[zenth]

Hi all, been missing for a while as i was tied up with work. Hope that all is well. Time really flies. In approx 2 months time, most of us would be rom-ed.

Yep, State Tower is in Bangkok. I find it really romantic sia. Hope to visit Bangkok soon.

Sue> Hope that your grandma is much better now. Glad to hear that your leg is betta already. Take care!

Cherz> Congrats on getting your bands. Got a call from Fiary Inc yesterday to go for the ring fittings... very exicited sia... hehe

Welcome thinkle! So where will you be having your ROM?

coco> Not sure if invites can only be sent after guo da li. Would be better to speak to your parents / in-laws and seek your advice? Different dialects may have different requirements re this.

bear> Welcome back. Will be seeining BH on the 29th July... so excited. Did you recee the zoo to identify the places to have good shots? Me and my fw went over the weekend and sadly we couldn't find any =( Looks like we'll have to restrict ourselves to just the Garden as well as Forest Lodge.

Have we decided where to go?

[annabelle]

[joyousonline]

hi coco,

hi DH,
welcome back!

 

[coco_angel]

DH> thanks thanks... my FH has checked wif his mum, she said its ok to send before guo da li..phew.. then i dun have to worry liao!

anise> oh.. long story.. i signed up the pkg with WL 2yrs ago, paid a deposit. so when i went to try the gowns this may, i realised there's no designs i like, probably my pkg is cheaper so the more ex gown were kept for those paying more?? hehe.. anyway, maybe its my taste too, i prefer more lace which they dun have.. so i'm getting my gown done by a fren, not frm other BS. haven't tried my gown yet so i dunno if it will turn out well.. 1st fitting should b within the next 3 weeks.
yes yes its very tiring to do so many things at one time but its worth it

share wif u all abt something i heard from a fren... a fren's fren's mum went to attend a wedding (dunno when but should be quite recent) and during the 1st march in, the bride's tube gown dropped off after being stepped on it accidentally!!

imagine how embarrassing the situation is!! and there's nothing underneath the gown

poor bride...heard the bride ran off to the hotel room and nvr came down for the rest of the night. so sad for her... found out tat she made her gown somewhere & whoever it is(tailor/designer) did not do a proper job on the support. hmpf! maybe they will sue the BS for doing a lousy job, tis should not happen even if u step on a tube gown lor...

 

[anise]

anna,
yum cha food not bad.. veri special for some dim sum and nice nice.. In fact initially i intend to go teahouse but after wat u say must tink again.. hehe... shall go down one of these day to haf a look 1st...

coco,
oic... no wonder u wan it separately.. Hopefully when it's my turn, there is one dat i like..

I cant imagine if I m dat bride.. Suppose to be a veri happie ending turn out to be soooo embarassing.. gosh!!! So everyone out here... rem if u wear tube top must really make sure it secure ya.. haha

 

[royndor]

coco,

[annabelle]

[coco_angel]

cherz> thanks thanks... i will discuss with my FH again, since my FMIL has no issues abt sending before guo da li then at least we are not tat restricted, otherwise i can only send out few days b4 my AD.

[coco_angel]

sue & anna> abt losing weight.. i dunno if it works but i was chatting with my colleague today & she said tat when preparing for her wedding, she drank grapefruit+water to lose weight. she said lose quite alot of weight... i dunno the exact concoction though. but watever it is, start easy & take everything moderately.. i feel exercise is still the best option

take care of your health!

 

[annabelle]
