Li Ann: A Christmas gathering sounds good. I hope i'll be able to attend though...if i have passed my confinement, i'll bring Preston. Haha...How are you feeling nowadays?


Koko: How are you & baby Jovan?

Lena: It's really more fun (though a bit stressful) to do all the wedding planning yourself. But at the end of the day, it's worth it because your wedding is once-in-a-lifetime...why outsource & PAY for someone else to do it for you? Have fun!!!


Ivy: I also hope you guys can get your new place completed. CNY there sounds good to me too! Haha...

hazuki, jovan has prebiotic from Paedi to smoothen his digestion then evening i will gripe water.. so far so good unless during the day someone else look after him..

cookiefleur - i think mianxian egg is most of the dialect will do. i'm hokkien, my hub is hainanese but i still eat this b4 i leave for groom's place..

Nellie or Huiz - think you 2 can help her better..

welcome cookiefleur ;)

Loveangel- you can buy Ridwind from Gaurdian but INFACOL is a better one which is well-like by moms.. KKH give me Ridwind, it does not help my son at all. i give Gripe water, its helps n he love it.. U can feed directly using the dropper [5ml per time] or put into milk. feed before feeding [this is instruction from KK doctor]

btw if u give gripe water don follow the instruction of 5ml/1teaspoon.. it is too much.. 2-3ml mix with water will be good enough..

Pet - i guess diff baby diff taste bud.. hee

hey Ivy, go to Watson or Guardian at the OTC or shoes section, there's a plaster called Corn Remover or Corn Plaster.. stick that on your corn for few days and u will see that the plaster will pulled the corn out.. i try before.. pretty good. remember to ensure the corn head is out if not it will come back again..

Hi Hui,

welcome to our thread.

I think for those of us who had gone to Hainan Island before should have tried Jiaji Ducks, Wenchang Chickens, Dongshan Goats and Hele Crabs.

We always have gatherings on and off. you can join us if you like.

Xiaofeimei,

Kua actually belongs to the Cantonese custom. It's really up to you whether you want to change into a tea dress/kua. Some brides want to make full use of their WG, they'll wear whole day (cos pay so much already) so it really depends on individual.

As for the big chin deh, I think can't find in SG already. The uncle had already passed away 2 years ago and he had no one to pass his skills to.

Poseidon_gal,

Hainanese has the simplest wedding custom. However, in SG, our traditional customs are mixed with other dialects'.

For my case (I'm also a pure hainanese), my mum requested :
1. Suckling Pig
2. Pin jin
3. Cakes
4. Oranges

Unlike Teochew and Cantonese, there's no Si Dian Jin in our custom but since, your HB is a Teochew, they might want to give you.

Just to add on, changing into a tea dress is a symbolism of hui niang jia. Traditionally, we should go back to our parents' home 3 days after getting married. But this is sort of abolished in our new generation.
The new brides now just change into a tea dress and head back home after serving tea to the in laws. So its like you get married in wedding dress and head home in another outfit.

So the tea dress can be just a dress or KUA which ever suits u.
