i have a close mate who's getting married a few days later. he has invited us to his ROM solemnisation and dinner at a hotel afterward. the dinner's a simple affair, unlike the usual dour wedding banquet where 10-12 people sit around in a table and try to make pathetic small talk - "so how's work/health/your parrot/?" - whilst eating the usual fare which looks almost strangely identical to the ones you've eaten a few months back at some other banquets, before fucking off right before dessert is served.
anyway. so, do i:
1. go empty-handed but give him a friendly hug and wish him all the best, while muttering "brother, god bless you" under my breath;
2. or give him a red packet because, you know, nothing's free. and how much?
3. or give him a small gift which is the least attractive option because i hate buying gifts - which would ultimately turn out to be some off-colour sex toy?
mucho gracias.

well if it's your best mate, why not all 3? a manly hug, an off-coloured gift and an angpow for the dinner.
for my BFFs, i gave them a teary hug, a photo frame of us and angpow coz i dunno, it's a chinese thing to do?
cheers. why didn't i think of that? i blame it on the reservist.
yeah, apparently the angpow thing has its roots in asian traditions.

hmmmm instead of off color sex toy, why not some good porn to replace that?
how about throwing in a last hommie orgy? hiak hiak.
cheers for the ideas. it's all taken care of.
