Got to knock off now.. my eyes have been on PC for 8 hours.. blue and black now.
 


Hi Yvonne,

81 photos is too little! Usually , they would take more than 100 at least.

Did they treat u better at the selection? Or still nasty, u din complain at all tho out. You
very "can suffer in silent" type. Poor thing.

I haven't sign up with Promax yet but found their pricg gd lor. Still thkg.
 
hi,

question!!! an chuan. can be jus a good day thats all rite? i heard after the an chuan, cannot sleep alone on the bed? any one heard of that b4?
 
Hi Jess27

Yup after An Chuang you are not suppose to sleep on the bed... Oni on the wedding day than you are around to lie on it. And after An chuang no one is suppose to go in the room accept you.

Date to An chuang is beta to be one weeks before yr AD cos you can't touch any of the thing mah...

Hi gals,

I will be getting married(r.o.m)ard jul. Any recommendations for rom package from any bridal shop? I am looking for one that has rom dress & coat rental, gd make-up and photography. Or any gd make-up and photographer that you are confident to recommend/share?
 
Hi Mel Tan,

Is it? I am not sure leh...But I feel its ok, juz tat outdoor shoots are too less to chose esp tat day is raining so many plcs cannot go. Juz disappointed.

That day selection, its the lady boss who serve me. She is much more better. i juz feel tat no point bring up the past unless on the spot they offend me then I won't kept silent.

After comparing a few quotations, I also find Promax price is good & reasonable. Hmm...I dunno should I recommended you my ID...Maybe if u reali feel Promax price is the most reasonable & wish to engage Promax but juz bcoz of the creative design. You may want to consider my ID...Juz a piece of advice...

And lastly welcome all the new brides to this thread.
 
Hi kippy,
I went to Plaza sing today and unfortunately, the road show for Gain city has already been replaced with John Little. How sad. Then i called the salesman that i made my purchase with, and he said the promotion is only for Samsung aircon. So if i bought the Toshiba air con, i would not be entitled to the free TV. How leh??

Hi Piglets,
Gain city is expensive? Hiksss.. I just bought my air con from them leh.. But i think most sporeans buy the air con from Gain city. And the prices are very competitive. You should check with other shops and see which one gives you the best price. For me and my fiance, we just trusted Gain city cos our are using it too..
 
Hi Kippy,
How to become a member of Hbay ah? Do you just go to the shop at Plaza sing and apply? Heee... Cos i want it as well.. Thanks!
 
Hihi...

Butterfly,
Not true! The free TV applies to almost all brands. They were giving away 29" for sys 3, 20" TV for sys 2 or DVD for sys 1.

Piglets,
Yes, if w/o the free items the price is slightly higher...

Law,
Do you ve any budget? Are you looking at MTM rom dress/coat or OTR?

As for photographer, I highly recommend Kelvin from Beetle@work!

Kippy,
Ya how to apply to be a member of Hbay? Whats the adv?
 
Hi Ladies,

Wow!!! It's been so happening here that I blamed myself why so late then come in. hahaha....
happy.gif


Dabee, Wish you have a Happy Birthday and may all your birthday wishes come true!
happy.gif
Very paisei for the Yew Kwang booking. hahaha...me super kiasu wan esp after reading abt his thread in this forum. Met up with him last Friday and confirm the package we want. He's quite serious wan but very professional and knowledgable. Believe would enjoy working with him.

The rest of you can try BerryHappy. One of my colleague took a lady as photographer. The effects are great! But may be slightly above $1k. As for videography, maybe I just get one of my friends who is interested in videocaming to shoot for us.
happy.gif
Would Bao a big ang bao for her if she agrees.

Da Bee, I think somehow no matter how hard we try, there's always a distance between hubby side and us cos we no matter wat is still an outsider. Well, you just be happy with your hubby. Dun let other things affect you! WE all must be HAPPY BRIDES!
happy.gif
Coincidentally, I oso don't feel like having babies now. Sometimes feel sometimes don't. Very mao dun cos it's a lifelong burden. Once you have them you can't discard them when you don't feel like raising them. It's sometimes scary.....hahaha...ok dun give -ve influence to the rest who wants to be mum. Think time's not ripe yet for us.

But if I really want to have, i only want to have gals. Frankly speaking I can't imagine myself raising a boy cos I dun really know how to handle boys (a good eg is my hubby) so gals better.
happy.gif


Lydia,Lala, hope to visit both of your houses when they are done! Mine is done so you all can come and visit anytime! But we didn't maintain it well enough so it'a bit dirty liao. hahaha...me too lazy to do housework. Lucky my MIL didn't spot check on me. She's too busy recently.

Mandy, we are neighbours! Our house is in Kim Tian too. Scarly we live only up and downstairs. hahaha...this is getting exciting! We can visit each other's house
happy.gif


Adeline, we have the same horos! I'm a Virgo too! Ya, it's great that we have our birthdays and weddings together! Ok, will email to you Yew Kwang's package but you got to quickly check with him if he's still available on 20 Sep. So envy you that you can wear QiPao. You can flip through past issues of Her World to check for pics showing qipao. Think quite a few.
happy.gif


Eternity, hope all bad pimples will clear on Friday! Tot they usually give you a pimple cream to apply after facial? Gin, Skylar, Weiqun and Ros, see you all on Friday!
happy.gif


So when can we have a Sep04 brides gathering? I had my 1st fitting today and I discovered something which I never knew a bride has to do. Got quite a shock! Will tell you all when we gather cos too paisei to say here. I too clumsy and forgetful tt I only realised I didn't bring my digi cam and worst, forgot where I placed it. Hope it's not in my office toilet if not it might be lost. Hope I placed it on my office desk. Anyway, my friend bought a disposable cam and took many shots. Will let you all know once it's ready for viewing
happy.gif
Just a plain gown but also took photos of some Flamingo's signature gowns and with Shirley, Flamingo's designer! hehehe....
happy.gif


A piece of advice for those renovating - if possible change all HDB tiles to your own choice cos they really cannot make it! We regret not changing our toilet tiles to save money and now they are so difficult to maintain. Get dirty easily and the dirt spots very difficult to remove. haiz....pay all the tax monies for wat i oso dun know.

God bless all Sep04 brides!
happy.gif

happy.gif

wink.gif
but then, abit hard also since he'd just came back to singapore and u miss u dearly as well right?

hi exciting
how did i manage to keep up with the replies? hee hee, ivory thought me this trick. copy and paste the postings onto a word doc and slowly go down the list when replying. that helped alot, especially with this thread since we're such a happening bunch of Oct brides
happy.gif


hi c0co
is the meeting tomorrow or thur? if it's tomorrow, i definitely can't make it. but if it's thur, i can make it. but will just pop by for a short while, may not stay long
happy.gif
 
Hi Mist,

Don't worry so much, like Piglets say, even MTM gowns may not be new. If you are happy with what you have, then don't think so much and prepare being a happy bride. : )

Hi Mooee,

My Hubby went to Raffles Tailor for his suit. The designer is very detailed in taking measurement!
 
hi piglets,

is that true? i never heard of this before leh... i thought they really use new materials and sew a new gown leh...

how come your mum knows huh??? she's in this line?
 
Hi Annie,

I have a premium flat, like u, just changed the tiles of the living & bed rooms while left the kitchen & toilet ones untouched ... hmm, guess would have a hard time washing liao ...

I second a gathering ... Let me know the date & time, let's all try to make it ah =)
 
lala and mandy,

if you want my friend's contact for the videography, leave your email and i'll send you the informnation. but seriously i'm not sure of her charges... so you can negotiate on your own.. heehee...
happy.gif
 
Fairymoss : Can I have the contact of your tailor, Kim? [email protected]. Thanks.

Yvonne : Yalor, agree with Cawaii, if you really don't like it or feel uncomfortable about it, try requesting. We are already spending so much $ on wedding, most importantly $ must be well-spent.

Cawaii : I've not tried though. I wanted to get it too but there's so many brands in the market. There's another orange one from Watson. Me very puzzled which one to buy. Will be great to hear from the other gals, hor
happy.gif
 
Hi Piglets & Hakida,

I went to Blk 506 Jurong West St 52 u will pass by a shop with many wedding stuffs....cheers

I bot tea pot set, bowls, spoons, chopsticks, sewing kit...the rest like lamps, house slippers and etc will buy ltr
 
hi piglets,

dun think its true cos the bride actually gets to choose the material, design, cut and when we go for fitting ... the dress is usually half-done meaning that no buttons, no zip ... no details .... unless you are toking abt some 'lousy' bridal shop ....

unless u cfm know lar ... cos it might just create some unnecessary worries among the brides lor ....

all WL brides ....

Sue Ann is leaving and she is my designer .... so anyone of u with Sue Ann oso?? any good designer to recommend?
 
Hi Piglets,

Just tell her ur dialets and she will teach you. If you want simple then she will tell you that tea pot set, lamps and sewing kit is a must. There is such a thing call small n big 'yuan' must buy n sew on the gown, shoes, etc...as long as things bride wears
 
yvonne..
he said "good things" are to be shared lor, hee hee..
happy.gif
happy.gif

hi exciting,

biggrin.gif
 
Hi Yvonne,

Yah, most of the photographers says they wld take up to at least 100 or more because u noe those "magazine" style albums need about 50 photos at least, so most of them actually take abt 120 ave for u to choose.

Dun thk I will chg ID, piseh let her do so much work and then sign up w her collg .

Cawaii: If u wan ex mask, use SK2. 1 box of 6 pcs for the 2 weeks leading up to ur phtoshoot wld be gd. Cheaper alt, there is 1 mask sold at SASA called the "Pinkmei" mask is quite gd. I have tried it, v.popular with those who noe.
 
hi piper,

oops! stupid me.
happy.gif
mine is ala carte. it's ok. will prob go tailor made. thanks anyway.
happy.gif


Hi mee mee,
