Hi Happybride,

Ya, nid to do some advance homework first, esp for my case where the reno is so near AD.

Ya, imagine, if u buy 20K, 1% = $200 extra and u can buy a coffee table with that amt liao.

Hey Ladies,

I am also a Dec 2004 bride. Can I join in to share some thoughts on wedding planning?

 

[canny]

Hey Zhu Zhu & Oraia,

Me also Dec 12th 2004 bride. But my wedding venue is not in Sg for that date as I will be hosting my wedding in 2 diff countries.

 

[jamci]

shinchan, yeah i heard from my dad. The implication, think fire and water cannot mix together and they said that it's no good.
Since u had already did, then place a pot of plants between the sink and stove to neutralize it.

 

[blim]

I remember there was once when I was on business trip. I got up in the middle of the night to go to toilet. Blur blur wake up only got a rude shock. Scared the wits out of me. The bed was facing the mirror and I was wearing white and had long hair... After that, always make it a point to cover the mirror with towel if the hotel room configuration is such that the mirror faces the bed directly.

 

[crispy]

Hi everyone,

Nice to see so many Yr 2004 Dec brides!! Im new to this threat and me too a Dec 2004 bride. It falls on a Mon, 6th Dec, does it sound weird?

Btw, I have confirmed my venue but not on the bridal shop yet, after reading this threat, seems like everyone has done so much already.. me getting worried liao.. hehe

 

[piglets]

Hi crispy
it not late to find the bridal shop now... So don't worie..

 

[shinchan]

Blim, hahaha... that's funny

Btw, I once had a same experience. Was shopping in Seiyu Bugis, suddenly noticed that there's a girl who resemble me alot at the far corner. Took a closer look, then realised that IT"S MYSELF!!!! hahaha...

Jamci, maybe will look ard for suitable plants. Any feedback for stove facing toilet???

 

[canny]

Hey Crispy,

U still looking for bridal shop?! I got my wedding gown already and is looking around to get a bs to make an evening gown.

Wan to exchange ideas with me?

 

[hoshi5]

I also dun really know... I think it depends on ur dialect...

 

[crispy]

Hi Canny,

wow you are fast, but piglets assured me no worries..

ya..me still looking for bridal shop, yet to confirm. But have in mind a few, Silverlining, Divine couture and amanda lee, tan yoong.

Btw, which bridal shop service did u engaged? you did not get the package for your WG and EG, u go ala-cart?

 

[fi_fi]

Hi Piglets,

wow.. u so many things settle liao!!! dat's fast. me now onli booked d BS wif Wedding News but haven't confirm banquet. U manage 2 book Pan Pac... their ballroom vri nice. so envy... did u book it thru their promotion? its seem selling like hot cakes.

Hi Crispy,

oh ya, u sholist silverlining... wow, their gown vri nice. but 2 bad, they dun provide full packages.

 

[canny]

Hey Crispy,

I am not living in SG thus will be getting my wedding gown outside of SG. However, I will be going back to SG next week to do some of my wedding planning. Hmm... I am thinking of getting an evening gown from Tan Yoong. Heard many good stuff about him.

Where is ur banquet @?

 

[jamci]

shinchan...huh...wow u really need to put the plants all over the kitchen liao....hahaha

U also need to hang another plant beside your toilet door. My stove also almost face the toilet a little bit. Got to buy a small pot of plant to hang....

 

[jamci]

shinchan, luckily u found out the truth if not u'll go back and question your mum "who is the another twin"

Maybe that why our folks told us not to place mirror directly the bed lor...scared we wake up and had a heart attack.

Death cause : Killed by Mirror

 

[doremon]

[canivy]

[crispy]

Hi canny,

i heard a lot of good stuffs on Tan Yoong too, but think the price is pretty steep too. My banquet is at Meritus Mnadarin, how abt urs?

Hi fi_fi,

Siverlining have full package u noe, even cars if you want. Did u make a mistake? Which BS did u engaged?

Hi doremon,

thks for your reply, i will go check it out after tis.

 

[bitrix]

Hi Mocha, sorry I do not have the full address for the one at Jurong . I read this somewhere in this thread maybe you can check around.

I hope someone here can help Mocha.

 

[tsubame]

Ha Blim, that's what I'm afraid of too, getting 'Killed by Mirror' like jamci says

. Thinking of getting something lacy to drap over.

shinchan, no need forest lah, garden can already.

BTW, I bought a small indoor garden fountain (u know, those square square stone ones)from a neighbour who was moving house. Cos I like natural theme what. Now headache where to place it, cos my house parquet flooring (the natural thing again) except kitchen. Kitchen no space, and u know parquet can't withstand moisture what...

Furthermore cos water feature so got involve a bit of fengshui... Dun want his mum to protest after we assemble it

Maybe we'll convert it into small indoor garden corner and dun use the water feature

Hi blim, your PS 9th. So how you doing now? I just went facial today. Need to look around for earrings to go with evening gown accessories cos BS dun have a matching pair. Now a bit can't remember the exact color I suppose to shop for

. Looks like need to visit BS to see the color...

 

[canny]

Hey Cripsy,

Thatz wat I heard about Tan Yoong too.

My reception in SG will be in Four Seasons. on Dec 20th and Actual Day will be on Dec 19th. Have u picked a bs yet or been to Tan Yoong? Care to share some ideas with me?

Hi Doremon, Sandy and Puzzlerain,

I think we share the same AD Dec 19th although my reception will be on Dec 20th. Where are ur banquets at?
