hi chloe
oh, that's good, at least u won't have to worry about location. CHIJMES is a nice place to hold ur wedidng, have been to a couple of weddings there.
I won't have a banquet, will be having a lunch reception at my place after the tea ceremony, i want to keep it simple, casual & cosy for my guests
as for the facial place, i'd reccomended blurq & nickel to try out sothys at oub centre. i've been with them since jan 2001 and i think they're pretty good. u can call them at 6535 5669 to make an appt with them. my beautician is diana

hi chloe
my AD is on 30 oct, the popular date. actually, didn't realise it's that popular till i came in here.
u're welcome, the person picking up the phone will most likely be serena, she's the main co-ordinator for the salon. they're very friendly people, have fun
hi feroy
one of my friends went to haach for facial (the toa payoh branch) and i wasn't impressed. cos her face was filled with red spots from the squeezing when she came back. i don't get that when i do my facial at soothys, even after the squeezing.
hmm... i'd like to tone up my flabby arms as well, u r right, $180 for 6 sessions is pretty good price if they can help with this bit.
but i won't encourage their facial, cos my friend has very good complexion and was shocked when i saw what they did to her, just my 2 cents worth.

hi feory,
i did a research on haach before in SB..and finds that there is lots of bad comments over here.
It makes me think twice before gg to them.
I think it's better to check with someone whom u know that visited haach before.
Sometimes, the offer may sounds attractive, but in the end, u might end up paying more. Juz be careful on this.
hi Yvonne,
hee hee...if u haven't went down to take a look, think u shd go down there. Cos' the things are pretty cheap.
Another gd place to shop for necessities in toa payoh..can't rememeber the name of the shop thou.
hi Chloe,
i m meeting Ted at 6.30pm.
my email is [email protected].
hi paulyn,
Dun be too worried about the weight.
Juz try to control ur diet first.
i think it helps alot.
Most importantly, stay healthy.
hi nickel,
gd gd!! Ya..we will see another glow face soon..

hi winnie,
think august shld be fine. sept would be too late!
if the photographer you engaged is good, he or she will be able to know which angle you look best. else tell them to avoid taking certain shots which you know will not make you look good.
if you can't have the album in time for your wedding, chances are, the album will be stored away in a corner until someone requests to see it.
just my two cents worth!

hi nickel
good for u
i'm sure u'll have a good time there as well, it's a good opportunity for relaxing from our busy lifestyle
hi chloe
soothys has 3 basic facial routines, $79, $89 or $99 per session. it really depends on what u need. also, the beautician will assess ur skin condition and advice u on which treatment suits u.
the facial session is basically cleansing and extraction and masking, takes about an hr. they have other stuff such as AHA, hydrating treatment, vit c, etc, but u only do them when necessary.
i paid about $380 for 5 sessions of normal faical (the $89/session), so, it's pretty worth it. and when i want to pamper myself, i'll top up $15 for a hydration or vit c treatment.
best is for u to go down for a trial and assess for urself. blurq went down on hearing my reccomendation and so far, she's been happy with them, phew
hi blurq
ok, from now on, i'll make it a point to visit chinatown more regularly to get my toiletries
yah, have also heard about a shop in toa payoh that sells cheap toiletries but not sure where exactly hee hee
good for u

hi lynn
no worries, u get busy with ur work and post a nice long message for us tonight
feroy
hee hee, yah, sometimes, we get carried away with a deal that's too-good-to-be-true, but there's always a catch. like bioskin also used to keep advertising their facial for $38.
actually, it's not true, one of my friends went there and they told her $38 is for very good complexion and said she had to take up the $58 facial, which is reduced from the original price of $90, i think.
also, i'm also quite scared of buying heavily discounted packages, it may also mean the treatment is discounted as well
i totally agree, Oct 2004 brides are the coolest brides in town

i think there's one of us who's having her wedding on Oct 23 but i can't remember who. one of the oct brides, ivory, had been really sweet and she did this spreadsheet thingy and posted it on this thread so that we knew each other's schedule. she has been busy and hasn't been able to update, so, u may have to read back a few threads to search for the spreadsheet.
hi feroy
yah lor, last time always get conned by these 'promos', really penny wise pound foolish. so, have grown smarter and will be weary of 'promos' that give deals which are too good to be true.
yup, i miss ivory too, not cos of the spreadsheet but she's been a very lively contributor and she's one of my west kakis as well. rabbitwsk did say that ivory's busy with quite a lot of stuff now, that's why she's not been here.
rabbitwsk, do let ivory know that we miss her and ask her to come chat with us when she's free

you can check out the availability of flats at www.hdb.gov.sg
for sengkang & punggol, there are not many units left. now they are moving towards BTO. these 2 estates are the most popular so I am not so sure whether there will be any walk in selection in the near future. I went into the website and for most of the units left chinese are full. unless you don't mind executive at 29X sengkang.
sengkang had WIS last Mar, punggol last Oct ( can't remember ). mine is just next to Compasspoint : )
i am a Oct bride toooo..on the ever popular 30th oct but very inactive cos I have only settle on my hotel. hehehe give myself 2 more weeks from now to settle everything.
u seem to be moving faster than me though...

i wonder if there's anything wrong with the date i've selected - 23 Oct... nobody seems to be getting married on this day.
BTW, any of u know when is the school exam in Oct?

Hi Chloe
Welcome to the thread!!! My friend is having her wedding at Chijmes in October 2004 too. I've been there, and it's beautiful.
To share a bit with you on your questions:-
I agree with the rest of the girls that BS is really a matter of your personal preferences, depending on what styles you like, some examples:-
Lace : Kevin Seah, Kai
Embroidery: Ted Wu, Le Galleria, Flamingo
Low back, sexy gowns: Divine
Modern cheongsams: Dang
Crystals: Bridal Veil
Other bridal studios that I read good comments about too include Santiago, Golden Horse Awards. Depending on your budget, and what style you like, you can make an appointment with the bridal studios, chat with them and find out more. Generally, the good BS will be friendly and not try to hard sell you.
Look thro the list, and if you see that anyone of us is with a BS that you are interested in, drop us a line, we'll be more than happy to share with you.
Same for photographers, there is a long list for you to choose from in Singapore brides.
Personally, my AD is 9/10/2004. Only 2 Oct brides getting married on that day.
Cheers!
