touraco,
Ya, that is my "family culture" too.. sometimes buay ta han.. but I tried to be generous with her by not asking her for $$$ when I helped her to buy food then sometimes she will also do the same. Father and mother also like that..
so i had a culture clash with fh family when they are : my $ is ur $.
she already getting 8 tables from my fh, dunno what other requests she will have, I very scare too.

how much will you still give yr mum? i dun give any allowance but was contemplating giving after wedding cos i plan to go home everyday for dinner.
my family belief is that if not married yet it is their responsibility so i dun need to give any allowance.
mum ask me to save it... but granny very concern over my spending...

cutiebear,
I ask my mum before but she changed her mind here and there, she not listen to me, but those relatives etc.
i think everything will only be finalised when fh's family come together formally to talk abt what is needed by both parties but i think will not be so soon.. perhaps that year.
touraco,
seemed like we are both in similar situation. *sigh*

aiyo... i can undertstand how it feels when run into a wall over preparations cos i so sian now can't be bothered to prepare already...anyway i concentrate on exams.
in my case is not the wedding or pin jing that is a problem. its the hse cos my family expect fh to buy a hse on his own without my help. quite impossible here in sg le.. the hse here all so overpriced. fh also thinking of not buying cos he may not want to stay here long term...so now hanging in a balance i also sian already...
see stupy, not everything lucky la...
