Thanks Yan, got ur pic!
Zen, yeah heard abt not to have wedding in the Lunar 6th month, but i guess it's up to u and both u and ur bf's parents whether they are pantang or not... If u're not the supertitious kind, then i think it's fine, as long as dun do it in the 7th month lah...
Btw, zen, we gals here very helpful and chatty one!!
Yup, sad huh, both the twins passed away... sighs..

hello jamci & shinchan, welcome !
binbin : have yet to visit the tongluk restaurants but my bf has zoom down to 2: imperium and club chinois. i think he like imperium but then there's this big stage in the center which previously was the dance floor. We may be going down this wkend to take a look at the venue and the setting and then compare with club chinois. hopefully can settle down with just one.
Have you MTM your gown yet? since ur PS is in Nov.
which bridal shop u sign up with ?
CC2 : my wedding falls near end of march
actually we plan to have it in feb but there isnt aany suitable dates for us so have to delay.
jamci : which bridal shop you book ?
Chinshan : hows ur package ? is mandarin hotel x ?
cheers

Morning gals!!
Hi zen, me heard about the ban nian thingy too... as what silver has said, if you & yr bf, parents & in-laws dont mind, then its ok.... some people also commented that it's more auspicious to get married in "even" mths, like Chinese Aug, Oct etc... but look at this thread!! so many of us getting married in the 5th mth of the lunar calendar!!!
Thanks, yan!! will go check out yr pic!! oh, i was talking about you & jul visiting PF...
ok, me changed my appt liao.... so, next tue is confirmed!!
yvonne, we did discuss with silver on selecting new 4-rm or 5-rm in our previous postings... (maybe you havent join us yet!!
) we were telling her that the new 4-rm are quite small.... maybe you can visit the HDB showflats when you're free?!?!? then can make a decision to go and queue once there's news of the WIS in Punggol/Sengkang... think they'll announce the no. of 4-rm & 5-rm available....

Good Day Gals,
Is Wednesday, mid-week!!! Feeling better??? Hee......
Silver,
Yeah lor... heard not much 4rooms left! Visited a friend's hse last wkend at Senja Rd (Bt Panjang), the flat there is so CHEAP!!! $210K for 5rooms (BTO) somemore at 25th floor...!!! And they didnt really do alot on reno very simple furnishing also cost them less than 18K!
Ever,
I know 4rooms is quite small nowaday... ard 90sqm but we dun mind lor cos is much cheaper & got more grant than 5rooms. We dun really wanna burden ourselves on home or reno loans either. Jus wanna a simple and cozy place to stay in. Resale probably will be the last resolve! We intend to find a flat by end of this year and hopefully can move in before our wedding day.

Arrgghhhh...... guess we too kan cheong to get a house that time... if we dont settle the housing thingy, we cant start any preparation on our wedding, including wedding date!!!

Hi gals!
Missed so much action *sigh* Last nite I worked till 8.30 pm, then gave up & went home. This morning got meeting. That's why I only managed to check in now. So many postings! *cross-eyed*
I got my tickets for the NDP. Think it's for the actual day parade. Had such a hard time getting there from Raffles Place MRT. Think I saw a gym there, is it PF?

Hi Yvonne,
U're also staying in Hougang? I think Jan stays there too. And I stay in Serangoon. And yan stays in AMK. I think we're all a bunch of North-Easterners *hee*
So u & silver are both waiting for the Aug WIS for Sengkang & Punggol. Well, be prepared to camp overnight. I got mine from the very first WIS, but it's 5 rm. And I didn't have to q at all, coz mine was still in the the process of construction when I got it.

Hi Karyinn,
I love flats with good location & amenities. My dream hse is a 5 room flat, with NTUC, swimming pool, clinic, bus interchange, MRT station, stadium, wet market, shopping centre, library etc nearby. So greedy right? That's y it can only be a DREAM
I think HDB is so inflexible right? Have to q, BTO, wait for letter, limited areas & blks & units to choose from, won't tell us exactly when's the WIS so we can plan... *sigh* Civil service!

Hi ever,
Yup yup, maybe after we talk to contractors, my fiance will change his mind abt the loan. Like the ring, he changed his mind when he saw the rose gold at Fairy's Inc. *hehe* At first he only wanted to buy the platinum off the shelf rings from Lee Hwa.
We haven't decided to stay at our new flat for >5 yrs. It'll be wasteful to do the hse so nicely, then move away after just a few yrs. Anyway, too fanciful designs won't last. when the trend is over, it'll look passe
Must console myself coz dun have the money to do lavish reno *hehe*

Hi Zen,
So have u booked the dinner venue & the bridal shop yet? I guess since we're choosing 5th & 6th lunar mth, we won't have that much competition for bookings. Think everyone will be rushing for Jun coz it's lunar 4th mth? Anyway, for us, we dun look at dates at all, just picked the date we wanted coz it's out anniversary.

After discussion wif mum and FH, decided not to go for changi bungalows...too far already and also my wedding is on a weekday. My FH fear that the attendance rate of our wedding wld be low. heheheh
Not bad wor, your WG almost done? Me juz confirm design wif my designer last wk...my shop do not sew my WG and EG until 4-5 wks before my fitting...
*sigh* i'm ok...as long as they get my WG & EG done on time.

my friend found it for me after i told her i am considering blue ginger. initially she din like it, but when she see the website she said she sorta salivates from the description hehehhee....
just now tried www.theblueginger.com but i couldn't get it. u can try. or u can call blue ginger 62223928 to ask for their website.
hehehhee....i also tried Halia before. i think i must have exhausted a lot of places during my ROM search.
hehehhee.... i visited halia twice to talk to the manager. i must say their service is good too, though not as superb at alan lah. hehehe... yes, a bit more expensive, and the menu is not really extensive. not much choice. if u want airconditioned, i think they can only accomodate 50 indoors. but what i like is they could provide contingency as well in case it rains. coz i had preferred to have solemnisation at the bandstand (a small white godric pavilion) in botanic gardens itself....

Hi Trixie,
Thank you. So, have you decided on your banquet venue yet? M Hotel?
As for me, still waiting for the date to be fixed, most probably latest by end of this month, the date should be confirmed.
There is quite alot of preparation to be done. I'm going to make appointments with 4 respective photographys before which one to take cos I'm more interested in the digital photography.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Evon,
Is Bt Batok on the walk-in list? Thot they won't be since they're so popular! Come be my neighbour lah
Pant suit can be very nice, very different from the throngs of brides you'll see at ROM
Does GHA have them though? If not, a knee/calve length dress can be nice also. Not too dressy for day event so can still go out and have fun after that

Hi Trixie,
During June there was already one walk-in but both my FH n myself are suspecting there might be more than just tat 11 units. Will hv to see if till end of this year there aren't anymore walk-in then I will be your neighbour real soon
I'm not too sure if GHA has pant suit. I will choose something simple instead anyway after the event most likely going to change back simple t-shirt n shorts cos we're having a bbq session.
Your reno finishing soon huh? can take some pics n show me cos I might need to look around for ideas already. Might just go for the 'lego' tiles...interesting tiles cos just 'click' can already..they even hv 'lego' wall, dunno if it's secure but from pics look ok.
