Hi Ladies,

Not meant to interrupt your topic. But when I chance upon the title of this thread, thot I’ll juz post some question which I really need some advice on Angpow.

I juz got married last year.. Wan to find out the following..

1. Heard pple say first year no need to distribute ang pow..is it true?
2. Some also say cousins dat r working and schooling one, no need to give?
3. Married silblings only give 1st year, there after, no need to give?

Thanks Ladies..
 
Hi Tan,

Just chanced upon ur post, well.. I think different dialect got different practices lor.... but just to ans ur qns..

1. 1st year - we hv to give double angbaos.. meaning me & my hb will give each to 1 person.
(the meaning is suang suang dui dui - comes in pair)

2. Basically its up to you, but I still give out angbaos to my schooling cousins, those working full-time, I will give very little monies eg: $6

3. You mean u give ur married siblings ah? then its correct, only give them in ur 1st yr, after that dun nid liao...

unless u wanna picak ur pockets... lor... lol...
 
for my case hor...

1. i did not gif angbaos 2 any1 except my in laws in my 1st year..i was told by my in laws n all my san gu liu po aunties 1st year will b excused...somemore best part is STILL CAN RECEIVE from others kekeke

2. after the 1st yr...i gave 2 cousins who r still single regardless of age tho a few rejected coz they r much older than i m n feel paisay

3. i dun gif angbaos 2 any married persons except my inlaws n parents
 
Hi Tan, my answers to your qns:

1. 1st yr dun need to give. In fact, so long as you haven't gone thru the customary wedding dun need to give. You only start giving the 2nd yr after your customary marriage. So for me, I haven't been giving in the last 4 yrs! Hahaha.. save save save..

2. Up to you, but I dun give my "tong bei" (same generation). So far I have only been giving to "zhang bei" (elders ie parents & in-laws).

3. Up to you too. If you're close, you can give. If you feel that you're poorer than them, then dun give ;) But should give their kids...
 
Thanks alot ladies..

1. Ya, I was also advise by my colleagues that 1st yr no need to give, still can receive. So that case, I'll juz give angpow to my Parent-in-law and parent.

2. Think for cousin who are schooling, I will start giving next yr.. My cousin who are "tong bei" as me also didn't give me liao (before I got married).

3. Last yr was my customary.. So this is the first time I giving Ang pow.. Pocket really burn hole..

Hee hee.. Thank girls.. Happy New Year..
 
Hi eowyn,

My parents still give APs to their own parents now. I've been given APs to my parents since I started work. I think APs given to parents during CNY is not meant to be "ya1 sui4 qian2" but to thank parents for bringing us up.

I think we can receive AP until we have customary....I personally don't intend to give APs until customary even though ROM already.
 
Hi

Think ang pao to parents is ok, ang pao to married siblings...mayb not.

but me TL, those who open mouth & ask for ang pao one, i will consider, re-consider, re-re-consider...
