Yah... so you are going to be leaving for your honeymoon right after your wedding? Really hope I have the time to meet up with you and Shook to exchange information about Italy too.
Almost half of the regular posters have their weddings already
but it's reasonable since it's already mid-May!
All
Yah.. I can see myself logging in too. But mostly, hopefully after our wedding and honeymoon, we will get to meet up and exchange photos!!

hi 1027,
hmm... good idea to bring along lint remover, but haven't buy one leh...
hi kk,
the pic I gave them not very clear as EG pattern, so I tot I'll leave it to the designer. She did made an initiative to add more beads where the pic dosen have, but not what I tot I want lor. So I think it's best I sew them myself, provided I find those beads.
Those lint rollers... I think can find near shoes dept or woolen clothes dept rite? Tot I used to see those handing on rack like socks.

kk: you can find lint remover rollers in large supermarkets, Handifix, Homefix, etc. Giant and Carrefour also have them.
If you go to supermarkets, should be in the area of the laundry section.
Eh? not only old dogs shed mah .... mine also sheds alot. Some more his fur coat is long, so the fur that he sheds sometimes rolls into one big ball of fur!
I think if i had collected all his fur and made it into a pillow, it should be nice big and fluffy by now! hahahahahaa...

Hi Feb
r u still looking for electric table lamps? I saw one with a red lamp shade at Ikea yesterday. The shade cost $6 and the base (silver) is $8. the whole thing cost $14 (without bulbs) so it will be $28 for a pair. u may can go down and take a look since ikea is having its 25th anniversary sale. They also have different lamp shade designs so u can change them in future if the red ones dun match your decor.
think the wedding shop at chinatown also sell those electrical ones but the design is more towards the traditional types and cost around $20.
hope this help

Hello Sandgirl and the rest of the ladies!
I went for my fitting last Sunday but couldn't update you girls as I fell sick on the same afternoon! I was down with a high fever of 38.5 degrees celcius! Imagine my panick1 Now I'm on MC at home.
Back to the fitting...Dang did some embroidery and beading to my WG already and it was nice! She used some champagne colored beads to enhance the design of the WG. FH likes it very much! But there's still more alteration to be done as my train is slightly too long and needs to be trimmed. And according to Dang, I've also lost some weight too(Yipppeeee!!!!) and so that means altering the sides of the bodice to ensure better fit!
Teadress's beading was also done already. The collar and the collar bone area were decorated very nicely with beads. Beading on the teadress was minimal but I think it should be enough cos I do not want it to look too loud too. I'll think about it again whether to do more beadings or not.
Lastly, the 'problematic' WG! Yes! Finally, the fit is 'near' perfect! No beading or embroidery is done yet but it should be completed by the next fitting. FH still 'has no comment' about it though he did say that it look much better than the last time. So I guess this must be his least favourite piece among the three. Hopefully, Dang can do something to change his mind (Hehehe)
My next fitting will also be my trial make up day with Kelly. Tentatively set on 31 May, still waiting for confirmation. Dang said that I probably have to come for a 4th fitting before myps since I gain and lose weight easily! That's to ensure that I fit my dresses perfectly for my ps!

hi everyone,
my preparations... got to prepare things meh? i tot parents prepare one? hahha...
anyway, right now i'm having 10 "big heads". i'm suppose to be working but i'm really tired of it.
then there's reno and furniture to worry abt.
I'm so DAMN busy with my work that i have almost no time to settle furniture and any other stuffs.
yet if i take even a day's leave or spend abit of time in reno side, my work will pile up like crazy.
I'm so so so stressed.
very very very tired. Luckily my FH likes to oversee everything coz he knows i'm very tired at work. know he heart pain to see me so tired.
but then... he's also tired mah... i also heart pain....sigh.
why the work soooooo much? i wanna sleep also no time. sigh sigh SIGH.

hi jt, maybe it's abt time management. i used to hv this feeling too. but when i decided personal time is personal time, work time is work time, i dun get them mixed up. of course sometimes when work is a lot, i use my personal time for it, after tt i compensate it back when work is not so urgent. btw, there's no end to work unless u quit. so, learn to take it easy. when u plan well, u'll work more efficiently.

hi JT... gotta agree with espresso there. it's all about time management. i really sympathise with u but dun over-stress urself ok? it's a reality here in singapore that we have to juggle our work, house reno and marriage preps at the same time when couples decided to get married. it's tough-going but as espresso said, we gotta separate what is personal time and what is work time.
my situation is somewhat the same as urs. my FH and i have to oversee everything for our wedding preps and house reno with no one else to help us. both of us work long hours (my workday can often stretch to 14-15 hours and i sleep only 4-5 hours a nite) and the only time we're free is on weekends. so we just settle everything wedding and house-related on weekends. if really need be, can take 1 day leave to attend to the urgent wedding/house matters. bosses are generally understanding as u've already worked so hard normally and they wun begrudge u that 1 day.
end of the day, do remember... work mebbe impt but not as impt as our future lives together with our FH
I've learnt to prioritise and hence not as stressed as some time back over my work.
do take care and dun stress urself too much ok? afterall, a happy bride makes a beautiful bride!
that said, my stress-related pimples sure cleared up alot after i put less stress on myself!
have a good weekend...

the title to that song is "Rainbow Connection" - sorry to interject

:, yep, that's it. It slipped my mind lah..
Gers, I got some materials from spotlight to make the jiemei's corsages. Need some experimenting. Think I will need a glue-gun to hold everything in place. Spotlight is selling it at 5 plus. The design is a off-white satin rose surrounded by small pink flowers on a off-white ribbon. May use the same design for the angpow box too.
And got a digital camera with my bro today too. Yeah, can take loads of pictures already. And can take the pictures at the next gathering.

Hi ladies,
how's everybody doing?
I am back from both my Penang and local PS
Great, fun but tiring as well!
did not get enough rest at all (have to wake up early for sunrise shots)
my photographer is really fun to work with
his energy level is amazing
both me n FH were already exhausted but the photographer actually push us for more shots... hee hee
I have already seen some of the pix
and they were well-taken (maybe all brides partial to their photos... hee hee)
Amerline,
my photographer commented that my WG, EG and CS look great (so happy! ; ))

Hi everyone, think I haven't done an intro yet, just confirmed my banquet date recently, so I guess I'll be a Nov bride
HOME
- Resale corner 18th floor 3-rm in Holland V. Deposit just paid only, waiting for the whole transaction to run through (3 mths).
! Need to renovate, furnish.
ROM
- next Wednesday at ROM building.
- Rings bought and engraved. Restaurant lunch booked. Driver-cum-photographer and videographer friends booked (plus his parents, my mum, a galfriend-cum-driver and us makes 8 pax exactly).
- Daniel Yam dress for me, Agnes B shirt and Springfield pants for him, Ah-lian platform 4 inch shoes for me (which will double for the banquet too).
! He hasn't found a matching tie and I'm beyond caring.
! He proposed but abit of a let-down, asked him to do a proper one... his time is running out though
Disappointed
He's upset that I'm disappointed.
WEDDING THEME
- "Everything's Coming Up Roses!" is the tentative theme. From banquet decor, card, gowns design and bouquet to favours. Originally wanted Palenopsis Orchid theme but that costs a freaking $20 per STALK even at wholesaler... so now going for wholistic roses theme. Even though roses are a tad predictable and boring, I can have as many roses as I want!
BANQUET
- Mid Nov weekday 35+2 tables with whole suckling pig dish.
! Need to confirm (still firming up selection between Mandarin, Concorde and Otani).
! Need to decide on own favours (other than hotel's).
! Need to learn how to DIY table bouquets, I want the place BURSTING with flowers (say, 20 wholesale roses with leafy fillers, multiplied 35 tables = hopefully $500 thereabouts. Any higher cost will be hard to explain to FH... he's not flower-crazy the way I am.)
BRIDAL & PHOTOGRAPHY
- Bridal Art in Marina Sq. (1st gowns discussion next Friday end-May, renting MTM wedding gown and evening gown, scheduled ready mid-July).
- 2-day Photoshoot scheduled end-July: 1 traditional series and 1 more experimental series (the half-face far away shots that elders will complain). Photos should be ready early-Nov.
! Need to convert car loan & deco. to buy workmanship of 1 MTM cheongsam for me, 1 MTM evening gown for FMIL (materials we'll buy ourselves).
! Need to rent an old Beetle with decorations.
! Need to rent a KUA for banquet.
! Need to book photographer and videographer friends for banquet.
! Need to ask Make-up artist to do makeup for FMIL (today she asked for it, hehe) and mum.
BACKGROUND
- We only decided to marry in Feb. so alot of things eg. banquet, gowns, photoshoot and home renovations are lagging behind "schedule" of most you ladies here
.
- Didn't save for a wedding, all of sudden decided to marry, we didn't budget (engagement ring we considered from under $1K to 5K; bridal packages we considered from Tan Yoong to Bridal Art; banquet we considered from Mandarin to restaurant)... just dived in.
- Home was the easiest, he wanted Holland V area, I wanted smaller space (*hint* he's an only child).
- Originally wanted just ONE nice wedding gown without train and no evening gown. But got more excited, now 1 wedding gown with train (MTM rent for march-in etc), 1 evening gown with train (MTM rent for table-to-table photos).
- After some time, decided to add 1 KUA (OTR rent for tea ceremony), 1 cheongsam (MTM buy for cocktail and handshake end).
- Getting even more greedy, thinking of still more gown changes! (Arab St had very elaborately beaded lace, $100-150 a metre plus some workmanship costs sound quite alright to me, but it'll end up in storage after banquet).
- Initially thought of a simple restaurant banquet but tables ballooned we needed a ballroom, then mum suddenly wanted whole suckling pig dish, and then realised parents loved Mandarin's name. Seeing that it's once in lifetime for THEM too, so now possibly confirming Mandarin.
- Financially still ok, phew. FH's normally-scrooge ways put him in good stead (I think he's overwhelmed by all the nitty-gritty he's willing to pay for PEACE ahaha).

- Resale corner 18th floor 3-rm in Holland V. Deposit just paid only, waiting for the whole transaction to run through (3 mths).
! Need to renovate, furnish.
ROM
- next Wednesday at ROM building.
- Rings bought and engraved. Restaurant lunch booked. Driver-cum-photographer and videographer friends booked (plus his parents, my mum, a galfriend-cum-driver and us makes 8 pax exactly).
- Daniel Yam dress for me, Agnes B shirt and Springfield pants for him, Ah-lian platform 4 inch shoes for me (which will double for the banquet too).
! He hasn't found a matching tie and I'm beyond caring.
! He proposed but abit of a let-down, asked him to do a proper one... his time is running out though
WEDDING THEME
- "Everything's Coming Up Roses!" is the tentative theme. From banquet decor, card, gowns design and bouquet to favours. Originally wanted Palenopsis Orchid theme but that costs a freaking $20 per STALK even at wholesaler... so now going for wholistic roses theme. Even though roses are a tad predictable and boring, I can have as many roses as I want!
BANQUET
- Mid Nov weekday 35+2 tables with whole suckling pig dish.
! Need to confirm (still firming up selection between Mandarin, Concorde and Otani).
! Need to decide on own favours (other than hotel's).
! Need to learn how to DIY table bouquets, I want the place BURSTING with flowers (say, 20 wholesale roses with leafy fillers, multiplied 35 tables = hopefully $500 thereabouts. Any higher cost will be hard to explain to FH... he's not flower-crazy the way I am.)
BRIDAL & PHOTOGRAPHY
- Bridal Art in Marina Sq. (1st gowns discussion next Friday end-May, renting MTM wedding gown and evening gown, scheduled ready mid-July).
- 2-day Photoshoot scheduled end-July: 1 traditional series and 1 more experimental series (the half-face far away shots that elders will complain). Photos should be ready early-Nov.
! Need to convert car loan & deco. to buy workmanship of 1 MTM cheongsam for me, 1 MTM evening gown for FMIL (materials we'll buy ourselves).
! Need to rent an old Beetle with decorations.
! Need to rent a KUA for banquet.
! Need to book photographer and videographer friends for banquet.
! Need to ask Make-up artist to do makeup for FMIL (today she asked for it, hehe) and mum.
BACKGROUND
- We only decided to marry in Feb. so alot of things eg. banquet, gowns, photoshoot and home renovations are lagging behind "schedule" of most you ladies here
- Didn't save for a wedding, all of sudden decided to marry, we didn't budget (engagement ring we considered from under $1K to 5K; bridal packages we considered from Tan Yoong to Bridal Art; banquet we considered from Mandarin to restaurant)... just dived in.
- Home was the easiest, he wanted Holland V area, I wanted smaller space (*hint* he's an only child).
- Originally wanted just ONE nice wedding gown without train and no evening gown. But got more excited, now 1 wedding gown with train (MTM rent for march-in etc), 1 evening gown with train (MTM rent for table-to-table photos).
- After some time, decided to add 1 KUA (OTR rent for tea ceremony), 1 cheongsam (MTM buy for cocktail and handshake end).
- Getting even more greedy, thinking of still more gown changes! (Arab St had very elaborately beaded lace, $100-150 a metre plus some workmanship costs sound quite alright to me, but it'll end up in storage after banquet).
- Initially thought of a simple restaurant banquet but tables ballooned we needed a ballroom, then mum suddenly wanted whole suckling pig dish, and then realised parents loved Mandarin's name. Seeing that it's once in lifetime for THEM too, so now possibly confirming Mandarin.
- Financially still ok, phew. FH's normally-scrooge ways put him in good stead (I think he's overwhelmed by all the nitty-gritty he's willing to pay for PEACE ahaha).

Hi gals,
Need your advice... think of not getting married!!
I was a clubber last time.. but after knowing my hubby.. i almost stop clubbing. However, My kakis will ask me for clubbing sometimes (few months once) and my hubby is very very unhappy! Bcos of this issue, we have argue & quarrel and im sick & tired! I have assure him again & again but whenever the clubbing time comes he will burst out again!! arrrk!! Im very angry & upset with him!
Do you guys think i should stick to him??

Hi Serene
Hmm.. don think of nt getting married lar.. from what you mentioned, it's not abt the clubbing, but more on respect for personal space. talk to him nicely on this.
I used to club quite a lot too. In fact, knew my bf from one of the clubbing place.. but now, i am not interested in clubbing oledy. It's probably jus a phase .. you will grow out of it.. but really, it's what concerns your bf have had abt you clubbing - getting drunk , the company you mix with, or the going home late .. talk to him abt it.. and don be so quick to think of not marrying k?
