Hi Twinkle,
I dunno why oso. His mum juz told him tat. Then I asked, he nid to go back or not. He said dunno. I said, "ur mum keep telling us that she very modern, not pan tang, but in the end, this cannot, that cannot." My hub agreed too. But then I oso dun want to say anything liao. I juz told him, best is let me move back home now. I think can still meet and do things, juz cannot stay over at new hse.

I dun believe such things. I told hubby that I dun believe that we cun meet the day before too. It's silly. Nvm, I'm going to look for a new bf soon. Then he dun meet me, I'll go see show wif that guy on our eve. hehe....

Guest list still not ok? Wat abt ur cards?

Hi Odae,
1 week ah? U now staying wif her or ur own new hse? I oso dunno why got such rules. I asked my mum, but she din say anything. Last nite I asked her, so, after AD, when u want me to come back home. My mum din say anything, only smile. My dad said 3 days later lor. My niece said, immediately. haha.... I said, u curse me ah? Then I said, ya, we'll come back the next day to play mj.

I believe still can meet hub and do things.

Now, hub told me his mum said the cards we cun send out to relative yet. Must be after GDL. But frens ok.

Anyone heard that give cards to mum's bro, have to give a special type of cards?

Hi YiYi,
No planning for honeymoon yet. Have to depend on our budget. Getting married real headache. Got to worry abt money too.

Lee Annn,
I think we both of the same prob here. Luckily my mum din give me much prob. She said everything dun want, means everything really dun want. Even when my aunt told her, must, she oso said, no nid. Before u tell everything to ur hub, u must tell him not to say. Tell him the consequences if he said. Cos, u all staying together. Ask him better try to make all happy then to tell and make all unhappy. I too tell hubby that. My in-laws stay 1 unit away from me. Whenever my hub on hi-fi loud, she will call him. But that day she called me and slammed down the phone on me. I was so angry. Cos, my mum dun do such things to me. I dun get scolding at home. It's always me scolding pple. Dun quarrel. I tried to endure all nonsense now. And dun ask pple anymore. I told my mum that too. Since now already ti qing and already said wat they want, do it and the rest forget it. Dun ask and give ourselves prob.

I really hope that I'll be happy planning and preparing for my wedding.

Hi Ling,
Eve still ok. At least, can do more at new hse and no nid rush home. And furthermore my workplc near here. If I go back home hor, I sure tell my hubby I not going to work liao. Or, I go my fren's hse sleep ah. They better dun make me angry. If not, I pack up things at new hse and move back to my mum's hse for good.
 
Hi Sallen,
What hap to ur mum? Is she feeling better now?

Ok, tell me the story after ur wedding.

Tok abt bridal car, I pissed off. Recently I get angry easily leh. Think I going to fall sick soon. sign.....
I was thinking of using my bro's BM for my AD. If we dun use BS car, we can save $200. Hubby agreed at first. Then tat day, dunno how his mum told him, he came back and face black black. He asked, if we use ur bro's car, how much we must him? And then he asked me who send his parents to restaurant and wat abt my parents. I so xian to ans, I juz said, then u see if still want to use my bro's car or not lor. Juz checked wif fren, she said, go that time, they can take cab there themselves or juz ask someone to send them there. Think she thot of asking our driver to send us to restaurant and come back fetch them. I dunno if anyone doing that. But I not sure, will my bro find it troublesome. Cos, it's from Harbour front to Jurong West leh. My fren said, go home that time, must arrange one car to send parents home or use our bridal car. And his parents can take same car as us to go home.

I think the main issue here is, who is going to fetch and send them. It's like, they are the one getting married, not us.

Even make up oso like dat. She expect me to make up at home and so she can use my MUA. She keep saying other pple oso like dat. I told her, no ah, most pple go there then make up. I'll stick to this.
 
Hi no-time,
wow, you miss me ah .... *touched*

you can just sms me, don't worry about disturbing me okie ... at the most I reply you a bit late

So good to see smurfette fresh in the morning !!! When exactly is Smurfette's wedding? Her dinner is at Hyatt, right ?? Will she be "pan tang" since our weddings are only about 1 month from hers??
 
purple: dun get so angry lah...
using car by the BS only fetch u and ur hubby. if u required them to pick up his side or both side. additional of min $50. ask them if they willing to bear the cost lor. and tell ur MIL that if she wan to make up, the cost will be another $50. i dun think she wan to bear that cost. Like my mum... i will leave my car at home for my brother to ferry her. and her hair stylist will come n she foot the bill and the make up too. i think its the understanding n the 1st communications one have to make.
 
ah ger,

sorry, i shut off after the posting yesterday... the PS apptmt was at 10.30am, that's y got a bit of time to come in... heehee...

yesterday was lucky, took photos near victoria theater(drizzling oni) & sentosa(no rain at all)....

YiYi:
I also that kind... :-) what to do... sad lor. Sometimes sadness can be self afflicted..

Sallen:
Sounds like me too! I'm gonna try to close my eyes and just keep smiling to whatever that doesn't turn out right.. :-) Thanks for the breakdown of the angpaos. Now my turn to sort mine out..

LeeAnn & Purple:
Poor U have to deal with these things.. things are gonna be fine soon!

I had alot of hiccups and quarrels with my HB & my own family at the earlier stage of the preparation too... but they're now over.. I'm so glad that my HB's parents have no demands from the start till now and they just leave everything to us to plan what we want..

Wow so many traditions to follow... anyway I'm not following any..
 
For those ladies who wants to try herballife.

It's a powder typr of supplement,u can mix with milk or fruit juices,up to ur preferences.They come in different flavours,strawberry and tropical fruits.For those who wants to lose weight,beside drinking this,u have to eat their pills also.For instance,u don't take any meals,drink the supplement as a meals,but before u drink that,u have to eat the pills first.But the result is not so fast leh,and u must do exercise at the same time.

I was drinking the supplement early this year,trying to gain some weight,but didn't see any results.So, i have stopped already.

Cooldevil,i didnt receive ur mails leh,can u resend again.Thanks

Hi Ling,
To her, if we use BS car, we can ask the driver to go wherever we like. Dunno wat kind of thinking is that. My MUA quote $80. She thinks it's ok. But the prob is, she wants to make up at home then go restaurant. She said, it's funny if she dress up and go restaurant w/o MU. Then wat abt me? I'm the bride leh. Wun it be strange for me to go wif MU but not the gown? Cos, my WG nid pple to help me. Impossible I get my jie mei to stay till evening or come again here in the evening to help? That time u told us abt the $50 for any no. of pple, still available?

Yesterday she said my hubby nid to fetch me back before 9am. Then she asked me my MUA 1 hr enuf to MU for me. I said, shld be. Then she said, dun shld be, must cfm. How to cfm lah, u tell me? How wld I noe? I juz ans cos if not, later she said I din ans her. I'm gg crazy liao.
 
They inviting 20 pple from M'sia. And hor, they will be staying at their hse. The prob. is, got plc to sleep meh? Then hubby said, his dad, 2 bros will come over to our hse and sleep. Well, I cun say much in this case. I juz told hubby that why dun they ask them stay in hotel better. 20 pple, how to squeeze into 2 bedrooms? I told hubby that I dun want them to come over our new hse and stay. Imagine, that's our wedding nite leh. Got family members ok lah. But not those that I dunno.

I really dun dare to go over her hse now. Will let hubby go tok to her and he can come back tell me. If my own mum, I still can tok sense wif her. But she's my MIL, I cun even tok back. Everytime she says us, we'll have to keep quiet. My hubby oso keep quiet. Then both of us come home then start shouting at each other.
This is WEDDING.
Ok lah, dun complain anymore, later u all oso bored by me. Sorry huh.
 
Hi hayashi, blueX2, jasline & poohie
Sent! :P

Hi poohie
Each 15R cost abt $60/- so not worth to develop so much eventhough my BS give me 27-15R pixs... thus I choose mag style and top up another $1K+ for my ablum with 60++ pixs cum 1 5R and 3R repeated poses ablums and 48 4R- 6 poses for relatives and friends..... u can add as many pixs as u want on 1 page but we dun want our pixs to be small so only choose 60++ pixs.... anyway, my BS will give us back all our pix proofs and burn a CD for us...
happy.gif


Depends on where U going....desaru is also a nice place also quite cheap (normal package) ...actually what is impt is how much yr BS charge to engage the MU, photographer and asst to go overseas...some very ex...as for mine I didnt fork out any $$ cos I used to rebate $$. I only pay for their ferry tickets. Then the whole trip we spent another $200+ for food, accodmation and seasports.
 
hi cooldevil n baobao can i see ur pix too?
cooldevil, i tinking of doing photo shoot in bintan too... but was tinking of banyan tree! but very ex! hahaa do u haf any to recommend? my mail is [email protected]
 
cooldevil,

i saw ur pixs already.U look different from each outfits and hairstyle.Some looks mature,sexy,a few looks like young gal.Very versatile....
I like ur two-piece maroon colour gown.A liitle bit of indian style.
Ur hb also very vian,changed into so many outfits..
 
purple: .. let me find the contact n give u. tell ur MUA to come at 7am (no surcharge after 7am). Tell ur MIL that no more such priviliages for the Bridal car.. thats during her time.. not now. if not get ur brothers or relatives with cars to pick them. i can understand u, but think its more forgiving n taking... if u need service apartments contact let me know... cos i m oso getting one apartment for my overseas guest. Hotel Asia or Orchard Service Apartment (killiney). u are not complaining lah... u just wan to vent ur frustration cos ur Hubby cant seems to decide wat he want and he got to listen to his mum... cos its his mum after all. solve the problem one by one... ok?

Hi Ling,
Thanks for ur help. Ur fren sms liao. She quoted me $80 w/o hairstyle. Will check wif my MIL if she want. My MUA oso quoted her same price but will simple hairstyle. But dun think my MUA got time to do for her. Will let her decide herself.

I understand. That's why, I've been keeping rather quiet recently. We juz try to do wat she said and see how things go.

Dun think they want to spend that kind of money. I'm so scared they might suggest come stay my new hse leh. I dun like the idea. Regret staying so near them.

Hi hayashi
Hee hee....I dun really like to bun up my hair cos looked mature ... dun really like my AD WG(long sleeves) hairstyle. My photographer told my MUA to let down my hair and do simple hairstyle for my outdoor PS. I like my causal PS cos looks more like me....They specially choose that "Indian" gown for the Kelong PS....

Err...my hubby one to protest...ke ke ke... he supposed to have 6 suits but he find it troublesome, thus he only changed 4 suits...all chosen by our photographer and MUA ..... he like that "matrix" suit so he request to bring it to Bintan as well
happy.gif


Hi keiki
Wow banyan tree is really ex! If I'm not wrong, 1N cost abt $200+ per person.... really not worth it cos limited places to take PS unless u want to travel ard Bintan....... what I suggest in that u either stay at Nirawana Resort or Bintan Lagoon and u check with Bintan (dun know which company Banyan belong to) whether u can go banyan for some PS.....

I know a few places in M'sia has nice clean beach, waterfalls and etc.... or Cant remember which thread liao, a couple did mention that they rent a yacht and ferry them to nearby Kelong for PS.... I think the thread name has the word Kelong..... maybe u can check it out :P
 
hi purple,

any un happy tin jus feel free to say it out,tat wil make u feel much better,althought i cant help much.. but i stil can be ur listener...

my mum surfer brian,liver n breast cancer,since 2yr ago after her operation,she can't really recall back alot of thing n always forget things easily..
tat's why when my brother married,i hav to help help him on behalf of my mum on his "GDL"n"AD"
and tat also a parts of reason,why i tel my MIL,i do not wan to many "GDL" item from her n "si dian ji" i also do not need..jus bring 12 oranges n a small small red packet wil do liao..

as wat i know,mostly bridal car fetch "nu fang" parents to restaurant.unless the "nu fang" say don need,then u can ask ur driver to go fetch "na fang" family..but if u are goin wit MIL,then of course bridal car hav to fetch u,u can pay the dirver some money n ask him go fetch ur parents to restaurant..
after dinner if u need the driver,to send any of urs parents home,need to pay the driver money,if u goin back together,driver wont charge u liao..

if the "na fang" really tat "ma fang",then u better rent from ur BS, and if ur parents not "ma fang" type,then u arrange ur brother to pick n send then home..save trouble,save money also,once in a life time sure ur brother wont mind about the red packet n also wont feel any troublesome..

as for ur friend,if best best best friend or poor poor poor friend,jus pay some money to him or her n ask to take taxi home,or ask ur "xiong di" who stay near arrange n send him or her home...

MIL wan to make up of course u can't ask her to pay herself,if not she wil not happy,jus be "good ppl" lor,let ur MUA do for her,n ask hubb pay for it lah,since ur hubb so "listen' to his mum words,then tel him treat tis as a small token for his mum lor...ha ha ha....

ur MUA charge u only $50... my MUA charge me $80 to $100 hor,my MIL also jus mention to me who help her do MU on my AD,i jus say u can use my MUA lor...some time need to close one eyes also..

actually i m a veri "cat" ppl,i don really like ppl come to house...ha ha...

so on my AD,i wont be goin back to my hse lor,b coz,i scare if so many ppl come,sure step here,step there n dirty my place lor,i not at home,who goin to clean for me lei???

haha..i veri "cat" hor...
happy.gif
... tat y my hubb always say tat i got "jie bi zhen" of cleanless...say i must go see doctor liao... hehe...
happy.gif
