Cooldevil:

Cheer Bear:

So who is next on the list?? Yiyi!! its u.. hmm.. enjoy ur preparation. It could be fun!!

 

[littlegirl]

U know wat I heard over the wkend?

Tat time I already told MIL b4, my side nt doing the shu tou, then she acually asked me to do it @ their side.

Then after tat I told her, my fren said cannot cos their side got the ancestors, gods & etc, hw can the bride go over tare & do the shu tou? So she accepted it.

then guess wat nw? She went to ask hb - she said their hse got no ancestors, hw cme I can't do the shu tou @ their side?

I told hb - if she dares to ask me do the shu tou thing again, I sure fan lian one.

 

[tealeaf]

[rainnie]

[skybluegal]

[littlegirl]

Hakida:

[littlegirl]

gals, ask u all hor.

U all giving a small token to the banquet co-ord + waitresses/ waiters or nt?

or r u all buying any gift for ur banquet sales mgr?

 

[skybluegal]

ah ger,
me not buying or giving anything to the hotel pple coz i think they earn from us more than enough liao.. and oso i no $$ to spare for these pple, i rather give my jie mei and xiong xi

btw, my mil oso used to be like that want means want until one day my hb blow up and scold her then now she better liao...

 

[aprlim]

Hi Twinkle,
Ya, this Sunday. Very fast ah. Still got a few things to tie up.

Like songs and guest table arrangement.

 

[littlegirl]

Cheer Bear

tats wat I tot also, bt some gals said they r giving wor, so I ask u gals lor.

they give like $88 to b split among the waitresses/ waiters lor. Then the mgr - separate gift or a small AP, they say small token.

 

[mandy99]

Hi Hi,

my AD photos are not in digital leh, no scanner also..... me same photographer as dabee lor...
but honeymoon photos have lah..

let me load into one of those websites and give u all the information ha....

me went KL lor... next month got schedule to go Sri Lanka some more... sigh.... sian right?

anyone of u have problems with housework ha?
i just can't seem to finish mine leh... wash clothes always rain!!!! so fed up till last weekend i break down and quarrel big time with HB... sigh.. he very poor thing.

 

[rainnie]

Ah ger, we using their service not FOC. We have to pay and some more they dont earn just one or two hundred type loh....might be a few Ks. So why shld we buy or give dem? It is not a must and I think we need not do that. If u think u got extra cash spend it wisely. Either give ur jiemei more $$ or spend those on ur HM!

 

[littlegirl]

Rainnie

I told those gals also, if we pao to those ppl, might as well give the jie meis, xiong dis or the door breaking AP more.

Hw much u all giving ur jie meis/ xiong dis again arh?

 

[rainnie]

yaloh, if that is the case ah ger, dont bao to those hotel staff ;D

errr for my case, will be having abt $50-60 ba plus wrist corsage for my jiemei & a gift from Korea (only given after i come back from HM)

 

[skybluegal]

ah ger,
i totally agree with rainnie... they get paid when they work and when the hotel earn $$ they get bonus and why shld we give them more $$... if i realli got so much $$ i rather go HM or give those helper (receipt asking fren to help) then to give them

 

[littlegirl]

yeah lor.

I also agree w/ u 2, just tat I heard them saying so I c wat r ur comments lor.

 

[skybluegal]

for me, my jie mei will get a bigger ap than those xiong di coz jie mei got the gate crashing $$ mah.. each pax (jie mei) getting ard $50+ then xiong di $30+ bah... and oso wrist corsage for my jie mei... but now i worry my jie mei dont like it then dont want to wear then i die

 

[littlegirl]

Cheer Bear & Rainnie

U 2 2day also jin eng again? So prompt in replies? + me then 3 of us again?

ha ha ha

 

[littlegirl]

Cheer Bear,

I m nt very rich + PILs want us to pay all the APs ourselves

I m thinking for jie meis wil be ard $38 each, excl the gate crashing AP, calculate in ttl they shld hv abt $80 - $90 each. Then xiong dis will hv $50 cos they drv their cars mah.

Then those jie meis who help me only either day or night I m giving $26 (day)/ $28 (night). Is this too little?

 

[rainnie]

hahah!!! Mi ah ....ok lah.....quite eng coz bo mood to work having headache ah

Ah ger dont quite get ur calculation leh....how come 3 pra got $38 each liaoz den last pra still got $26/$28???
U got how many jie meis & not every one helping u thruout the day meh?

If i'm ur jie mei or any ones jie mei I think $$ is not an issue loh. As long as it covers my taxi fare shld be ok lah hahahaha........

 

[skybluegal]

ah ger,
i today free coz my accountant on leave for 5 days since last wk but tml she is back then i die liao..

actualli i went to ask ard liao.. pple told me is my parents and in-law side have to give ap to jie mei and xiong di one and as wedding couple we no need to give but my in-law say tell us to settle the ap ourselves so my hb will bao for the xiong di and i bao for my jie mei lor.. and my parents will bao oso..

same qn as rainnie, y ur jie mei not help u the whole day one meh?? but if it is jus day or night i think $18 can liao unless u think is too little lor..

 

[babysheep22]

Hey excite!

I have seen your photos! You must have had so much fun!! Can understand cos me and my hubby also kena sabo during our wedding dinner!The pix of u and ur hubby are very nice.

 

[littlegirl]

rainnie

I hv 3 jie meis + 2 sis in the daytime. 1 of the jie mei is helping me only in the day. Bt in the evening another fren is helping me @ the recept. Tats y I m giving diff AP lor.

Cheer Bear:
I also know, bt since PILs ask us to bao, then I ask my mum dun give, we will handle everything lor.

Day one I think spend more time w/ me, so AP shld b slightly bigger, while the night one, shld cme to the hotel only ard 6.30, & by 8pm, her job shld b done.

 

[coolgirl76]

Hi ladies
One of my jiemei back out

She is working in sales line and her boss called her just now to inform her that she cannot take leave on 12 dec.... she can only make it to my dinner.

 

[skybluegal]

ah ger,
ur 2 sis is real sis or wat? for me, is getting 2 cousin to be my jie mei for day and at night is the 2 jie mei and 2 fren at the recept so i onli giving the ap to the 2 fren for night.. at night not giving anymore ap to my jie mei liao since day given liao

cooldevil,
i oso not as gd as u.. i never std their dress code then one wearing black and ask her to change then she complaint to her mom and her mom complaint to my mom then my mom ask me y must stdise so ma fan..now become like all my fault

 

[rainnie]

Ah ger, ic...if that is the case u can give that jie mei who will help u in the night $28 or $26 loh.

Cheer Bear, if u getting 2 cousin to be ur jie mei in the day meaning? U dont have to give them ap meh? Still have to give right....to show appreciation. For my case, I'll be having 4 jiemei they helping both day & night...so save trouble give one shot in the morning ;D
