I had a discussion with some friends the other day, his brother is getting married and of course there will be the ROM, and the wedding dinner. And of course, got wedding dinner means confirm have to give ang bao lor.
And so the question is, how much ang bao to give leh??
Hm...my friend attended his gf's sister's wedding in a foreign country, he told us that there's someone who actually gave the equivalent of S$0.20.
Okie, maybe the country is a bit backward, but the norm is at least S$20, to give S$0.20 is a bit absurb isn't it?
Anyway weddings are supposed to be happy occassions. Hahaha. So money or no money, as long as the guests turn up, it's good enough.
So we moved on to the question of holding weddings in Singapore. And also, how much ang bao to give.
My friend happily said, "S$200 lor."
Me and my other friend: "Wah! I will confirm invite you to my wedding leh!!!"
Hahaha. It's quite funny, because I guess the norm (according to my own definition) is about S$100+++ for good friends, S$80 for okay friends, S$68 for people who only contact me just to go wedding.
So 现实 right! Haha.
Okay lar, perhaps the venue matters. If it's 5-star sure have to give more lor. If lesser stars = lesser ang bao lor. Unless he/she falls into the category of good friends and okay friends lor.
Right now clement is attending yet another wedding. It's his umpteenth wedding this year, too many keep count liao. Hahaha. I guess when you hit the age of your mid-twenties, you suddenly get invited to so many weddings...good friends, ex-classmates, and even colleagues. Clement's been complaining he give ang bao until he's so broke. LOL~ And not to mention all the good, rich food which has been piling on his body. He says he can't fit into his jeans anymore. Too bad and so sad! Hahaha.
I'm glad I didn't have to tag along with him (exams now, haha), if not I don't go broke I will also get fat sia!!
Anyway, back to my will give 200bucks for wedding friend. He later mentioned that his hall friends all say he very neow, (meaning miserly), because they all will give 500 bucks.
Me and my friend: "Wah! Can I get to know your hall friends also??"
Hahaha. I seriously don't think anyone will give 500 bucks for a friend's wedding unless the friend is really really a very good one and you yourself is very very rich. Very expensive still!!
Ah, so we moved on to discuss where to hold weddings so that can afford to pay even if the ang bao is not enough to cover. Haha. Since hotels are impossible to afford without angbao subsidies(about 700 bucks per table standard), my friend suggested country clubs. Haha.
Guess what? To hold a wedding at Orchid Country Club (hey, doesn't that sounds familiar?!) it only takes 500 bucks per table. And it's a Saturday night also.
Much cheaper than hotels. And it comes with a free bridal suite for the night and all that stuffs. Very good deal! Haha.
But of course, my dream wedding? To be held onboard Superstar Virgo. Hahaha. Everytime I go onboard that ship I start dreaming whether one day I can ever find someone who can afford with me to hold a wedding on a ship. Gee. But of course, no can do. Really rich guys will probably not go for a plain-looking me. Really rich guys are polished, ie. they go for polished girls.
I can be polished too! But I prefer to be lok-kok.
That's me. Hahaha.
