hptang74 : I'm not with BS. Collagen mask was tied with facial package.

fairymoss : We'll be going Bali and Bangkok.

cubby : See my message to fairymoss about HM. We've selected the invitation card, will collect next week or so then send for printing. The process can be vexing, especially on the guest list and sitting arrangements

hi gals
Wa, scaring... just one morning and i can't find my last night posting. :b

hi west 38 club
West mall is alright w me, best is BP hehehe cos i stay in BP.
happy.gif
For day-wise, mon is out, the rest no prob.

hi chubbyrain and blurq
Ya, the diff is quite significant so must take note, must hv fitting closer to end of the day rather than early morning. :P
Water rentation works like a camel. If u dun drink enuff water, body will auto-store water thus water retention. Drink lots of water during the day, lesser before u sleep to prevent 'pluffy' eyes.

Hi c0co
Ya lor, i tell him he's the fear factor. The eye2 is not as scaring. There was once i xiao on abt horror movie, rent abt 5-6 video to watch every wk, end up very immune to the horror stuff. haha..

hi Jennl
no prob.
happy.gif
enjoy yourself in your overseas trip.
Ur BS so strict? Y not u find out when will the new shipment comes in then go down and choose? U can 'rechoose' ur AD gowns?

hi forest
Yes, very busy. Auditors are here... but hey, still try and find time to sneak in here.
happy.gif


hi bebe
Haha.. get ur FH to join us. Definately u wont hv any prob chasing him home, he will be scare off by all of us 38-ing..

hi cheesecake
Have yet really say hi. Welcome and make yourself comfortable. Basically here, we share info and experience. Most of us are in various stage of wedding/hse preparation. Just contribute and share.
happy.gif


ciao~
 
Hi Bebe,

Is it in The QVM?? I wanted to get them to do a personalise on when we were there last Aug. But they need at least 2 weeks time. And there is a minimum requirement. Can't remember but was definitely a lot of kg.. Me dun want so much, coz the sweets are quite sweet and only need a number of quantity. They allow oversea order too.. But you need to pay for freight. So in the end will cost more.. Anyway, will not be going there this year.
The printing seems interesting, can I have the contact.. Do they print labels, like ribbons?
Tot of having it to tie to the favors..

Hi Chubbyrain,

I only know Shanghai got nice food. Dun worry, maybe you will see a lot of ideas there.. Make sure your eyes must be big big.
 
Hi moonlight,
no hotels in mind. as long as high ceiling can liao. of coz not those 6 stars hotels, too expensive liao.

Hi Mooee,
ya, went Orchard hotel before. nice nice.
 
Hi circusbugs,
wow~! Hyatt very nice leh
happy.gif

envy u, can go Bangkok shop shop liao. if I got time, also wanna go Bangkok coz heard can buy wedding favour there at very low cost
happy.gif
 
Hi Bao Bao,
ya ya, think the Jurong shop is that one
happy.gif


Hi oraia,
not keeping EG coz I always like to buy clothes, so next time if got dinner functions, got excuse to buy clothes mah
biggrin.gif
 
Hi Yvonne,
I missed the nasi lemak at tgr pagar mkt, its so good n cheap..
happy.gif


Hi bebe,
I never skipped lunch too, i cant.. Guess i like to eat too much, so i juz try to eat lesser lor..
happy.gif


Hi Lynn,
Hmm, ur theory sounds more convincing.. Alright, i will drink lots more water.. Is there such a thing as over drinking ?:P

Hi kk,
Oh dear, I hope i dun eat too much there.. Hee, the dumplings there r real cheap n good, the mala steamboat too.. Gosh!! I got to control, if not i will regret it when i come back
sad.gif
 
hi gals
i'm back from a sinful lunch
crazy.gif
had ginger/spring onion chicken with rice PLUS a cornetto! my colleagues saw me eating that when i came back to the office and they're like "how many calories is that?"
lol.gif
all of them know that i'm on a self proclaimed diet
lol.gif


hi chubbyrain
u may want to try taking more fibre to help u 'output' more easily? eg banana or papaya?

hi bebe
hee hee, yah, over here, we're spoilt for choice, so much food to eat, hard to skip lunch lah
lol.gif


hi lynn
is jurong east ok for u?

hi kk
QVM is Queen Victoria Market, it's a wet/flea market in melbourne. they sell loads of stuff there but not as big as bangkok's chatuchat, i think, never been to bangkok but i've heard that their chatuchat is huge.

for sweets, u can also get them in brisbane... well... not exactly in brisbane city, it's about an hr's drive, to the north, towards sunshine coast. can't remember the area (been a while since i've been there) but i know there's a sweet making factory there. they were here at raffles city for the recent australia promo.
 
hi hp,

yah, reno need to hv some spare $$$, cos not all things will be cover in reno, eg, if you wanna change hot and cold pipe, will incur more cost liao.... then if you want certain materials, may also cost more... so hv to be careful loh....

hi mooee,

wah, you really fortunate leh, still got mum to iron clothes for you... last time, when i am at my mum's house, i've got iron my brother's clothes too leh....

hi moonlight,

you same as me, i also scare of dogs.... that's why no pets at home... hehehe... ;p
 
hi babysheep
how have u been? u must have been very busy right? do take care of urself ok?

hi chubbyrain
yup, the nasi lemak at tanjong pagar market is good &amp; cheap, i like that too cos u eat till u're full
happy.gif


er... yes, u can't over drink as well. read in the papers previously there was this guy in UK who died from overdoze of water, he drank too much water. so, must drink moderately also ok?

hi bebe
u can't make it on 1 Apr ah? ok, nevermind, we meet up with u when u're back, have fun in HK
happy.gif
 
Hi Odie

I got my photo screen thru' SB forum lor, someone was selling it. Heeee...
happy.gif


If about A4 size, then should be 8R lah, couldn't be 15R, that's pretty huge. From what I see in your pix. Looks similar size to mine.
 
Hi Yvonne,
Well, my body is a little weird, when i hv PMS, watever fibre i eat dun help at all.. I can finish a lot of papayas or bananas n still no output.. I tink some pple will hv diarrhoe.. So far, the only effective fruits r prunes or apricots :P Okie, we better stop all this tok.. If not, the rest cant take it..
lol.gif
 
hi chubbyrain
hee hee, digestive system talk after lunch, ok what, then can help with our 'dieting' mah
lol.gif
aiyoh, like that ah? what about those fibre supplements from pharmacies or GNC? they may help also?
 
hi ladies,
wa, jus came back from my lunch break and so many postings already...

exciting,
u take care ya? why the stiff neck? izzit bcos of ur sleeping position or pillow? once in a blue moon i'd wake up with a stiff neck... like slept out of position like that... not sure if you're experiencing the same thing... ask your hubby to 'rou yi rou'
happy.gif


ivory,
wah, 50 tables ah? ya lor, $17 quite ex... maybe then that couple had a tradeoff due to the shark's fins...
happy.gif


btw ladies, are u intending to serve shark's fins for the dinner... my hubby quite against it due to how the fins are 'harvested' (brain freeze.. can't think of a better word...) but we also worried tt it'll not look good le...
uhoh.gif


bebe,
aiya, wasted, cannot meet up wif u... enjoy your trip ya? btw, the m'sia mega sale ends on 31 Mar.. maybe u can go there 1 day earlier... to shop!!!
rofl.gif

like ur idea abt the wordings on the sweets.. read abt them in one bridal mag, but apparently they'll cost an arm and a leg... you have any lobangs?
aiya, can carry off midriff even for PS already very good liao... me still having hesitations baring my arms...
lame.gif
hmmm... think you'll be one sexy and spunky bride...
wink.gif


nickel,
hehe... fellow monkey!!! got your pics... you've got a very nice collarbone!!! *envy*
happy.gif
the 2nd one has more details and dunno y, feel your figure looks more 'hourglass' (waist is more pronounced) in the 2nd pic... initially tot that the material and colour of the first gown nicer, but think they're actually the same... the 2nd gown's colour looks 'duller' more bcos of the lack of flash when u took the pic? so if u ask me to vote, the 2nd one!!!
happy.gif
but ah, are u choosing both for PS? cos think both are pretty similar... for PS, u may wish to choose a more different design ie. halterneck, spagetti straps, etc instead of 2 bustiers...
happy.gif


lynn,
me BP bride too...!!
happy.gif
so we gang up against them and vote for Genki at BP k?? hahaha... wah, u very daring ah... me dun dare to watch all these movies... esp after i left school... more and more timid liao...
happy.gif
 
hi feroy
if u don't want to serve shark's fin, u might want to get them to serve the 3 treasures soup? i think they were made out of fish maw, scallop &amp; crab meat. my friend did that for her wedding at rasa sentosa. i didn't even notice the difference, like shark's fin soup. u might want to check with ur hotel if they have this? i think they should have an alternative for shark's fin since there's quite a bit of campaign against serving it at banquets.
 
Hi Chubbyrain,,
Eat moderately.. Who knows once you go there, you might be sick of all the dumpling.. all taste alike. Talking about mala steamboat, had one yesterday night with hubby. Not really ma and la.. not that shiok.. I think my menses coming... craving for spicy food.
When will you be going to Shanghai and for how long??

Hi Yvonne,
Same here. Never been to Bangkok before. But heard of the market, Things there is cheaper than HK. Maybe is the currency exchange. One of my guys friend went for massage and only cost S$10!! so cheap.. the price you pay here and go there and have massage everyday..
Brisbane.. mmm.. can ask a friend to bring back.. She coming back in Aug.. dun know if she can carry them back... She might be touring Az.
Heng, you want some of the sweets, I still have some in the fridge.. well preserve.. no melting stuff.. I can't take it.. It's too sweet for me.. Me no sweet stuff..

Hi Chubbyrain and Yvonne,

Take an apple daily. It's help to trim the stomach and has high fibre too... And can help polish the teeth... when you bite it.. dun use it to literally polish your teeth...

Hi Exciting,

Try to massage your neck as and when. Hope it helps better.. If not. use a heat pad and put over the neck. Help in circulation..

Hi Feroy,

We will have Shark fins.
Will look kind of funny not to have.
You can change them for Fish maws with crab...I am not sure what your hotel have.
 
yvonne,
oh, always tot 3 treasures also included shark's fins...
lame.gif
okie, will check with the hotel...
actually, we're facing some pressure from our families... they think that not to serve shark's fins is like not having a banquet at all.. *sigh*
 
Hi Everyone *waves*
came to know this thread...i'm also an Oct Bride
happy.gif


Hi feroy, i won't be serving sharks' fins for my dinner for the same reasons...changing it to buddha jump over the wall minus the fins...my mum told me to sort of announce to the guests b4 start of dinner our reason for not serving the fins and the replacement dish lor to get their understanding...
 
hi kk
yah, bangkok has lots of good and cheap stuff, u can get those loreal stuff at bangkok for half the price! i stocked up abit on the body range when i was in phuket last feb, hee hee (see, how not to be a loreal agent!
lol.gif
)

hee hee, actually, i'm not really into sweets/candies as well. that's why i didn't buy them when i went to the sweets factory or while at raffles city.

yup, that's what i'm doing now, have an apple in the morning for breakfast every weekday. a couple of my colleagues are also following this diet now hee hee

hi feroy
hee hee, i also don't know leh, u may want to check with ur hotel? actually, u really can't tell the difference with the 3 treasures soup, i really tot there was shark's fin in it. well... who's the one paying for the dinner? if it's u &amp; ur hubby, then u make the call
happy.gif
 
hi tomodachi,
welcome to this thread! you wanna give us your details ie. date, venue, BS, love nest, etc cos we've a table of details of all the Oct brides which our dear Ivory updates every mon...

Hee, i eat an apple almost everyday after dinner..
happy.gif

I will be going to Shanghai for 4 days fr 5th to 8th April.

Hi Yvonne,

I think you got one room in your house that stock up your stuff...
But it seems like girls tend to stock up things... It like the better to be safe than regret stuff...

Hi! Thks for the warm welcome
happy.gif

My details:
PS 12 Jul, AD 23 Oct, Imperium, Dang, Sengkang.

Hi Feroy,
i didn't have to top up for it..my dinner plc suggested this when i told them i dun wan the fins...my mum actually suggested the 3 treasures soup too but they offered me the buddha jump over wall (which i think is better cos got whole baby abalone, fish maw, scallop, mushroom, crab meat etc). lucky 4 me, our parents r fine with us not serving fins lor...

Hi Yvonne,
yup u're rite! tomodachi=friends
happy.gif


Hi Chubbyrain,
Good to c u too
happy.gif
..been busy with contractor hunting...very shag
lame.gif
...finally settled n can start reno soon...will be going to Dang this wk for design consultation...very excited
rofl.gif
 
hi chubbyrain
try eating the apple half an hour before ur dinner, it's supposed to help with digestion. i read somewhere that by right, we're supposed to take fruits before our meals so that they can help with the digestion.

since u're going to shanghai, will u be tailoring a cheong sum there? i heard they do really good cheong sums there, not sure how much tho hee hee

hi kk
hahaha, no room to store the stuff, only a small drawer in my wardrobe to store them. u should check out my toilet, like a display shelf for loreal &amp; soothys!
lol.gif


hee hee, i'm supposed to be busy today but addicted to this site, keep logging in to check the messages!
lol.gif


hi ivory
thanks, got ur email
happy.gif
hee hee, i'm like u too, got too much nightmares from these horror movies till my hubby also ban me from watching them. even when something scary appears on tv or in those forwarded email attachments, he'll warn me first before i see them
lol.gif
 
tomadachi,
wow, that's a good deal then... most places will usually ask for more $$$...
sad.gif


oh well, parents and relatives do 'nag' whenever we say we intend not to serve shark's fins but i know if we really insist, they also won't argue one la... guess me kindof lucky... my parents quite bo chap abt alot of things, letting us do whatever we wish to.. all those guo da li etc also dun need... hehe... also not inviting their relatives... only my immediate uncles and aunties...
biggrin.gif


bebe,
i'll pm u in a while...
 
Hi Bluelake,

You also went maldives? which resort did you go to? Like you, it took me a while to get over the honeymoon mood when I return to back to work. Maldive is really a paradise.
