you would be surprised to know how many fathers don't give the alimony (the word for shan yang fei?).Originally posted by tripudio_mutatio:shouldnt the alimony from your father be a must and not be controlled by the woman?
go to the courts if need be.
i guess ur mum is really hurt by ur dad.. dat's y.. it's not easy to maintain a family alone not forgetting ur mum is earning a low income.. try talking to ur mum how hurting it is when she said those words to u? i noe it's tough to be so open esp when u are in ur teens.. but trust me good communication willl make things better..Originally posted by applesweetgirl:thank you for the good advice. =)
i seldom eat out as my breakfast of oats at home could last me quite some time. =)
i think the problem with me is maybe i spend money on unnecessary things? but then again i'm a teenager and have lots of things i want. so i guess i must cut down on those stuff like taking puris, buying colour pens, buying clothes and magazines....
ah..i'm ashamed of the stuff i spend money on. really really feel guilty and sorry now.
i guess i'm just frustrated with myself because i haven't gone out at all during these short short holidays..just kept working and working. and when i read my friends' blog about what they have done during the holidays ( shop, go overseas and stuff ), i feel so...i dunno how to explain. feel teary bah. hahahaha! >_<
and i hate it when my mother ask me to go ask money from my father. my father, on the topic of money, always become silent. i'm quite afraid. and then i stop asking money from my mother whenever she ask me to ask from my father. and she will accuse me of liking my father more which is so untrue. her words hurt like hell.
ah...saying all these makes me sad again so i should stop.
How old are you? File for maintenance for both you and your mum if it hasn't been done.Originally posted by applesweetgirl:you would be surprised to know how many fathers don't give the alimony (the word for shan yang fei?).
if he don't give, and the wife don't do anything, nobody knows.
of course my mother want to sue him but sueing needs money too. she did sue him once (took up $1200!!!) but no use also. he just pay for one month then never pay le.....
so i think we'd rather save up the money. i'm so sadddddddd. hmph.

Hi Applesweetgirl,Originally posted by applesweetgirl:hiya!
thanks for all your kind advices.
i've just learnt today from my mother that my father is supposed to give us $1000 a month...wow!! that would surely help a lot! ^^ (erm. but he also nv give. so i so happy for what? haha)
and yeah. i can understand how my mother is under stress. we talked today and she said the money she earned...she can't even enjoy. i understand coz the money i earned...i can't even enjoy too. just keep paying for necessary stuff like notes and stuff.
i think maybe i will go teach tuition bah..you all say until sooo good like that! hahaha! i'm also thinking of teaching basic japanese to ppl who are interested in the language yet not interested to learn too deep into it. haha. >_<
for those who are curious on how i can stretch my 50 dollar so much ah...let me tell you why bah! ^^
magazines..i buy japanese magazines!!! >_< but i buy from yahoo auctions and i do not buy them every month. i only buy them when i've read finish one thoroughly. a magazine is about $3 bah. ^^
next, clothes i buy in yahoo auctions too or during sales where most of the clothes are like $10 a piece only!!! but sometimes if i really really really like something, i will just buy bah. just want to add on that i'm not an impulsive buyer. i consider a super long time before buying anything.
i hardly eat outside so that's another amount of money saved.
oh yahhH!!! i love to take pictures so i'm wondering if i can be a model??!?!! woot!! what do you think? it seems so fun.
despite not being very rich, my mother buys me so many things like this computer i'm using now...internet access...necklace and stuff.
my boyfriend also gives me so many things (he's not rich too actually.) like the wallet i'm using, my schedule book, my mp3 player...i'm really grateful le.
i think happy can le bah!!! ^^
just that sometimes when you work so hard and you find that there are still no savings or anything..it gets frustrating!!! i think most of us understand bah? haha. ^^
oh yah..and i'm in poly. the notes so freaking expensive!!! $5 for a thin thin pile of notes??!!! i really don't understand! T^T last time first three months in sajc, their notes so thick at most also only 90cents. why such a big difference??? haiz!
Originally posted by applesweetgirl:urm. i'm already working...
i just got suspended from work (for one month) because i didn't go to work on one day...oopsy!
so it's one month later bah! meanwhile, let me just concentrate on school reopening first. so many new things to learn! ^^
