drea... yup his dad helping with that... which is such a great relief.. but initially we didn't want to buy house first since my dad got an extra unit that can temperory let us stay but his dad feels its better for us to have our own house right from the start so he volunteer to help us pay lor.. haha maybe he knows his son didn't have enough savings yet since both of us just started working for a year only...
Hmm.. for my case.. I can only give her the no of tables. but have to keep the AB for the tables.. Cos we really cannot afford to pay if we don't keep the AB from her side.
Just this one thing.. Need to carry alot of courage to tell her.. main thing is scared she not happy mah.

Jess, yah I remembered the news. Sometimes it's really coincidence that things happened all at once.... Although your friend's mum does want your friend's organ to be donated, also understandable. Cos her feeling is like losing the daughter forever. But on the other hand, for the donated organs, it can really help the needy.....
Jessica: It is so hard for you now.
Double loss issues. Please take care ok. Life is indeed fragile. Trust in our Lord to give you the necessary strength and energy to pull through this stage ya? *hugs*
Do share with us how things go so we can confide in one another. I can't imagine how it will be quite tough for you to settle wedding plans and then have to cope with these issues too. Take care!

Maybe I should bring out an example to my mum.
I had a friend.. They have almost 70 tables for their wedding. They kept all the ang baos. But still lugi $4k. If they never keep the ang from the Bride's side.. they lugi more..
So.. she should understand nowadays.. having a wedding is not that afforadable.
Otherwise.. they would think like last time so easy. Set up tentage that kind...

any gals doing that??

mine we basically divided the tables according to groom's side and bride's side. Not so much by our parents. But I think we will take everything coz we're paying for everything...i know my mom's side confirm i take. But not sure about my FH's side but should be the same
hihi jane,
just to share how i do my booking....
if you're looking for free and easy package, and wanna go by budget, you can keep a lookout for cheap air tix promotion by the various budget airlines (like Tiger, AirAsi*, Value, Jet)... as and when you see good promos with the flying period you have in mind, you can go ahead to book the air tixs....
as for hotels, you can book the rooms about 1/2 months before you fly....
normally i would book the air tixs and hotels on my own via the various websites.... separately.... as in tixs will be at the budget airlines sites... and hotels at the popular hotel sites....
maybe some of you gals can also share how you do it...
as for shopping and eating... i've only been to taipei last sep.... i stayed in ximending... eating and shopping there was great....
but im sure there are other more exciting areas in taiwan that i've not explored.... anyone who's been there?? can share more??

Anyway I did alot of survey with my friends.
So far... They have asked their parents return the AB back to the bride/ groom lor. Cos nowadays.. it's the bride and groom forking out the money for the wedding instead. Unlike last time, is the in laws..
I think I better talk to my mum tonight and don't drag further le..

good for you elchwong and andrea.. think both our parents want to collect the ang bao so we got no choice lor.. so we settle as that.. take ang bao then settle the tables coz i oso dun have $ to pay for the tables and since they want to take then just do as they please lor..
i believe this should be joyous event and shouldn't be spoil by monetary issue...

Ya, it's really hard to accept the fact that I'm losing this friend forever. In fact we already plan for all our program for 22 & Christmas eve and even up to new year, but now she gone.....
It's really tough for me to cope with all this especially i'm planning for wedding too, not sure whether i should postphone my wedding or not...
Is there anyone looking at catering service for transfer? Put me in the list, mybe have to discuss it with my PIL first.

elch>> My coordinator is Zul. Is yours Zul too?
Mine was quite fast. But they do take a bit of time to get back to you, so you need to keep calling to arrange the appt.
Think M Hotel only has 2 coordinators, Aaron & Zul. So maybe abit difficult to get hold of them.
