[momoechan]

hi ladies
wah, very active today hee hee.

hi pikota
yes, usually like this, the guys normall 'bo chap' and the gals are the ones doing all the work for the house and the wedding, sigh.

hi ivory
yah, she's really lucky. i was surprised that she went all the way to australia just to study dance. i know she loved dancing but didn't know she liked it so much. i agree with feroy, u'd better take good care of urself, this year will be very hectic, try and get as much rest as possible, don't worry about updating the info, it's nice to have but not compulsory

hi nickel
hee hee, if ur hubby also bought a cake, then both of u gain weight together lah.

after fri, just take less fatty food and gain back ur figure lor

anyway, u look pretty slim, so, u won't be able to gain much weight, don't worry

 

[mandy99]

Hi Dabee,

initially shortlisted alan dai. But wanted to pend him becos my friend and sister in law both say they know of a good photographer.. so waited lor..
in the end turn up that both photographer that they wanted to recommend to me is the same person.... Alan Dai

Have seen his works before... and they are real good... so no worries in having him for my AD..

 

[forest]

hi kkwai,
heee... yup, i cant wait to meet karen leh...

hmm... y dun u try out karen's feb promo??? at least can do a trial first b4 u decide??? actually there's been lotsa good comments on her bacial treatments on treating marks for the back... so, its worth considering... jus my thots...

hi feroy,
so cool to rent a yacht for ur PS??? rem to share with us ur pics aft tt!!! abt islands, im totally clueless abt tt leh... sorrie, cant help u on tt!!

hi ivory,
aiyo.... rem to take good care of urself!!! must ve sufficient sleep.... n drink lotsa water n juices!!!!

 

[nickel]

yap...today is pretty active...sometimes really have to read many times lor..if not i very blur one!

ivory..
rest well gal..dun stress urself k.migraine can be a terrible thing..take care k..

yvonne..
yap..then we will have cakes for the next morning bfast and lunch too! but to think of it, i think he not soooo romantics lah, so not a problem..

forest/ c0co..
of course can..maybe after vday..then can share share our story with one another..my hubby is going oversea next week, guess i will be missing him liao..

 

[feroy]

heehee... actually feeling both excited and apprehensive abt the yacht thingy... crossing my fingers that my stomach won't start playing yoyo on that day and getting sea sick... if not... my face will look as green as the water... hehe... then cannot take pics and enjoy the 'outing'...

 

[nickel]

feroy..

are u a sea sick person? me abit lor, that time took the boat to ubi, me abit want to vomit liao..i dun know whether yacht is the same anot..dun eat too full that day, hope that help!

 

[feroy]

hi nickel,

thanks for the advice... me not so bad la... nv sea sick b4 in my few times on a boat (those to Pulau Ubin type)... hoping that it will not happen on that day...

 

[forest]

hi nickel,
sure sure.... we can always arrange

hi feroy,
if u r really sea sick... u can try to get those sea sick tablets tt will help.... its really not worthwhile if u feel sick n cant hve ur photoshoot....

 

[feroy]

oh din know that they have such tablets... so do i take them b4 i go onboard or do i take them only when i feel giddy, etc?

 

[babysheep22]

Feroy,

Normally I think you take them about an hour before ur boat ride. Give it some time to react. The side effect may be u feel drowsy though. So maybe u want to consult ur doctor / pharmacist.

I have sea sickness problem myself, u can get the tablets at any pharmacy, need to get the pharmacist to dispense though.

Nickel, Forest, & Coco

don't forget to include me in the outing. I wanna join in the 38 too!!

Ivory,

Take care of yourself, k? Try to sleep well and eat well. You sound like me, working till got migraine. For me, I work so late that I always fall sick and never have time to spend with my family and hubby. In fact, I got no energy to supervise my house reno. Everything is left to my hubby to do. I so jialat hor?? Sigh. =(

kkwai

I strongly recommend Karen. I took up her January promotion package. Though I've only tried one facial so far, I must say she's professional, really knows her stuff, and friendly. She will ask u things like when is ur wedding date / photoshoot date so she can monitor ur skin condition for u. Give her a try! Maybe next time we can schedule our facials together!

 

[blueblue]

Hi HP

Me considerin whitelink, MB...but hvnt even step in their stores yet...seems tat Sophia is quite popular...me confused...hvnt make up my mind...

 

[stubbilla]

hi irenes,
don't go for the BS because it's popular. u should choose one that you yourself like. everyone's taste is different.

for my case, I can't make up my mind on the budget yet..haha..

don't mind spending more to look beautiful but on other hand, scare will overspent.

 

[feroy]

babysheep,

okie, thanks! I'll check b4 my PS...

 

[stubbilla]

hi adidas,
at least u signed up with WL. my colleague was with WL, so heard good comments abt WL. <font color="ff0000">lucky u~!</font>. if the first BS u talked to is one that's not good, then that's dangerous.

 

[skylar]

Hi Niv,

Well, for the outdoor photoshoot rite? I dun think there will be any change of gowns lah, coz it will be very inconvenient lah, not forgetting only the photographer follows u all ard leh, no one else liao…. So who to help u with the gowns? For most BS, I would reckon that there are only 1 outdoor gown for shooting only.

But for indoor shoot, of coz u will have quite a lot to change lah, I think about 4-5. should be no problem wor, coz got the staff there to help u.

Hi Eternity!
Thumbs up for ur hard work! Well Done! Your detail breakdown made it easier for us!

But my venue not fixed yet lor….still deciding ….hehehee….
I see a lot of people here all Hyatt eh? Why ah? good ah??

Yeh lor, must do facial leh, but dunno wat to do yet lor….
U know I got this frd ah, I think 6 mths before her wedding hor, she go facials like no body’s biz leh, then still must go this that, do everything head to top lor…

You mean u got 3 set of gowns (BG, EG, TD) rite? U can bring either 1 of them for outdoor ah? then wat happen if u go to those grassy areas then ur gown spoil hor?
For me rite? I also choose my gowns liao also 3 sets but then they say that out of these 3 sets rite? I am not allowed to bring them outdoor, my photographer will choose for me another 1 gown that is meant for outdoor one…… (they have a selection of gowns specially meant for outdoors – I guess more prone to rough wear liao) hehehe….
Yeh, all indoor &amp; outdoor PS gowns not given alteration lor,……

Hi Dabee,
Hurray!! Ur gowns gonna be ready soon?? That’s good! Another thing off ur mind lor hor? So u dun intend to take outdoor ah? just indoor with ur doggies? Woohh….. so cute! Btw, wat breeds are they?

Actually quite true lor, if ur ROM &amp; customary not very near together rite? Then u will be very sianz to do the customary wedding again lor, &amp; yet if u have everything together, it will be Oh-God! So rush rite? Sigh……

 

[momoechan]

morning ladies
how's everyone today? one more day to the weekend, can't wait, can finally sleep a little later

hi nickel
hee hee, so, ur hubby is the same as mine lah, not an ounce of romantic bone in him. then, u won't have to worry about him buying a cake tomorrow

for me, confirm nothing happening this sat cos we'll be busy shopping for our new pl, so that we can rest on sun.

hi babysheep
u'd better take care of urself too, sounds like the singapore lifestyle is really bad, young ladies like urself are already experiencing migrane, better try and slow down ur pace if u can.

 

[onee]

Hi Gals.

Why this thread so quiet for the past week? Most prep seen to and now resting for the busy period coming in a month or two har?

Girlfriend : Taking a short break now. Meanwhile waiting for photographer to call for collection of album and hotel hotelier to meet for preliminary discussion for dinner arrangement. Think the pace will pick up in end March for most of us

Meanwhile I'm browsing for musics and other misc so that the next few months will not be crazily buzi

Cubby : How's your photoshoot? Your proofs ready? Mine are ready. I'll try to scan them over the weekend

 

[nnyl]

Morning ladies

The msg here too plentiful that i have difficulties trying to follow.

well, to let u gals know a gd news, my hse est TOP is b/f to Aug

Now really cracking heads on renovation. Tks to those who send their contacts to me.

VD this sat hor, not expecting flowers n choco, so expensive, rather spend the money elsewhere. Anyway, like wat my 'romantic' hubby says if we are happy, everyday is VD. *ha*

 

[eternity]

gintonic,

can you let me know more about your facial package? wat does it includes? do u knoe if they are still having the promotion?

if u dun wan to pen long message here, can email to me at [email protected]

 

[eternity]

skylar,

your venue not set ah??? heehee, i thot comfirmed liao... so still considering plaza? just update the list once u have confirmed!!

yah, considering to start facial lor... then later on still must go around and try out manicure and pedicure... anyone has good recommendations?

me haf three set and i thought can bring all three leh on the PS... my BS designer even brainstormed for me which gowns to change at the studio and outdoor leh... one of my outdoor location will be at the club that i'm having my AD dinner... so most likely the change will only happen there...

will choose another one or two outdoor location and at those locations, most likely won't be changing and will only take picture with the gown that i set off from the studio lor....

 

[forest]

hi feroy,
yah, i think babysheep is rite.. need to take it abt an hr b4.. but im not so sure if it'll hve side effects... my hubby used to take it b4 he goes out for deep sea fishing... n he's nv complained of giddiness... so prob the side effects is up to individual...

hi babysheep,
wow... u managed to take the jan promotion for karen ah... i'm regretting not going to see her then... missed out on the great promotion.. tt promo is really very worth it!!!!

i'll update u gals on my visit with her aft next wkend...

okies.. will def include u in our 38-ing...

 

[eternity]

Dabee,

when u ROM four years ago, did u decide to have this customary wedding a few years later???

my ROM and customary is two years difference... but it had to be this way because my hubby was studying... only now that we have the time and $$ to plan for customary... actually i dun mind going thru the customary, think it's rather nice to haf, going thru the traditional customs... i was initially hoping to be able to get off the hook for the dinner, but cannot... so end up having everything lor....

 

[rabbitwsk]

Cheers

 

[momoechan]

hi lynn
congrats, so now u're able to get ur new place earlier

if u really want to start getting quotes early, u may want to call up the developer and get a copy of the floor plan first.

let me know if u need contacts for blinds. i'm a lazy person, so, using blinds for the whole house hee hee. this contact is the distributor of blinds, so, his charges are very reasonable.

hi forest
don't forget to include me in the 38 session as well leh

hi rabbitwsk
i've got nothing planned, just more shopping for the home this sat

 

[blurry]

hi ladies,

i'm new to this website and am really glad to find all these useful advice.

my planned wedding is somewhere in oct/nov. we have got a couple of dates. however, having read all the postings, i realise that i'm very "late" in terms of booking the banquet and the bridal package...can anyone offer any advice on which area shd i touch on 1st? i'm so lost..

thanks

 

[nickel]

hi everyone, a warm greeting from me to you!!

lynn..
that a good news for u..guess u will be busy doing ur house and running ard to hunt for things..happy searching leh..juz beep us if u need any help..all of us are more willingly to throw in our ideas..

rabbitwsk..
glad to see u here again..me bought a shaver last year liao so this year really run out of ideas..me dun want to spend to much unnessessary money now, must save up for wedding and house!

hmmm..me actually bought a card and paste our photo inside, a t-shirt and do a silly thing..that is i went to his place to "steal" one of his younger days (3years old) photo together with mine and scan it together into a A4 size paper..get it!? now thinking of buying a photo frame or laminate it..

 

[gintonic]

Hi eternity,
The facial package that I signed up is a basic facial lor. Cleanse->Exfoliate->Extraction->Toning(Mask)->Mosituring.I just brought one of my gal fren there on Tuesday. She like it lor therefore she also sign up for the 15 sessions.

Well as for the mani/pedi, I also sign up last year. I sign up with Nail Art by Serene(one of the thread). The package is $239 for 6 sessions of mani/pedi. So one full sessions is actually less than $40. But what I can suggest is that you just try one or two sessions with the one you like before signing up with them. I tried two full sessions at usual price which is $50 before I signed up with them. I find their skills is good and their method is quite systematic lor. Hope this will help you to make a decision.

If you keen in the facial package and the mani/pedi, just let me know. Maybe I can introduce to you if you don't mind (heehee no conmission earned).

 

[secret_garden]

hi hi

hi binbin,
how's your food tasting? yummy?

 

[nickel]

welcome to our active thread blurry..
dun be so lost..u have us to help u..

guess u havent booked your BS right, start now..ask ur hubby/ close friend to go round a few that u like and remember to go back and do some "homework" before u sign with them..if possible, ask to try their gowns to see whether u like it anot..to me, most importantly is that u r able to click with the ppl..once u sign up, tell them your big day and they will do the planning for you, eg..first fitting, PS..

of course..u can start to hunt for your banquet liao..set your budget and list all the ones u like..of course dun be sad if they are fully booked liao coz many ppl actually booked it one year ago..so u really need to run a few places to search for your favourite hotel/resturants..happy searching k..
hmmm..i think this will make u busy for the whole of feb liao..do keep us update k..

[pikota75]

hi feroy,
oh u mean both you and your hubby share a yatch..so nice,hmmm i can suggest a place that do not require you to go out the sea..have you heard of ponggol marina?not sure if the name has been changed as their management changed last yr..it's a nice place too and usually before reaching the marina,you will drive a open field that is full of the lalang grass...very nice and windy place.but not many ppl goes there as the grass are mostly quite tall and not very convinent unless you have transport.
my FH has somewhere in mind already and for me,anywhere he suggest is fine with me cos i trust his idea lor
..hee )

 

[binbin]
