MIL (Mother In-Law) Inspection Weekend
July 4, 2008
My younger SIL, Emma, is busy tidying up her house at this moment as her MIL (being my mom) is on the way from SP to KL for the weekend. This will be her first MIL visit to the house in Equine Park. Myself & kak lin (my elder SIL) had advised her what to do & what not to do, how to smile politely or how to buat-buat dengar tapi actually tak dengar. Hehehehe.
Our first tip was to get extra fan. My mother sleeps “in a room with the aircond switch-on the whole night” type. So, if the room is hot, not enough cool according to her standards, mom will not be able to sleep well. I hope Emma has made sure the house is dust free. If not her MIL will have “kaki berpasir”. And she will have to bear through out her MIL stay with statements like : “Kalau mama kan………” should my mom doesn’t like anything in the house. 
So to my dear Emma, I wish you all the best with your MIL over the weekend.Thanks for having her and spare me the cleaning time of my house this weekend. Good Luck!!!!

Hey sis, sorry while i was browsing the net, i saw about Mother-in-law topic in ur blog. Personally i think, your sister in-law might be ok or not ok with the statement “MIL inspection weekend’. kalau saya, saya kurang senang bah..
saya pun ada kakak ipar yang gemar berkata begitu. mommy mahu datang rumah, mau kasi bersih. bukan rumah tidak saya tidak kemas, rumah saya sentiasa kemas. tapi kadang2 kata itu boleh mengundang perasaan tidak selesa pada sesetengah orang. saya faham kakak ipar saya belum berkahwin dan mungkin dia tidak peka ttg hal ini.
mmg patut kita layan ibu mentua kita sebaik2nya, ttp lagi bagi kita layan ibu mentua kita sama dgn ibu kita. saya setuju dgn cara cik yurani beri tips. tapi ianya boleh mengundang rasa stress. saya harap adik ipar cik tidak ada perasaan begitu. mungkin saya saja bah… maaf ye saya mencelah. you MIL ada buat begitu ke?

No worries. My SIL is fully aware of this posting, and fully aware what I meant. It is something that we joke/tease about everytime mom is in KL.
My mother does the inspection at my house too, and being the daughter, I get the worst comment. Her sons gets it too. My mom is a very fussy & proper lady, but her children/daugter in-law are more laid back like my dad. Suka tengok mama leter, pastu kitorang semua buat tak tau. Hehehehe. And I am sure both my sister in-law will agree with me if I say “Mama tu kuat leter ja, tapi dia okay je” They don’t have to do that much to impress their MIL. Kalau balik rumah MIL, diorang lagi dimanjakan adalah, semuanya siap.
My MIL??? Kita takdelah. Although I would love to have “aunty M” as mother in-law. Mamat………. are you reading this? Hahahahahahaha.

oohhh gitu. terus terang bah… saya tak suka ipar2 saya kata, mommy mau dtg rumah mesti kemas, kasi bersih. mungkin cara kamu kata sama ipar kaum lain, cara mereka kata pada saya lain. saya jelak betul bah… kadang2 kata2nya over2 gitu. sakit hati aku bah.. tapi dalam masa yg sama bila MIL masing2 dtg umah.. sibuk bikin tension sama aku. menyampah. sibuk komplen MIL masing2, mak diaorg tak boleh komplen.
saya doa kamu cepat kawin. take care. salam jauh dari sabah
