If he no contribute, then no steamboat. Gas and electricity also need money.

[swenson]

magic words using magic mouth:

We are having pot luck, so every family contribute something for dinner
Do you think you can bring shabu-shabu pork slices, about 2kg? should be sufficient for 8 pax.
XXX will be bringing fish and crab
YYY will be bringing abalone x3 cans
I will prepare the rest

Don't be afraid to open your mouth. The initial first time is always difficult, but say 1 time, the rest of your life will be easier

Singapore unaffordable and unliveable until once a year CNY steamboat food also must $$$ and stressed out ?

Sad to be family members in Singapore ?

Singapore society really cmi state ? Turning dishonourable ?

Then dun be a ***** and just voice out to your sister to contribute. Hate those kinds of ppl wanna act generous but quietly bitching around about ppl not paying. Anyway CNY dinner 1 yr host 1 time, usually the host will settle

Yes, we will give the host (my brother) a fat angbao. My brother can cook very well and none of us can match his standard. So he will do all the cooking and we will give him angbaos instead.

Actually is the one closer to you, your sister saying or doing anything? If no why are you not asking her?

If she is already contributing something, that mean your bil already contributed as a family with her.
