That's true.

Tried calling you in hcm but couldn't get thru.

I like the Chat Chat card because I can top up online and also I use the speed dial and callback functions, meaning that i don't even incur local rates as its considered a local incoming call (which is free for my M1 plan)

But I'm looking into that for my gf when she's here so that she can call her friends and families without much problem.

I have the same problem with my SingTel account. For now I am using Sunpage ICC. S$8 for S$10 value. 120 mins for calls HCMC. I have been monitoring that its costing less than S$0.10 a min anytime. Seems to work just fine as an interim measure.

Need some help from you guys who've been in VN for some time.

Didi anyone throw a wedding banquet in VN before? My gf & I are planning to get married later this year and might be throwing a wedding banquet in her hometown. I'll like to know what to expect financially as well as physically. We're planning to have our marriage registered in Singapore first and then to her hometown for the banquet.

Please kindly advise. I welcome any constructive comments.

Thank you.

Found it! Thanks Bro! It was indeed mentioned before by Bro SingViet. But that was in 2004 when he got married.

I wonder what will be the cost nowadays......

Thanks, Bro. That's definitely true and I have told my gf that I'll not be holding any wedding dinner in SIN but only a buffet lunch/dinner during the ROM. I'm very scared of long-drawn events like wedding dinner which I feels that the married couple does not really enjoy it thought paying for it. I would rather use the $$$ for our honeymoon and my gf agreed.

I'm not sure if my gf's parents would want a wedding to be held in their hometown but I'm prepared for that for my gf's sake.

Bro

I just marry my wife last yr, my total cost is just 3k . 20k is rubbish.
