Hi yan, silver, yvonne,

I'm so sorry I was MIA for Sun's show. You see, I lost my hp, so I was running ard calling SingTel, cancelling SIM card, etc. So couldn't make it for the show

But fortunately I got the hp back

I'll have to go to Hello to re-activate my SIM card again tho. So sorry I couldn't contact u guys to let u know, as ur nos were in my SIM card.

silver,

I really dun think I can lose so much weight. I love to eat, & eat non-stop. I only pray that I can tone up a bit, & not look so flabby in the gowns. *sigh* It'll be so nice to be naturally slim like Yvonne

Jan & ever,

How's ur weekend?

Ever,

I went to Fairy's Inc with my fiance on Sat. Didn't spend a lot of time there, just popped in for a few minutes. My fiance has decided that he likes rose gold too *hehe*

Hey congrats! U're getting a diamond ring! *hehe* Mine's a 6-claw too. Think Lee Hwa trying very hard to promote their Cosmo setting. Last yr when I went ring shopping, they also tried to get me to buy the Hearts on Fire with Cosmo setting.

 

[ever]

Hi Jul!!

so, you didnt get to meet the gals?? you mean someone returned the phone to you?? so lucky!! usually, people will juz keep the hp!!!

ya, my bro & his galfren like the rose gold too!! hhmmmm.... dont like Lee Hwa's cosmo setting cos the claws very huge...

 

[yvonne]

Hi Jan,
(Early bird award for you on this monday blue!!!)

Good Morning Ever,
Yeah, I thk me follow by karyinn & Jul will be having our ROM this year.

Regarding the GI show on Sun... ONLY Silver & myself got to meet each other cos Yan couldn't make it and Jul NO REPLY??? Well personally I like the 1st 3 gowns that came out at the beginning of the show, what abt u silver? Other than that, I dun find their evening gown attractive to me.

Wow... Ever! So nice yr BF going to buy u six-clawed diamond, izit for yr ROM/wedding band? I like the "classic look" 6claws diamond too!!!

 

[jul]

Hi ever,

Nope, didn't make it to the show. Yeah it was quite gd of that person to return me my hp. Actually I lost my hp before, when it got pickpocketed. So traumatised! Think that if I didn't get my hp back this time, I'll swear off hps forever!

Haha! So now everyone's into rose gold instead of white gold or platinum *hee* Hey, u n I are quite similar! I dun like the fat claws too. But I think Lee Hwa's designs are quite 'angmoh', so they like big claws. But the ring looks so chunky, & non-delicate right? Also most of the diamond gets covered up by the claws

The gal from Fairy's Inc - not Evelyn, the other one, forgot her name - saw my ring, & also commened that the fine prongs are nice too. Then u see the ctual diamond, not the claws! Oops! Here I go again...

 

[jul]

Hi Yvonne,

Sorry, I MIA-ed coz I lost my hp!

I'm not having ROM. I'll be doing the solemnisation w/ 2 church weddings n dinner next yr. Dun ask me why 2 church weddings *hehe*

 

[yvonne]

Hi Jul,
Finally got to hear from you, no wonder no reply from you! Well, so careless ya. So where did you misplaced yr hp???

Btw, where is FAIRY INC? Hee......

 

[yan]

Morning gals,

my apologise for flying kite yesterday..

i sprained my ankle on sat, so cannot go to the bridal show yesterday... my ankle was swollen like a pig leg... actually i wanna to limp to the show, but my boyfriend's face upon hearing that was so black that i dare not mention again..

i did not managed to get the digi cam as well cos i sprained my ankle before getting it... *sign*

silver and yvonne -- managed to take pixs of the gowns to show us?

 

[jan]

Hello gals!

Hi Jul, lucky for u, managed to get ur HP back!
Wah, u gals hunting for diamonds and rings, so good, but right now, not interested in diamonds already..hehe..

Hi Yvonne, yup, me and ever are usually the early birds!! hehe..

 

[karyinn]

Good Morning Ladies,

My FH bought me a Lee Hwa diamond ring as proposal ring too. I think he heart broke ;P...

Hi Yan,

What Digital Camera u bought? My favourite hobby is - taking photos ;p

Hi Silver,

For overseas PS, i just need to pay for the air ticket, accomdation and makan..

 

[yvonne]

Hi Trixie,

May I know where is The Wedding Present boutique located at? I know is at 8 Gemmin Lane, but can I know where is it near to or how can I get to there? Thank you.

 

[jan]

Oh Yan,
So how's ur ankle today? U at work?
Hmm.. sounds like not a good weekend huh!

 

[jul]

Hi Yvonne,
I was eating at a coffeeshop. There were so many aunties who push & shove people ard

They're like starving for 3 days & nites, just shove their way to the stall like hungry wolves. So somehow in the midst of the action, I dropped my hp lor *sigh*

Fairy's Inc is at Delfi Orchard.

Yan,
So poor thing, got swollen ankle, & still no digicam. But maybe ur bf will buy u one to 'sayang' u?

Jan,
So what r u interested in now? Visiting bridal shops?

Karyinn,
I dun think ur bf heart-broken, think he's pocket-broken instead! *hehe*

 

[ever]

Hi gals!!

yvonne, the diamond ring will be the proposal ring... although a bit late lah... hahahaha

oh, Fairy Inc is at Delfi Orchard...

Jul, i was served by the other gal at Fairy Inc too!! she very nice hor...

Yan, hope you're feeling better now... did you go see a doc?? shld take MC, if not you hav to limp to work!!!

Karyinn, your fiance bought the ring long ago or during this sale?? actually, this sale's quite good cos there's 30%-40% on certified diamonds... but my bf say his lobang is even better!! cheaper than Lee Hwa... hahahaha... actually, me dont mind diamonds without international cert....

Jan, ya sounds like this weekend had been very eventful....

 

[jan]

Haha.. Jul, well not so much of visiting bridal shops lah, maybe i shld stop pestering my hubby for a while!!

And in the meantime, see if there're having any promo or shows coming up or not! hehe..

 

[jan]

Hey ever and karyinn,

I tot Lee Hwa had sale since like last month or so, or do they have another better sale going on now?

ever, wow, ur bf so secretive ah? If really can buy lots cheaper, can share share where to buy it from? hehe..

Btw, are diamonds from diamond industry cheaper?? Always wondered abt that but never visited the place...

 

[karyinn]

Hi Ever,

Actually, my FH plan to buy the diamond ring next year. Since Lee Hwa got good sales, then we bought it during the sales. Anyway, I quite like it. Do you think i should buy back something for my FH? What should I buy? Any Suggestion?

 

[jul]

Hi ever,
Both the gals at Fairy's Inc are very nice

Evelyn showed me the white gold, rose gold & plated white gold comparison too. I saw a pair of rings in black gold, but we didn't really have time to see much. Coz rushing off to another appt with a contractor.

Now that I managed to 'seduce' my fiance into custom-making our wedding bands, we can afford to slowly wait & think abt it already. No need to rush for 13 Jul GSS dateline *hehe* But then becoz budget constraint, we most prob will be getting very simple bands. Maybe no diamonds / carving. *sigh*

Jan,
Recently got a lot of bridal shows again right? Vanity, GI, HWB, etc etc. Spoilt for choice! But then I think my fiance has decided to stop going for bridal shows. Next step, TWD for trying gowns!


Jan,

 

[jul]

Hmmm... How come my posting turned out like that?

 

[jan]

hahaa.. Jul, u miss me too much is it, that's why my name came out twice!! hehehe..

Yup, there's one show for vanity coming up, but think their package quite ex leh considering they're quite new i think, it's $3988 for MTM..

 

[yan]

thanks all for the concern.. the swell went down a bit bit... still pain but can tahan la.

when is the HWB bridal show? neber heard of this leh..

karyinn - i m thinking of getting canon ixus 400. any bad reviews about this model?

i also like to take photos too... last year's vacation to perth, for less than 5 days, i took 7 rolls of films (just me and bf).. in addition to one video tape... my bf cannot tahan me..

i think that's why he so scared of taking the bridal photos now... he must be thinking of all the additional photos that i wanna develop.. gonna have a big hole then..

 

[karyinn]

Hi Yan,

Canon DC is quite good i guess

... you can try to go the Cathay shop at Peninsula. The ppl there is quite helpful and normally their price is cheaper then shopping centre

I am using Sony P9 4 mega pixels

...

 

[ever]

Jan, heard that certified diamonds are cheaper at Daimond industries... but if you getting the normal ones, then not sure if their quality is good... heeheehee.... actually, my bf's lobang is his aunt lah... she buy direct from a wholesaler and do setting herself... if you gals interested, then let me know loh... she do bracelets, earrings etc...

Karyinn, i also thought of buying something for my bf... was thinking of proposing to him liao if he still so "nua" about getting the ring for me!!!

hhmmm.... maybe a watch or a "manly" ring?? but maybe some guys dont wear so many rings hor...

Jul, you too loh-so, that's why posting kana cut-off!!! hahahahaha.... no lah no lah!! juz joking!! think rose gold bands shld be simpler, no need diamonds... then can see the rose gold clearly mah... so, yr fiance shld thank me for telling you about the rose gold?!?!? heeheeheehee....

 

[karyinn]

Hi Ever,

I ever thought of getting him a watch. But he "same like me" don't like to wear watch ;(...
Hmmm oh ya.. maybe i will buy the "small matter" for the sleeves button.. dun know what that call...

 

[yan]

cuff links..

 

[yvonne]

Hi Yan, Have a Speedy recovery...!!!

Wow... you really likes to take pix very much, 7 rolls!!! I only took 3-4 rolls for my 7 days Mel/Syd trip...hee! So is Perth a beautiful place?

Hmm.... I also feel like getting a digicam cos so "FAN BIAN" and can take lots & lots of pixs! But too bad we running out of cash now so got to put the idea ON HOLD!!! =(

 

[karyinn]

Oh Ya Cuff Links ...

May I know .. normally have to go how many times for Nails care?

 

[karyinn]

Last Dec, when i went to Korea, i also took almost 7 rolls of pics too ...Korea is very very nice during winter. BEST and most economical place to see winter, great scenery

Oh Ya, i got post the pic in web.. you gals want to see?

[karyinn]

[karyinn]

[ever]

Karyinn, yr email address?? then i forward you our contact list..... you add yours in, k??

 

[jul]

Wah, exploded with postings!

Jan,
Yeah lor, miss u so much. Every nite dream of what u look like

Yan,
The HWB show is the one u missed on Sun lah!

Ever,
Maybe can get my si dian jin from ur bf's aunt. But then must confirm whether I'll get any si dian jin in the first place, since both if us are not remotely close to Teochew at all *hee*

Yup, my fiance liked the rose gold so much. He was also thinking of getting it plain, but I was thinking too plain, then what's the point of customising? But also constrained by budget *sigh*

Wow! If u propose to ur bf, then surely very jing tian dong di!

Karyinn,
Yeah, I wanna see Korean pics too!

 

[ever]

Hi Jul!! ai ya, nowadays not Teochew also can buy si dian jin.... anyway, your PILs will get you a gift for the wedding mah... then, buy diamonds loh!!! hahahahaha..... better than gold jewellery!!! *faint*

maybe you can get half rose gold and half white gold... the two kinds of gold combined with a slanted line... cool!! think rose gold material is exp, not the engraving... so, if you two like it, shld spend a bit more loh.... will be wearing it for a lifetime!!!

hahahahha

if i propose to my bf, you gals must help me think of a unique proposal plan!!!! hahahaha...... not easy leh... me force my bf to propose to me in a special way, no wonder he still havent action.... havent thought of the special way, i think!! hahahahaha...

My chinese medication is for my irregular menses and headache,shoulder ache and also pimples ..

Yvonne,

For those snow pics, most of them i use TRIPOD stand ... but.. i lost my tripod the 4 days at Korea. I misplaced it lor. My bf everytime complaint whenever i go holiday with him, die die must bring along a tripod. He said VERY troublesome. But i don't care, because i only care to take nice pics .. did you get to see one pose "winter sonata"? eheheh we copy cat ;p

 

[jan]

Hi ladies!

Karyinn, my email is [email protected]

Hey gals, just wondering whether u all know which of these photographers is good - Robin, The Edge, O studio, Photospace?? Coz think these are the few that bridal shops tie up with and are usually the cheaper ones, and i think o studio is currently having promo now with bridals...

 

[trixie]

Hi Yvonne,
Actually i considered Divine Couture also but was too lazy to go to the shop! In fact, i didn't really scout ard. Decided on TWP since my fren signed up with them also and have had a good experience so far

I chose ImageGarden for photography. Sorry, no comments on the others as i fell in love with IG's style and didn't do any comparison

It's near club street, just behind far east square. Do you know where is Shidong bar? it's just opposite...

Hi taurus,
I've sent you the file

 

[jul]

Hi ever,
Cannot take it for granted that they'll buy me stuff right? *wink* Anyway, I dunno if I shd ask for practical stuff, like fridge, washing machine, sofa etc, just to help out with the budget.

Aiyah, the wedding band thing, can wait till end of the yr then say. Now I have to concentrate on hse already. Getting keys very very soon, must meet contractors etc. So many things to do!

Hmm... I'll let u know is I think of any unique proposals *hee*

Yvonne,
I dun have any pics. Home PC also conked out, it's ancient! Maybe we arrange a day out to meet everyone? I'm getting very confused coz they're so many of us now.

Karyinn,
U mean u can only eat fish soup????

Yan,
Sorry I blur lah! I meant the HWB show Sat b4 last. Didn't mean to confuse u

 

[yvonne]

Hi Karyinn,
Yeah i saw the copy version of "WINTER SONATA" is quite cute... Mus be yr idea rite? Hee......

Hmm... Ok! Will go back email my pix to you gals (if i remember...haa!!!). At least I got to see Silver in person on sun... and Karyinn in pix...hee! =P

Hi Jul,
Day out sounds a good idea... gals consider???

 

[jamci]

Hi trixie, could you send me the food comment for M hotel?

 

[yan]

jul -- no problem abt the HWB show... i m the one who eats fish soup regularly.. my doc say i cannot eat alot of things and hence the safest food for me is fish soup and yong dao fu.. so nowadays i try to have them like on alternate days...
once in a while, will pamper myself with good food, but still keep to those food that i cant eat... *sign* how i miss chicken rice... *chicken is one of the food that i cant take*
