(2008/11) November 2008

Dimples: My hubby said he is going to quit his job once our ger reaches her teens cos need to trail her around..
 


Jo,
Yah... Won't bring to CC liaoz. Hv signed the withdrawal form yesterday already. Now thinking what type of classes is good to send her in. Heard alot about GUG. *thinking*


Lucia,
hahaah... tat's a good one. But my hub cannot resign cos he is main breadwinner. Maybe he will hire PI instead. *lolz*
 
dymples: lucky u 3 mei-nu daughters, gals are good wor! always dote parents! like how i dote my parents haha...pay for their holiday, give allowance, ang paos, meals isn't tat wonderful...thnk of it when u and ur hubby grow old...sure enjoy life!

My gal finished her enrichment class this week, next mth going preschool...sigh not sure if she can adapt...she also scared go near other ppl w/o me ard.
 
Lucia: My husband says he will follow my gal everywhere when she is a teenager that includes see movies, go out with friends, he said he will fetch everyone. So long as he can follow her..i hear oredi can laff so funny. Dads always dote on their gals. Like how my dad was so protective of me when I was young..
 
Follow daughters ard when they are in their teens? If the daughter likes to be chauffeur to and fro, that will be great. But if the daughter dislike parents ard when they are with frens, the daughter might feel that her parents dun trust her and it will be a disaster.
 
Morning! it's finally friday!

tri_angel & peanut,
I guess is Mt Faber Safra .. but dun see this event on their website for today. Dunnoe my hb's info come from where.
 
Dymples/Lian/Yen,
I also wish I'm one of her daughter. Image 50k cash as wedding pressie. Too bad..
We will save up for the gals but definitely NOT 50k.


Dymples,
J3 is so pretty in her kebaya. All your 3 gals are so sweet. My dad always said now tend is to have girls. They are more attached and filial to parents and can ask for bride price when they are married. For boys, the parents need to make sure they can pay the dowry in order for their son to get a bride.


Kiki,
Dr J Wong has always been popular. Sometime the waiting time can kill.
 
-_-" i'm a cheap bride lei.. worth little.. tink my mum only asked for $1888.. in the end somemore "give back" $888 so i'm ony worth $1000!!! sucks hor..
 
Hehe. Readin ur posts made me laugh leh. Hehehhe. Ali, how come become oni $8? Wahlau... I tot my dowry cheap leh. Im worth $7k. Tt one my mil bargain sumore. Supposed to b $8k. Jialat. Still cannot forget the barganing part. Tsk tsk tsk.

Lucia,
You really tempt mi!

re:dowry
My mum asked for $1888 or $2888 and returned few hundred dollars ... thats my hb's money ... and he was complaining my mum took so much!
And sometimes hb would disturb and tell mi .. U better listen to mi hor ... your mum already sell you to mi.

ali,
Your mum did that means its juz a tradition thing and she didnt meant to SELL her daughter! To my mum, she is SELLING her daughter away.
 
Jo: Should go and see. QUite nice collection , not those very late season collection.

peanut and mommy2nia: my parent did not take any dowry???
 
nut/jo
my mum la.. for being understanding lor. cos every tin is on our own expenses... even the si dian jing $$ was forked out by my hb.. my in laws didnt spend much on our wedding.. the wedding dinner my mum take 10 tables but return all the angbaos to us...
 
Ali,
You cute leh, $8 bride..haha but u definately can fetch much more than that.
Your mum is super understanding.. never take anything for herself.

Peanut,
I am a $500 bride. My mil gave $6888 but my mother took $500. Should have asked my mum to take more that time.
 
Ali,
If that's the case, then you have super doting parents. The $8 is 仪式 only. It's so much better than most of my friends who had a hard time with the dowry and ang bao thingy b/w parents and PIL.

Like that you tell your hubby to listen to you. Your instructions shall be his command. wahaha
 
babyzel,
wow ur mil gave so much.
my mum did not ask for any amt. so mil gave $2888. and my mum took $1000 only. same as Nut.. only worth 1K. haha.
 
wow mummies
had a full lunch @ Marche juz now.. feel like sleeping zzz...

topic is dowry ah.. my 'price' is about the same as tri_angel wor..
cos my elder sis married first so my mum said dowry cannot be more than hers, so my hb gave around $2888 then my mum returned 2k or 888 can't rem.. the funny thing is they wanna look nice so I purposely went to the bank to change $1000 note and prepare the angpao with the 聘金wordings..
a bit like 被卖了还在帮忙算钱hor..
 
Triangel,
I think because it's the first wedding for the family and my hb is the eldest. Actually they quite generous lah but my mum not selling daughter so take a bit yi shi yi shi.
 
nut,
ya lor. yi shi yi shi only. my mum even returned the 6 tables angbow to us to settle the dinner bill. i think our mummies are GREAT! right?

lilian,
5 in 1 booster jab.
I have not bring Trella for the jab yet.
 
I thought the jewellarys, tables etcc... is part of dowry. Anyway, me did not get too involves in it. Just choose the jewel i like.
 
Dr Wong
Nut, miss her? Go get pregnant again then can see her every month lor.. wakaka..

I signed up her package at week 12 around $1k plus.. she upgraded her ultrasound machine, u can listen to/see feutus's heartbeat on the screen so ultrasound cost also increased.

My friend went to her the other day, her first consultation costs $108 now..
 
ali
u here? I checked the coccoro price with cheong choon liao, promotion price $330, lowest in fact.. all colours available.. but my hb wanna buy 'basket' car seat so maybe not getting..
 
Dymples: Ur gals so pretty.. i also like girls can dress them up..

price: wa.. say like we are sold like that.. me also my HB give 3888 but my mom took 1000. The hongbaos for the wedding dinner for the "nu fang" my mom never take.. seems we are like sold.. so ke lian.. sob sob

jab for 5 in 1: my son haven take yet le.. today supposed to take but he got running nose.. so i didn bring him.. delaying will have any problems? worried..
 
dymples: wow i didn know u have 3 daughters.. my mom says if got 3 daughters in a row.. that means either u or ur husband the career will be very successful.. so daughters bring good luck!

my sis gynae is the famous DR ANN TAN at mt elizabeth, heard she got 3 daughters.. see she so famous and RICH!
