can feel the muscles stretch n tone a bit..
but must have determination to practise at home..
also i think got kaki go together makes a diff lah..
like got ppl to encourage..
feel more motivated..

 

[jo23]

ya but hard to find ppl with same interest, live near and at the same time can make it on the same timing. Hai..

Hi gals,

My wedding is next month 24 March but abit headache as still don't know how much angbao money to give sisters and brothers as we are on tight budget and my mother will be giving them $18ea and sister-in law will be giving $8ea so how much should i give??

 

[sunshin85]

hi karing,
how about 10 each?

 

[jo23]

karing: being sister for my friends a couple of time, i dun get ang bao from my friend since we really meant to help out, with or without doesnt matter. Plus ah yi get ang bao from gate crashing liao. But my friend does give me in e form of gift. Perhaps u can give gift to ur sisters?
As for brothers, those who drive and use their car as ah yi car, can give abit more to help on their petrol? like $28? or $38?

So far, i only get ang bao from both side parents. Hope this info help.

 

[karing]

Hi all,

Frankly speaking i also be my friend's jiemei
around 4times none of them give angbao to me only from both side parent and i helping them from my heart not for money so i thinking to give jiemei $12 and xiongdis $18 as jiemei still got gate crashing money so you all think ok or too less.

 

[jo23]

karing: i tink its ok since there are still gate crashing ang bao for the sisters.

 

[sunshin85]

hi karing,
i just also be my friend jie mei, she gave $8 for angbao.i think 12 and 18 is ok...

 

[jengcc]

i think small amt ok lah..
jus like token..
or give like 8/12 then after whole thing u give treat lor..
but i think for the main driver aka drive bridal car if is xiong di maybe u wanna give a bigger amt..
i think from both sides of family also must giove them ang bao..
so plus here add there also have 50-80 ba

 

[purpleclouds]

Jo & JL: i'm with bliss bridal..

Happy Valentine's Day!!

 

[jengcc]

hi ladies..
how's V-day?
the gift for hubby came in time!!
but silly me forget to bring home *smacks head*

 

[jo23]

alamak.. nvm got homecook food to make up for it!

 

[jo23]

ladies, allow me to complain here.

I have 3 gd gfs from sec. Out of the 4 of us, 1 m the 3rd one getting married. One of them got married in 2005 (A) and the other one in 2006 (B)and (D) who is currently attached.
When A got married, all the 3 of us were her jiemeis to help out. When B got married, A was pregnant thus not able to help so left me to help her as she din ask D for help cos she wasnt very close to her.
My AD is tis yr and only D will be helping me cos A who will be giving birth in Jun, said better dun count her in cos she got a child to handle. B said dun count her too cos she might get pregnant.
I cant help but feel that they just finding excuses not to help. I got 3 of my poly friends as my jie mei. One of them who is also married, pregnant now and will be giving birth in May. She is willing to help out too why not A? I find it that since u can be a working mum, i dun see why cant be my jie mei. As for B, i got no comments on it since she wan to use that as a reason not to help.
My friend circle isnt big so quite limited of friends able to be my jie mei. Hai.. i feel disappointed in them lor.. HB feel that they just wan me to help them but not via versa..

 

[jengcc]

*aiyo*
don take it to heart lah..
thru such things u c the true colours of some so-called frens..
i been there and kenna b4 too..
sad to say no one is obligated to help..
for A i can understand cos sometimes is "pan tang" thingy and also most prob she would have jus got out from 3 mths confinement..
as for B.. think such fren don want also ok..
don be sad..
u have all of us here *hugs*
maybe u bored at home next time can pop over my place..
yak or bake also ok..
provided u don mind my tiny little hse

 

[blurblur40]

jl&kk

ur so cute kekeke.. i agreed Jo
Dont take it too hard .. it is best to know that who is ur good fren now.. dont be sad..
I am somehow facing the same issue as u ... i guess gers love to gossipe a lot (relax cheer up)
