Hi Wedsoon,
I have previously booked him for 28 Sep and he said me sure will deliver my album before my wedding so i am sure u will also get yours in time for your wedding too so dont have to worry at all. I am now with Memphsis West.
Since u have found your photographer, I am hope you are working w your designer on your gown now. Who is your designer? And any particular design/style? I am waiting anxiously and looking forward to meet him next week to look at the design. Likely to be a bustier ball gown. u?

Shook: my hubby is so lazy. I told him to go check out the wine place near his ofice - he still has not done it. ARghhhh.... So i still got no info for u. But i saw last sat at NTUC that they r selling Lindeman's wine for $13 ++ only..really cheap. I have heard of three thirsty travellers think Star Cellar is selling them for S$ 19. But i never drink b4.
Kare: I m sorri to hear abt your hubby's company. Discuss w him and c if your budget allows u to go somewhere nearby. It appears very likely tat i may b going to Bali for a short honeymoon and the end of the year to some where further. Hubby is very stubborn - and i have given up trying to convince him. But deep down inside me i really dont think we will be able to go for a second honeymoon at the end of the year. I am planning to start a family soon, how to travel when pregnant...SIGH..i also sian...
Jan: So u booked to go Canada? Good for you...how's your preparation? Think it is easier now that your FH is back hor? I have been trying to get hold of one my U friend. Send her email and sms her but no reply. Quite cheese off...i attended her wedding last dec and she knows tat i am getting married soon...dunno is she purposely avoiding me...i just cant stand it...if i cant get hold of her..shld i still send the invite to her house. I happen to have her address from another friend.
Gals, i have finally settled on my actual day photographer...so happy. I have booked Barnabas from Photospace.
I am hoping to cut back 5 tables if the hotel allows. The contract states 30 tables. How shld i tell the hotel, worried that they dont agree. But really want to keep the group small coz everyone is so paranoid lately.
I have an idea, u know how boring it can be for our guests that arrive early to sit around and wait for the dinner to start. I was thinking of playing some MTV videos ...wouldnt that be interesting - got music and you can watch while waiting. The tough part is where to get the videos of nice songs to show??? Any idea?

Meow,
Don't hurt yourself! It's bad for you.When quarrel, think of what he had done for you and his good point, it will cool u down. Tell yourself "you are too much" if you are in the wrong, do give in and said sorry. Last time I used to quarrel with my hubby quite often also. I think it's quite common for young couple. Again, i will said that is a Guo Du Qi to test our relation, must be strong orh.
I was blur by polishing and coating. Which is which? White gold is coating and platinium is polishing? I know Platinium is better but we can see scratches very obviously after sometime. Why like that, the surface coating drop off?

Wen,
It's ok to have different design but all this depend on you. I mean if you don't mind. There is wedding band having same design but gal ring have addition of diamond on it. I think my hubby is the only vain one here where he don't like plain ring. We came across a few lady ring that had pattern and guy ring is plain but he don't like it. End up he got one that had diamond on it, same design as me. At first I told him guy wear diamond look sissy but lucky the one we choose is quite manly, thick. Another word, I have to give in to have a thick ring.

Wen,
Maybe you can try asking them to do it for you free since you only wear it on for 2 weeks.
Actually tarnish isn't the word to use, its only use on silver.
As for the wedding band agree with Shirlynn, that's what i told other couples and see some were doing. Jus try to get something similar like if your is gloss finish, then get his in gloss too but a plain one. Thou its still a plain one, dun ever think of getting a platinium for yourself and a sliver(dun wear it so often so buy cheap one
) for him ok? Anyway, talking about silver, never get diamond set in silver. Its very soft and tarnish that's makes the ring or accessories very cheap lor. Somemore the dia may drop off too. That's why most dia are set in pound gold(20k/850) instead.
Leo29,
Polishing is also know as coating. Both white gold and platinium will be coated on another layer. After that it will be buff till it shines. Get it now?
Scratches for both type is very common. Depends how you take care of it. My ring have more scratches as compare to my hubby one. Maybe i should let you know how its done.
Ok, a prototype of the ring(with design) is made. Then from there, they make a rubber mould(duplicate in future). Once this mould is complete, they pour melted gold(either platinium or yellow gold) in to the mould. After hours, the gold harden and the mould is cut to remove the ring. From there, they will do the polishing/coating onto the ring. If the ring is to be matt finish. It will go throu another process that's sandblasted on to make them matt. If a desire is to be gloss, they'll use tape to cover it before sandblast it. Tada...a ring is complete. Wow! Long story huh?
Matt finish in turn will turn to blur gloss since its only a layer of sandblast(maybe not totally blur but partial). Gloss also will turn blur gloss but not as obvious as matt. So which is better, you decide.
White gold(750/18k) 75% yellow gold + other contents(silver, palladium...) so base colour is yellow. Platinium(PT900/1000), jus use platinium + other contents(palladium...) so base colour is metal so its silver. Not obvious when layer fade off.

Hi Shirlynn, Leo29 n Meow
What about a totally different design? I like Bvl wedding band with diamond going round it but the closest to match is Bvl 3 bands. But the 3 bands ring is very thick and hubby will not like it. So thinking of getting a plain ring for him instead. Even if I choose the same finishing also not very matching, right? Must get something cheaper for him as he had lost his previous ring, the one that we use for ROM. *big headache*

Meow,
Thanks for all the info on white gold & platinum. Very informative!
Tarnish after two weeks of wearing but now more than 6 months already. But will still go back to them and see what they can do for me. If I want to re-set it in platinum, any idea how much will it be? Is it true that it is difficult to set solitaire in platinum? Salesperson told me if I use platinum to set the diamond the way I want, it might fall off, true? My solitaire is 6 claws bending/slant outwards.

Mat,
i used to sell gold in a reputable company. But that's the past but we are thought the basic and fundaments of the products. That's what they call product knowledge and it a form to show your professionalism
Wen,
I disagree with you. A plain and simple ring can match any ring, even the most complicated design. But not to elaborate kind. I believe the bvl set is the diamond set with gold surround it right? Correct me if i'm wrong. You got the design of that ring? Wanna tell/show me so i can give some comments?
As for the setting it into platinium, i disagree again. OK, if you step into a jewellery shop, most of the products with solitaire are in white gold. You dun see much with platinium, maybe 1 in 10 rings. I still find it possible to set it in platinium unless they can't do it. I had my rings(one casual and proposal rings in platinium), one custom made and the other from the showcase. The dia to fall off will depend on the design you choose and their workmanship maybe luck too also how you handle it. During the months there, i did 1 customer bring his ring without dia and some are loose when they bring their items for servicing(wash). We inform them and let them know first before they say we spoilt it.haha
Cost will depends. They have a formulae for it. Will cost about $550-700, if i'm not wrong. Can really gurantee it. Claw setting to me is still the best and beautiful. If its 2 claw, then i say it may drop off. But a 6 claw?? hard lah. Mine 3 claw and the other 4 claw. You can see it from my photos that have my proposal ring in there.

Hi Kare, o dear, things must be tough for your FH. Not sure if pressing to go on honeymoon at this pt is ok at this pt. He probly has bigger things to worry abt and having to spend more money may not be what he wants to do rite now. SO you may want to broach the subject carefully.
heehee, 1027 (your nick has a mysterious feel, like a secret agent!), no prob for the gate crashing, who knows if i will gate crash into the oct thread one day?
Before u go, Oreo, abt your qn on press powder and makeup remover, u can try out the textures and colours at the cosmetics counter, sorry, can't offer much recommendations, cos i'm also looking for the ideal product myself... for makeup remover, can try loreal, cheap and good.

Hiya Paulin!
Wat kind of budget are u looking at? O studio's actual day package (they have a new branch now called W Studio) costs abt $580 for 8 rolls, if i'm not wrong, yew kwang's price is abt the same? I may be taking KC from greymatters at $800 (his cheapest package, if u want bigger size albums, will cost more). Some of the gals here will be taking Sok Eng from berryhappy photography, think her package is abt $1K+. A fren recommended Triston Yeo, who took for Zoe Tay and will be taking for Andrea De Cruz, packages at $1.1K and $1.6K.
U doing up your new house too? So where will u be staying? I'll be at P21.
