[skylar]

Hi all,

been too busy with my new house reno so hardly got time to come in here as often lor..

Mandy,
so ur PS is at Sentosa & esplanade eh? beautiful place for both....

Gin,
like wat Eternity say lor, it really depends on u leh, whether u superstitious anot, but also u gotta check with ur jie mei lor, whether she mind u attending her wedding bor

 

[kikilala]

Hi BluAngle,
I didnt MTM cos I managed to get my size on the model I want. I understand for Heatwave, they can only MTM sizes, the design will be same as those on display. Cant really remember the exact figure, but i think need to top-up $20-40 for MTM. The outlet in International plaza has more bridal shoes than other outlets. Leapin lizard can choose your own design, but I find too ex.

Cos i always thought since WG so long, shoes not impt, no need to spurge on it.

Circusbugs

Me,, act I move in n stay together with my in-laws after my custom weddin..tat Y ,,my reno done so fast..

 

[circusbugs]

cos my MIL initially say can hv white gold, then now say must be yellow gold. then husband tell her i hate yellow gold. then she say it's ok... since me not teochew, actually dun need si tian jun. then next moment she says my husband shd be the one buying and not her... so is it true?

[stubbilla]

hi circusbugs,
actually si dian jin is for teochews. but in singapore, everything become rojak laio. so now most brides get si dian jin despite the dialect groups.

think si dian jin is from MIL, not husband.

 

[chubbyrain]

Hi Coven,
For my AD, I intend to make wrist corsages for my jiemeis lor.. I will make the wrist corsage same color theme as my hotel color theme.. No hv other creative ideas leh.. *scratch head*
For the guys, not sure too leh, usually guys very boring wan, they cant b bothered..

bebe..
me oso very excited to buy the material and start to learn lor, sure very fun if we can do it together but i think its easier if we can go to one of the houses to do, if not will be very messy lor..

exciting..
me not very sure who going leh, but if i am not wrong, chloe is going..maybe u can check it out with her..

today seem pretty quiet..guess everyone is busy with work leh..okie gals work hard k, another 3hrs to go and we can have a great weekend liao..

[chubbyrain]

Hi Nickel,
Fren me lah.. Pretty pls pls?

To make amends, I shall bring my wrist corsage n try to teach u gals lor.. Though i used to fail my home economics sewing portion.. Haha..

Hi Forest,
Thanks for sparing me..

When u comin back huh?

 

[ivory]

<font color="aa00aa">chubbyrain…</font>
wah… ur wrist corsage very nice leh…. who tot of this pattern ah?

think we can do a biz oni this lah… we dun charge expensive lor… tell u how to go abt it next time we meet

huh… next Fri finale liao…. boy… n I din to get watch much episodes leh…. I tink the actual burning of books got nothing to do with Xiang Shao Long…. cos yesterday I go read a little bit of history… seems ppl are starting to criticize his ‘country management techniques’ n a lot of scholars lah, poets lah.. are writing a lot of stuff abt him so under the Li Si’s advise to burn all the books n anything that dun agree with his way of management..

so I gues… anything to do with Xiang Shao Long really a plot lor…

but in history really got rumour say Ying Zheng is Lu Buwei’s son… but hor… the Lao Ai was not a Military Commander leh… he was smuggled into the palace as a ‘enunch’ leh.. so the Empress can have affair with him.. *blur*


<font color="aa00aa">Yvonne…</font>
bo bian.. im not the academic kinda person… ask me to read history u wan me die ah… got book open infront of me I sure sleep one… except for comics n chinese novels… hahahha… I burn midnite oil oso will finish reading them

<font color="aa00aa">coven…</font>
mayb instead of asking ur xiong di n jie meis to wear the formal suits n dress.. y not ask them to wear something different.. mayb with theme of the 60s… guys can tie a bandanna round the neck, gals can tie a scarf on their head… sure very ‘yu zhong bu tong’

<font color="aa00aa">c0co / bebe…</font>
if u wan to learn dance that u can dance alone… then bellydance lor… or u wan more technical stuff can try ballet? err.. Jazz? err… flamenco? err… ethnic chinese dances? err…aiyo.. so many how to tell u … kekekke…

 

[piglets]

HP ~ Si dian jin or si dian diamond are from MIL... Remember don't let hubby pay for huh....

 

[momoechan]

hi ladies
TGIF

sorry, wasn't able to log in earlier cos was away for a morning seminar and then came back to the office for a meeting.

chubbyrain
hee hee, u looked until so detailed ah? me just see overall cute can already

oh yah, next Fri is the last episode of Xun Qi Ji, die die must reach home by 9pm to watch, totally understand u

lynn
don't worry, u were working out the night before, can treat urself to a little meal

also, u look good now, only need to maintain this shape till ur PS &amp; AD, sinful meals once a month is alright

nickel
don't think i'll be able to join u gals for the outing next tue or fri, next week fully 'booked'. have fun

coven
actually, i wasn't planning to have any wrist corsages or corsages for the jie meis or xiong dis until the gals mentioned about it. still deciding if i really need it cos it's not a priority for me. so... it's totally up to u, wrist corsages (for the gals) and corsages (for the guys) should be good enough

c0co
hee hee, it's like that one, we gals love to comment on people, sometimes, have to Da Zui Ba, cos i can get really mean with my comments

i think the one who's really good with handicraft is ivory, she's going to be the ring pillow teacher for some of the briides, if i'm not wrong

exciting
chloe was saying she's going for the style bride show on sunday, u may want to check her posting yesterday?

 

[stubbilla]

hi bao bao,
think u address to wrong person rite. should be circusbugs lah

 

[coven]

chubbyrain,
wrist corsages... seems to be a cheaper way hor ..

hee... let mi know when u teaching hor ... i also want to learn!!

 

[coven]

ivory!

my jiemei will be gamed enough ... but the guys ahhhh

hubby SURE protest one~

kkekek .. but i do like the idea! tin can sound them out

 

[nickel]

chubbyrain..
okie..u r forgiven lah..must go learn and teach us how to make k.. i so excited liao leh..

yvonne..
think we will meet up mid of may since of of us cant make it next week..do join us for the fun k..

ivory..
can u do handicraft?teach us leh?will u be making for ur jiemei?

 

[momoechan]

ivory
hee hee, that's why if history is replayed out on tv in the form of an entraining programme, it's alright to learn from it right?

me too, prefer to see the stuff visually than reading it but if it's in english, it's alright

wow, u actually went to read up on the history of Qing Shi Huang? good on u gals

Yah, usually what u see on tv or movies are quite different from the actual facts, they usually distort it to make provide more entertainment value

 

[ivory]

<font color="aa00aa">Yvonne...</font>
hahaha... u see me too up liao lah... wait other gals really tot i can perform miracles lah... kekekek

<font color="aa00aa">Coven...</font>
err... if ur xiong di thinks 60s too 'ah1 xia3' for them... then mayb cowboy theme lor.... think they shd be fine with dat rite... quite macho macho feeling leh..

<font color="aa00aa">nickel...</font>
my handicraft skills so so lah.. if need my help on simple craftwork must let me see the pic (if got actual sample will be better) then i try n figure out how to do lor... but simple simple stuff oni lah... if too difficult i oso need teachers to teach me... then i can teach u gals

for my jie meis... i havent think yet leh... cos oni 4-5 of them... shd be fast n easy lor

 

[ivory]

<font color="aa00aa">Yvonne...</font>
hahaha... of cos not really go n read lah... just go to the web n search for info lor... very easy wat... if ask me to read books i faint ah.... but i prefer to read in chinese.. easier to understand

now i also know y "Ba Wang Bie Ji" came abt liao.. kekekke...

must not lemme watch too much HK serials... last nite my hubby had a hard time from me cos i start bombarding him with all the history questions he nearly fainted.. his reasoning... he havent finish reading n understanding the "San Guo Zhi" yet... hahahhaha...

 

[eternity]

mandy,

it's like that lah... for the gown they can still put it back on the rack for those with OTR packages... but to ask them to exchange it to photos, it's $$$ outflow for them... better than nothing lor... as long as you are getting wat you want and the gown is wat you liked, can liao....

luckystar,
hmmm, another bride on 23 sept... maybe you can update our database list above?

my WG is a bustier with lace and beadings as the details... EG will be halter, haven't decide on the details... most likely beadings also...

how about yours? is yours a MTM or OTR package with Wedding Affair?

piang... dun make me stress... i just cut a portion of the write up for u to see can liao

"Ba Wang Bie Ji" :-
By the end of 203 BC, many of the lesser kings and barons had deserted Xiang Yu. One night, while his army was surrounded by Liu Bang’s forces, Xiang Yu was sitting in his tent with his concubine Lady Yu (Yu1 Ji1) when he heard the sound of songs from Chu, his homeland, coming from the besiegers. “Can it be that Han has conquered Chu, that they have so many men of Chu with them?” he exclaimed. Xiang Yu sat late into the night drinking with Lady Yu and singing this melancholic song:

“My strength uprooted mountains,
My spirit overstepped the world;
But the times are against me,
And my horse can gallop no more
When he can gallop on more
What can I do?
And what is to become of Lady Yu.”

He sang it repeatedly until tears ran down his retainers’ cheeks. He then dashed out of the tent and gathered his remaining forces in an attempt to break through enemy lines. When they reached the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu gave up and turned around. He summoned a good friend and bade him to cut off his head, on which there was a high price. Thus, Xiang Yu’s life ended, and the Han was victorious.
