Angelight... we are in same boat. DH's bro's wife is also MIL's fave DIL. Every year I see the difference in treatment and get upset. Spoils my day. I am waiting for MIL and her fave DIL to make comments on my gal then I will pounce. RRRRrrroar

I can understand comments from the fave DIL coz there no blood linkage between her and your gal. But why would your MIL pass comments on her own granddaughter!!! :?

I belong to the MIL’s favourite type. But it is actually not fun. I do feel embarrass when pple praise me at the expense of others. And I feel ostracised by the others. And I feel isolated, though I try to jus smile n downplay things said abt me. I even try to be friendly, but don’t feel accepted by others.

Well, my MIL is one person who brags about her fave DIL's baby (aka fave grandson) at MY gal's full month party... and guess to who... to my parents! :siao:

So this woman might just feign ignorance and start making useless comments if her DIL questions me about my gal at the reunion dinner... :rant:

No appetite to eat already... these things really make the dinner very stressful and defeats the original purpose in \"re-uniting with loved ones\".

For me, I'm looking forward to it, but preparations seem more exciting than the actual day somehow. But then again, it's really not anything as enjoyable as my childhood time. <Lao Liao :sad: >

Absolutely 100% looking forward to it. Kids are thrilled, great food at my mum's and MIL's, time with relatives, mahjong with old friends, drinking with neighbours...... :evil:

What's not to like?

OMG. I love CNY!!

SO looking forward to it!! A long-weekend for resting, collecting tons of angpao money and eating sweets, biscuits, drinking soft drinks, eating bakkwa and sticky cake like nobody's business. LOL

Here, I wish everyone a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very happy and auspicious Chinese New Year!

祝贺大家新年快乐，万事如意。 花开富贵， 子孙满堂。 年年有余， 龙年行大运！

CNY is always exciting cos it’s the only time where we meet up our friends and relatives. There are always lots of delicious home-baked cookies.


The festives mood usually comes in when I start baking New year cookies.

CNY for me is tolerating relatives bull-shxttxng about how well their kids are doing. Oh.. Ah Seng is talking to investors who are interested in putting money into his internet venture (still talking after 3 years). Ah Mei runs her own design agency (whatever that means), Ah Jie's husband is high-flying ang mo, can you see my mix-blood grandson so handsome? .

hahaha...UncleLim, think you are pretty young coz for me, I kind of enjoy the above BS and boasting and then think inside my heart who can 'blow the biggest cow! Actually, I take this as part of the fun of meeting different types of relatives / friends / etc during CNY. They are predictable, aren't they?

When people start to bull and boast, I will 'cheer' along to help them to make the bubble BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGER... (so I am 'well liked' by everyone! hahaha...)

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

yup.. :goodpost: dun take it too hard 和气生财!
