today is the last day of 2007!.. it always excite me when new year comes coz i do wish to know wat awaits me in the brand new yr... personally, i juz wish for more luck, prosperity and good health for the coming year and i really do wish for world peace... amiiin...
oh!... as a practice over the past 2yrs, emiliAduka + zamAni + BaiNaz will go for dinner followed by karaoke session past midnite to celebrate the new year together.. however, due to the arrival of zamAni's first bundle of joy this yr, we can't do the celebration together.. so now, me and Dearest have got no freakin idea wat to do this new year's eve.. *sigh* B.O.R.I.N.G!
anyways, did u guys read the New Paper over the weekend? there was an article on rising cost of banquet dinner next yr.... aiyoh!!... by next yr, it said a $100 hongbao is not enough to cover the cost of the dinner... hmmmm..... i have gotten into a debate over this with some friends... i dun see why couples have to fret over whether the hongbao is enough to cover the banquet. You chose to have a banquet at some high-class hotel. I dun think u should expect some form of return from the attendees. It's like me attending your wedding just to buy myself a $100++ dinner!...
i dun think it's fair on us attendees. As a couple, i would prefer if the hongbao came with sincerity (in any amt) and your well-wishes for our happy, blissful future as husband and wife. I wouldn't want a huge hongbao that came with a lot of sighing and complaining (coz i do hear that from a few friends).
hmmm... howell! such is the culture here in SG and i have to make do with it lah.. Hopefully, when the time comes for my few good friends to tie the knot in the not-so-near-future (:p), i'll have more spare moolahs to give a huge hongbao!... hehehhee.... dun worry ah... my hongbao will be a sincere one with blessings from emiliAduka to U!... *muacks!*
to all readers,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!...
May the new year bring you lots of joy, love, wealth and health!
Enjoy the holiday and have a blessed NEW year!!
*muacks!!*
