[vin]

HI Kare and gal,

Anyone of you will going with Shook tml??

 

[abrinas]

Just read a joke:

A woman n a man are involved in a car accident; it's a bad one.
Both their cars r totally demolished but amazingly neither of them were hurt.
After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So u r a man. Tt's interesting. I m a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we r unhurt. This must be a sign fm above and we shd meet n be friends n live tog in peace for the rest of our days ."
Flattered, the man replied ," O yes, i agree w u completely!" "This must be a sign frm the heavens!" the woman continued," "and look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. surely the heavens want us to drink this wine n celebrate our good fortune." Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his haed in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle n then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle n immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man. The man asks," Aren't u having any?"
The woman replies ,"No. I think I'll just wait for the police.."

The moral of this story: Women r smarter than men.

 

[christmas]

Hi Naturally,

My PS is 22 dec in my own house. Not in t-shirt & bermudas lah. In my own gown. Hopefully can do a bath tub one too

with soap bubbles and all.

My photographer says photos are available in a day. No need to wait. So might as well do it closer to wedding date. The photos from the morning tea ceremony is also viewable that same night.

 

[pucca]

abrinas,
i duno when i will be picking up my gown leh .. i must jot down tis qn to ask my co-ordinator on my nx trip to the bridal shop ..

 

[maya]

Hi Jazz, tks. I'm choosing 17 Jul. 19 Jul, my brother will have to hide from me!!

Yes, ladies, I will go ahead and postpone. Still uncomfortable but a decision has to be made......hope it's the rite one

Jazz, why didn't you opt to postpone if the hotel allows?

 

[naturally]

ooh lala! Bath tub... christmas, i presume u dun wear your gown to the bath tub, eh?

Your PS is quite special!

Oreo,
okie, since u have faith in your photographer, then no worries, just leave it to the hands of a professional!

He/she will prob know the good spots for photography better than we do! Just relax, alright? Your main job is to smile and be a radiant bride!!

I know lah, we all can't help but want things to be perfect, i admit i'm also like that, and in the process make myself upset when i can't have things exactly my way... but i think again, hey, wat am i doing?? There's no need to micro-manage everything, so long as the end result is okie, my groom is happy, then i'll also be happy lor!

Have a good weekend gals!

 

[besse]

Meow

Oops.. what happened? how did you break the nails? seen doc? don worry lar, worse case do a acrylic nail extension lor.. still long before Nov!

DK,

I almost signed with Panpac too.. the ball room is v nice, and spacious, and i esp love the wedding favours - the pair of cuttttttteeee bears.. but they don't have weekend dates avail anymore, and the Fri cost almost as much as my Fullerton, so decided to cut down on guest lists and go to Fullerton..

[cin]

Hi Pucca,

Can share with me your photos? My email is [email protected]

Still waiting to collect mine...

My hotel must guarantee 35 tables... now just worried cannot fill 35...

 

[meow]

Girls, I really have no idea if its gonna be normal as in the (fles)pinkish portion that sticks to the nails. I've heard from colleagues that it won't and i think its not really nice anymore. So sad, me too clumsy liao.

Anyway, thanks for the wishes.

 

[mayday]

May-

great place to share and unwind.

FH had made a call to greymatter today...don't know the story as yet. I will find out tonight.

Will be meeting up Monica Lee this weekend (listed by Singapore Brides).

Our make-up artist had made a few call for us- for photo shoot. One photographer has offered to take it for us for$600..but don't know what is included.

Will keep you guys updated.

It will be at four season.

At the travel show, there were a lot of offer to Bali. I think they were offering $375 4D3N at Hardrock + ticket. I have not been to Bali. It seem pretty safe...at least it is not one of the hotspot for SARS. Checkout the Bali forum. When are you getting marry?

 

[mayday]

May- Typo errror, not Monica Lee, should be Mabel Lee.

 

[shook]

Hihi Sue
Thx for helping us to check on wine.
Y do u wanna postpone your honeymoon to NZ? NZ is not a SARs infected area wat.

Hihi May
If u wanna go to a further place, then go Korea, otherwise Bali. C your hubby prefers which 1 lor.

 

[stockholm]

Hi ladies,

Another May bride here. Mine is on the 18 May.
We have decided not to postpone our wedding dinner as well. However as a safeguard measure, we have reduced by a few tables, inviting only those we are close with. Hopefully, the SARS outbreak will be contained by end of April.

 

[are]

hi all... sorrie... been missing.

leo29... ya, v busi now as reno has started, i'm stuck with project and can't log on during work anymore. someone complained to our director and i got a warning as our seating is very open lor... sianzz... working @ such a lousy pl. :/ u muz take care k> i heard air travel a bit risky now... but prevention is the best lor. dun ai shui, muz wear mask! ;P

hv u tried gowns at your bridal? they shd be able to advise u from there which designs suit you...

meow... did you see a doc? my mum also hv v bad nails and the doc says its a fungus growth. not very serious but makes her nails 'separate' from the flesh lor, so gotta apply med else she make break her nails anytime. it may be alright once you find the right cure.

pris... congrats again. its so exciting to hear abt your lil BB! ;P sigh... i oso wish to be like you, oso always wish to be young mum, but can't afford now so gotta plan lor... but then again, there's always accident ya? hehehe... hubby will faint if hear this... ;P

 

[enya]

i think i will choose esplanade and sentosa then ... in fact i think after esplanade, i probably start sweating and fainted liaoz ... no more energy for 2nd round .. ahahahahaha oh yes, and the fountains at millenia walk is pretty popular too

 

[priscilla]

Hi Shirylnn,
You have not tell me why you want my package details for what?

Hi Meow,
Hope everything is fine, better go see doctor or else get infection, better to take care huh.

Hi Min,
I not going down this Saturday that is tomorrow for my WG fitting, change to this Tuesday cos the tailor can't finish my WG on time and only on Tuesday then can produce the WG, so I will be doing my trial make up and fitting this coming Tuesday. Will take some photos for all to see.

Hi Gals,
Any good suggestion to take outdoor shooting cos these few days raining so looking for some place with shelter scare on that day if rain then can go other place to take photo instead of taking it at Fullerton.

Hi Are,
No worries, can try too if you really want a BB but its better not cos later wedding all must bring forward like mine, so rushing....now I every week sure got appointment to meet up all my co-ordinator or bridal shop and see my gyne and must buy things too and some more I now pregnant even worse more tiring.

 

[sue]

Hi Vin: You've 1000 over for actual day. That's a lot, does that include both S'pore & M'sia one? Yah, better bring out to share share. I'm so tired scanning the sample prints for FH to see. Got 37 pages!

Hi Mayday: When is yr wedding? I've booked KC from Greymatters for two days, 17 & 25 May so if your wedding is one of the two, he won't be able to do yours.

Hi Shook: No problem. My friend has not revert, will call him to find out if he can help tomorrow. I wanna postpone not because of the destination but more worried abt stepping into the airport & being enclosed in the plane for several hours. In Today paper, it states that if no vaccine is found for SARS, in two years time, 80% of S'pore population will be infected! That sounds scary.

 

[cin]

Hi Pucca,

Thanks for sharing your pics with me. Love your outdoor pics, especiallly the first black & white one where you are standing in the corridor... so stylish... and the fourth pic, the one with the sunset..so nice!! where was that location? Btw, which studio you with?

 

[feb]

Hi Meow

What happen...Like the rest of the girls say, is better to see a doctor or it will get infection. However still can get a nail extension lor if you want to look nice nice.

 

[jan2003]

Hi all,

Sue: keep us updated on the wine yeah. as for the piece of news on 80% of singapore being infected, i think it's not surprising. in the end, this sars might just be like any other illnes like chickenpox or measles. if you get it, you will have to recover except for those body not so strong ones who will die because of it. maybe it's because it is not common but there are still people dying from measles. anyway, like all of you, i hope things get under control and all of life can get back to almost normal except maybe we have to be more mindful of hygiene.

Stockholm: welcome. same as you. i am trying to reduce number instead of increasing.

May: discuss with hubby. see which one you both prefer. but frankly i feel almost all countries will have sars. it's a matter of whether it's reported or detected or not. now even japan also got hit. i so sick and tired of hearing about sars already. can really bring my mood down....

All: just want to share with all of you a little incident which caused me a little upset. a question i think all of us will have to anwser when we invite people to our wedding. i thought i was prepared for it but when it was asked, i still felt a little agitated. invited this collegue but her first question was "how? you mean you still going to carrying out the dinner? how can?" i told her "yes, life still have to go on." i can understand her reaction. it's jus that there were no words of congrats at all. and i really don't know, if it's as what papers have reported, that there is no vaccine and expect to still have infected people increased or dead, then how long do everyone expect us to defer our wedding??? really puzzled. i look forward to my big day because i have waited so long for it. sars or no sars, i still want to be with my FH. that's the whole point of getting married. for what we know, we may catch it too. if so unlucky then what happens? life still goes on, we will have to try our best to recover. if not, then of course it's too bad but i still won't regret getting married.

 

[may day]

Hi Sue, FH spoke to him yesterday for 1-2 second. KC is not in town.At the moment I only know he is available for my wedding, however I do not know his packages. If you can tell me about his paskages, that will be great.

Jan2003- I understand what you going thru. The worst part of it, when there is one group that believe we have to be socially responsible and there is another group that believe in the get on with life line....somehow we are squashed in between. There is no PC way of handling it. As one of my friend said, don't forget it is our right to get up-set too and I can wait to get marry and get on with life. For those who not going too bad.

 

[meow]

Feb,
Yeah, maybe need to go for nail extension if it doesn't grow to the desire lenth. How are you? Long time didn't hear from you too. What you busy with now?

 

[besse]

Wah.. this thread coming alive again!!

Leo29, hmm, yeah, do buy a dozen of masks and put it on when you go travelling since your job is so mobile!! take care ya, and pop Vit C!! Wat model handphone you buying!? hehe.. the new Nokia??

Yeah, me gown confirmed liaoz.. taken measurement on Monday and 1st fit on 9 May. quite fast, now oni 6.5 more months to go before wedding.. u muz do homework lar, flip thru maggies and get some general ideas wat you like, eg, style (bustie? Spagg? Empire?) and the neckline and the skirt.. Then try on the diff kinda detailed gowns and det wat suits you best!

[cookiecorgi]

[leo29]

Are,

Your colleague very bad lei, Xiao Ren. Must go and pray Hu Ye and beat this Xiao Ren, hahaha…... Me very bad lei.

Ya, I tried some gown when I visit them the first time. But you know lah, those trying are for the sake of trying only. Will try on some again next wed to see what type of gown really suit me.

Besse,

Ya….., the new model. Cheap……, $398 only. This offer is for the plan I have. Last nite play with the phone until one plus. Many new option to explore. Actually I have ideas of what WG/EG I want. But you know lah, sometimes we girls are very kiasu, always want the best out of it. Me just being the kiasu type,

.

How is your MJ last nite? Got win or not? Even yes also don’t dare to tell right, you need to treat me lei. Just Joking!

Girls,

Don’t worry for Meow, i think not infection lah, it’s in the stage of recovering so nail break or drop off is quite common.

Me going to House of Entiquette later. Hope can find a kua that suit me so I don't have to worry tea dress anymore.

 

[kk]

Hi Gals,

It has been a long time since i last dropped a msg here

Glad to know so many oct brides-to-be

Btw, do u all have any idea where to get reasonably-priced and great variety guo da li stuff?

 

[oreo]

Hi Naturally,

Yah, why makes our life difficult? We suppposed to feel happy and enjoy every moment rite? kekekee...

Hi Enya,

Ya. Me too. Sentosa and Esplanade. More or less confirmed liao. My PS next month, if i hesitate somemore, really dunno where to go.. hahaa... oh, u going to esplanade for ps first? And catch evening scenes at sentosa?

Yah, millenia work fountains very beautiful

I saw pictures taken over there before and all pretty nice

i guess another nice place to capture this kind of scene is suntec city

Gals,

btw, do u all know where we can get good and reasonably priced guo da li stuff?

 

[meow]

Besse,
My PS on 20th Jun. Thanks for reminding me. I forgot all about it already. Hopefully by then it grew.

Yeah, i dun think its infection. Jus that the nails are very weak now. Now jus use plaster as protection so that it wont break the whole nail. Its half broke, the other half still with intact on my flesh.

 

[dk]

Meow,
I must have been very painful from the way U describe it. I came across a health magazine that said daily consumption of Milk & Yogult can actually help in the growth of healtier nails not only bones. Maybe u can consider that.

 

[cat]

Hi Shook-Ok no problem, I will let you know my RSVP response. Am crossing my fingers now!

Hi MayDay-wow... very soon liao. How's all your preparation? Done!

Hi Jazz-If they are not comfortable, then better postpone. Hey, I also engaged Sandy for my ROM, she's quite good, her make-up is very natural.

Hi Jan-Agree with you, whether sars or no sars, we still have to get married and life still have to go on. We all have been looing forward to our Big Day and all the preparations done so far.
In fact me and my FH have decided that we should be straight forward when doing RSVP. Asked friends and relatives whether they really feel comfortable abt attending our wedding dinner, if they think that because of this SARS thing and do not want to come, it's fine with us. They have to be honest lor!
Can understand how you feel when that colleague of urs asked such question. Take it easy, don't get agitated. I am sure there are still some understanding friends which will attend our dinner. Cheer up! Remember we want to be "Mei Mei' bride!

 

[hf]

hi, everyone.. too busy with work to post...


Stressed

i have only done no. 4 (but not completed yet), so you r 'normal'. when is ur wedding? mine 26 Oct..

cookicorgi

ai yoh, u so so so slim, dun have to slim down lah... you make me so guilty, i double your size and still have not done anything yet...

 

[meow]

Thanks DK,
Ok, i'll start drinking my Anlene milk again.

 

[chensing]

hi jus,

yup i'm indonesian... but lived here all my life lah....

hey, just wanted to check with you, are you planning to rent your veil/tiara from ted collection? have you seen the hair accessories? nice or not ?

i'm still thinking whether i want to wear a tiara.....might have to wear so that the veil doesn't "stick" to the face. cos with the tiara, the veil will be kinda lifted rite ?

i'm thinking i might want to wear a cathedral veil but i don't know whether it will go with my gown.... and don't know whether it's available at ted collection. i doubt so though, they probably only have the elbow length veils yah ?

i guess can only make the decision after i've seen the gown......

 

[amerline]

hi cookie,

can u send me the quotes for the actual day photographers too? All the ones I seen all SUPER expensive, sigh... email [email protected]

 

[sue]

Hi May & Shook: I'm really sorry. Have bad news for you. My friend said that he won't be able to order the wine. What he did previously was to add my order to his restaurant's order. As business is slowing down, he might not be placing another order @ the end of this month therefore, he won't be able to help. Very very sorry abt that, shld have informed you gals earlier then can order together.

Hi May Day: I booked KC last July so I'm not sure if there's any change in his price. I'm paying him $1200 for the package and add another $150 more for him to go M'sia with me. The package has 400 photos, 1 CD rom of all shots, & 1 photo book. Can't recall what else.

Hi Jan & Cat: Agree.....Life still goes on. I just hope the guests will be honest with us & tell us that they won't be attending the wedding becos of SARS. They are some pple who wants face & said that they will attend but in the end never turn up. So far, most of my friends & colleagues told me that they will be attending. Therefore, if you are just inviting close friends (the really close ones), shldn't be a prob.

 

[may day]

Thanks Sue.


We are in the mist of writing out a letter/email to our guests to really be sure about accepting the invite. Would hate to think everyone say yes, not turn up on the day. Even the closest friend may be pressurise by their family in not coming. Three week ago whe we did our informal poll to our guest....her parents overheard the conversation and tell her not to come. Agreed- life still goes on.

 

[dk]

Most welcome, Meow.

 

[priscilla]

Hi Besse,
Thanks for your concern, hee hee my parents and elder sister keep asking me to stay at home but I never listen to them and keep running about.
Quite worry about the SARS but no choice cos me need to settle my wedding things so really need to go out.
About the outdoor shooting, you suggest Changi Airport, where dare to go where there is the place with quite alot of SARS...so scary..!
I was thinking of going to some where good for taking sunset secenary, any suggestion? heee he me quite picky hoh!

 

[enya]

i think i will go esplanade first, then sentosa ... so that can catch the sunset at sentosa ...

labrador park .. think we will give a miss, cos like what u all said, just rocks and some trees .. forget it. sentosa has trees and beaches .. what else is there?

fountains at millenia are nice .. will be going there on my actual day

cos its near where i will be having my wedding dinner anyway ...

 

[cookiecorgi]

Hi Amerline, sent... chk it out.
