We managed to settle the heng dai problem by last minute sending Apah, my cousin Liz Wong and another friend to go along to pick up the bride! Phew! They left on time and by the time they reached PJ they were like about half an hour early from the scheduled time. (what scheduled time? That brother of mine is so no 8 superstitious, got to adhere to the recommended good time to reach the house..). Therefore they stopped over at Taman Jaya and camwhored waited..
Then before the bridal party arrived, again the no.8 groom asked us to hang up the firecrackers to welcome the arrival of the bridal party..it was not an easy task and it was sooooo loud!! See all the geh pohs (busy body) looking on while my other brother tried to light up the firecrackers. BANG BANG BANG BAK BAK BAK BAK BAK!!!!
Here comes the bride…here comes the bride…n…groom…
The tea ceremony…
See the happy mother in law receiving the tea…
and the bystander observing the ceremony…
Then my son had a very important mission..again more traditional practices that requires a male child to jump onto the bridal bed…meaning..first born to the newly weds will be a boy la…aiya if I knew I should have asked some lil girls to jump on my bed when I got married la..cos Amah wanted girls first ma…hahhaha… Then Kieran had to break open the potty and then was asked to pee in it!!!
He didn’t want to do it at first but changed his mind after being offered another ang pow (red packet containing money)!! See the happy face after receiving his rewards!!
It is again traditional that the groom offer a roasted pig to the bride’s family to show the purity of the bride… and then the bride’s family will chop up the pig and send the head and tail portions back to the groom side, signifying that whatever we do should have a beginning and an ending…

Wow! Kieran must be very happy. Pandai merajuk so can get extra ang pow. Congratulation to your family. Also, why the groom is not in the tux? Is that the trend now? I’m old fashion already.
aiya that groom damn malas one….cincai one lor…
ehon // November 5, 2007 at 4:49 pm
ai cham. i give u the wrong link no wonder u went to my other boring blog.

hahaa..waaa so many blogs geh?
WMD // November 5, 2007 at 5:03 pm
ha ha…reading the above brought back memories. I remember one of my very “8″ aunt was bombarding my mum with all those rules that drove my mum nuts. We only followed the roasted pig bit as we have no bridal room, so all those jumping on bed and potty thing cannot be carried out. Phew.
wah thank God both sides of my family not so pantang..it’s just my brother la! seow or not?
mott // November 5, 2007 at 7:36 pm
wah… i didn’t realise boy jumping on bed was to have male heirs. thot it was just to have children.
but then…….my son jumped..and my fren kena boy wor..so those who just got married, better do this ah…HAHAHAAHAHAHAH
but then also, i didn’t get any boy to jump for me..see la……. i still pengsaning….where is my lil girl????? HAHAHAHAAHAH!
u didn’t get the girls to jump on your bed lor….
Mama BoK // November 5, 2007 at 11:20 pm

some are acceptable but there’re quite a lot like cannot understand one lor…like no logic u know?? hahahaha
twin // November 6, 2007 at 3:14 am
wah this is really traditional practice la. we all didn’t follow cos we r not into this.
yeah even my mom is not into these stuff it’s just my brother lor…so the 8!
SASHA // November 6, 2007 at 9:26 am
the pig with the tail means the girl is a virgin…right?
eh u didnt read the description properly meh? the gift of the whole pig to the bride’s family is to signify her purity (other words virginity la) and then the head n tail returned to the groom’s family signifies in everything we do there must be a beginning (head) and ending (tail).
Mommy to Chumsy // November 6, 2007 at 6:33 pm

To sleep on the bed & pee into the pee pot actually required a ver*gin boy but nowaday some boy go pokeing at early age so a young boy is better! He! He!
