Gift from Mother In Law

[cheesecake]

Errr... Girls. Did your MIL ask you wat u want for your wedding? As in... she is gonna buy something for u and give it to u during the tea ceremony right?

My mother in law kept asking what i wanted. Sighh!!! i say "shui-bian. If u wan buy, juz buy gold lo. it is a tradition i think. just a small small one will do?"... I already avoided her for many days over this topic becos i paiseh lah.

And den... i just drove her to Chinatown becos she say she wanna buy something. Then... she drag me to gold shop....

Shops over shops!!!

Urghh~!!! How i wish my HTB were with me just now.

Did your mother in law bring you girls go jewellery shops and ask u choose your own things???

yea!! i mean... i wanted just a small one. I just pick a small bracelet. But she say "must buy one set la"... i was like... Urgh! the gold now so expensive!

LOL~
If your MIL says that, then maybe since you are paisei, then maybe you want your MIL to choose for you? Just tell her you want something simple?

I mean.. yeah. i already picked the design i want last night becos im kinda being forced to (at that point of time . the situation . urgh! . u know?)

I only picked a small bracelet.

Den she say "ok. this design... buy one set!"

I was like... when the salesgirl press the calculator, my heartbeat beats so fast. Look at the gold price is crazily S$66.50 now. The salesgirl obviously very happy serving my mother in law.

And im sitting beside with my red cheek. Becos i really dont want her to spend such money. I almost fainted when i see the figure. U know?

I kept emphasizing... "err.. juz buy a bracelet will do. it is just a token from your heart. i really appreciate. i dont wan u spend so much". But she oso kept repeating .... "buy one set lah! wedding leh!"

Urgh!!!

i consider myself lucky when i managed to tell my MIL to go home and cool down and consider before making any decision. And i gave her the lame excuse saying that "oh...your son say he is hungry. we should go home".

[meilingg]

hahaha! i can understand.
But then i guess your MIL just wanna buy a set for you so you can wear it during your AD?
True, the price of gold is increasing crazily nowadays...
But since she already bought it, you can only accept it. Bo bian lah...

LOL~~~~ so she didn't get to buy yet? haha~
So clever of you!
Maybe you just tell her straight and if she insist buying a set, then maybe just don't get a very expensive one then...

I kept telling her those kinda lame excuses like... "still early. we still got time. lets wait for the gold price to drop."

Seriously, i know she got heart wanna buy giv me. Not that i dun wanna accept. I see the way she set her budget to buy me something. i feel very paiseh lah. And... arrgh!! i dunno how to tell u lah. Its like... accept such expensive gift from her??? I was like... *blush*

cheesecake: ur MIL so sweet to want to buy you a set that you will like. to the older generation, yellow gold keeps better compared to white gold pieces. i think if u tell her u dun wan her to spend so much money, she may get upset that u dun appreciate her efforts lor...just accept it graciously and thank her?
