Hi Bin Bin,
Yes..more or less settled liao. Just need to get lobang for florist. Most of the florists i asked don't have rose petals in packet form. Any idea u have?

hi hi doremon...
happy.gif
i got my rose petals from the florist in International Plaza (tanjong pagar). it is very cheap,and the service is good. they sell in big packets of $3, mixed rose petals. if you want to choose colours, then u pay for the roses and they tear the petals off for u.... i dun rem exactly how much are the roses. if i am not wrong, they do have 3 for $1 kind, but are those that are very ripe and bloomed. for the fresh ones...which is what i got...i forgot the price liao...u can call and check, or go and visit them if u work near there?? i did think of buying from poppy (where i got my bouquet), as they have beautiful petals, but IP for rose petals cheaper....

hi orange, welcome!!!
happy.gif
booked ur venue yet? hope u will enjoy usself here with the march brides to be! ;)

jas......but my designer specifically told me not to rebond my hair before wedding leh. coz she said rebonded hair (esp newly rebonded one) not easy to style....why not check with ur bridal? and u have just highlighted huh? heheh i also tot of highlighting leh...hhehee...but no money leh. :p. anyway, since u highlighted oredi, think rebonding will be wasted right? read from this rebonding thread that if highlight first then rebond, the rebonding will lighten the colour or something like that...

sunflower and jas...hehhee...me also eager to lose the extra fats arnd the arms and such. just renewed my amore package.
happy.gif
today went to kickboxing class....beri fun..
happy.gif


yes, climbing stairs can burn kilos. u can also try to walk home more from the mrt or interchange instead of taking fiddle service. or get down one mrt station earlier when going to work....and walk there..... or try to walk around after lunch instead of sitting down immediately... :p

Orange: Hello. Welcome to the thread!!!! When's ur date?

Jas: I oso have the dilema whether to rebond my hair now. Had it last done last year's Jan, but now a bit unmanageable liao... Feel like doing but scare it'll all be spoilt after the PS... Sigh.. zhen fan ah..
sad.gif


Sunflower: If I'm not wrong, u can fixed ur PS date as well as ur photographer & make-up artist when u go for ur 1st fitting on 23/8. From what i know, some gals from other thread even book these issues right after they signed up the package... Maybe u can ask ur bridal shop.. Sorry ah... me blur blur liao, is ur bridal boutique Santiago???

Hi everyone! Welcome, Orange!
happy.gif


Me can't sleep so log on to chk this forum, glad to see it becomes 'alive' again. Ya, it was quiet for a while... pai seh, seems like only me & CC2 discussing abt our bridal shop.
biggrin.gif


Regarding rebonding of hair, I oso heard tt newly rebonding hair is difficult to style. And oso afraid tt the rebonding effect won't be lasting after the hairstylist lay their hands to style our hair for the PS & actual day.... Actually, I oso rebonded my hair earlier this year & am considering whether to do it again end of this yr. Hmm, think better chk out with the bridal hairstylist for some advice.

Well, I guess all, if not most of us r trying very hard to lose some weight & to tone up those muscles. Running is actually a very good form of exercise to lose those extra kilos, provided you hv the discipline, stamina & determination to really run some kms....
bounce.gif


Sunflower, me oso like u, wanna keep fit yet just too lazy to get out of the house to sweat it out, hee hee. & I oso dun hv $$ to sign up with fitness centre...
sad.gif

Fyi, I try to 'force' myself to do some 'cross-training' at home. E.g. Stretching, sit-ups, carry weights etc. Sometimes I'll do some skipping oso.

Morning gals!!

silver, guess my bf is quite ok about me travelling occassionally, but not once a mth!! anyway, will give it a serious thought if they ask me to go for second interview....

gals, me bought the wedding bands yesterday!! yipppeeee!!!! we still ended up buying the pair from Soo Kee.... think i described to you gals before.... its with 2 tiny diamonds, and have a small gap in between the ring.... wanted to customise it to platinum, but my bf decided otherwise.... so, we got them to customise one pair using white gold and will be collecting them in a mth!! Saw their diamond rings where you'll also get a pendant free, but guess its not that cheap compared to my bf's lobang!! and not necessary to have a diamond pendant also.... so, me still waiting for my diamond ring!!!

Morning gals!

Jul, didnt expect u to log in on Sat!! hehe..
Maybe there's both risks in doing OTR and MTM, but with MTM perhaps higher chance of doing something u like.. whereas for OTR, well, what if u cant find any one u like in Jan...

ever, good for u , got ur wedding band settled!! hehe.. Good luck in ur long awaited diamond ring eh!

Welcome Orange!!!!

Since got so many advices against rebonding, then I tink I might consider the perm suggested by my stylist. She showed me a Jap hairstyle magazine and there's 1 perm which she highly recommends for me. I told her my concerns abt no time to maintain the style in the morning. She said tat perm is low maintanence! It doesnt' look too "permed". Perhaps should consider it, after having years of straight hair.

Hi Shinchan

Tink for rebonding, the solution would remain inside your hair. So no matter how you bun your hair, when you wash it, it'll be back to straight after washing. Tat's wat happens to my hair.

Hi binbin

How is kickboxing? California fitness also has kickboxing classes. But I quite hesitant to join whenever im there!
 

shinchan

New Member
Binbin: Wow, u r taking kickboxing ah? Very strenous rite? Used to have aerobics classes, the instructor incorporated a 15min session of kickboxing in between, found it very 'xiong', cannot tahan ah...

What I do to work out is to play badminton with my FH every week lor... Hoprfully it'll help...

Hi Orange,

Welcome to the family!
happy.gif


Hi Jas,

I just rebonded my hair over the weekend. ;) Both my PS and actual day makeup artist told me not to rebond but I still went ahead. Cannot stand all the curls here and there... but I suppose it shld be okie lar, come March next year all the hair will grow out again
sad.gif


My hairstylist told me that shld rebond 1st then after abt 1-2 mths then highlight.

Pai seh pai seh, me and Dolphin keep on talking abt our bridal shop. ;)
 

binbin

New Member
hi hi jas....kickboxing is fun! esp with certain instructors....yes i understand ur hesitation about CF. I think it's coz there are many guys there....and the instructor may not know how to balance betw the guys's needs and the ladie's needs and stamina. and their classes dun need registration one...that means any number of ppl can go in, will be so packed. that's why i din sign up even though the CF guy called me up and offered me 1.5 yrs more.... hehehhee...i love AMORE!
happy.gif


well....just share with u something. I went to Toni & Guy last month to have a haircut. i thought of doing perming...either the jap or the ceramic perm, or even normal perm. my stylist asked me some questions and learn that i am a low maintenance person. she then invited the hair technican over to give me some consultation on whether i am suitable for perming. we were talking abt highlighting hair for a while. then ONCE the technician heard that i am low maintenance, he immediately advised against perming. coz he said any kinda perming requires me to maintain it or else it will not look as nice...... not sure....but perhaps u can consider again....i was thinking that toni & guy must be sincere and truthful in this advice. I mean, who don't want to earn more money?

for me, i have natural curl.....din want to rebond coz i hate to have perpertually straight hair...looks boring after a while. but recently felt it beri beri ley chey to maintain, so decided to do rebonding...but WILL wait until after customary....hehhehhee....

New Member
hi hi cc2, u rebonded ah? hehhee...yar, by march should grow out liao hor?
happy.gif
so u must be beri happy now wake up in the morning dun need to style....hehhehee..
happy.gif


shinchan, hhhmmm....yar, depending on instructor...kick boxing can be quite strenous, but it really make u sweat and that feels good!!! hehhehee....

wow, me and my FH also wanna play badminton. keep telling each other that but we NEBER get down to doing it consistently...if only we could be as disciplined as you.....SIGh.......

Hihi Good Morning,

Hi Jan,

Haha, I just popped in for while to see if there're any postings when I was at fiance's place on Sat.

I'm very tempted to MTM. But first I have to settle on a dream gown design first

I saw a gal carrying a booklet on Sengkang flats on sat!!!! thought they had WIS for Sengkang flats..... but i think she's travelling towards HDB Hub.... maybe you can go ask if there's any more flats in Sengkang area??
 

jan

Hi Jul!! oh, they didnt have our sizes at that branch and we wanted a new pair.... so, requested for them a customise a pair for us instead of checking for stocks at other outlets.... basically, the same design cos we decided not to change to platinum or partial yellow gold.....

hi,

i've just bought a resale 4 rm flat at woodlands ring road. but will onli get the flat abt 6 mths later. hmm.. nonetheless, not much renovation to be done. so everything is still ok
 

yvonne

New Member
Hi Ever,
My wedding band is around $700+ also, cant remember cos bf paid... haa haa! Mine was platimum with silver strip (got contour) not flat round one. Me bad in descripting also...kee kee!

My ROM dress is actually bustier so i requested to add on the spaghetti straps and shorten the length and tighten abit on the waistline tht's all.

Yeah im going next sat KB class at TB... already booked over wkend!

Huh... got sengkang flat on sale meh??? Hmm... i go check out the hdb site now!
 

jan

New Member
Yvonne,

think SK still got flats, but think it's mainly Exec and 5 rms in areas in Fernville, buangkok, and actually there are some anchorville and compassville side not taken up i think, coz i saw some the whole row of flats seems to be empty, dunno why the hdb doesnt want to open it for sale.. strange... But those are mainly exec apt..

Hi Binbin,

Ya.. rebonded for the 4th time already. Cannot stand my natural curls. Every 9 mths I will go rebond again ;) Feel so much lighter now and don't have to spend a lot of time to tidy my hair!

jul

New Member
Hi ever,

Ur rings are quite cheap, w/ diamonds too! How much was the discount? Did they charge you more for customising a new pair? I think most prob we'll be getting the rose gold ones from Fairy's Inc, coz fiance liked them so much. But then will be something simple coz he can't stand elaborate patterns :p

Hi Jan,

U started thinking abt designs for gowns already? *envy* I hope to get the reno contractor sourcing thing over with by mid Aug, so that I can start the gown & ring things. Can't wait!
happy.gif


Hi Yvonne,

I think a lot of flats leftover for WIS are 5 rooms. U might have to 'mentally prepare' to get 5 room first. Then when u get a 4 room, u'll be super happy!
 

yvonne

New Member
Hi Jan, Thanks!

I was at Fernville (Jul, yr place) yday nite... alot of empty units but when we look at the teletext/hdb website for Sengkang, only few units (low floor) yet is all taken up? I think HDB is holding on for stock take and probably will launch it again togther with Punggol on the next WIS???
 

ever

New Member
Hi jul, there's a 30% discount!!
wink.gif
no add'l charge, unless we want to change to partial yellow gold or platinum.... cos they dont hav our sizes mah.... so, they'll customise for us... saw some rose gold rings at Lee Hwa (you can try Aspial - bigger range) under the FJ range.... think you can go see and copy their designs.... but dont buy there!! cos its not very cheap.... maybe custom-make at Fairy inc cheaper than buying there!! they sell a pair for $2k+!!!

Jan, you think of designs and colours first, then proceed to look for bridal shops?!?!? heehehehee.... funny!!

yvonne, saw anything at the HDB website??
 

yvonne

New Member
Hi Jul,

Yeah, we also tell ourselves to prepare for the WORST and don put too HIGH HOPE on punggol/Sengkang areas cos all the leftover units limited choices, low floor, queueing of the flats, no 4 rooms or not so good location...etc. Hopefully, we dun make RUSH decision either and find a place which both of us feel comfortable enuf.

Hi binbin,
i hv downloaded some pix of the ring pillows.
Follow this link:
http://photos.yahoo.com/noriko_sy
(look under "Wedding accessories")

Drop me an email if yr fren is interested. My email addy is [email protected]. Will try to help in whatever ways i can... ;-) (Pls note that i have not really jazz up the ring pillow yet)

Hi cin_p,
I custom-made my dia jewellery and yes, they are real diamonds...hehhehe. I cld not find anything i like or to my expectations so i decided to custom make them.

i'm thinking of postponing my fotoshoot till early oct...dun noe whether it's too late then...

Yr bridal shop very efficient...unlike mine...so slow...me haven even go for fitting! my first fitting is scheduled in late Aug. ;-(

haiz...it's 5 more months and counting down to our big day!
 

jul

New Member
Hi Yvonne,

Yeah, it's most impt to decide w/ a clear head
happy.gif
We got our flat in a rush, also nvr tot properly whether we liked the place, or whether we're even going to get married! But thank God, no regrets
happy.gif


I think they're still some gd flats ard SK/PG, just that HDB will never let go the good ones in 1 shot. They're quite smart, u know???

Hi ever,

Oh, Lee Hwa/Aspial has rose gold rings too? Maybe next time when we're free can take a look
happy.gif
But 2k is ridiculous! I can get another diamond ring for that price! *hee*
 

yvonne

New Member
Hi Ever,
Nothing on the websites! Thk dos areas which Jan mentioned is not available/for sale rite now.
sad.gif

Wow... the WIS for sembawang seems like half has taken already!!!
 

jul

New Member
Hi Yvonne,

Dun be disheartened. HDB always likes to spring last minute surprises. But it's gd to try to get flat thru WIS. Coz last yr, future FIL was worried that HDB will not be building any more new flats bcoz of the huge surplus. So he kept urging us to get one quickly. Then really, till now, no new flats built! Just keep a look out k?

Gals!
Did I mention that I'm getting my keys in 3 weeks?

hi doremon, dun mention. i forgot what is the name, so i called up citysearch and ask for all the florists....hehehe called all 4 up directly. coz i know i will recognise the boss's name. OKie, the florist is called Future Florist, on the ground floor. u enter through the door nearest to the MRT exit. it's the 1st florist u come to. Look for CHew, who is the boss. I bought from him, good service. the number is 65388894. better to go early, coz sometimes u may need to order the roses in advance. Good luck! keep me updated yar..

Hi Jul!! yap, $2k++ is really exp, but they using rose gold and platinum.... mine is white gold, so really make a diff to the price range... hahahaha... true!! me cant make myself spend $2k++ on a pair of wedding bands!!

Hi yvonne, oh... never mind then.... wait for the Punggol WIS loh.... think this area is the best for you two, rite?? near parents and future PILs.... actually, Sembawang's flats are quite nice... and exterior looks very classy loh.... but guess the location not really suitable for us... heehehehehehee..... hhhmmm... i thought got some hope about the Sengkang flats when i saw the gal carrying the booklet... maybe she didnt mind the low floors loh...

Jul!!! congrats!!!! very excited, rite?? then you better get yourself busy these days and source for the contractor!!! my fren took one-two mths to confirm one ID firm!!! hahahaha.... think you need to go Expo quite often liao.... visit all the reno fairs.... so fun!!!

Hi ever,

When r u getting the keys for ur EC? R u gog to go to all the Expo fairs too? I'm very scared they'll hound me into signing leh :p

So far we visited 3 IDs, got the design from one. Dun really like, & very expensice too! They quoted us $26k! *faint*
 

jan

New Member
Hello!

Jul, u must be very happy and excited eh!! hehe.. i think u must really tell the ID wat u want and wat u dont, if not they'll usually design something very fanciful and with lots of other things to add on.. design wise, of coz will prob be nicer.. Guess u might need to forego some very nice designs if u want it cheaper...
happy.gif
Why dun u think of designing it urself? Instead of leaving the designs entirely to them, they'll sure ask u to do lots of stuff one usually...

Yup, Yvonne, dun have too high hopes first, otherwise greater disappointment!

ever, yup thinking of designs first so that can show it to designer next time mah.. hehe.. But currently shorlist (for the 100th times i'm saying this!) silverlining, dang and David Lim.. But waiting to hear from Yan abt David... For silverlining, quite scared that he's too busy to give a personalised service leh...

happy.gif


jan, since you prefer organza gowns, i think you shld go for silverlining... dont worry about him being too busy... we juz need to be more on the ball loh!!! heeehhehehehehee.... Dang's OTR gowns are usually duchess satin, so i think she's better with duchess satin...

Hi Jul,

Good News for you ya... got yr key finally!!!
Btw, how u gals got the house w/o the marriage cert huh (which my bf keep asking me abt it)???

Recently, S'pore Expo got this LIVING TREND exhibition ended yday! Too bad i saw it in the newspaper yday nite, so miss the chance!

Btw, IKEA is hving this SALE on 25 July 2003. Probably u gals can go get some 'tiny' things for the hse. But sure damn crowded...

hello!

yup, ever, ya, maybe i shldn't worry too much first... Probably i shld worry abt which to choose first!! haha..
Btw, showed my hubby to some of the photograhers website ie Robin, O studio, The Edge, Photospace..hehe.. currently think Robin and the edge seems to be quite good.. Would say O studio pics are nice, very artistic/journalistic kind, but we were thinking if make our PS so artistic then the little details and stuff can't be seen, no point, tho it'll be nice..haha..

Yvonne, actually can write letter to hdb, give them some reasons why u wanna delay, usually can work one! haha... me delayed for half a yr! Guess Jul has to delay for 1 year...
