What a headache

Just now,I had an argument with mum again. She was suprised that I invited my friends to my house a week before my wedding. She said, why cant you invite to our house. I was so unhappy when I hear what she said, because I dont understand whats the problem? Whats wrong with inviting my friends to my house? You mean I dont even have the right to invite my friends to my own house?

She began to flare up, she claimed thats because I flared up first. She said, that will be the time where we are about to lay the bed(chinese call it "An Chuan", so its not encouraged or permissable for anybody to enter our bridal room(masterroom), and anbody whom have family members that have just passed away are strictly not allowed. This is according to tradition and its for our own good. So I said, okie i dont let them enter my room, so living room shouldnt be a prob then right. But both of us are already very unhappy with each other, so our tone arent very nice and friendly. She began to say that shes not going to care for me in future after this event.


I was very sad, after some moments of reflections. I decided to pluck up my courage to write a note and paste it outside the bathroom while shes bathing. I apologised for the harsh tone I used, tho I feel shes the one who started it first. Anyway a sorry doesnt cost much, if it can resolves the tension, why not. Afterall shes my mum. But she walked straight into her room after seeing the note not even acknowledging it. She even throw away the note.


I was pretty upset over it. Haiz, its only one more month that I get to stay with her officially, why cant we both treasure the moments. Why cant we talk well just like what my hubby did to his mother. They never really vent temper to each other before, even if voice was raised, its just out for fun only. Their relationship is very close, I really envy them. I wanted to let my mum know that I really treasure her opinions and I really wanted to treasure the very last month that I get to stay here officially and accompany her. But we just kept arguing and quarreling with each other times after times over this marriage events..over the nitty gritty stuffs..over following the traditions..and over the pattern and style we worked...like she always procrastinate, but I wanted to get everything done with and properly planned. I dont understand why the guy side can, but we cant. Like I dont understand why cant she go ask her relatives who are attending, and who are not now, why must wait till two weeks before when she give out invitation cards. Isnt it too rushed to arrange the guest by then? Here me and hubby are so worry, but there shes not being cooperative. I am so stressed over the whole event. I wanted everything to goes well and according to plans, but theres so many traditions to follow. I dont understand why my sis always end up quarreling with mum when shes getting married last time, just follow traditions, whats so hard about it. But now i know there are really some things that is difficult to follow, and difficult to compromise. Esp when my mother in law is a very modern women who dont know much on these traditional stuffs while my mum is very traditional, I find it hard you know.

I remisice the time where I kept calling mum when Im studying in Australia a few years ago. I missed her so much that I feel so uneasy without talking to her everyday. Now that Im shifting out soon, although its still very near, I just feel very lost and uneasy. How good would it be if we can still stay together or maybe we can travel here and there to stay. But I have to remember that Im not alone now, I have to respect my hubby too.

Shi Dian Jing

Yesterday, my mother in law and hubby brought me to the jewellery shops to choose my shi dian jing and a gift from her. She initially asked me to choose a bangle, but I couldnt find any I like, cos bangles design are quite limited. I expanded my search to bracelet, but both me and hubby feel that its a waste to spend so much on a bangle. With the amount of budget given, a necklace would be more appropriate. End up, I chose a Destinee Necklace from Lee Hwa. Wow, thats my one and only Destinee series of jewellery. It also came with a black sophisticated jewellery box with a microscope in it. The salesperson also give us a Destinee shi dian jing box as a complimentary gift.
I managed to choose a pair of earings from Lee Hwa as well, cos my mother in law commented that the earings I choose from Soo Kee doesnt look nice. And I also need this extra purchase for the lee hwa priviledge membership (if i do not buy a lower priced item, my points for the destinee necklace will be gone, not worth it).This pair of earings defintely not my very first choice, but still considered as acceptable. I do not want dear to spend so much on the jewellery set. Though many would feel that Im silly to have said that, but afterall his money is still my money. Haaa. I would rather him save up some money for our honeymoon. Perhaps we still can buy a pair of couple watch from Switzerland.
I feel that my mother in law and my hubby really dotes me a lot. Quite glad that my mother in law is not an old fashioned women who will insist to buy gold chain for her daughter in law..haaaa....Though gold worths more, but I still like diamonds more than gold leh.haaa
Diamonds is a girl's best friend

A new chapter in life

MOVING DAY 11 APR 2008

Here some pictures I taken during RUSH Hours!

Colleagues at work
Colleagues at work
A mysterious neighbour???? Can guess?

A new blog, A new chapter in life and a new office.

Today is our moving day. We will be moving to another level in the same building. Finally, I can have some peace....only those sitting around me in the office will understand and know why. Now, I'm waiting for my dear partner to be back and we can start switching off all the printers by 3pm and some at 4pm...Wat a pain, everyone can leave at 3pm after signing off, except us...

You can see how people try to ignore and push jobs during this shifting...i can see arrows flying all across..and unfortunately, it landed to me and my partner. Haiz, but I'm glad i have a very very good partner who has been helping me. Without him, I think I cant do everything alone.

Thats all for now...
