Do you dislike anyone?

A psychologist once asked a group of college students to jot down, in thirty seconds, the initials of the people they disliked.

Some of the students taking the test could think of only one person.

Others listed as many as fourteen.

The interesting fact that came out of this bit of research was this: Those who disliked the largest number were themselves the most widely disliked.

When we find ourselves continually disliking others, we ought to bring ourselves up short and ask ourselves the question: "What is wrong with me."

Often I find that most humans tend to dislike one another. Why can't they just live in harmony and make it into a gracious environment for us to live together happily?
I know that I myself is not a saint as I dislike 2 people. But why must people provoke me to dislike them?
Why can't humans just love and help one another? Isn't it great with love filling in the air?
Nowadays in most schools, they do not teach about building up good character. It's all about MARKS! It's such a pity that we, living in a democratic society, are becoming numb to the people around us.

Questions about holding a wedding dinner with our joint account

Suddenly thought of many questions about having a joint account which I saw in LD although Lao Gong and I have a joint fixed and savings account together.

Why do we need to save and pay for the wedding dinner? This has always been the tradition and culture that the guy's parents pay for it.

Since they always say that we must follow the traditional culture by holding a wedding dinner, why don't they pay since it's part of the tradition that the male parents pay for everything? Then lao gong and I do not have to scrimp and save. We are saving 60% of our salary which left quite little to shop at all. The cost of transport, the cost of lving, the cost of a flat, the cost of everything in Singapore is so high. Needless to say, a wedding table costs around $900.

I just want a honeymoon to japan, paris or vienna. I do not need a grand dinner that vanishes in just 3 hours. It sounds very disheartening to see our money fly away in 3 hours time. Nowadays, people lose money by having a wedding dinner whereas in the past, people will gain some money. Furthermore, it seems to be coming out from my pocket as well. I would rather spend my money on the honeymoon.

Tell me what is a good reason for the female to pay for her own wedding? I can't seem to find a good reason to it.

I just hope that when we hold a wedding dinner, his parents will automatically play a part in paying some of the costs. Luckily nobody reads my blog or else I will be shoot by some people with old mentality.
