I do not like people too particular over money. I know it is not wrong; some people penny pinch as a priority but I think if you want to do it, at least do it with some class. I know people who NEED to milk their money's worth. I could give you a very straightforward example: paying $XXXX for an airticket and expect to be given souvenirs from the flight. "At least I got something mah."

Somehow I feel Singaporeans/Malaysians are particularly notorious.

Anyway, many weddings were held this year and I've heard my fair share of horror stories. I don't get couples who want to profit from their weddings. WTF?? A wedding is something you want to share with your family and friends. You should want to leave many candid photographs and lovely memories, not a bad taste in mouths of guests. I've heard of a girl who went around telling her friends how much she spent for the wedding and the minimum amount each red packet should be. Perhaps she was joking but since I know her personally, I know she ain't. (She would steal peanuts from the flight too, for distant relatives....hello?) At her wedding, she made sure EVERY red packet had a name behind it. Heh. People do the darndest things sometimes. Why get married if half the wedding, you keep wondering if the red packets would cover the costs?

Don't even get me started on people who receive vouchers as rewards but whine endlessly how they should have be given POSB money vouchers instead.

Whatever happened to etiquette?
