I am pretty sure you want a bloodbath of dead Ah Nehs.

PeterTok run road. Slap by all the bro here. Never come and defend himself.

Aiyah. He shouldn't take it like dat. Disagreeing with one opinion should not be end of the world; everyone has had their share of pokes here.

Cheers!

Third marriage sibo? Need me as driver? Comes with armed bodyguard too.

He should have adopted old Hainanese style where they will open all ang pows at the door and announce the amount and write details on a board. Show offs used to get off on this and cheapos will be weeded out.

Like hanging flowers !

I saw Datuk's GCB the other day. Must por his lumpar liao. He very the rich. His garage boasts cars like Lambo, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, BMW etc. Don't play-play with Datuk.

Boss Datuk, tiok bo?

If your sole purpose in holding a wedding dinner is to profit from it (from ang bao collections), no offense, you are just being a dumb fuck.

A wedding dinner celebration is to let all the relatives, friends and loved ones to witness and celebrate YOUR big day. The amount in ang bao shouldn't be the main issue. Why are so many people so worked up over ang bao amount?

It's a wedding dinner, for goodness sake, not some shares transaction!

I dont understand why u use the word revert.

I am so glad someone finally pointed this. In my email correspondence with many Sinkies (especially civil servants), they always say "I will revert to you". I keep thinking what the fuck do they mean? How can they turn into me? And was I originally them? I didn't know civil servants take existentialist classes...

Of course they meant, "I will respond to you soon" or "I will keep you posted", etc.

Must be some half fucked Perm Sec or Minister who started misusing the word...and all the dogs start lapping along.

 

[LonewolfAlfa]

yah, trying to sound bombastic.

Nothing can be worse than the term Mr X is "outstation" even he's been sent to London or NYC!

Against my wishes , my father invited relatives to my wedding dinner , when 1 family of 3 revert that they cant attend due to "an excuse" I was quietly happy. Then when they found out that my wedding is at marina Sands, they promptly called to inform that they can now attend....sad sad sad as I had been told this is a cheapskate family out to be free loaders all the time.

Came the wedding night , this couple , a Senior Counsel and senior manager SIA wife brought along teenage daughter . My parents were shocked when they opened the red packet on our behalf to find $100 in it. 3 persons attending a wedding dinner at the prestigious Marina Sands having the cheek to place $100 sheepishly into the red packet ! Are they that low class to take advantage of their relatives ?Sure they are aware going to hawker centre for Chi char also more than $100 nowadays, yet they kaka give $100. Suay to have such free loader relatives , still cannot get over this episode of my important day in life.

* Dinner menu included Sharksfin soup and Abalone too.

wah liao..you are the cheapskate host.Invite people still expect them to pay for their meals.

Thank you for all the postings, some are sensible whilst there are also some rubbish . My purpose of posting is to highlight to all bros and sis that there are low class stingy people in this world who just wanted free/cheap meals at the expense of others, of course it will NOT be an issue if they dont give me an ang pow on my invitation ,since we invite without hoping for big ang pows to cover our wedding expenditure. But I am only pissed off with relatives that are well to do who come for a "bargain" , is this the typical kiasu , kiasi & tumsin traits of Singaporeans?

I never expect to profit out of a joyous occasion which is once in a lifetime , but to be met with a cheapskate relative spoils my day . If they did not turn up , I would have been happier BUT their presence with a $100 ang pow for 3 shows they lack manners and respect for their sincere relatives who wanted them to join in the celebrations. I had poorer relatives who came and yet their ang pows are much more than the SC and SIA manager's , anyway , I held another dinner for the poorer relatives who showed their generosity emphasising not to bring any gifts as an appreciation of their presence on my wedding dinner at a restaurant ( Marina Sands again ) to let them enjoy good food without the need to worry about footing the bill.

So dont get me wrong that I am whining because of money to cover my dinner expenses , its simply to warn to be invitees NOT to take advantage of others. Have respect for those who invited them .

 

[khunking]

Peter, maybe you should have been firm about your invited guest list. I'm sure your dad would have respected your decision since it's your hopefully once in a lifetime big day.

 

[streetsmart73]

hi there


1. pete, my advice to you.
2. do likewise when they marry off their teenage daughter.
3. provided you are on their invitation list by then.
