Yea just gip angpau whatever you think is fair

todi

It's best U gip them a dozen of condom . Now economy bad , have baby to fast ... pok kai too fast . U gip them kondom ... very 1 Malaysia

Yes.... except instead of angpao you need to wrap the money in banana leaves

give ang pao

Gifts are not appreciated nowadays. Give them RM101 in an angpow packet.

Regards.

wats d significance of 101?

gift la.......
only chinese is so insincere & giv money.
show som sincerity dude.

cainis giv cash bcoz wanna help em cover cost of wedding dinner

that's y, cainis mentality, all money money money.......
wedding also wan untung.

learn from those malays, indians la.
their wedding is just simple, invite all people, doesn't matter rich or poor, frens, neighbors, or frens of frens.
got gift thank u very much, no giv, also masuk makan je la.

+1......extra money they go use for honeymoon.. Etc...

huh wat talk u?

not all cainis mentaliti duitan, not all indian=gangster, not all malay=rempit

and cainis go cainis wedding give angpao to help newly weds pay off their wedding dinner costs (y is this mentality duitan baffles me. cash is king if u havent heard)

i also didnt know cainis organize wedding dinner only invite rich pipu - if like that better dont invite relatives

and iinm nowadays malay wedding either give cash or/and gifts

and i accept invitation not to go makan free - i got more face reputation n dignity than that. i go to mingle n show respect for being invited.

#racistspotted

early morning alrdy vroom2. kanina.

ang pau is universally accepted no... ?

dafuq ur siggy

not being racist.
i'm just not hepi wit the culture of, "dunno what to get, giv money only la".
giving just angpau shows that u dun even wanna think what to buy, not sincere.

speaking of culture, do u know in malay wedding, they dont prefer ang pau?
if u hav to giv money, do it secretly, dun let others see.

Angpau with RM4, 8, 18, 24, 36, 77, 360.

No hidden meaning.

MALAY WEEDING = Groom have to pay everything, most of them not really sincere to purchase a wife from bride family..some of them end up with loan bank.Wife not really want to help them....but i don't understand, why still want to married this kind of woman?, feel insecure?

it's just cultural la.
same goes wit chinese wedding, mostly bear by groom side.
different is usually is parents pay.
on the other side of the culture, indians, bride side giv dowry.

If wear condom then gang 04 will not have enuf recruit in d future yo.. A lot of their member mati

for cainis weddings, usually ppl give money bcoz cash is king - can help newly weds cover costs etc (and most of the time newly weds also prefer the cash, if they are out to make a profit to cover honeymoon then thats their problem la y u bother and usually cainis weddings cost a bomb so unlikely can cover costs - so far i havent been to a cainis wedding that bride/groom mention that the wedding dinner costs successfully covered by guest's angpaos).

buying gifts also does not mean tht thoughts were put into it when purchasing - i can just drop into ikea n purchase the cheapest n ugliest lamp for all i care n what are the newly weds gonna do with an ugly lamp if they dont like it? give away? sell?

just bcoz i prefer to give cash does not mean its not sincere. im not even going there to eat in the first place since im heading off to MPO at 830pm and will only drop by the wedding dinner to show face n respect.

because they dnt want to lose their face....especially girls from kampung...

better to pick high class girl, no need to spend much

usually parents pay?

jeez. can u stop spouting trash? not all cainis men come from well to do families.

My Malay friends told me, it's ok can buy gifts or give angpow.. I prefer to ask the, directly what they want, but usually a lot I give angpow cos if not they will end up with duplicate gifts.. It's a waste..

i'm a cainis myself, seen a lot of frens, relatives wedding.
to my amaze, the truth is, the more u spend on the wedding dinner, the more u actually untung.
som of those had their wedding dinner at 5 starts hotel, their ang pau can cover the whole dinner + profits.

culture dude.......
u go to cainis wedding, ang pau is aright.
any other races, buy gifts.

yup nowadays urban malays also give green packets.

rich or no rich, family sure help out 1 la.
unless parents really no money edi.

wat nonsense u spouting? saturday liao still isap weed?
U need to wake up and see the world..not ur kampung surrounding

maybe they got alot of rich friends/relatives who are very generous (and if u claim to be cainis, u of all races should know that cainis vry kiamsiap - ps im also cinapek). even my uncle's wedding dinner couldnt cover the costs. good enough can cover 50%.

what kind of nonsense u talking about?
u wanted to marry the girl of ur dream, but dont hav enough money, & ur parents help u out a little.
same goes wit sometimes, parents want their kids to own property so help them pay down payment & let them do the installment.

if ur parents got money also dun wan help u, i'm guess u're not exactly ur parents favorite child.

buy guinness stout

i can brain y being so calculative.
i mean if u wanna do a wedding dinner, u shud hav expected to cover the cost by any means. money u currently hav, loan, credit cards.
not depends on ang pau that u "might" get.

i mean, if really no budget, do a simple wedding la......
not must fancy restaurant, not must invite every1.

u realli tengah isap weed huh..
see ur previous posts...u write rich or no rich also parents help.
If rich parents help wat? if no rich parents help abit i understand..but nt everyone. My cousin marry without his parents help (parents got money). He just organize a normal wedding dinner.
So, come out from ur kampung and see the world. dont generalize ur kampung with the world.

If parents got money but doesnt help doesnt mean nt favorite child. u must have not read about buffet and steve jobs.
Grow up from ur well lahhhh....
If you are capable u when u grow up jadi adult u wont rely on parents money d. unless living on parents home basement

y u so thick ah?

i think depends on your social network. The people that you know. If they are high-income people (people with rm10k salary per mth) then the likelyhood that the cost of wedding can be covered is high. If not usually only covers around 50%++.

Older generations want a high cost wedding because to them wedding is once a life. To them divorce or wedding 2nd time is unlikely to happen.
But current generations is different...so they should cater to their ability and not just want to please the elders.

what kind of weed u smoking dude?

i'm saying, if parents decide to help a bit, what's the problem?
u're saying is not ok for that to happen.

the f#ck u smoking?

angpow is not indian culture, u can bring some gifts where it will be useful in their life / home eg. kitchenwares

u can send averagely expensive items if the person is very close to u

try to fit in wit other people's culture dude.
dun stuck in the cainis world.

go ask any malay, indian frens getting married.
ask them wan present or ang pau.
i guarantee majority will prefer present.

amen.....

som1 who is not stuck in the cainis world & understands other people's culture.

ok im in trouble la. not enough time to hunt for gifts

any suggestions besides kitchenware(im sure evry1 thinkin d same later newly weds got more than 1000pieces of cutlerys etc can open a diner )?

oh well this argument again....chinese and malay wedding receptions....

in the end conclusion is chinese will only invite people that have potential to give them the right amount of ang pau to cover the wedding dinner, poor friends and family members wont be invited....if u r invited and do not give proper amount of ang pau, the bridge and groom will curse u, by saying "karma gonna get u"...

whilst malay does not mind whether u give angpau/gift, just come eat and celebrate the bride and groom...

then u just handover ure desired amount of cash in an envelope .. case settled

give ang pau with RM 1 inside and then take picture, open a thread in /k/ ... WINRAR!!!!!!!!!

like the last user here who went to weddings and pay only RM 5.

WHatever fcuking thing you wanna give just give lah as long as ikhlas...

if I were you, I'd just put RM101 in a nice envelop and give it to the couple- they'll appreciate it more than some random thing they have to cart home at the end of a very long, very tiring day.

The odd number (101) is because the odd number is supposed to be auspicious for us indians

Thats quite a lot for Yindian wedding

Normally my whole family go belasah makan gip RM51

But 1 thing I cant brain, went Cinis wedding & theres a person collecting the gift & writing name with amount given in a register

What they will do if the amount too low? Never talk to you again?

sounds good. i think imma go with ur advice. btw any meaning to 101?

what abt color of envelope? cny angpao packet ok? or just plain white envelope?

btw are there any color pantang for indian wedding?

im going with my gf, just d both of us.

regarding color envelope, any pantang? use cny angpao ok? or plain white envelope(sked bekam perkasa issue)?

will hurt your friendship with them....if really butthurt they will curse you so then when it's ur wedding time, people will also give low ang pau - karma....

it may be 51, 101,201..anything with the odd number behind. it may even be 55 haha.

the odd number as i said is auspicious. not too sure the whole meaning behind it, maybe you can google it up.

A plain white envelope would do!

The amount is up to you la..just put 101 as thats what my family usually gives at least..

I dont mind liao, I invite them for my happy occasion, not cos wanna show off big wedding then expect them to sponsor it

But then, ayam not cinis liao

alrighty. thx a bunch bud!

The dinner is at Bangunan Sapura @ Mines tonight?
