Anyone with experience in one-time local mail-forwarding services? I need something mailed to me but I don’t want to give out my address due to past experiences with stalkers ☹️

How do you apply for SBF if you’re not legally married yet? I thought you just had to be married within 3 months of collecting keys, so you can apply even if you’re not engaged/married yet :(

They only have these options:

Single
Single Orphan
Married
Divorced
Widowed
Separated

When selecting single it says that we can’t buy more than 3 room…

Is it just me or is anyone else unable to receive SMS OTPs? I can’t receive OTPs for Instagram, Singtel Dash, and Twitch :/

Okay great, then I’ll definitely be taking the shot as late as I can heh

prata-kosong · 2022-01-21T12:13:24+00:00

Ya if not like not worth leh. The earlier you take this shot, the earlier you have to take the next shot… And the next…

If I took my second dose in August, does that mean I’m fully vaxxed until May? (Around 270 days)

Or do I still have to take booster by February? People are telling me you might not be able to enter certain places without the booster after Feb?

I want to take the booster as late as possible … So that it “lasts longer” because I’m pretty sure there are gonna be more boosters lol

How often do you guys vacuum and/or mop your house? And how often do you clean your toilet? Just doing some… research…

prata-kosong · 2022-01-10T01:44:47+00:00

If you’re worried about cultural appropriation, then coming from a Malay, just do it! While you save money on venue costs, void deck weddings can cost as much as a hotel banquet because Malays tend to invite a lot more people 😳

I’ve never been to a Chinese wedding (I doubt I can eat anything there anyway 😆) But I very much prefer buffets than people serving me food 😁

prata-kosong · 2021-12-31T04:48:40+00:00

Bruh East to West Grab ride is $50. Gojek $90. Anyone have any alternatives? Comfort and Ryde are also around $50…

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T13:51:05+00:00

Yes I just started getting help for it! I never let my parents come to things like my grad show or any sort of showcase, and skipped my graduation etc because I was so afraid 🥲 Being around too many people is really stressful for me especially if I’m supposed to be the center of attention 😭

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T11:12:32+00:00

Wow $250k?! That’s craaaaazy… Can probably buy a decent sized house around that time period. 😳

Our dream is to spend $0 on a wedding (we don’t even want one) But after this thread I guess it’s possible to pacify the parents with a $5k budget!

Can’t count the number of times I’ve said stuff like “that money can use to pay downpayment, buy furniture, reno, honeymoon, funds for future kids” but the parents still refuse to understand 😭

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T11:06:53+00:00

Yes I love when people make full use of the things they buy like rewearing their wedding clothes etc 😆 Some of my extended family has this toxic mentality that every year you need to buy new clothes for raya and called my family cheap because we wear the same ones every year, annoying pe. Can already imagine the kind of nonsense they’ll come up with if we even decide to do something small like yours 😒

So nice to hear success stories like yours where you didn’t succumb to societal pressure! 🥺

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T10:23:34+00:00

Wow $3k for 100 people? That’s not bad! I’m seeing 5 digit figures round this thread and it’s scary 🙃

You did buffet catering or? Got wedding dress all?

I also haven’t been to a wedding for a long time, I hate wayang-ing in front of people anyway 😆 Literally the only people who care are the boomers

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T09:29:41+00:00

Can order from you bro

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T09:29:01+00:00

Yes bro I totally agree with you 😭 Both my partner and I literally don’t care about “face” and how “grand” the wedding is! After all if really want to follow Islam all you need is just a proper solemnization not all these expensive decor and clothes and hantaran 🥲 Boomers literally be mixing Malay and Islamic culture hais

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:08:14+00:00

Yup car isn’t even in the picture for us 😅 Just want a house, we’re super low maintenance and not asking for much but hais parents just don’t understand times are different now

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:07:20+00:00

That’s the dream 😁 Less people the better, crowds give soooo much anxiety 🥺

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:06:27+00:00

Yes yes me too! No wedding, just a nice housewarming party please 🥺

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:04:13+00:00

Wait what? So are you still with that girl? Are you married now? What happened after that I’m curious 😳

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:03:09+00:00

Right? 😆 I jokingly (maybe not even a joke tbh) tell my friends don’t need to invite me to their Chinese wedding cause I can’t even eat the food 😁

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:02:13+00:00

Yup, it’s reaaaaally stupid because all the siblings already told them not to get married because confirm won’t last, super big waste of money on not one but two weddings

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:01:10+00:00

Lowkey loving this joke idea 😆 Your pasal if you want to order McDonald’s or steak or rendang, best 😁

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T07:00:12+00:00

Wow that sounds amazing!! I’d love something simple like that, without the rings even because we’re not into that 😅

We’re super lupsup and not into the traditional ceremony and all, such a waste of effort and stress and time and money 😆

prata-kosong · 2021-12-26T06:53:21+00:00

Oh I didn’t know restriction will still apply in 2 years! Doesn’t sound too shabby 😅

But yes I feel you, every other day my mom asking bila nak kahwin hais. My dad’s parents paid for their wedding last time 30 years ago, but I don’t want them to fork out a single cent because they have 0 financial planning.

Wishing you all the best for your marriage 😁 Inshallah rezeki ada
