And that kids is why I super glue my ang pow

when are u getting married? i will attend even if u dun invite me

tradition la.....
don't so stingy

Go to those rich ones. Money not an issue. Get ang pow or no also not important.

This one I totally agree. Angpow is nothing more than just a blessing no matter how much money is inside.

But now, like give angpow also got economy liao. My mum's friends said that around 8th month of Chinese calender, angpow should be around RM 80

People now cares a lot about how much money is in the angpow until giving angpow has lost its meaning

May all who comes to your wedding comes empty handed. Maybe say a prayer of blessing. Happy?

y r u complaining?

owai, is this even something to complain about?

just now i go cari uncle google, see some lady complaint in fb saying WTF my wedding in hotel and one ang pow RM50!!!

ya that lady complaining about me

tradition lar

Oh, last time I gave an ang pow on behalf of someone who couldn't make it for the dinner.

Think it was RM5,000 or RM10,000.



Not that the couple needed the money.

dont go lor... siapa suruh miskin... member cina sy pon pergi, tanya harga member lain bagi je la... buat ape kecoh, tak mau pergi jgn pergi ler.. esok hari belanja mkn mamak je

That's because Chinese understand and helps each another when the time for big celebrations. Don't be stingy (kiasu) and so calculative. You can't bring all your money with you into your grave when the time comes for you to leave this cruel world.

U know why? Cause alot ppl no money still want get married ofcus they need those invited people money to cover up the cost. Pretty sohai and pathetic

Well if it's my best fren or someone important to me why not lmao

And you can afford it.

Going rate now is RM200 per head.

LOL, my wedding i skipped wedding dinner already lor, after church and stuff straight fly to europe honeymoon liao. i want blessing not they pay me money to come makan n see me where princess princess dress

Let uncle teach you the art of Taichi.

When you feel like rejecting those invitation (especially when the person is not someone close), just say "Oh crap! I already book on that day! Man you know it's good date, plenty of wedding going on. Really wish I can be there! Anyway, congratulation man! Send me some photo okay?"

I give rm30 only lel

no money dont dinner lor, why dinner then need people come and help..... I no kiasu, i kiasi... i scare later unifi i no money pay after give them angpow.

I wedding dont have wedding dinner cos we both agree is torture to everyone. sign n blessed go honeymoon liao. which is why i didnt burden my friend.

And there you go, hence the angpao giver also have the rights to bitch about it...

Also that's why i'm selective on which wedding i am going.

my friend not rich one..... biasa no money type....... owai.....

i agree. lets start this trend.

dont give ang pao

Everyday we save money but then lose money easy like that when ask for angpow. How to save money if keep need to give big angpow .

Call it whatever you want but not everyone in this world is stingy and calculative. There are people who wanted to help. It's your choice but I know there are some selfish people out there, they could create all sorts of reasons and excuses to make it alright for selfishness.

don't have any friends, works fine for me

Next time, TS will start a thread on why need to give ang pow on CNY.

Yalo so true..... this is y i complaining now hehe...


complaint lar cos i dont spend on not necessary thing... i am orang yang spend wisely....

i know that feel.... and they gonna spread it or talk about it when the topic comes...

Tradition is give for blessing... now got market rate somemore...

yalor me miskin... hard earn money not goyang kaki dapat money u know... dont go cannot.... haiz....

yes alot of people macam ini!!!! somemore earn tim.... sohai... that is why i didnt have wedding dinner... dont wanna kacau people... kawin is sendiri punya pasal, unless they write and put a notice in the wedding dinner stating who give angpow dont join my wedding please go home. like this only is true wedding u invite people come makan or dont mark anyname on angpow. received just say thank you dont go and say yerrrrrrr, honey u see ur cilaka friend give rm30 nia...

walao weh.......

will they jot down name ah?

i should post this earlier so uncle can teach me this... haiz,... red bomb already in my hand adui..... now tol pun naik harga everything naik... must save money for emergency if something happen....

Ukur baju di badan sendiri. Biar kenduri di depan rumah, tapi tak mengharap orang bagi duit. Lol

Next, TS will complain why need gift exchange on christmas?

dont give stupid reason to justify your view. Giving big ang pows on dinner is equivalent to giving bribe when doing in business.

Any more of your reasons and excuses? Go ahead make more... make it sounds alright to be selfish. You know what's going on with your head there.

i didnt attend any gift exchange in my company wahhahahahhaa!!!!!! cos got minimum also they say RM50

LOL, how u know i leng lui or not? bcos no use money for maintenance?

it is a good thing though to think for everyone but most woman would want a grand wedding dinner to show off to their friends. The culture is long outdated and should be phased out long time ago. Japan used to celebrate new year the same date with chinese new year but they have moved away from it and reduced unnecessary burdening culture which explains how they progress so well in a society. Guys in malaysia are too weak and sissy to say no to their newly wed wife for fear of being dump for refusing to held a grand dinner. Such is the pitiful state of our society.

ngeh3, make more also wont give them la... better go donate... eat one time already rm100, people few month no makan with rm100 can eat liao...

tul tu bang, orang zaman sekrg ni kawin pun nk kn orang lain haha >.<

u unable 2 gip n yet scare no face
thn better go 14th floor, rather ranting in here

Look at the one calling stupid up there. Who asked you to give big Ang Pow? Give what you think is reasonable, enough is good already. Who ask you to racing around with the amount? And what kind of narrow mind is that to do with business with people wedding? You just think too much over there.

ngeh3, u probably will shock if i am a leng lui and dont need high maintenance, pity u lar mesti selalu kena with high maintenance, normally land whale or face prob only need high maintenance cos make up and stuff to cover up. natural beauty no need geh.. plus im not from groom side lar.... how to get exempted lol..

give still give but xpuas aty.... dont want la go 14th floor...later face and body bloody ugly...

Give RM50

Nowadays not only wedding. Birthdays also got. Not friends birthday but friend's father or mothers birthday. Summore so fong foo do at 5 star hotel

thn gip RM 8 lor else u say u Christian

i dont give also no body know one ho actually ??

Calculate, calculate, calculate. At the end I'm pretty sure that RM100 is going to stay in the bank account when the time for you to leave this world. Give all kinds of reasons and excuses to make it seems alright for selfishness.

As I said earlier, it's your choice. There is no right or wrong on this matter. If you think it's alright to eat without giving Ang Pow, it's fine. Not that they will kick you ass out!

all these grand events is getting ridiculous....invite until god knows who from some other country lol

just few friends and family, go to lawyer together and sign.enough.

done. no need for all the other bs.

words hold no weight. blessings with cash holds much more . huhue

Give angpow with lottery ticket inside.

If the newly-weds really lucky, they will kena 1st prize.

dont go la. tok kok sing song. got people force u to go?

so much ranting..dont go only la. bising banyak.

yes kena forced. cos bcome ji mui haiz!!!!!

wah i can comfirm u sure not rich cos u spend money like water. good for u when u die also no money to buy kubur or fee to burn ur ashes... kasi reput in longkang only OWAI.....

This post has been edited by HoneyPink: Oct 14 2015, 08:04 PM

True true..

I show u alll a good wedding

sudah berpunya and still kena asked go ji mui... cos she want pretty girl to be her ji mui OWAI....

that wedding ang pow is to cover the wedding dinner...

why not donate the money to the poor people and orphan children instead of go waste on unnecessary nonsense ? The one who is selfish is you who would only care your self image more than anything else. There are so many unfortunate people which for them the small amount of money is life and death them. Many people such as in china depends on measly amount of pay from their hard work to put food on the table so that they could continue to live and hopefully change their fate to better living conditions tomorrow.

then don't go la. no need to bisign banyak banyak. let me guess end of the day after all the pot peh pot peh here you will end up going too.

i believe many ppl here are not strong in their conviction or friendship. if you are convicted and believe in your relationship with you buddy, you give rm10 also ok. but no you rather think badly of the other party and try to decipher what they would perceive you when you give rm10. pada hal they ok only...

tradition?
perception on tradition also is when u are rich, people expect u to gip bigger amount. if not people will complain : eh he so rich oh, how come only rm100.
so u rich one, u gip at least rm500 per invitation ar?

i can always don't go,.. apa susah ??

if malay can taichi la.. chinease can mah?

its chinese tradition and estimate how much is it worth for the dinner, where it is held, etc... for a decent family, it should cost them around RM1k per table, if 10 people allocated to a table then RM100 each... so if 2 of you go then RM200 lor... you will still get people who doesn't pay or pay less, this will be written down in their list, even worse if you give ang pow without name on it, as this will be taken as someone did not pay, the nameless ang pow will be classified as bonus... becareful of karma, what goes around comes around.

Gals like to bising, tokok pandai.

Can.

Still remember my mom give 288 so we 5person is 1k+- .
Then the relative bising say why so little.. (heard nto from them but by other relative).

bkn laki suka tokok more than gals meh?

that's why i don't plan any wedding dinner or invitation

Those afford to do wedding in high class expense way they afford to pay. So u just give watever angpow money u wan..

Those aiming for angpow to cover the wedding expenses. . Good luck n shame on u

haha, traditional mah. XD

chinese very good in calculation de. XD

i didnt held wedding dinner so i wont have karma. i dont like to susah people to come sit and eat and do nothing... sudah pernah try so i know how its feel..... feel terribly bad... sit until my butt also become pancake... and keep eating so boring.... food also biasa biasa sahaja......

Guys tokok for fun, end of the day guys think logically and will give the ang pau because we think with our brains.

Mean while ......

yuh. but if in kampung. u put rm10 ang pau..........

tomorrow whole kampung will know this liao. XD

they expect u come is pay for ur own food and see them wear princess dress and faces.. so means they held this wedding dinner is for face only... not the true meaning of sharing the happy moment....

haha guys tokok for fun, end of the day guys think logically and give, then received another bomb then cabut cepat lariiiiiiii........

he speak right infront of u? thn u say 2 him u very poor n desperate mer?
actually in the end ur own who is the 1 tat want gip little but scare no face thn butt hurt tis n tat

Counter back.. u need angpow money to cover ah??

When your friends invite you to their birthday parties , you don't give them presents ? Afterall, using your logic, they invite you while must you give them presents.

haha,
chinese culture, indeed use ang pau to cover back de. XD

hahahahah

may be youngster can start not to put tables liao. XD

jz a ceremony then ok liao.

seem open tables so mafan.

do honey moon and ceremony.

problem solve. XD



macam western culture. cocktail will do

Walao bloody distanced relatives and they dare to kecoh little.
Ya, They expect us to pay. Bloody retarded logic.

u give them present it can be handmade and no min value set.... afterall u use logic, why go wedding dinner must pay with market price?

well then just go with what you think it's worth while... if you don't go then an ang pow in return as a token appreciation on invitation won't hurt good luck

eh eh this nice one!

who say must?

What a cheapskate

Better don't have friend like u
Mempersiasuikan

Correct . Nobody says its a must. She herself scared malu if she give lower than market rate.

2nd

yalo, so cheapskate.... cos u must be the type spend money like water. plus u still studying if not mistaken....

malu then put more lo. XD



put newspaper also can. XD

put "toll hike" head news. XD

my friend say must lor..... owai,....

a chinese wedding dinner is supposedly a ceremony to show to ur frens and relative that u are married, who is ur wife. It's just like a stage for u to tell ur frens and family, hey guys, she is my wife, we baru marry.

So in return, those that attend usually help back the bride la, financially. U think cheap kah mau do wedding dinner. Those that attend is the bride's fren and family ma. So u help me, I help u la.

Bride treat u as his relative or fren, baru invite u go. So u help him back and repay little for the dinner lo. it's common courtesy for a chinese wedding dinner. Up to u how much u wanna pay.

just from the bride's pov, this dinner is to let my frens and relative noe that I have married this gal.

from the guest's pov, ok la, the bride respect me as his frens/family, appreciate his effort to invite me, hence help with the dinner bill lo.
