Hi Summer
No she is not paying for it, but she is heartpin for my hubby I guess. Cause to her, her son does not earn much. And my parents only insist on the 10 tables, 40 boxes of cakes, the basic gdl items (Hokkien) and the actual day 1 fresh pork leg only. As I am their only daughter, so I think 10 tables is reasonable.
My mil right from the day I rom to her son, she nag until now. She said why we rom so early, but in fact we already park tow for 2 years. Now 2 years later then we married. That means I fellow my hubby for 4 years already. Hee Hee

Time flies.
My mum never asked my mil to buy jewellery for me, and the dowry also up to them to give us whatever amount they like.
But my mil paid for my house washing machine and the altar table. She is good to us, but whenever she starts to nag about her buddhism knowledge for 2 long hours. Our ears and head will go mad. Ha Ha Ha

And she always like to do things her own method, and everyone must fellow her way of doing thing I also don't know why.
Nowadays she keep quiet, never said much about our honeymoon and wedding matters. At first, got ask my hubby to consider properly, before booking the honeymoon package. Cause it costs $3000 plus for 8 days Korea tour for 2 persons.
Then we went to book with ASA tour agency and informed her. Then my hubby explained to her why we booked with that agency and she shut up now.
Think she is also lazy to nag at us liao, been nagging at us for 2 years already. Ha Ha
Maybe her impression of me is also not good, cause my hubby's younger brother gf is a vegetarian same as mil. And she is a very gentle woman and I can see my mil likes her very much.
But I am not a vegetarian, and when I talk I am not gentle. Just normal voice tone. And maybe my mil is treating me this way, when she is first married into the Chia's family. Her mil also treated her this way too. I am still trying my best to figure her out, and try to explain to her whenever I don't agree and don't quarrel with her.Another thing to take note I have been on and off job for the past 2 years, so maybe her impression of me is even worse. This point I am not really sure, I just guess only. Hee Hee
But sometimes her nagging is too powerful, we will give up and no choice but to fellow her instructions to do certain thing lor.
And another funny thing my hubby told me is - since my mum is asking 10 non vegetarian table, and she is a real buddhist fellower. She is going to the temple to pray for 1 whole month to reduce our sin.
I almost fainted when I hear that, my family and relatives are the one eating the food. They don't care about the sin, why must she worry about the sin??? certain thing about her buddhist religion, I also don't understand at all. Just let her do whatever she likes lor.
I just try my best to control my temper and don't quarrel with her, must think of my hubby.
I don't wish him to be stuck in between his mum and me.
Nowadays, we view things in a more postive manner, Not like last time, we always quarrel because of his mum. And I am also angry with my mil. Nowadays, I just find my mil is very funny and cute that's all. And she is doing things good for us, not bad things to us. So now we also don't bother and make ourselves so unhappy.
Now we both are very happy and excited and can't wait for the actual day to come soon. What about U?
By the way, my tea dress is not chosen yet. Have U choose your teadress yet?
Hi Steve
Wow! you top up 2k, me top up about $2300 plus I think. All the best to u. By the way, has your wife choose her tea dress yet? I checked with yuan yuan. She kept telling me don't need to choose so early. Is it true? I am going for the tea dress fitting on 10th Sept 2006. Just wondering will it be too late?
