(2004) Brides of year 2004

[tealeaf]

Hi Dabee,

Understand that relative issue is very "mafan", but do take things in your stride & as much as possible, try to cheer up & keep ur mind off unhappy things okie .... be a happy bride

How much is Alan Dai's charging for journalistic PS? I have seen Babyvon's pics already, quite like his works ... I know Yew Kwang charges about $850.

Hi Adeline,

My package without photography is $3,168. Haven't seen Robin's work but is considering to visit his studio next week. For Beetles@work, I have seen their pics, so won't be going down this sat.

PS means photoshoot.

[chubbyrain]

Hi bebe,

I m interested in marriage prep course too.. R u goin to those organised by MCDS? Let me know if its good ok?

 

[fantasy]

Hi Fairymoss,
R u refering to Kim at Tampines??

 

[momoechan]

hi nicole
have emailed my friend's wedding website link to you, enjoy

hi chubbyrain
oh, hee hee, then we must complain, cos that chant doesn't work!

hahaha, better tell ur hubby to save for ur big day man, looks like he needs to prepare at least $399! scarly he gives only $299.99, which is also more than $299

when will ur pl be ready? sure, no prob, can share our reno experience with u

altho, mine not as much since most of the pl already done up, only reno abit hee hee, the rest of the gals will be able to share more with u

hi ivory
wow, u went back with all the rollers in ur hair ah? hee hee, yes, i'm sure the taxi driver was shocked. good that u managed to sleep with it, it's worth the aunty image lah, the end results were fantastic

hi lynn
have sms-ed the contact to u

sorry, he doesn't do blinds. we're lazy people, want to go for low maintenance stuff, so, chose blinds

hi carol
pray hard

or don't eat too much before u get on the yatch and while on it. too much food can cause trouble in choppy waters.

hi bebe
er... don't think he has a showroom, he always comes down to meet us at our pl. but if u want, u can come over to my pl with Lynn & c0co to have a look at his worksmanship when it's done

yes, i want the stainless steel F&P fridge, cannot do with it, hee hee, so hiao hor?

hee hee, luckily my hubby not as crazy about plsamas, he only wanted a bigger tv, but when he found out the price difference between a 29" & 34", his jaws dropped, so, we're sticking with 29"

anyway, our living room isn't that big, have big tv also no point

 

[cwtopaz]

Hi ivory, u r not fat lah, it's ur hubby tt's too skinny. *oops* Ai ya, from wat i remember in sec, he's those skinny skinny type one. haha..

I hv a joint account due to the bank loan but so far we hv not put any money in yet, think will wait till we offically move in. The account is more for sundry expenses relating to hse and if got excess, hol one. We will hv separate acct for own expenses. Ivory's the best, hubby's $$ in her account.

[excite]

Hi all,
I'm going back home after this mesg. Well, today is not a so gd day for me (AGAIN!!), anyway, I have a tlak with my boss (nah, is a he not SHE, so easy to talk with). And he has taken on some of my workload, which I has passed on to him... trying to solve the problem on my side too.
Kept asking me to bear with him for few more weeks.. arrghh... i hope waht he said is going to happen *pray hard*

Hey coco,
Take care of urself, I oways hvae flu & sore throat too, I knoe its very terrible. Hee, on your suggestion, I think I have tried. In fact, I ate so much of those contents food that my bf got to restrict me in eating. of coz must eat secretly lor.

Well, going back home now..... still got project

 

[fairymoss]

Fantasy,

Yeah lor!! it's Kim! She's very good, dun u think so? Have u been to her before? I went couple of weeks ago, make 3 dresses from her, but not so soon complete lah. I think her charges reasonable, and one thing good is that she will go shopping with us for the material.

 

[zhuzhu]

Hi Ladies

Got a suggestion for the shoes..I saw some design at Cecila Low boutique (gee forgot how to spell the name

)..it was plain covered front shoe, with strap at the ankle. And they had those beads design(like what those you see whereby ppl do as a bracelet or choker) sew on the ankle strap..and viola! a nice pair of wedding shoe..can even do that for those open toe shoes also

Hi ladies...
Nid u gals help. Any1 kn wat's a wine chijmes?

 

[zhuzhu]

HI Fifi
I happened to have a site which actually sold wine chime
http://www.jewelrysupply.com/EJS/wedding.htm
It is hold by a metal chain and it will be hooked at the stem of your wine glass.With the different design, your guest will be able to identify exactly which wine glass is theirs..no worries about drink from the wrong glass

 

[fi_fi]

Hi Zhuzhu....
OIC, now i kn liao. cos being asking ard, many not vri sure wat exactly e dat. curious abt it as my htl gigiving dis as wedding favours.
Thanks....

 

[ivory]

lynn...
ya lor... he so skinny.. even if im not fat i oso look fat lor... but im still fat... *sob sob*

kekeke... ya lor... his money in my account.. so no need to open joint account.. hahahaha....

nickel...
thanks thanks...

 

[cwtopaz]

dear gals, seems like most of us don't have a joint a/c. But there are so many things to be paid, things like wedding bands, misc fee to the makeup artistes, buying of ring pillows, etc. Those minor things but need $ wan.. how ? who to pay?
So thought if got joint a/c would be good right? Everything just paid from that acc.
How abt honeymoon? who pay? i'm rather confused.
sometimes when it comes to $, its rather sensitive.

 

[cawaii]

fairymoss,
when's ur nxt appt with kim? mine's next tue.
so ur mum and mil make cs?

 

[lings]

hi gals.. juz come in and says good nitez to all.. i will come in again tomolo again coz too tired after a day work.. Haiz OT OT and OT..
take care ..

 

[bebee]

hello me just done doing my nails...hehe

ok i got to answer lots of qns... here goes..

chubbyrain..whats MCDS? sorry me very blur... heard from friends its gd to go 4 course so sign up...Its called MPC, open to everyone.. 6 sunday course... yup covers all sorts of topic like communication, sex, finance, babies, mother in law hahaha pretty fun n funny...

chinwoon...stil no joint account...ya sometimes i wonder what i hav to come out for.. wat we did recently was to do up a simple spreadsheet to calculate all the costs.. one for the wedding and one for overall - house n stuff...it includes earnings n CPF etc... we both fill in the blanks, and I put in amounts i am comfortable with.. i dun earn so much.. but i dun want him to carry full burden...finance is tricky..think must really be open n discuss

Yvonne- it would be great to c ur place..let me know when the rest r going too

thx!

 

[eternity]

wow... so many postings liao... need to catch up... hahaha... suddenly this thread soooo happening and i busy at work... no choice got to log on after work.....

Dabee,
dun get too upset about people that you dun like... just close one eyes and take things easy... as for serving them tea, just take it as respescting the elders lor... anyway, got angpao to take oso mah.... hahaha, i veri bad hor...

actually hor, i quite like Charles & Keith shoes, but i seriously doubt their quality leh... my friend bought a pair of strappy shoes and think within two months, the straps snap liao.... mine oso similar case, but can tahan a little longer than my friend's... or maybe my friend too "chor lor"....

huh? cannot season the shoes beforehand meh?? then later the shoes "bite" you on that day how?? i think wear at home bo liao bo liao walk around should be okie, just don't wear it onto the streets lor... compromise mah....

 

[bebee]

ivory - scary hor, how guys can stay so skinny.. my FH too... he eats a lot but still so skinny... worse, he loses weight easily.. a bit of work stress n can c his face thinner - dun talk about falling sick... for me, must b very sick then can lose a bit - once i'm better, put back on -auto

lucky u, $ in ur a/c... i still waiting 4 supp card... heehee

 

[eternity]

lala, annie,

u must be the sweet sweet kind, like ribbons and flowers....

mi prefer the demantle kind... oso more practical, can use them next time... heehee...

wow, seems like it's either Yew Kwang or Alan Dai for AD photography....


lydia,
wow, you really veri young leh.... think u may be the youngest around liao....

who else out there is younger than lydia?? own up !!

no lah, me haven't even started my reno... signed contract liao, now coordinating on the color to use, blah blah blah... being schedule for reno liao, so now must multi-task for wedding and reno... good thing i have a few good advisors around, who keep asking me "start looking for this liao?? start looking for that liao??"... hahaha....

think we can all bring a pair of slippers or something flat when going for PS.. then only when take picture and the angle can see the feet, then wear shoes lor.....


Lala, Annie, & Dabee,
eh, think this can help solve the problem of hubby not a lot taller than us. if we wear slippers or dun wear, then hubby will be taller than us in their shoes lor... heehee....

 

[eternity]

Adeline,

dun panic... we are sept brides mah, so will help one another... we'll prompt one another our progress lor, so everyone can check against themselves... like me lor, ask one questions about shoes and sooo many helpful opinions and advice....

wat else need to do ah? look around for accessories if your BS not providing lor... but i think nowadays most BS does provide...

actually hor, depends on what you like.. me intending to get those demantle ones... so can quite easily match with anything lor.... but i will get two pairs. one to match my gown which is easy since the gown color is fixed liao... then i'll start looking around for evening shoes and when i confirm my WG design, will haf an idea wat to get liao....

 

[zenn]
