[not_firmed]

Anna >> i think it's joy wearing CS.. I seldom take pics, so when fitting didnt take.. another thing is i don hv dc only video cam, and too big that i don know how to operate.. haha.. so "sua ku" rite.. when free, i take by my Hp then let u girls c c k.. but don think clear leh.. don mind rite??

[maruko]

tweety: wow...tink quite alot of ppl gettin same date as its considered auspicious...u havin it at ROM also?

 

[not_firmed]

Jannie >> u mean flbby arms ha?? i also got leh.. i think the best way is jogging ba.. i try to lose weight to.. hahaha... or u can try other gown if it fits better on u..

[annabelle]

jannie, oh u going rom on sunday under love tat binds no wonder i thought how come rom open on sundays also... i also dunno how to get rid of the meat there leh... also have abit... maybe can find other types of gowns other than bustier?

 

[maruko]

Tweety, me solemnizing at Love That Binds. It's just next to ROM actually. I tried to lose weight thru jogging since last mth but I juz had a minor toe op for ingrown nail last wk, so dun tink I can jog to remove that "meat". Its not flbby arms actualli...but u noe when wearin tubes it has to be quite tight den the "meat" is juz above the tube lor...somewhere near the armpit area...

annabelle, when is ur ROM date n where is it held? me now tryin to source for other types of gowns lor...mayb will check out daniel yam later after work...i onli noe there is one at taka...do u noe if they got other outlets?

 

[maruko]

tweety, i onli noe that our date is mid autumn...didnt realise that its chinese valentine's day also...tot its quite near to chinese new yr?

 

[not_firmed]

Anna... i think by this week ba.. wait awhile k..
sure will show u...

Jannie.. oic.. i got what u mean liao.. me also got.. i think depends on gown ba.. some gown not so tight at that area, so won hv this pro..
u may go suntec, there is another daniel yam there..

 

[not_firmed]

Jannie >> 15th aug is a chinese valentine's day..
i heard from ppl one also.. haha

 

[maruko]

tweety... thanks for the info...suntec seems a better place den taka...

me tinkin of havin the hi tea buffet at Top of the 'M' at Mandarin hotel after the ROM. any1 eat there b4? any comments?

 

[not_firmed]

Jannie.. no pros..
U may like to go "YEN" at metro too.. the gown also not bad.. cecilia loe and allure also hv nice gown.. hope u can find one..
nv been there, not sure leh..

 

[kyra]

For those doing ROM outside, we can correspond with JP abt the consent form via fax right? Saw at the end of the page - do not fax.....

I dont think I am the earliest lah....am I?
Lunar 15 August = Ba Yue Shi Wu, not exactly the Chinese Valentine's, it's Mid Autumn Festival, Chinese believe it is a good date signifying reunion and such....

 

[maruko]

tweety...thanks for the prompt response...

been to YEN at metro...quite like a few of their designs...but when wear on me not so nice...haha...is cecilia loe and allure in metro also? didnt really see those...

so whose the 1st bride here?

 

[maruko]

kyra...me not sure abt the consent form leh coz mine is handled by Love That Binds.

when is the actual Chinese Valentine's day then?

 

[not_firmed]

Kyra.. ya, u may ask yr jp to fax the signed consent form to u.. i think Minne earliest.. 5th sept..
hehe.. i also don know leh.. alot of ppl told me that.. i think coz of the "ming Yue" thingy ba..

Jannie.. i not sure where to get leh.. only heard abt that brand,didn go there..

 

[man_tou_bear]

Hello gals!

The form can be faxed Kyra.. I faxed mine... heehee... dun ask why the stupid liner at the bottom....

Official Chinese Valentine Day is Zhen Yue Shi Wu, ie the 15th day of the 1st Lunar Mth. Otherwise known as Yuan Xiao. That's my Chinese bday! so i will always rem it. ahahah.. thickskin me...

 

[kyra]

I think this ROM website has alot of wrong info. The applet is really showing that the office arrangement is taking effect in Nov and now this wrong liner at the consent form.

What about 7th July? Qi Qiao Jie? I think it's the day Niu Lang met Zhi Nu (Shepherd and the weaver girl)

 

[supagal]

confused... wat's the talk with the chinese valentine day

jannie> how much is your budget for dress? i got my rom package from empire. i too have the extra meat around the arm area but the cut of the bustier dress at empire is good and it wont squeeze the meat out.

kyra> i think u are allow to change your rom details. Saw the function in the website leh...

Btw, anyone going for the bridal show this Sunday at Grand Copthorn hotel? I just registered

 

[kyra]

I love the dresses at Empire. Been there with a girlfriend once....I have a MTM dress, similar to the cutting I tried at Empire but hor...not as flattering leh...dunno why....showed alot of meat =(

 

[annabelle]

Jannie, maybe u can try tangs they also carry daniel yam's gowns...

tweety, ok will wait for ur pictures ya...

 

[minne]

Hi, Jannie welcome to the thread! I got my rom gown from Auther Yen, i know what you meant by the "fats" under the armpit... my gown also like that, i tried a few for my FH to c but he chose that gown (with armpit fats)... dun know y, but he said that the design and colour is nice so i bought that lor... I try not to lower the gown when i wear so that it will not squeeze the meat to the armpit lor... hehehe

Daniel Yam also have an outlet in wisma 2nd flr maybe u can try there too! As for the reception, my rom time is in the late afternoon so i planning to go Hotel Rendervous for the buffet dinner lor, but will go tomorrow to talk about te details with the manager... yours in the afternoon lunch it will be cheaper than dinner lor... my stupid FH has to be blame for this!! hehehe...

[man_tou_bear]

Gd morning!

Jannie, i think in this case almost all bustier gowns are out for u if u are worried abt armpit fats. cos u wear those sure have those fats coming out a bit unless u are a skeleton!! heehee.... How abt those with thin straps at the shoulders? it won't be as tight as a bustier gown. have u try those?

Anise ah, not i plan one... my zoo coordinator planned for me.. hahaha....

Supagal, no probs will let u know abt it... u can ask DH too.. both our ROMs are at the zoo... heeheee...

 

[annabelle]

anise, when's ur next fitting with WL huh? i'm going down this sunday for final fitting before rom leh... dun think WL have casual outfits leh all also quite sophiscated wan... where will u be going for ur reception huh?

will update u all if rom has any new changes lor...

jannie, slowly find u still got abt 3+ weeks... look around... did u go tangs for a look?

 

[maruko]

hi bear, yes i tried those wif thin straps at the shoulders too...it looks better than tube designs as the fats r less obvious...actually me not so into the fats lah...since can use scarf to cover up...juz cant decide on the gowns now...coz those dat i tried not in white...but somehow i prefer white gowns...haha...strange rite? me wan white n yet tried those dat r not white...haha...

 

[joyousonline]

wow so many posts ar..hehe...

oh jannie, there is a shop called lavender along the capitol building also hv nice dresses ar..but more ex..think range from $138 onwards...

waaa anna, what did u complain to ROM?? i also wanna complain..hahaha

oh cherz, i dunno about the promo on HK otherwise would hv queued up..hahaha

 

[maruko]

annabelle...i haven go tangs to check it out...mayb this wkend lor...

hi joyous, my budget within $150...so mayb if got time me will pop by the lavender to check it out...now so tight up wif my work n my stupid toe...hope it heals in time...
