phoenix 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 hmmm i mean must carry something for how long then can put down the things?ohh... for the stove thingy carry walk around the hse 1 round, then to the kitchen n put down can liao. and for the other stuff juz walk in straight into the kitchen n put there lor. keke.. no need to carry long long. !!Yes, need to carry something like lots money$$$, new cloths, bank books and for children and for children, carry school bag. Remember dont let any strangers follow you from behind!yes, these are "meaningful" stuff lor. yep, no stangers suppose to kaypo during your moving in day. depends on how pan-tang u are, moving in day procedure should only involved those who are living in the house. when u eat your first meal (the moving in day), it also cannot include other people. coz it is said, like this your wealth will be shared by those at the table. keke..sorry yang guo to tag on your thread.1question, the move-in procedure to be done b4 10am:does this include all your belongings tat's to be move from old place to new b4 10am or just only wat phoenix say above?belongings can complete later in the day??tia.i think belongings u can settle before or after is ok... for us we moved in our belongings a day before the actual move in day. we are not newly weds...so we moved the bed and boxes of clothes etc etc. i think newly weds must still do the 'an chuan' (settle the bed) but i'm not so sure how that is done (me forgot what we did back then liao). i think not necessary to be before 10am. sometimes the fsm (if u engage one) will give u a 'good' timing. but most times early morning is good.
