The Bomb of Happiness
Now it is the red booming season again, and frequently I hear so many friends saying that they are drowning with RED BOMBS…
This is the only one we had this year, how I wish there will be more for us to attend.
Too bad most of our friends age are “over” for marriage by now.
Since we had QQ, we have been enjoying attending all the wedding dinners with her. While most parents would be afraid to bring their kids along, QQ can be quite an angel sitting there with us most of the time, slowly savouring all the dishes as they come by and even participate with us on the “YUM YUM YUMM SENG” session.
Wonder what our dinner would be like if we have another kid arrive?
Just curious, do you all prefer bringing all the kids along when you attend wedding dinner or leave them behind?
me very teruk one…if possible i prefer to go without my angels!! then can yak yak yak la without making sure that they are not dancing on the stage or running away with another “guy”!! haahhaaha
running away with another guy? wah….lagi senang for u to eat by sitting same table with leng chai ler…
Depends. I will not bring her along if I know I got yakki yakki session with my friends… If attending my hubby’s friend’s wedding, I will bring her alone to “yak” with me while daddy can yak his friends..hahaha
but we always attend dinner as couple wor…no chance to leave my gal at home also….
We have to bring them (2 kids) along to wherever we go. No choice mah…
wah…good to hear that, since i know they can be managed
We have to bring Des along not only to wedding dinners but to everywhere we go cos no one to look after her for us ….. *boo hoo hoo*
same here too, Tracy….WAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
If they are included in the weddiing invite, then I’d bring them along, otherwise they will be left behind.
by the time they reach teenagers, i think they would be more glad to stay at home to do their own things oredi?
as for me, it depends.
i will bring the kids if it is the wedding of relatives and leave them with my mum if it is a friend wedding.
CP, so nice yur mum to help out, us, sigh…where got help ler?
wah..qi qi is really good sitting still throughout the dinner. I don’t think mine can sit for that long
Anyway, we haven’t got any red bombs this year. Just 1 last year 
Barb, she too shy to follow the kids around also…
hehe girl is OK, i brought my boy last week…it was hell!!
oh, jaz, really??
Year end really filled with birthdays and weddings and festivals!
$ $ $
For wedding dinner of close friends, I will bring my kids (or at least 1 who is more ‘teng wah’). If not so close friend, actually, maybe I won’t attend… haha..
wah…langsung tak attend ah?? heheh…..good idea also…
Dunno worr…bt next year I definitely have to bring the lil one cos its my sis wedding. Cannot escape…
but close family and relative, we all go in one table…for friends, susah sikit hor…
Wah many people attended these kind of dinner lately… We went to one last Sat too and going to post abt it soon!
cant wait to hear about Darrius
if it’s a family occasion, shern gets to come along. else, he stay at home cos he goes to bed really early, like 8 o clock. also, if we bring him, mommy got to do all the ‘chasin’, daddy will only sit there like kayu.
oh…sleep so early ah?? good also la….
not at this moment… baby too young.. imagine him screaming just as the bride & groom are walking in!! maybe if he’s as good as qiqi, then we bring..
haha Sting, that is double cheer and happiness
I would bring my children if it’s a family wedding, but if it’s a friends wedding I wouldn’t. Luckily for me our oldest is a teenager and she can babysit our toddler whenever we need to go somewhere without the children.
lucky you, Tammy!
I haven’t been to a wedding since my daughter was born. She is now four years old however I imagine I would bring her along.
4 would be easier to manage :p
I will definitely leave at home. Else I will be spending more time chasing him around then enjoying myself.
haha……prob dont let your kid down the chair?
Hi,Chinnee. Qiqi is really well behaved and i definitely will bring my girl whenever I go, no matter to dinner or party.
hehe….yenny, prob we are lucky coz gals are more easier to manage?
i really hope that both my kids well behaved like QQ… but sad to say that they can’t sit still… and i will bring them along if it relative dinner otherwise will leave them at home with mil…
true also…otherwise rugi din get to eat, hehe….
Never once we bring Chloe to attend wedding dinner as MIL can take care her at home. We wish to bring next time but still need to consider the restaurant. Sometimes people smoking heavily might bad for young child. Still prefer attend those held at hotel as people will “seng mok” to smoke outside.
dono whats wrong with ppl nowadays? smoke inside air-con? sigh……
to me, wedding dinners (no matter relatives, colleagues or friends) are a great opportunity to show off the kids, so i will not hesitate to bring them along. never mind having to run around the place, the dragging night and extra money that we have to pack into the angpow for the additional seats
Pek Imm, good to hear that u would want them to tag along. really agree with you also
it used to be a dilemma whether to tag mine along to wedding dinner when the boys were below 3 yrs but now, we’ll try to bring them along since they know how to enjoy food & the atmosphere…..hehehe, spoilt child i know!!
Jaccs, good to include them since wedding/family dinners is supposed to be a family happy occasion
If possible, i will not bring as i want to enjoy all the yummy dishes! LOL…
Bring one ok la, if 2 then hubby have to tag along too!
but both yur gals shud be able to enjoy the food by now, unless they also wanna chase over leng chai?? *hehe*
When Bryan was younger, no. But now that he can eat most things on the menu, yes. It is good to expose them to crowds so that they won’t be katak bawah tempurung.
Shooi, last time i used to bring porridge and baby biscuit to keep QQ occupied…..now with shark fin and fried chicken, so senang liao….
Its nice to bring them along to experience new things (like yumm seng!), new foods, new people. But thats because I hardly attend any wedding invites now since I’m waaaay over the age. Hahaha! I’ve brought my 3 and 5 year old along before and they are manageable, no problem and I still got to eat. Hehe.
nice to have them tagging along with us right?
Depends what the invitation say. Most of the weddings that I have attended so far are family friends, so my parents or in laws have been there. So, my 2 girls go too. If it’s my friends, I tend to leave them behind — I too want to eat in peace.
haha…..train the gals to eat, Irene!
Haha…I would rather NOT bring Tee along. Actually I would rather NOT bring her anywhere. But since we don’t have a babysitter, I am forced to bring her everywhere!
WAH!!!!! *crying*
dont worry, Tee would be good to entertain everyone at the table
Hey u can still attend mine ma. Haha…… but don’t know when la.
*still waiting*….when are u going to invite me???
If I have someone at home to bbsit the kids, I will not bring them along coz bringing them along means having to pay for their share too and it’s not cheap for a chinese wedding dinner! If there’s no one to bbsit the kids, I will either bring them along or my hubby will go alone.
with a small one…at least qiqi still can squeeze into a bb chair..otherwise got to pay liao lor
We always brought the kids. They knew better than to act up with me there.
haha…..u have a pair of good obedient children :p
I have been rejecting & avoiding all red boms since i have Wen Wen.
Recently, I am actively bringing my 2 gals for watever red boms occassions! I had 2 such occassions last month, and next week is my grandmom’s birthday! my 2 gals are quite managable during dinner! phew….
eee…..can reject and avoid one meh?
we will bring Jeriel to all the wedding..nobody to jaga lar…
hw bout granny?
Same like u.. we also hv vy few wedding dinners to attend. On those ‘rare’ occasions, normally jes 1 adult will attend, the other stay home to jaga kids. Unless it’s a family/relative wedding, then all go lah. But so far, it’s not happened yet.
haha…good idea…next time hb jaga anak, i go alone
