(2004) Brides of year 2004

[oraia]

hi HP,

me not v familiar with the place, cos hse wun be ready till 2006 so i hvn't gone there to recee the neighbourhood yet... so nx time we can go each other's hse and 'lim teh' hor? hahaha.

brambles... see???!!! even fifi says u no need to lose anymore weight. *case closed* hehe.

fifi - i agree w u, if big wind blows, i tink brambles will be blown away. *wink*

hi secret garden,

ya ya... nx time we can org a hse visiting session

cool...
dun worry lah, no need do research on gown designs if u dun hv time lor.. i'm sure when u try on some of the gowns at divine, u will know instinctively which style u like!

correct. the st. greg therapeutic spa at novena got gym and pool. so i go there lor. but usu i go to the balinese spa at bugis for massage cos i like the hard hard type. ;p they currently dun hv classes... dunno y. last time got, but i hvn't attended b4. membership is for 1 yr. eh... last time i signed up was a promo during sars i think. so quite cheap. each mth i pay about slightly less than 150, but they gave me about $700 worth of vouchers to use for massages etc. so i tot quite worth it lor. my mem expiring liao in mar, so thinkg whr wan to renew or not. the ppl there v nice, the fac. quite new, and i use most of the fac. there. so quite worth it.
u int? mabbe if 2 ppl sign up, then got better rates.

[happybride]

hi all

Glad u gals enjoyed yourselves last night

 

[nivedita]

WAH... u all so prepared... i also dunno where to start...

anyway... need your opinions.. if say.. for ROM, we only asking both side families and some close friends.. will u all still wear ROM gown or something else?

 

[onee]

Naze : Thanks, in HIS plans lah... I oso got my 2 pairs of shoes from leapin lizard. Think Tangs' got some nice ones?

leeann : Hi Hi, I've booked with Jimmy (90222211) from I Do Imaging for my AD photography. He's within your budget. Due to budget constraints, we KIV videographer. If you eventually found good lobang, share share with me okie

 

[mist]

hi moonlight,

yah, that's what pple told me too...

but there are pple who say that no need to give pple same age or same generation as you, even though they are not married.... is it true?

hehehe..... eat after you are better loh.. i also eat too much pineapple tarts, shrimp roll and bak kwa liao, my throat also abit sore... so i drink some warm honey and it's quite effective leh..

 

[fantasy]

Oneeu, dont worry k... all the june brides here will be keeping our fingers cross for you.

Cubby, I dont think it's a must to have a bew pair of shoes for the AD itself. However depending on the plc that u want to go for PS. My girlfrd who wore her AD shoes for PS told me that her shoes are abit dirty and damage (she wore it on the beach) after the PS. So that's a factor that you have to consider but not wearing AD shoes for PS wld also mean you need to pay for a second pair.

Leeann, welcome! You can try contacting Kai of Kalyedoscope. They usually have some promotional pkg. Hope this helps

 

[eternity]

Niv, when it your turn for the actual day customary, you will know the usefulness of keeping a To-Do list... there are just so many things that you need to take note of...
getting old liao, cannot rely totally on my brain to remember all the upcoming events...

it's all up to you... but personally i feel that if it's a simple event at the registry followed by say a lunch/tea reception, can go for a nice, simple dress... OTR or MTM, it's up to you lor... maybe you can try Empire or Allure Chartix... heard the ROM dress range there is quite nice...

and if you like something more grand (closer to a gown type), then maybe you want to choose to take on the rental package... cheaper oso... if you going for the short dress kind, can choose to keep it...

my ROM dress has been hanging in the wardrobe untouched till today...

 

[cubby]

hi leeanne,
welcome to join us

hehe.. PP brides got a few lobang 4 us right? did u check it out??

hi apr,

Another long weekend coming up, I'm going to miss these long holidays from next week onwards, hee hee

Hi Leeann,
My colleague Koah Fong is a photographer, you may want to check out his webpage and if you're interested, drop him an email. His prices are very very reasonable! I'll be hiring him for my wedding ^_^..Think he's also listed in this website, under the photographers.

[dabee]

Hi all:
i am back!!! this thread is active again.

 

[stubbilla]

hi secret garden, me not yet source for ID. may just go for min reno coz budget very tight. this year, need to spend on wedding and reno. beside, we not much savings as my FH is the breadwinner for his fammily, his bro still studying somemore. We din expect to collect keys so fast, thought might need to wait 2 mth at least, that's why focus more on wedding banquet venue first as that's the most urgent thing.

hi oraia and piglets, we all stay so near

oraia, how come your flat is only ready in yr 2006? I don't remember seeing any flat under construction, unless yours is condo?

 

[stubbilla]

moonlight, hope you feeling better.

me gained a kg over the festive period. hiaz~! all the pineapple tarts and chocolates.

 

[leeann]

Hi Onee
Thanks! Does Jimmy has any website that I can access?

Hi fantasy
I am considering Kai too, have not called them, maybe this weekend. You using them?

Hi Cubby
hee hee, I am sure you find me familiar hor... yup, I am also from PanPac yahoo group. Did check it out but still uncertain which one to choose. I myself ve enquired Yew Kwang, GreyMatter, Vividshot and Jayce Goh.
Anybody heard of Jayce Goh?? He shares the same office with Wedding TV which specialise on videography and montage. Am contemplating to use both of them so that I do not ve to search another one.

Hi Bow_bow
Thanks for your recommendation. How much is his charge huh?

 

[leeann]

BTW ladies

Talking abt PS, may I know your photographer allows you to have how many outfits for both indoor and outdoor shooting? Mine only 3 leh... not too sure whether is this too little... anyone can advise?

 

[nivedita]

ohhh sorry eternity... i forget la... i read
heheh

hihi dabee...
this is niv... new to this forum

 

[dear_dear]

hi cubby,

At first i m totally low morale, I dun even want to see the mirror. When I touch my head, I feel so sad and almost drop my tears. A feeling like suddenly so lost. When I start to change shampoo and it got better but now its hair dropping problems. Everyday when I got home seeing all the hairs on the flr, I m so scared and my hubby always came back after 12am so no one to pour my sorrows...

Never mind, tomorrow will be better. I will take ur advice & thks.

 

[apr]

Hi Leeann,

For Indoor, I change a total of 6 outfit, and for outdoor, I only uses 1, cos did not want the hassle of looking for washroom to change.
However, I guess it all depends on what is stated in ur package with ur BS.

 

[pebbles]

Hello everyone!!! Its TGIF!!

Ino,
hihi, yup, it's been a long time since i posted, was so tied up with work , since i have time now, come in and kaypo lor..ahaha...
must upload your photos soon ah then we can see , can't wait to see how beautiful your wedding looks and all your gowns...so how was yr HM?? oh where did u go for your HM ah..

i didn't engage Bettles@ work for my PS, no $$ for them ah..i just had my PS with Bzone photographers and they were very nice..

think my photos will turn out good and that's when my headache will come.....must control myself from doing too much damage to my pocket..ehehe

Forest,
Its really fun to go BS shopping rite...and it's good that your hubby goes along with u too cos though he's not the star when it comes to the wedding cos all the focus is on the bride when u r in the BS, still yr hubby needs to be comfortable with the photographers , designer, i think it helps...my hubby gets along so well with the BZone staff, he feels so comfortable when he goes there, everyone like his fren ah...

 

[pianokey]

Hi Leeann!
I know who you are! =P

 

[ingenue78]

hihi pebbles!

gosh...so early do posting ah...
me no mood to work also leh...esp after the loonnnggg break. i went on a package tour to japan. thank god tt i met 2 fellow honeymoon couples as well, one of which patronize SB forum as well...hehehehe...

my honeymoon was great! tho i can't wait for another getaway now...hehehhee....thinking of how to celebrate valentine day now...

[smallonion]

hi Ino..u r back, how ur HM trips!!!! Must be real enjoy. binbin & Cin_p did not MIA, is just u went for HM so never really see them, hehehehe

 

[nnyl]

hello!

beri busy these days with work. No time to really post any msg. only can read.

The outing was great! Talked non-stop and we found out really how Small singapore is. Fancy going to the same wedding dinner.

Etelle, u haven't confirmed your BS? Must try gowns before making decision on OTR or MTM. I'm sure any BS will have gowns that will help to cover up tummy.

 

[pikota75]

[nnyl]

hi pikota75

If u are talking abt the chinese restaurant in JCC, can tell u the food is gd. I have been there for lunch before, esp love those double-boiled soup and the pancake dessert.

 

[fish]

Hi Mel

You may want to try Metro. I bought mine at Metro Paragon. Brand is Vivie. Its a pair of silver open-toe shoes with 3 straps of swaroski crystals. Very sparkling. My FH and colleagues like the shoes very much. Original price is $109 but I bought it during the 20% storewide off period last Christmas and paid $87. You may wish to wait for the next 20% storewide sales. Maybe after Hari Raya, they will have one.

Hi Leeann, welcome to the thread!
