mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks Mrspiglet and F4 for sharing and enlightening me! Hmm ... altho' my in-laws quite traditional but I never recalled having the kids jumping on the bed. I renember the symbolic items like new bath sets, towel sets, bed sheets and clothing. Another thing, I remember is that they got some kids to burst the paper covering a potty bowl and that's about it. Is that part of the 'An Chuan' ritual too? i think urs is part of Guo Da Li right? I haven gone thru mine, my that sounds like the crazy list i saw. In the end settled with just exchge of angbao when that day comes. the rolling bed 添丁, but solely exclusive to boys only. I rembr clearly that i was so fascinated by my uncle's nuptial bed when i was young, my grandparents shouted and sprinted the fastest in probably the entire life to stop me from climbing up my uncle's bed. 重男轻女!! unfair!

So we are happy that reno is more or less settled.. A bit bit rectification on coming sat.. We have more furnitures like study table, book shelf to buy to occupy our study room..

adrian_john 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 kids rolling over bed = give more children. Kids bursting covering of potty bowl = .... i don't want to know... i think urs is part of Guo Da Li right? I haven gone thru mine, my that sounds like the crazy list i saw. In the end settled with just exchge of angbao when that day comes. Stormcontrol & Mrspiglet: From the little that I understood and after checking with my wife, the tiny potty bowl (not the actual toilet bowl) was similar to those we used as kids in the old days. Its symbolically covered with some red cloth/paper with words on it. And the 'procedure' is after the groom fetches the bride home and all the tea ceremonies are over, I think they usually get a kid to burst it. Like the 'An Chuan' thing, its also another supposed 'determinant' of the baby's sex so they usually get a boy to do it. Mine was however, enthusiastically burst by a boy and 2 twin girls ... ahahahahaha! I wonder how that's gonna turn out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

booy 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 My coffee table drama On last Sat, the coffee table was delivered with all the rest of the furnitures, but the colour was incorrect.. we ordered a white one and a black one came.. So we rejected without a second thought... On Mon, S&C called me to ask on the next possible date to re-deliver.. So I told them either after 7pm during weekdays or coming Sat afternoon... They said OK and will inform me again on the date after he check on the schedule.. Yesterday, at around 7.30pm, S&C called me and told me that the delivery guys were already at my door.. BUT no one was at our new home.. And Smartie was at work, so no one could go back home to receive the coffee table.. So they had no choice but to leave with the coffee table.. Today, at around 9+ this morning, S&C called Smartie to inform him that they can either deliver today between 12+ to 1+ or after 7pm tonight.. And Smartie asked them to come in the afternoon.. Guess what, the coffee table reached the lobby of our flat.. BUT the delivery guys accidentally knocked the table against something (dunno what) and the table is now scratched or dented.. So S&C decided to send us another new table on another day.. I have no complaints for their service so far.. But this table is really 多灾多难... It can never sit in our home safely..
