MIL called last night- reported that EH's bt had arrived- weighed 3kg 3 wks ago, will be 1 mth old in a week. It was a long awaited news. They must be very busy, it took them 3 weeks to tell us- the 'immediate' family members. No name was given though. S was asked if he would be coming back anytime soon. To that, he said no. MIL asked again if we wanted to buy a HDB flat (so that MIL and FIL can stay). S replied he believed it was a property bubble and suggested that they sell their condo now. MIL just gave a skeptical laugh. MIL called S's niece and nephew to speak to him over the phone. There were several moments of awkard silence, as each did not know what to say.

My mom strongly recommended me buy jewellery or give a red packet for the new bt. We gave them a present in May, but there was no words of "thanks". In addition, EH was rude to me and scolded me recently, as he could not get his way. So using his own words,  his "actions speak for his destination".
