MMM:


😉 We had this discussion on national day. I told my son that in the event that he is jilted, don't ever think of committing suicide. It is not worth it as time will heal and it does. Also along the way, he will meet better people.

i told my kids the same thing too. also not to hang onto a relationship even if both have been together for more than 2 years, make a clean break. likewise, if the bf proposes (especially if dd already thinking of ending the relationship) in front of many pp + they are all pressuring her to accept it, dont ever accept it (she will have our full support in this matter).

The scariest thing is assuming he didn't have that much $, some chap is already in debt even before the wedding. Frankly, if i am the girl, i don't think i will fall head over heels but wonder if this is the right person I want to marry. No financial sense and potentially driving us to poverty???


For the girls who demanded for all these..... I would ask my son to :siam: We are starting to educate my P3 boy on the type of girls that he should go for but of course love is blind... Definitely not a girl who wants to milk him dry :moneyflies: but rather someone who helps build the future with him. That is more important.



I told my son these too and especially I read news about how some youngsters committed suicide bec their loved ones dumped them :sad:

I heard from my friend that nowdays most of the men propose their gals with rings and flowers and most of the time they cost ard 10k :roll:



:oops: a noob qns :oops:

when proposing with ring, is that engagement ring or wedding ring?

if engagement ring is S$10k, then wedding ring must be :yikes: :faint:

No lah, engagement ring costs more cos comes with large solitaire mah... the wedding ring usually doesn't have large rocks.... but small ones in one whole circle will also be expensive.

Anyway, sometimes the engagement ring's size and cost are also cos the guy wants face... my friend said she never asked for a large ring but got a big one cos the guy wanted to buy one that would make him look good. :faint:

if he doesnt spend the $$$, his dad’s mistresses would be spending them. gosh, maybe the mistresses’ weekly allowance is more than what he spent on his proposal.

Agreed absolutely.

Initially, when the young couple gets married, usually finances is tight as both has just started working and having to save for wedding and house (be it a simple one). In such cases, a simple engagement ring or wedding band will do. Over the years, if they save and invest wisely, they should be better off, and by they can enjoy life and celebrate some birthdays and anniversary with bigger rocks and luxury items (note I say some, not necessary to have so many such items either).

Show me you can grow that $15k 10x within a year and I know our future will be free of financial worries.


Save up for 1 whole year and spend $15k on a proposal like this...... think I need to take on a 2nd job to make sure we can survive.

The story i told was... this guy earned 2500 per month since not much other liability just give parents 500 and save ard 1k every month... then come 1 yr later had 10K saved mah... so then he proposed to her gal with 8-9k ring and flowers and dunno wat... which I feel is waste lor...


did he get the girl? or did she left him long before thinking that he is stingy or something?

If I were the girlfriend, I'd rather the $15k went into getting me a big big diamond ring, and not the silly proposal!



so how big is your diamond ring? :evil:

Eh so naughty you ah!

But I think all such displays don't matter to me. It's the heart that matters. My DH didn't need all this song and dance to win me over...all he needed to do was to ask :love:
And that was free! No fancy dinner or lunch even!

Of course it's nice for a girl if the boy makes the effort. But effort can also be ploughed into a thoughtful speech or something like that (my friend's DH made a beautiful photo album of their time together...all this in the pre-digital photos days). That's so much more meaningful than a human-sized carrot...

wonder whether there is any cooling off period that the girl can return the ring?

To me, the wedding is the beginning. Its not like we will live happily ever after.

The real challenge starts after marriage. Maintaining a marriage takes loads of effort. A $15k proposal doesn’t guarantee a smooth marriage. Remember, its the beginning, not the end. Don’t be too caught up by a moment of "star shinning" act…

In any case, this is frivolous for normal people to consume.


Just a real story to share…once a wealthy friend courted a girl with alot of these frills almost daily but with no success. In the end, the one with less wealth but more chemistry won the girl over. So the success of a proposal contingents on the amount of chemistry between 2 persons and not the frills. But some people may disagree if they feel that materialism is pervasive amongst Singapore girls.

A few days ago our local papers also reported on how our men pay wedding planners for ideas on how to propose to their gals


i read about it too. this is a worrying trend. Singaporean guys so hopeless or lack creativity that need to pay others to plan for them? :?

maybe it's the GF's demand to have a romantic and one of a kind proposal before she say yes :roll: :stompfeet: :slapshead:
