mich, i dun care if they mind or not. when we were there to bai nian on chu yi, i gave her another $50 cos she din wan to take $$ fr hb when hb asked her to help buy fish for jake. i din wan to take advantage of her, knowing tha she doesn't hv much $$. looking at my ILs, i really tell myself tha i must save up more for my old age so tha i dun hv to depend on my kid(s) so much as it might become a burden to them, esp e living standards r getting higher & higher. now, we aredi hv to spend so much on our kids, can imagine when they hv their family nxt time, e expenses will be even higher.

Jen, when i look at my IL I also feel the same way that I should do better planning. But when I look at my mum, I think she's the role model cos she has more $$$ than me... I'm counting on her to sponsor Serene and Joy's uni education ha ha ha.

mich, same here, when i look at IL, i better plan ahead for my retirement. when i look at my mum, she's aso my role model, she's really great lor cos she brought my bro & i up by herself as my parents r divorced as dad is a terrible gambler who asked my mum to sell away e flat to pay his da er long debt. then my mum tha time earned ringgit as she teaching in malaysia, she gotta earned extra income by giving tuition & making cookies/mooncakes/dumplings etc to bu tei jia yong. now, e hard life is over, she got much more $$ than me.
pooh, i hrd of bad reviews abt pine garden, got pp mentioned in e forum tha better to collect cake than ask them for delivery as they r either late or cld go wrong when deliver. for some, even when they self-collect, aso hv to wait v.long & aft waiting so long, e cake design cld still go wrong & hv to ask them to redo.
vic_ma, afternoon to you.

just that have to be fast hand fast leg to boot it before other pple gets it coz it'll be the june hols

mich, my mum is v.hardworking, tink it's her training during childhood. she's da jie, so gotta take care of her siblings & aso help my grandma to make dumplings to sell every morning. i still can remember tha last time when i was still young, she wld bring me along to CC to learn cooking/baking. she wld actually learn/improve on e recipe & sell to earn extra $$. i peifu her lor... she likes to study but grandma din like her to study, u know old generation doesn't believe in gers hv to study, so she always tells me tha luckily she fought for it, w some level of education, she cld still teach & bring us up. so she believes tha i hv to study so tha i dun hv to rely on hb. wat i admire her most is tha, aft wat my dad had done, she still forgives him & even helps him to rent those 1-rm flat & provides for him.
sweet, think since we start working, all these important things like 'flying' everywhr.. hahahha... i also cant rem whr i keep mine.. must go n search..
glayz, u start looking out for shane alr huh.. new sch not good?? start fresh.. hee..

1YO birthday
I think i will hold at my parents place this time since most of the guests were anyway my parent's guests during full mth celebration & most importantly i dont have to check with my MIL about everything. I getting tired asking permission for everything now cos this pantang that also pantang. i feel so judged/watched that its getting stressful living in my own house! (time to move out? wishful thinking)
how does housing loans go ar say a 4 room flat? must pay hor much upfront & after taht how mnay years to pay back , loan choices haha! i think moving out could be a good way long term for balanced inter-personal relationships man.

glayz, i aso saw tha someone mentioned tha big bird cake fr PG aso deformed til e kid cried when saw e cake. so w all e bad reviews, i din dare to take e risk. aft some postings on PG, there was a big hoo haa... a lot of mummies called up PG & claimed tha someone commented abt their cakes & services, etc tha PG called up tha mummy & said pp quoted her comments & told her e comments, etc. thot PG doing some damage ctrl to gain back their reputation, seems like they still boo boo on some orders.
mich, my mum is indeed v.kind. she even planned for my dad if she passed away b4 him by passing a sum of $$ to my SIL & I to give to dad every mth so tha he can still guo ri zi. she takes it as zou chi shang, like helping those helpless or no family de lao ren jia. wah... 5ys loan???
pinkzebra, tink u read up e thread i posted abt e reviews on cake shops & decide if u still wanna go ahead w PG bah.
vic_ma, yes, my mum still yanging my dad & even planned for him if my mum was to pass away 1st. can try put ur name as owner & vicky's name as occupant when buy hse? tha time, aft my parents divorced, she bought a 3rm flat, by right, PR can't buy hse w just 1 IC but i was listed as occupant & i a spore citizen. then when i tried to apply for a hse w hb, my mum had to agree to sign a form to sell away e hse.

vic_ma, shdn't be a prob for vicky to buy a hse w her hb in future. when i applied for mine w hb, HDB detected tha my name listed under my mum's hse as occupant, as she's a PR, she can't keep the hse, so i wrote a letter, gotten my mum to sign tha she agreed to sell away her hse once hb & i gotten e key, & HDB allowed hb & i applied for flat. maybe u wanna check w HDB to cfm cos dunno if they've changed e rules as mine was many yrs ago.
