wow piglets,
u wake up so early on a sunday.i still dun know how to rollerblade,i had a fall few years back while learning how to rollerblade.phobia ever since then.
Hallo jeslyn,

Hi ladies,

I encounter some problem uploading my photos in the web. Will ask my hubby to do that for me and email those who've emailed me. So sorry.....

mee mee

 

[fish]

Hi cubby

Still didn't receive leh.

Maybe you can send it to me at this email account instead [email protected]?

Heehee.... I think the reason why I can have such control is because my bridal+photo pkg adds up to $4988 already.

The amount stuck on our minds and so its easy not to blow up our budget lor. I think if our package costs below $4000, we would have easily spend another $1000 on photos.

Yup, very pleased with the photos. The colour is very vibrant. That's the reason why we wanted Utopia. I will get back the proof prints of the selected photos end April. I can scan in the pictures and load them online then.

CC2,
Maldives....whoaaa beautiful sea and wonderful scenery. Any Made in Maldive yet? My hubby's shiong di went to Mauritius last year and is urging us to go there for honeymoon. So wait till we win 4D first

Did you get a good rest after AD?

 

[pageup]

Hi Mee Mee,

Saw some of your photos. Your gown looked grand and your makeup made you look very elegant. Both go very well with the style of your weding ceremony

I guess you have some problem with the photo file size? Try to reduce the image resolution to 150 pixels/inch and below or reduce the length and width to less than 100mm. This will help you to save some space for more photos. Don't worry, the pics will still be clear enough to view on screen.

 

[bunnygirl]

[stubbilla]

hi Jeslyn,
I'm staying at cck. just got my keys in feb. recently confirm my ID so going to start reno soon.

ya, will reno new house liao then hold customary and solemnisation together, so it's all at one go, only have one wedding date to remember

so just shack for this one year and everything all settle

 

[stubbilla]

hi Jeslyn,
where's your house?? if u using CPF, shouldn't be in debts rite??

 

[bunnygirl]

Hi HP,

my hse @ punggol..cck? which area? i'm styaing @ cck nw..=) yup..bt due to my low income, we still need to pay additional $ 2 top up. haiz..we borrowed $19k (4 the reno n furniture..bt still nt enough) cz my pay is too low..

i'm wking as a kindergarten tcher. so my pay is onli $880 after deucting cpf..hai..

 

[stubbilla]

hi Jeslyn,
I'm currently staying at CCK too. love nest also at CCK. now staying near CCK stadium. u leh??

u mean u need to top up $2k or $20K?

 

[stubbilla]

Jeslyn,
first, u need to work out how much u and your hubby can afford for reno

then, list out the need and want. for example, u need kitchen to be equipped with fridge, hood & hob and washing machine. u want a designer sofa.

then ask yourself after getting all the need, still have $$$ on want? if not, forget abt the want, concentrate on the need. remember that u don't need to 100% furnish your house. u can always add more furnishing as times go. do it slowly, in line with your budget.

thumb of rule, don't overspend. spend within your limit. no point staying in a beautiful house but feeling stressed by financial problems.

 

[newyjg]

Hi HP n the rest still looking for BS,

I have visited Flamingo, Dang, Camilia recently.
Flamingo OTR gowns seems a liitle wear off. But the designer is a sweet lady. As for Dang, I talk to her asistance. Her Evening gown quite impressive. BZ, i dont know. But I just went Camellia . Te price very attractiven guess what?
The desginer actually make an effort to follow u to the Studio n Outdoor shooting. Very personalise.. u can Consider ?

 

[stubbilla]

Hi JG,
Where is Camilia? u mean the designer follow the brides to outdoor shoot? any reason for that? service very good leh. how's the package? expensive?

 

[stubbilla]

Hi Bao Bao,
can u send me packages of BZ?? just PM me

thanks a lot~!

 

[bunnygirl]

Hi HP,
thz 4 the advice..bt we hv been cracking our head for the past 2wks. we tried to reduce the tings 4 the reno. we din reno the whole hse.

u stay near the stadium? me too! i'm 500+. u? hmm..u seems quite familiar 2 mi..hahaha..bt i nt so sure leh..do u mind if i ask abt ur age?

 

[stubbilla]

Hi Jeslyn,
Bao Bao also staying at CCK. she also thought I'm familar

 

[bunnygirl]

Hi HP,

i need to top up ard $200 in cash 4 the hse. bt i onli pay $70. while my hubby pay the rest.

so far wat hv u bought for ur hse?

 

[fish]

Hi cubby

Saw your photos liao. Thanks! You look very sweet leh... reminds me a little of the Taiwanese singer Lan Xin Mei.

How many pictures did you have in total? My brother used Chris Ling, package is even more ex than mine... so he didn't top up a single photo ....just took 20pcs of 8R. I guess the more ex the package, the more heartpain you'll feel when topping up, and so the more control you get yah?

 

[stubbilla]

Jeslyn,
a basic reno for new 5 room house is at least $11K - $15K. that's only for kitchen, living & dining and master bedroom. I din do my other bedrooms.

btw, u confirm any ID to reno your house??

 

[bunnygirl]

Hi HP,

reali......???? hmm..cz i gt 1 frd oso stay ard tt area? baobao is my sec sch mate..so tt's why we gt quite alot of frds in tis area..=)

 

[chubbyrain]

Then dun hv to worry abt ur MIL seeing u in a mask.. Hv ur hubby seen tt?

Hi coco,
Ya, tink my msg super long.. Din realise it too.. Must cut down..
U watched the eye 2? I wanted to watch it on Fri, but only midnite show avail, n i had to wake up early for aerobics on sat so i din watch it. Anyway, din watch the eye 1.. I scared watch liao, i dun dare to go toilet or shower..

I watched "the complete works of william shakespeare(unabridged)" yesterday at DBS arts centre.. It was very, very entertainin n funny.. Highly recommended..

Hi meimei,
U haven been posting for sometime.. Too bz?

Welcome back..

 

[hakida]

Hi jeslyn,
me not mature lah,just that u come in to the forum more often u get to know more things.
i think my hse reno abt 23k,that is of course excluding furnitures and electical appliances.lucky for me,my hubby is much older than me and has quite a bit of saving.so we dun have any bad debts,everything we pay in cash.so no worries in regards to paying credit card company.Me and my hubby dun like to do so many things at the same time.So after we ROM in dec 2002,we start to search for hse and reno.After we settle the reno,then we start to search for banquet and BS.So not so tedious.
My parents also quite conservative one lah,it's just that we are all adults already so she has nothing to worry about.

 

[stubbilla]

my house not yet start reno, now there's nothing at all

so didn't buy anything for my house yet.

but we are very likely to spend over our agreed budget

initally we set $20K for reno and $10K for furniture & appliances. but now, reno is closed to $25K, some of the furniture we shortlisted are expensive, likely to spend much more...

 

[bunnygirl]

HP,

yupz..we gt the ID. its intro by my hubby campmate. cz her wife wk there bt nw resign liao..jz like wat u said. i onli reno living, kitchen n master. tt alreadi cost mi $13k. bt we r still trying 2 ask the manager to get discount on air con 4 us. cz he said he cn get offer 4 us n the hob n hood. he get 4 us frm mayer.

 

[stubbilla]

hi Jeslyn,
so u and Bao Bao are classmates.

then I'm surely not your friend coz I told Bao Bao b4 that my secondary sch is not in cck

 

[hakida]

Hi piglets,
i agree with HP,no need to spend a huge bomb on ur hse,because if u have kids in future,they will mess up the whole place....u can go to this shop in lavender there to buy ur electrical stuff,it's really cheap.

 

[bunnygirl]

Hi hayashi,

keke..hmm..wow..ur hse reno so ex! so hws the bill u all settle? wow..u ROM so early?

good for u..cz both of u gt plan carefully 1st..nt like mi..like bullet train..

 

[stubbilla]

hi hakida,
wow, u romed so long liao. initally me and FH also dun wanna have everything together, but because we both dun like the idea of ROMed liao but still live like bf & gf, so we decided to hold ROM & customary together. but we have no place to live after married, so need a new house. that's why everything all come together.

this year is financial stress on us coz got wedding, banquet and house reno

but still glad that I made this choice coz I only need one year to settle everything

 

[onee]

Cubby : Yup, oso looking around for wine supplier. Got 1 distributor from my galfriend, will check it out within the next 2 weeks.

Choosen wedding card, will collect next week and send from printing oso in the next 2 weeks. Managed to squeeze for no. of tables from MIL too, hehe... The most difficult among all prep, gotta make sure what I say is 'politically' right

Booked honeymoon during Natas this morning

[stubbilla]

[bunnygirl]

Hi HP,
