DOWRY DAY !

Last Sunday was Winson's so-called 'Dowry-Exchange Day' chinese say 'Lap-Chye' whereby the groom is supposed to present to the bride-to-be family with all the dowry items la.... So early morning me and hubby accompany him to collect the cakes and me like machiam 'mei-por' lei representing the groom side (hehehe), carrying trays of oranges, pork-leg (in cans la of cos), liquor and of cos the 'Ping-Kim' Ang-Pow (iyo winson almost forgotten abt this most impt Ang-Pow when we reached the bride doorstep). Feeling rather excited as this is like refreshing back to my last 20 yrs ago time haha so long liao ..... Lets take a look at the pics I took..(btw bride's mama very young lei, same age as my hubby eldest sister i/o my MIL ! hehe)
