peck, i woke up way b4 tha, then cldn't sleep, so surf net & post on forum.
sng, wah... for children whom u dunno or c once a yr aso give 6-8 bucks. for those unmarried gd friends or gd friend's kids, i aso give 10 bucks. how come ur hb got 8k pkt fr gambling table?
peck/sng/mich, at least ur MIL/FIL still give u back ang bao. ever since we got married, we aso gave ang bao to MIL & FIL (on top of wat hb gave to them to bao ang bao), ea of us gave them $100 ang bao ea (total $400 out fr our pkt) but they never gave us back, so aft 1st yr, i qn my hb how come they dun give, told hb it's not tha i'm eyeing back for e $$, it's supposed to give us back as a token for gd luck. 2nd yr, MIL gave back 1pkt to ea of us, then i ask hb then FIL no need to give? tis happened yr aft yr, then MIL will oni give aft hb asked, mei you xin to give us e xiao bei gd luck charm & FIL oni knows abt input never output lor. last yr, MIL told hb nxt yr (tis yr), oni give bb, no longer give us. so i fed up, told hb, ok then, tis yr, we just give them ea $100 additional b4 CNY for them to buy things, we stop giving them ang bao. i tink MIL/FIL tinking is xiao bei shd give ang bao to xiang ta men bai nian but they tink dun need to give us back ang bao since we r married liao, they dunno wat is yi shi yi shi, for us to hv gd luck in e yr ahead, so unlike my mum/dad.
glayz, my mum's side, standard $10 for unmarried cousins or cousins' kids. my dad's sides, we hardly meet up during CNY & there's no standard even if we do meet. hb's side, standard $4.
sng, i can't help but find tha being ur kid is so stressful. their childhood is so short compared to study/work life, so it's a time to enjoy. my nephew who never attended montessori or enrichment/music classes, just SIL reading him story books & flashcards, he's doing fine now in his studies tho he plays computer/tv games everyday. tho i signed up jake for bjg when he's so young, main focus is still for e fun & chances to play w other bbs, of course, i do hope tha he does learn some things. but if we c tha he's not enjoying himself during e trials, i wun even consider signing him up.
ros, hope u & family r feeling better, recover soon as u r bringing amadeus for e swim tis sat & to meet ur future DIL.
powerpuffs, 2 units, used to be 1 unit oni but fierce competition, so they gotten e unit besides as well. yah, hopefully, we can be neighbours, if on same day, maybe can consider ordering fr e same caterer & ask for disc since it's deliver to units side-by-side, hahaha...
bear, it depends bah, maybe i'm too used to my mum/dad practice liao... we'll give them big ang bao ea & they give us smaller ang bao back in return for gd luck, so i tink my ILs shd do likewise lor. cos i dun tink my married SIL gave them ang bao, so it's ok tha they dun give her & hb any ang bao back but we gave them, so i tink they shd give us back for yi shi yi shi. i mean, hb has asked abt it since 1st yr aft marriage, dun they catch e hint? still must ask every yr... since they practise SIL's way, then we might as well follow.
sporty, jake aso pulls my top when he wans milk milk.
anywyas, i missed latching la but his two lil teeth very powerful leh...and i very scared of pain ah...
