Gd morning!

Hrmm where to start? Cherz, heehee, my FH used to be a PFC too. and he has a couple of frens doing the same line of job... I signed up with Bridalzone rem? Ya trying to rest as much as i can but still had a busy wkend viewing places. Haizzz might take a day off soon.. need to catch up on zzzzz..

Suelynn, BZ has been there for quite awhile liao. the MS one is so much newer and nicer. I heard that the OTR gowns are quite limited, but i chose the MTM package so no probs lor. They are quite affordable too!

Joy wanna see ur CS! how much did u pay for it? Supagal too! any photos from ur ROM fitting?

Had the meet the parents session on Sat. was rather awkward... had some pregnant pauses... but then i guess it happens... didn't felt comfortable myself and was looking everywhere except my parents and FPILs' faces... Hope this never has to be repeated.. so tough...

Also went house hunting. saw two really big flats but both are asking abv our budget.. so dun think we can afford. the 2nd flat was reno very nicely.. move in conditions some more.. but they are asking for 410K! nvm see this wkend got any gd deals or not..
 
Morning gals...

Tinkle, I'm also v short.. so I'll choose those suitable for me one.. we can cut the it short to make a smaller bouquet.. hmmm, anyway i'll still seek the florist advice first lor.. hehe..

Supagal, hmmm I'm not sure where to go for gd lunch leh.. My parents like "bak Kut teh" at Balestier rd there, But then i don think suitable for u on yr ROm lor.. BaliThai leh?? they sell Indo n thai fd... But I myself prefer western n tim sum.. hehehe...

Ikea having sale ya?? sale on what things ha?? how many percent?? till when ha??

Anise, u extract teeth ya.. then u better drink more cooling tea now..

Queenie, 7 aug ha?? I don think i can meet u all leh.. I need to clear my fh's room n house, need to move all my stuff there n my ROM at his house, so need to clear for space.. haha..
 
Morning gals,

cannot confirm wether on the 7th will be free not leh cause work very busy might be coming in on saturday too... will have to try my luck...
happy.gif
will confirm with u gals nearer to e date...

went to search for my bridal shoes yesterday leh went paradox very nice but ex. leh... think for tat price can MTM one liaoz... how abt u gals got ur shoes already??? from where huh???

wanna ask something huh... for rom reception both sides parents need to sit at same table rite... wat will they discuss huh??? abt AD??? scared very awkward leh... bearbear luckily ur parents and fpil met already...
happy.gif
i abit scared leh cause my mum invited my maternal grandparents leh... and they wont be sitting with us will be sitting with my aunties and my grandma very kepo tat type leh like to badmouth ppl tat type so i scared later talk to my fpil request difficult things leh... and my fsil will be there with her hubby also leh...
sad.gif
 
good morning gals and guys, been a long time since i come here le

welcome to all the newbies hehehe.
only manage to scan through the posts and suddenly notice that we have a new thread every 3days or so. so fast!!!!!

seems like most of you are flat hunting already. bet you all know about the 10% thingy liao rite. my MIL told us to think about getting a resale 3rm first then when the time comes we cna sell it off. sort of like and investment but tok it over with my wife and decided we cannot afford to do that.

bear> how are you? seems like a few posts back you seem to be abit paranoid about getting married?? meet the parents session sure will be weird one. two stranger meeting two stranger mah. i have not arrange for mine but i think will be awkward as well so take it easy gal.
juz know that my cousin have applied for a flat from the new punggol project. wow things sure is moving fast.

queenie> like your suggestion but seldom have high tea.... so cannot contribute much.... but i saw this new( i think) cafe at the hotel before the ntuc building. seems like a nice place to chill out.
 
Hi Anna, I got mine from Isetan, Anne Valentino.. those cover shoes, white with some tinkling diamond.. hehe.. the price is 99 if not wrong.. haha.. As for parent meeting session, i not v sure leh.. actually not necessary talking abt AD la.. anything will do.. AD i think better talk privately when those aunties not ard lor.. when they bargain things also not so paiseh mah..
 
Hi!

Weixiong! of cos i m panaroid.. if u have been having as many arguements as I have been having with my FH u might also think twice... anyway, we have been rebuked by both sets of parents and decided not to be so childish anymore...but still being so hot tempered, its gonna be tough.

Me also looking for shoes Anna! OG has some nice ones too.. cheap.. dun wanna spend to much on the shoes cos i will not have the chance to wear them... hate heels...

May be u wanna arrange for a meeting btw ur FPILs and ur parents? at least they met once and will talk easier during the ROM.
 
Hi ladies,

I am ROMing at ROM registry "Love that binds" at 30Sep. However, i am having problem deciding what for lunch. I have only ard 15 to 18ppl attending, which includes his parents and my mum. The rest are his frds and my frds. However, all these ppl dun know each other... (as in the frds in my group also dun know each other oso.)

Wat kind of lunch do u think is suitable? Any place to suggest?

So headache.....
sad.gif
 
bear> yupe yupe i think i understand abit esp the arguments part even though those are bound to come but when it happen too often you will start to think about something else and sometimes might think off course too. that happens to me also and many a times i have been told off by my wife not to think too much coz she knows that i will dwell too deep and go off course. stay as cool as possible gal, thing will work its way out one^^ stay happy!!!!

my wife's shoes are mtm from leaping lizard. told her not to worry about the price hehehe coz it is quite ex as they are using swaroski crystals for the decoration.
 
Hi Jasmine, Welcome. I forgot to welcome AXL too!

Weixiong, i tot only us gals think too much.hahaha.. now i know guys also will do the same. ur FW seems very mature! not like me, the childish bear. :P

Wah Leaping Lizard ah! u very willing to spend on ur wife hor??? so gd... heehee... gals, we must tell our FHs to be like Weixiong a bit!
 
Tweety, sent Isetan also leh but couldnt find something nice... cause they dun have those for dinner shoes... saw some at tangs but dun have my size...

bearbear, hmmm OG haven go there yet but dun think i like those there leh... for white or ivory satin shoes, dun like those with black soles leh look so awful leh... looking for those with beige soles...
for meet the parents session hoh think will be even more awkward to them leh if meet earlier 1st cause also dunno wat they gonna talk abt. if meet on rom day than will have more ppl so think wont be so awkward???

yeah jus reserved a private room at yum cha for my rom high tea... took their set menu cause they dun have buffet... at least one load off my mind... think this saturday have to go leaping lizard and another customisation shop to look look in case have to custom made my shoes...

wxyang, whoa u are a generous guy leh... dun need to worry abt price...
happy.gif
yesterday when i went paradox my fh keep jumping liao cause their shoes all around $250-400 heehee but very nice...
 
bear> hehehe better put it in another way, you know guys.... simply hate to be compared one hehehehe anyway its better lah rather then walk here and walk there to search.

anna> paradox shoe price really can compare to mtm. i think mtm even cheaper.... i have not been to paradox.... where is it??? wanna go look look hehehe is it the shop at raffles city??? go scout around and steal design then when you go mtm your shoe can combine design and *poof* youe very own shoe hehehe

Hi welcome all newbies!!

weixiong, wow you so good to your wife lay... so envy!! my fh dun bother so much one!! he also still dun wana decide on his clothes and dinner for tt day, now only left with abt 6 wks but everythings still dangling there.... hai.....

cherz: you very super lay, I think the response for this wis very good lay... but now only mostly west area, me looking for north area lay... if got lobang can inform me??? me really waiting for very long liao, the last time they had wis for north area was i think last year or early this year... maybe hdb no more north area units left... hehehe
 
minne,

dun worry.my fh aso havent decide on his outfit for the rom.still tink got a lot of time to the rom.mayb guys r like dat.

hmm but only abt mayb 15ppl queueing overnight.i tot there wld b more.

u considering resale?
 
cherz, ya lor... if still no news from hdb on north area then i will look for resale lor! afraid tt resale more xx or gotto forkout alot of cash lay...
 
hey gals> im sure it is in every guys' nature to spend on their love ones but the problem is whether are they able to at that point of time. so do not compare coz they love you, the same as i love my wif. and im sure you all know that guys always like to grab buddha's leg at the last minute one mah. hehehe

by the way, i will be wearing a mandarin collar coat for rom so do i need to wear anything underneath?? not very sure coz never wear before.

cherz> i really salute you. you are one lucky gal!!!!
 
cherz> lucky u, kekekke! congrats! Keep us updated with the flat selection.

bear> din realise BZ at tpy for sometime cos I hardly walk pass dat side except to buy goreng pisang. kekkeke! $410k for a hdb flat ah? I tink its far too high ald, now the prices for housing drop tremendously. So dun be in a hurry to buy resale. Now ppl pay abt $5k above valuation, most at valuation or even below.

Talking abt shoes...luckily my mum got a pair of silver shoes that I can use, cos I dowan to buy any new shoes. Ald chalk up the cupboard, my whole family are shoe fetishes hahah. We have a 4 door shoe cupboard at the corridor.

My FH havnt go n settle his attire yet...tell me still got time!!! Arggh! Anyway, he is so stressed by the moving oso.....Will settle in early aug, let him rest awhile 1st.

supagal,
i knw abt the ikea sale,i went fot the "friends" sale last fri at 9am.So ks hor?

tweety,
it's til mid Aug.Some stuff almost 50% off.Not everything on sale.Everyday like diff items on sale.Think towards the end prices will be slashed even more.

ah bear,
congrats on meet the parents session!I had mine in Feb,fpil came over to parents' &amp; my mum cooked dinner.

cherz,
my fbil also got repurchased unit but he lucky caz the owner didnt even start to do reno so it was like brand new.Hope u get the place of ur choice!

wxyang,
any suggestion is fine by me.Anywayz,for me i think i'll be the one with the cheapest shoes for my ROM.Almost bought a $15 muji white slippers but abit too plain lah.Hahaha!!!Wld wanna wear them agn &amp; agn mah.I think esp those wearing long gowns,shoes will be covered already.If wanna drama then during ur AD then go all out lah.To me buy s'thing so ex to put on the floor is quite a waste lor.But tt's my own personal opinion lah.

Buy shoes for ur partners,make sure he/she return/exchange a token like 20cents k or else he'she may leave you.Better be safe then sorry hor.Are y'all practising the "s'thing old,s'thing new,s'thing borrowed &amp; s'thing blue."?

4.tea (tentatively ok)

I went to shop for shops over the weekend. Taka, tangs and metro have nice shoes at reasonable prices. Not planning to spend so much on shoes cos i don usually get to dress up, so buying 'glam' shoes will be quite a waste. But if it is cheap, it is ok... don feel pinch even if i only wear it twice. :P

Queenie: what is "s'thing old,s'thing new,s'thing borrowed &amp; s'thing blue."?
 
tentatively no for me for the 7 aug meeting as we may be celebrating my bro's b'day. can only confirm again nearing the date.

for wedding shoes, maybe can check out waverlyfinn.com. my gf got her shoes from there previously.

i got my wedding bands... finally. i tried to take the pixs but unfortunately it didnt turn out well so i dun think its a good idea to post it :p
i am quite mad with soo kee. i collected my rings from a SK outlet which i requested and the sales person just pass me the rings in a ugly white envelope without the proper sookee boxes and sookee paper bag! it is so pathetic. when i requested for the boxes, the sales person told me to take their SK box instead! anyway i insisted for sookee boxes and they will deliver it to me. And i was very shocked to learn that they engraved the rings without confirming the size with me. I didnt have the opportunity to try the actual ring in the size i wanted as it wasnt avail at that time, so i just estimate the size....
luckily for me the rings fit, but what if they dont... anyway am quite appalled by their service std.

wx> so interesting to have a guy's perspective keke
 
my wedding bands has got a little sapphire embedded in the inner side of the ring, so i guess i got the "something blue" covered :p

cherz> quite an experience u had! i bought resale frm my bro as he is moving to a condo nearby... so shiok
but i get to use his condo facilities without hving to pay for maintainence kekek... cheapo :p
 

tea,
i think it's a western tradition for the bride to wear these 4 items.For eg,S'thing borrowed(rented WG),s'thing blue(garters),s'thing old(mother's ring etc),s'thing new(shoes).

supagal,
yeah tt's s'thing blue.
