[zenn]

Hi blueangel,

You can consider this :

http://www.tienfoto.com/

My gf engaged him for AD photography n v happy wif his work & service. The website is rather outdated. It's best that you meet up with him to view his recent work. He is charging $680 for AD photography n $680 for AD videography.

 

[excite]

oh ya, 4got to add in too, if majority can make it on friday, juz stick with the plan. I can join other time, if possible

Cheers

 

[manolo]

Oh, sorry Zenn... getting very confusing, so many of us!! Yeah, hope Ray Ong does a good job too...

All this wedding planning, very distracted at work leh!

 

[tanlea]

Hi Zenn

The website is indeed rather outdated but he seems very experienced. I will make appointment with him. Thanks for your recommendation.

I met up with another videography company yesterday starting with a R (not allowed to post on the board) and will be meeting Ninetrogen and Envistar tomorrow. Heh heh. Keep you gals informed. I am working hard!

 

[oraia]

hi haloya,

great! if u can get ur ad photographer and makeup artist to come again on 20th at no extra charge, tt'll be excellent!!

wah..... the golden renaissance theme u mentioned is the special "theme weddings" that hyatt has right? ya ya... that one v expensive! personally, i think i'll just go w the standard package.. it's just a venue! ;p and the room itself is already quite nice.

hi fizz,

i didn't know BV has in-hse shows in apr. must we call and "book" a place to attend? hmm. would love to go down and take a look.

hi joan,

fr what i heard, silouhette and divine are not bad. if u like low low backs, divine is quite know for pretty designs.

 

[binbin]

[zenn]

Hi manolo,

[lazyger]

Hi girlfriend, we spent about $2600 on the additional 50 photos plus that we can collect back all the photos we took during our PS (those 4Rs used for selection). Not sure if the price is reasonable. What do you think? My BS is Yvonne Creative. How many photos did you choose?

My hotel told me that we'll meet one month prior. We don't have any food tasting session though. Do you think it is too rush? We thought it might be better to meet earlier so to settle the invitation card first.

Hmm.. live band for a wedding. Ooh... I would love to have one for my wedding.... sad to say, I can't afford one.

. It would be nice, esp when you and your guests can dance in the ballroom.

 

[tsubame]

Hi ladies, must sleep. Else become pandas then have to put thick thick makeup to cover.

Was running around today trying to confirm which colleague will attend. Then have facial appt, then for final fitting and choose tea dress. I thought my tea dress was to be my outdoor gown, turns out I was to choose another gown.

Was suppose to meet up with bridal car driver in the end no time... And I haven't meet up with my AD photographer yet too.

Then of cos, there's the banquet details to settle too...

 

[babysheep22]

Hi ladies!!

I've been busy all day. Therefore no time to come in and check SB forum.

Please go ahead and propose anything for the meeting, I'll try my best to make it! =) Altho I just landed a major project that threatens to occupy all my waking hours (and some sleeping ones) in the whole of March, I'll try my best best to be there!

c0co, i contact u for more details ok??

the forum is getting more and more crowded. good! very re4 nao4. Welcome to all the girls that have just joined us. Come in here to 38 anytime. Looking forward to meeting up...

[fairymoss]

Wow Ju,

That's a lot of pics! I would love to have another 50 as well, but too bad, my BS is charging me $95 per pcs, so it's gonna be $4750 for another 50. Don't think can spend so much on the pics. We got 30 in the package, so maybe top up another 10 the most. Hubby say hor, I must pay for the extras lor. He's not going to pay leh.

Would be meeting coordinator in mar. food tasting in mar and going to select the cards this weekend. The shop wasn't open on Sunday too bad, otherwise we would have gone down last Sunday.

Girlfriend,

Liveband is a great idea, but an expensive one leh.

My ideal is to have a harpist playing music, but hahaha..in my dreams maybe, too ex liao. Perhaps would get one of my friends to play the piano, uh..but she may not want to even though she got a dip. in piano.

 

[july04]

hi zenn,

think jul's someone else... but i share her wedding date!

 

[tealeaf]

Hi lydia81,

you can visit www.atkins.com

I would advise not to follow strictly in the sense of eating oily stuff liberally coz very heaty & unhealthy.

Me into 3rd day of programme liao, lost 1 kg but the 1 kg not easy ah coz no carbo so now crave for carbo ... hee hee

I was 58 kg, now 57 ... "jia1 you2" to me & to u too =)

[stubbilla]

<font color="0000ff">hi doremon,</font>
well, well-known photographers tend to charge more. on average, those I ask one all charge about $100-$150 for separate banquet date.

<font color="aa00aa">hi chobits,</font>
have u shortlisted any contractors? I have visited 3 so far, all recommended by friends. it's really very competitive market so the prices quoted also very near. difficult to make a choice.

 

[stubbilla]

Hi rabbitwsk,
yupz, I normally read forum postings at night, mostly late at night. daytime no time to read coz working

I got the Dang's package coz I emailed them for enquires b4. but I feel so bad to make appt to go there, talk abt their packages, see their gowns, then don't sign up loh.

 

[piglets]

Hi Hayashi

Me fierce??? Than you have to ask Oraia and Secret Garden. They might tell you how i look like??? Me not the fierce kind, is those sporty type... Like to play...

Hi all goin for my trial makeup today

 

[nickel]

hi morning gals..
was too busy yesterday afternoon with work, was unable to log in to 38..

i am fine with the date too..really sooo happy that some of you tried to cater for me!! thickskin hor

so where are we meeting?

me went for a run at east coast yest evening, was quite a good one but guess i was too tired from work, cant really run far..i am planning to run everyweek to maintain a healthy lifestyle, so who is interested?

i think will be fun if we can run together and thereafter go for dinner..

yvonne..
i know a way but i dun know whether its work..u try "cutting" your double chin with your 2nd and 3rd fingers..i heard that from a beautician..

forest..
take good care of urself k..drink alot of water!

babysheep22..
work hard but must also rest well k..hope that u will be able to make it for the meeting..juz keep us update k..

recently i have been having gastic problems and i feel very "acidic" in my tummy..quite uncomfortable lor..any good remendy? thanx!

 

[babysheep22]

harlow ladies!!!

good morning!! hope all u gals have a wonderful day at work / home!

so far, i am ok with 2 mar as well as either 12 / 19 march. i have not planned anything on those dates.

c0co and nickel

thanx for the concern. indeed very busy. left office at midnite last nite. hehe. it's v common in this line lah. Lynn used to be in the same line as me - accounting.

nickel,

i am looking for a running kaki too. altho i am very slow nowadays. lost stamina due to years of inactivity. where do u normally run?

and regarding your gastric, have u been missing meals? or eating them later than usual? take small meals in between.

i find digestive biscuits with hot milo quite effective. also, keep a bottle of liquid mylanta available in the office. works wonders to get rid of the excess acidity. sometimes i get this hyperacidity problem due to stress oso.

 

[blurry]

hi yvonne...yesterday i checked wif my gf...a few of them uses those body shaping cream...u know those where u apply to problem area and massage? a few of them uses that and they say it works..maybe u can check over at those cosmetic counter and ask them if its appropriate?


Hi Coco..okie...i'll try to join u guys after my launch...will give u a tinkle when i'm done to check where u gals are...(just like the last time?

)

 

[nickel]

babysheep22..

usually i will be running at east coast on every wed but i stopped for 3 months liao, so when i went to run yest evening, me nearly peng boy!

wat is liquid mylanta?where can i get it?

my stomach is very sensitive kinda lor, a little bit oso cant, so oso giving me alot of problem..guess i didnt take good care of it since young..

 

[momoechan]

Good Morning, u gorgeous brides of Oct 2004

wow, so happy to see so many postings in the morning, this thread is definitely the MOST happening, u gals rock!

hi c0co
u're so 'ke qi', should thank u for taking the initiative to organise this outing. i'm looking forward to meeting up with everyone next Tue

hi nickel
'cutting' the double chin? ok, i'll try that to, u can see how desperate i am, will try anything to get rid of my double chin! hee hee

i plan to start running as well, but lazy to travel to east coast hee hee. the earliest i can start is most likely Apr, after the house has been settled.

acidic stomach? yah, like what babysheep said, have u been skipping meals? that can be one reason why u're encountering this problem. either that or start cutting down on food with a lot of acid, eg oranges, lemon, sourish stuff, etc

hi babysheep
oh dear, u only left at midnight? make sure u take care of urself and try and make up for the rest over the weekend

hi blurry
use the body shaping cream on the double chin? ok, i'll try that as well, thanks

do try and make it on tue, we only had a short time with u last Thur, will be great to catch up more with u in person

 

[nnyl]

Morning!!

Poor babysheep, must take care. I know it's tough there but endure another yr or two, then u can consider moving out to commercial and have a decent personal life.

Hi nickel, maybe it's stress? I have stress gastric one. Try to relax a bit okie. take care...

Tues is fine with me.

so which outlet are we going to?

btw, one of my frens is doing AD photo also. He tells me too late lah, engage already, so promise to intro him to the rest of brides. He did for my fren, pics are gd, not sure abt his price tot, so u need to contact him to find out more. Meanwhile here's the link to his website. Hope this msg wont be deleted.

[kokchien]

<font color="aa00aa">Hi Ju,</font>

<font color="0000ff">I also added photos, but they have a package that consists of 10 magazine style pages, i.e. can fit up to 9 photos(of the same series) in 1 page. That package cost me $1k and I think i added about 50 photos (counting average of 5 photos per page). They also let me take back those photos which I chose, but not the rejected ones lor...=(
Even then, I had problem selecting those series that I wanted, haha. But I'm glad they had this package. Cos their individual photo would cost $75 each...50 x $75 = $3750! Eeks...Well, hope the pics turn out nice and well!</font>

<font color="aa00aa">Hi Girlfriend,</font>

<font color="0000ff">Liveband definitely sounds interesting, but they cost quite alot leh...=/...I was thinking of asking some of my fh's choir to sing some songs for us, but frighten not enough time or how they going to shift the equipment or enjoy the dinner...so we decided not to afterall..</font>

 

[postpet2]

hi ladies,

its been a long time since i came into this thread...

saw some comments abt hainanese being very fierce...hehehe...

my hubby is a true blue hainanese and from family gatherings, i kinda notice that in general, they are not fiece in nature. BUT they like to talk very loudly.even if the other party is just standing right in front, they must talk very loudly as well...esp if getting excited abt a topic... so from an outsiders(like me) point of view, it seems that they are very fierce..actually no lah...must get used to their culture...

how you girls doing?

 

[nickel]

thanx gals for all your concern..me will take good care of myself..i think its due to stress lor coz my work is currently going through some changes and everyone is trying to adjust to it..me juz taken my weight last nite, and drop 2kg leh, guess i am too stress liao, will try to relax man!will be better after seeing u all..

 

[shinchan]

Binbin &amp; Blim, me having the same problem too... only manage to sleep at 2 every nite... Tarepanda liao...kekeke...

Was lying on my bed yest nite, thinking of things to say to my parents in my 'thank you' speech... All out of sudden, I burst out crying... I think I'll miss them.

My colleague told me that her most terrible moment is when her parents shelter her out of the house, she really feel like crying when she had already cried her hear out the nite b4, having swollen eyesthe next day... Hope I won't cry that on my AD... sigh...
