Snoopy Dog> ya lor, actually was deciding between harris & batam view, but my sis told me harris pool more dirty & i've seen a no. of feedback abt harris tat is not so gd, so in the end chose batam view. =)
 
annisan - you tahan the whole class so bodyache is quite natural hehe... me halfway fall out liao cmi...

Alicia - last year i went Harris, the pool is clean and everything was ok, massage is included and it was good... except that there's some miscom abt the bus to Nagoya Shopping Mall and we were pretty upset but then again the lobby manager who was there came to know abt our prob and he arrange for one of the resort staff to personally drive us there =) this pacify us and I believe I will visit them again...
 
xfz: just curious, what did u all do during last nite's lesson? I dun rem anything out of the ordinary that's so siong leh...
 
Thomas - I think its only me that cannot take it yday, maybe cos am tired so coupled with the lesson then too siong for my body to take *weak*... yday alot of punching...
 
hi all! evening deerixp
happy.gif

happy.gif
 
All: mi and sis went to c gold @ poh heng this evening..thinking of getting a few pieces for "meaning" yi si yi si only .. the si dian jin i'll leave it to my bf's mum..
 
moooooooorning all

deeri > So early go see gold liao :P

the si dian jin thing is something that is specific only to teochew if i'm not wrong. Different dialect groups will have different things.

Cantonese give long feng zuo (Dragon-Phoenix bangles).

I dunno hainanese give what, but I'm cantonese =P. but I still dunno what i need to tell my mum to buy. its confusing, cos my wife tot its si dian jin too.
 
Jaq> hahaha! Y do u say tat leh? No smell?

Yest managed to get my flu jab. Whoa! A no. of clinics went out of stock! Luckily the last clinic ard tat area still have, so we went & took it, but we waited for an hr coz a lot of ppl see doc.
 
Darrel> Ya, si dian jin is for teochews. Not sure abt other dialects too! My hubby is teochew, MIL is hainanese, my dad is hakka & my mum is hokkien. Usually is go by dad's dialect de rite? But does it affect or wat if my FIL alr passed away?
 
morning all....

meaning all cantonese will give long feng zuo to their DIL ar? cos my bf also cantonese. but i dont really like gold so was thinking can get other stuff
 
Morning ALL!!

deerixp - actually you not early la, my mum already bought for me liao LOL... hubby side one still waiting for MIL to give the order hehe...

Alicia - Buying of gold also have to depends on the dialect of the bride... if the bride is Teochew, groom side will have to give si dian jin... if bride is Hokkien, rightfully groom only need to give niang dian jin... but let say bride is Hokkien but groom side is Teochew then will depends on groom side how they want to do it...
 
xfz> Wah! Ur mum so fast buy liao ah! Oh.. so u wat dialect, & mind telling wat ur mum bot? My mum ask me & sis wat we 1, den we can go shop ard den she'll buy for us, but we both told her no need jewellery, jus gif ang pow, coz we r more in need of $$ (for banquet) rather than gold. lol...
 
I think there's no hard and fast rule on what to give regardless of the dialect group, end of the day it's all up to individual's comfort level only.
 
my bf’s mum still can ask me wat I want… si dian jin or long feng zhuo… hahahaa… =D
I was thinking of getting a watch instead… at least I will it…

actually nowadays, ppl dun really follow their dialect customary le… they juz take it that si dian jin is part of the pin jin…
 


Alicia - My mum is Teochew but I'm Hokkien (cos follow father) but my mum follow her Teochew style and buy me si dian jin (necklace, a pair of bangles, ring and earrings)... but I agree with Thomas as in at the end of the day its up to the individual....

However, gg back to the tradition, parents will prefer to buy gold cos groom side relatives and elders will so call assume/determine the background of the bride from the amount of gold and jia zhuang they bring over to the groom side... yi si yi si better to buy some gold and bring over (cos also for the 'face' of your parents)...
