Holiday Plans Fiasco

-
I am sure some of u know that I am planning for my holiday trip. Here are some of the destinations that I am looking at, but mum seems to have objections to whatever places that was suggested between us, be it the place or the flight, making me not interested to go on the trip anymore.

Hanoi /Ho Chih Minh City

Wanted to go there as we have not been there before. However, she objected after hearing that one of her friend's friend died of flu after returming from there in 2 weeks.

Macau

She wanted to go Macau as Tiger Airways is offering $250 ticket per person, and she regrets the fact that she was not able to tour Macau the last time as it was raining when we made our way there from Zhuhai the last time. I haven't taken budget airline before, but the thought of running with your luggage when it rains really scares me, since there is no aerobridge as shelter. My impression of Macau has not been that good. My thinking is the place is full of casinos. If you guys have taken budget airline before, please share your experiences.

HK

I wanted to go there again as I wanted to see Disneyland opened by my idol, Jacky Cheung.

Bintan

I wanted to go there after seeing how Elaine mei enjoyed herself during her visit there. Mum was against it as she said Indonesia had an earthquake not too long ago.

Zhuhai

She said that she wanted to visit one of our distant relatives whom we left out during our last visit.

Sometimes it is so sickening to go on tour with parents. I rather go with my friends.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
