(2004) Brides of year 2004

[blueberry]

Hi Nickel, Chubbyrain,

Will pop my head from my shell once in a while.. need to take a break too... or else get dusty..

Babysheep,

Not ambitious.. but feel it rather romatic. but me dare not.. a bit shy... must let us hear your singing when you are ready..
I have another beautican with me(for 4 years). So can kind of compare Karen with her. Find each have their different skills. Both are good too..
Maybe my expectation for both are not the same. have higher expectation from Karen.


Bebe,
Take it easy.. I am not doing anything till Jun. So I think you won't be busy like me then.. do one at a time.

 

[etelle]

Sobs Sobs.. So touching..

 

[onee]

Hi, anyone has suggestion for holiday with budget say S$1k per person? Due to tight budget constraint, we are brainstorming the possible locations so that we'll zero in accordingly at the Travel Fair this weekend lor.

What about u gals? Any honeymoon spots in mind? If u folks have got comfortable budget, I strongly suggest NZ and Europe / UK. It'll be summer in Europe & UK in Jun, to add on, there'll be sales...

 

[blueberry]

Ivory,

Why so special?? 2 baby tortoises?? never occurs in my mind.. Any special meaning?? both of you like tortises??

Chubbyrain,

I prefer the channel U one at 9pm.
Dun like too sad show.. always make me tear.

 

[bebee]

talkin about cravings: I get choc cravings during that time of the month, and chips/salty craving just b4... since i mentioned diet - NO More snacks!!! okok lets c how long i can tahan haha

yesterday was showing about chuan guo being a volunterr. Then also about chaun ye got for dialysis skip one time of dialysis drank a lot of water. And also about him asking his wife to go and check if she is a suitable donor. Then the wife didn't go btu bluff him that he did. Then also about the lala marrying weiwei but met with an accident and died. SO sad. He also decided to donate his kidney to wei wei as wedding gift leh. so sad hor...

My hubby planned a very unusual proposal haha that left all my friends go wow so romantic still got this kind of guy around ah. Haha he took effort to plan it and i fell for it. hee hee well good to be romantic hor. Even though we already bought hosue liaoz so it's like a matetr fo time getting married but hubby still proposed. so sweet of him

As for tearing i guess on my AD i will tear leh cuz i love my parents a lot. So when i give thank you speech i think sure tear one ha ha can skip that?? maybe can get a wedding singer to sing for them hee hee

 

[piper]

smurfy,

[eternity]

lala,
u've got mail !!!

skylar,
i've sent you my friend's contact on the videograhy liao.. u didn't receive? want me to send again?

yah, too bad u can't join us this time round... how come so last minute then know ah??

 

[poshies]

Smurfy,
No need to stress lah.... I also haven't collected my album... haha take ur time...

Thinking it will be nice that all of us can meet up n view each others album (studio, AD and maybe honeymoon)...

 

[forest]

hi nickel,
sorry for the late reply.. finally got to read my hotmail aft being away last wk.. so many things to catch up on!!!

i've replied u via email liao!!

hi chubbyrain,
hahahaha.. okies okies, i'll def try to wait for u... also wan to meet u gals up.. since i've missed all the previous gatherings!!!

hi ivory,
i still rem ur 2 baby tortoise proposal.... tt's the sweetest!!!!

hi kk,
u mentioned tt u hve another beautician besides karen.. so which do u prefer??? r u gog to both now?!?

 

[eternity]

Adeline,
u veri good leh, confident to wear qipao. me fleshy but conscious of wearing fitting dresses... three cheers to U!!!

i was quite worried whether i need to stay with in-laws after marriage but lucky they oso dun wish... of course later on when they are older, will definitely need to stay together to take care of them, but as of now still have "er ren shi jie" time....

wat happened during 1st fit ah?? nothing much lor... i juz go there, wear my gown (with the can-can), then realised that cannot zip all the way up... designer took note of the alternations required and so i'm going back there today !!!

think at first fit you will need to choose your gown details unless your choose embroidery and it's oredi done lor...

then remember to bring your camera lor, if you want to take pictures...

oh, dun waste 1.5k juz on a men's suit leh... try to negotiate wif them for more stuff, okie? better bring a few gal friends along to negotiate, dun let them think that can "eat" your 1.5k like this...

yah, me and gin are at Haach and we are bring annie there this week to try out... skylar wanted to come along too but she cannot make it last minute... why?? you interested oso???

 

[forest]

Hi Kk,

Yvonne, I went to Ocean to buy the Sothys products, u r rite..they din have lots of variety..but definitely cheaper than the salon leh..so i bought quite a few...hehe

Nickel, how's ur facial? did your face glow?

etelle..u r here too..free to chat here..cos' the pple here are really friendly..

 

[stardus]

Hi Seabreeze,

My PS on 31 July. But have not booked photographer yet. Don't know who to choose. Will ask Voicz for recommendations!

 

[blueberry]

Blurq,

Missing you in action.
Take care and dun tired yourself.

 

[doremon]

Hi circusbugs,

You can sleep on the new bed frame but NOT on the new mattress. Becos my gf did that. However, depend on how patang u are. Some pple won't even sleep on the new bed frame till an chuan.

 

[fantasy]

Hi Cawaii, I've tried the neutrogena ones... not too bad never tried olay before. But SKII definitely gives the most prominent result.

Hey fairymoss, dont worry too much... just go happily and enjoy the shooting process. For all you know, the rain might be during morning when you are doing your indoors... we'll all be praying hard for you. As for sunset shots, is your photographer using digital camera? Is yes, he can create the effect by manipulating with the lens he use. That's what our photographer did to our last two shots at the beach... we were surprise as the darkening of the sky color looks really natural.

Hi Onee, there shld be quite alot of alternatives for budget ard $1K per pax. Depending on the type of accomodation and days of stay that you are looking at. I'm sure the NATAS fair this weekend will give you better ideas

Wow... can collect album and cdrom next week... so exciting! We are all looking forward to see your e-pics @o@

 

[furby]

Hi gals
guessed i really lost track of things...
Welcome to all newbies...

Ivoy
my update:
Dinner @ Grand Copthrone Waterfront.

Gals
went for my 1st appt last fri. It was very tiring... trying and trying... BS trying to push me to get OTR WG and EG although I've option to get MTM WG & EG. Now in a delimma... cos afraid that if get MTM then don't turn out nice how? Cos those i got OTR were quite nice and I quite like it though not my dream ones.

Then I think usually they say new ones but sure will still let other pple wear though they say reserve for you, rite? If not how to do biz, hor...

 

[forest]

hi chubbyrain,
same here, im mtg Oct brides for the first time too.. altho b4 this, i've met the brides frm yr2004 thread...

dun worry, all the gatherings i've been to r very gd... very fun!!

hi bebee,
hahah.. me also tg pagar.. but along cantonment rd.. we r indeed near to ea other!! i hvent met the gals b4.. but will drop by on thurs... do join us if u can!

 

[furby]

Ivoy

W:rabbit'75
H:snake'77
Lovenest @ Punggol

Anyone living in punggol? maybe can go ard hse visiting in the same area??

 

[stubbilla]

hi eVon,
will go Jurong to take a look at the shop. my colleague told me if the shop owner is good enough, just need to tell them the dialet group and he will do the rest

I believe the Jurong one is good from the way u describe

 

[stubbilla]

Hi cirusbugs,
as what doremon said, it all depend on how much u believe. my friend dun do an chuan at all, they sleep on the bed the moment they move in. there's a lot of ways of doing an chuan, the best person to ask is your parents

nai chai is actually guo da li

 

[stubbilla]

Hi mist,
since your package got MTM, another way is to ask the BS to MTM a similar gown as what u choose loh. that's what some do loh. u try the gown to see if suit u, then MTM similar design to ensure it is NEW.

 

[chubbyrain]

Hi Etelle,
U can email me.. Haha.. my email is [email protected].. Sorrie for being so 38.. Cant help it..
U go for the gathering on Thurs lah, then we can share

I also haven met the gals b4

Hi blurq,
Welcome back, pls dun over work..
I went Sothys last week too, but dun tink i will sign up.. My mum's comments were my face ok now, better not touch it.. My frens said my complexion seemed better last time.. Gosh

Very sad..

Hi Carol,
Wah, Grand copthorne, i like it leh.. But the small room is too small for me, big room i dun meet min tables.. So din take it..
Which BS did u sign up with?
How come they ask u to get OTR even though u signed up for MTM? Insist on MTM if u hv idea how u wan ur WG n EG to look like..

 

[stubbilla]

Hi mooee,
wow, u muz be excited to collect your house keys~! where is your new house? I collected mine early Feb, just shortlisted my ID, going to start reno soon

 

[stubbilla]

Hi blursotong,
thought GHA got quite nice gowns leh? saw some feature in the magazine.

Hi Lorac,
no time to go see the sale...what a waste.

 

[etelle]

hi blurq
yah i have already experienced their hospita;ity hee hee. Nice people.

Hi chubbyrain
sothys is from where? And if u not gng there then which facial are u eyeng on??

 

[chubbyrain]

Hi etelle,
Sothys is at oub centre, level 2..I went there last week, 1st time in my life.. Hehe..
Im not eyeing anywhere, wun b goin lor..
Where do u normally go?

 

[momoechan]

hi ladies
looks like u gals had fun today

hi nickel
hahaha, must share 'good things' is it? tell him don't have to be so 'kind' lah

but glad to hear that u'll be able to make it this thur.

didn't get to clean up my place today cos there were more finishing touches today. so, my contractor has volunteered to clean up our pl for us so that our furniture can come in tomorrow, hee hee, not bad hor?

don't worry, jan 2005 will be here before u know it, u can start buying those interior decor mags & look at designs which u like, hee hee, i did that the min we bought our pl 2 years ago, KS hor?

i'm like u too, i cry when i watch sappy shows, my hubby also knows my 'pattern', will pass me the tissue once the sad/touching scenes occur

that's why i prefer to watch comedies/action shows, can save my tears hee hee

hi forest
yup, it's definitely exciting but scary at the same time cos we bought our furniture from various shops, so, i'm hoping all of them will match!

hi ivory
more spending power by paying with cash is it? hmm... food for thought

hey, i thought u're supposed to go to penang today? or were u trying to sneak in some replies before leaving?

only need to bring ur swimsuit to penang? don't need to bring a change of clothes? hmm... maybe ur hubby's hinting to u that u can shop in penang for new clothes?

but my ex-colleagues from penang told me there's not much shopping there. i've been there once for biz 3 years ago, didn't buy anything except the 'pong pia'.... so, don't raise ur hopes too high on shopping.... u'll enjoy the food tho

wah, ur hubby so good, he proposed to u. for me... while... no formal proposal, just picked up the application form for a flat and that's it. yah, boring engineer

hi chubbyrain
don't worry, ur PS date is still not too late. my friend's, who's wedding website u saw, was even later. her big day was in mid-dec last year and she only had her PS in Oct. only got her album on her AD. Dang is an experienced bridal deisnger, so, i'm sure she'll give u the correct advise

me too, i pray everyday that my in laws & hubby strike 4D or toto too, then i can be a tai tai!

hi etelle
yup, we're a bunch of nice people, try and make it for the outing this thur so that we can put ur face to ur name

i'm also the emotional type, i'm afraid i'll tear during the tea ceremony cos i know my mom will be very sad and once she cries, i'll follow, hee hee, useless lah

hi babysheep
good to see u here again, need to come in here once in a while to break the pressure from ur work ok?

wow, u're indeed special, i don't even have a single ounce of creative juice in me to compose anything

i'm sure ur hubby & parents will be happy with whatever songs u come up with for them

hi kk
i prefer the channel u show too. it's funny and it's got pretty gals and cute guys... ok, maybe only one guy is cute but it's certainly interesting

hi bebe
u work near me too, i'm also at tanjong pagar side. used to work here a couple of years ago, then moved on to newton and now, i'm back here again, it looks like i can't get away from tanjong pagar!

hi blurq
hee hee, yah, good right? can save on the products

oh, ur 1st fitting is only in June? don't worry, if TW says that it can be done in time, i'm sure it's ok

hahaha, no lah, i only reccomended u gals to soothys cos i think they're pretty good, so, can share mah

have also reccomended 2 friends to soothys as well. 1 of them goes to soothys at oub and the other goes to soothys at amara. let's see what freebies they'll give, maybe can ask them to give trial packs then i can share with u & nickel when u sign up with them?

hi carol
how was ur company function on the yatch? no rain on friday evening right?

as for OTR gowns, yah, how they classify new gowns is as long as no one has worn it for their AD, it's new. so, this means someone may have used it for their PS in the studio but have not used it for their AD. for me, it's alright, doesn't matter if it's new or used as long as i like the deisgn

hey, i'm a rabbit too

hi lynn
i met up with kenneth today at our new pl, he said u've got a friend who may want to use him as well. i told him, yah, i've been reccomending him to a lot of people and my pl is like a mini 'showcase' of his worksmanship, so, he's got to do a good job so that he can get more biz hee hee

 

[hakida]

Hi eVON,
u have bought ur stuff for an chuan so early?
i heard from my SIL that after u have an chuan,nobody is supposed to enter the bedroom again untill the AD...

 

[hakida]

Hi jess27,
i walk pass ur house last sat around 1 plus.seems like nobody is in the hse.sure can meet up and eat,but usually sunday i dun take breakfast,coz wake up very late,only eat lunch

 

[piglets]

Hayashi

You are rite. after an chuang no one is suppose to go in again. Until the wedding day.

 

[smurfy]

thanks gals. Will let all of you know when its ready

 

[stubbilla]

hi hakida,
that's why normally people an chuan when near AD so that no need to wait too long before it's allowed to sleep on the bed

 

[etelle]

hi chubbyrain
me thinkig of re visiting adonis cuz i have been there before but their extraction is killing me leh. Too painful to endure that's y ha ha

Hi cawaii, onee

The photos still can accept...Thks for ur concern & advice.

Hi Mel Tan,

I juz feel tat as a consumer u have the right to chose. But decide is still up to you.
