Crazy Mum Really Driving Me Nuts

-
I had came across a piece of news through Blogspot last nite, so decided to let mum know since she liked the "lead actress" in that piece of news so much. She had the same reaction as me, stunned. I just wish for happiness for the couple in their upcoming marriage.

My mum is still blaming me for causing the rift in the friendship with "lead actress". She was saying that, " My son is not showing enough concern towards gals, that's the reason why he can't get a gf." I just retorted and said, " Seeing my friends & relatives getting married makes me not want to get married anymore." I am glad that I took most of my friends' advice, by not letting her know that a gal has set my heart moving recently, otherwise she would start her relentless nagging to ask me to be quick to get the gal & frighten people away.

Was surprised that Claudia asked my mum why I did not attend her tea ceremony and church wedding today. I just told mum to explain to her that I was sick and my work was piling up, therefore I need to work. Mum said that I should have taken leave for her wedding, instead of Sherry's. I told her that Sherry asked me to attend about 1.5 months ago and followed up with her invitation last month, whereas Claudia only gave us the invitation card last week. Although my mum was informed before that, I was not aware of anything. Furthermore, I am not very close to Claudia, just usually met up during CNY at her place for CNY festivities. Therefore I decided not to take leave.

Wonder what's in my mum's mind & Claudia's mind?

Anonymous: I did go for the wedding dinner, just that I didn't attend the tea ceremony & her church wedding in the day as I was working.

Elaine: I got to agree on that. But she knows I am still single & I won't give her much too. What's more, if I give, it will be in the family ang pow.

Shionge: Yes. That's rite. I know Sherry for 9 yrs already, since my poly days. So how can I not go and share her joy?

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

House Visiting & AVietnamese Girlfriend For Me??

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
