(2004) Brides of year 2004

[seren_ade]

Good Morning ladies...

actually there's still couple of months to our individual weddings.. any1 visiting beauty salons, good & affordable beauty salons. Cos I am overwhelm by the adverts well I am not too sure whether which is good & effective..

Such as for face, body, (Gees!!) bust enhancement??

Does bust development really works???? Just curious to try.. wow this really embarrassing..

but well its all gals here..

Hi March Brides,
How did you celebrate your 1-month wedding anniversary? I'm still thinking thinking...

Whoa.. was busy last night making thank you cards to be sent to my guests... you all distributed the photos liao?

 

[kikilala]

Hi BlueAngle,
I'm not sure if SG got rose garden or not, but I thought SG weather not suitable for growing roses. Maybe Botanical Garden will have? Have you check there yet?

Spottiwoode have those old rows of shophouses. Like those build before WW2. But I thought its quite oriental looking, cos its at Tanjang Pargah area, more chinese there then.

Yep, Sentosa have lots of those colonial houses, can ask your photographer to give you suggestions of where is the best spot. There is old small church there with stain glass window, quite dreamy!

The orchid garden is just in front of it, the pics turn out really well at the orchid garden with the whole wall of orchids as backdrop.
Very nice colours!

[kokchien]

Hi Lambie,
I have already bought wedding favors for my guests. I'll be having 2 types, one for church wedding, other for wedding dinner. I already wrapped the church wedding ones..it's a very cute incense tray with 2 cones. If you want the contact for them let me know, he may quote you a cheaper price if you buy in bulk..^_^

As for my wedding dinner's favor, i'm still in the midst of completing it...it's a handmade tile which i bought and will be painting it. Then will have to wrap it. I bought these from the Stencil House, very cute and definitely unique! Let me know if you're interested and I pass you their contact. They will probably give you a discount as well if you buy in a big amount, but for this, you'll have to decorate yourself.

I've looked through several websites and they have pretty innovative and unique favors.
Here are some of them(my personal favourites):
http://www.wedding-favourites.com/page/page/768294.htm (bought some tulle circles from them to wrap my wedding favors)
http://www.myweddingfavours.com/
http://sweet-manna.com/about_us.html
http://www.theweddingthoughts.com/
http://www.livingretreat.com/gifts.htm

As for wines, my parents ordered from Cold Storage...think the wine they wanted was on promotion last week, so they quickly ordered them...heh...

 

[polosportjg]

Hi gals,

yes I agree with Peg, No worries just come & join us. Is a get toegther & sharing session.

Hi Serenity,
I have just signed up abt 1 mth ago with Body wellness. So busy, then MC , till now hevn't visit them since 1mth ago. They are not pushy & hve quite a variety of services where you can choose from.

Currently, I also attend california gym ( a bit lazy nowadays) , st gregory spa (relaxing got swimming pool, gym, jaccuzi) & facial with Cos Lab.Most of them, I am with them for at least 2.5 yrs. Think women needs to upkeep a bit, esp nowadays very stressful at work, for me, I can see wrinkles appearing

So no choice , hve to spend $$$

Hopefully, till my big day it is worth while the effort!

 

[chubbyrain]

Morning gals!

Hi coco,
Plan sounds great, on ah!
Hmm, u girlie gal ah? So sweet, i tomboy gal wan.. Hee hee..

Hi meimei,
Well, u hv 1 load off ur mind then, cos ur gowns r settled.. Isnt tt good?

I cant wait to c mine ah..

Hi Kk,
U must be breathing thru ur mouth rite? Not too loud ok?

Shanghai is a very modern place, i was very impressed wif it when i went there 2 yrs ago.. Still very impressed wif it during my last visit. Tink their buildings r nicer than spore's in fact.. The streers r very clean too.
Haven been to other parts of china, but heard fr other pple tt other parts definitely lose out to Shanghai.
Beijing is China's capital but Shanghai is their finance hub. The landscape changes very fast over there..

Hi Tomodachi,
I din go up to the mingzhu tower leh, must pay 50 RMB.. Not bec i dun wan to pay, but somehow always never go there lor, juz stood beside it n go WAHHH.. My colleague went up there, she said its 200 plus storey.. Super high..
My EG is slit in the middle ah.. A bit scared leh, wait i chor lor, then everyone can c my "national flag"..

Will try it during 1st fitting to c if i m comfy wif it, if not, ask her to lower the slit..

My 1st fitting is 30th May ah, Dang said a bit rushed, she will try to do it by then,if not, will slip to June..

Hi Yvonne, Ivory & Forest dear,
can c u gals again tmr..

Hehe..

Hmm, wonder where Feroy n Jennl r lately.. R u gals going tmr? Hope to meet u gals again..

Hi oinkeebabe n fanyong,
Welcome!

Okie.. GTG! Be back later

 

[fern]

[blueberry]

MeiMei,

Can take a peak at your picts?? Can PM me? Thanks.

Tomodachi,

You also better take care.. these virus just come and dun know how long they will stay..
I always get "heaty" when weather turns hot.. my body is aready very heaty...

Coco,

Actually dun have to learn one.. just be more sexy you never know, maybe your hubby also learning too... heehee...
Will let you know how's the design.. now must get one of his ring to know the size.

Chubbyrain,
Hopefully me dun have bad breath. Can't smell. or else my colleagues beside me all will faint. Me not breathing loudly from mouth.. or else might sound like a pig.. you know what I mean.
Shanghai seems a better place to work than Beijing. most of people I know when to Shanghai to work. It's like the east version of Paris. a romantic city.
Think if I got opp, will want to travel there.
Me dreaming again.. blame the medicine.

Forest,
These few days were hot.I could not sleep well too.. So got to on the air-con. Now with the flu, dun know how.. cold and hot.. hopefully the weather will turn cooler soon. Could you be running here and there under the sun and got "heaty"? Must drink a lot of cooling tea.
Me having been drinking the chryst. tea. find it good in bowel system leh..

Ivory,
I mean.. the style/cutting for the upper body dun really suits me.. me taking bustier type. which some design could have fit me better.. to make me look "slimmer"
very hard to write to describle.
Can stop scratching your head??
