i guess all guys want their gals to look like angels on the big day/s so if within their own limits im sure they wont hestitate to get it one.

anna> yupe becoz got bears and got heart shape pillow thats why my wife like it. even when go looking(for fun) at children she also choose bear bear one. but becoz we wanna add words have to customise since the L1 cannot be altered one.

 

[not_firmed]

weixiong.. u order more ha?? i thought normally ppl order lesser, coz not all ppl eat so much and some may not attending.. heard that the caterer normally they will add abt 10% more on confirmed no of ppl.. how many course for $15/pax ha??

So many things to do now, making schedule for facial, slim wrap, hairsvcs.

This sat need to go with my fh's god-granny to buy jewellery, she insist on buying something for me altho we said dun need. Fmil said the god-granny insist n if i dun choose she buy something i dun like how...Stress...need to ask fmil hint for budget.

Anna, be careful on the 4" heels! sounds really scary.. as u know bears dun like high heels thus i only wear 1.5" max. Right now i m just wearing plain o' comfy mary janes... heehee.. But must practise on my own 2.5" shoes for my ROM... so high.. i think i will sink in the mud..

[supagal]

hi ladies,

anna> the novo shoes looks very glam and the seven shoes is very lovely!

I damn stress now. Still have not get my shoes and accessories yet.

Been so busy lately at work that i got no time to shop for anything. Sigh need to go down Empire soon to confirm the color of my dress as their silk just came in.

I am going down to the HDB 1st appt tomorrow too. And i worried that we got to reschedule the 1st appt again coz my FH made a blunder and our CPF money is still stuck in the investments!! Ladies please dont make such a big boo boo like me. i am praying that the HDB officer will give us some grace period b4 deducting the money. if not i cant even imagine wat is going to happen.

Sigh, am suppose to collect my flat keys in Oct and i still have not prepare anything yet.

I still have not select a lunch venue for my ROM lunch yet!!

Sigh, sorry for being such a whiner today but only u gals can understand wat i am gg thru.

I will be collecting my ring pillow tommorw so hopefully it will turn out nice...

 

[teacup]

supalgal: hugs. calm down. why don you call the officer in charge of your case. he/she should be able to advise. you can get the office name and contact number here.

just log on with your singpass. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/bb24/bb24003p.nsf/WelcomeStatus?OpenForm

I just called the officer for my case as well, regarding the deferment letter and transfer of name out of the current flat for my bf.

 

[man_tou_bear]

Poor thing Supagal.. do them bit by bit and I am sure by ur ROM date everything will be ok... take every wkend to shop for shoes and accessories lor...

Abt the flat, i tot deductions will only happened on the 2nd apptm when the flat becomes officially urs? cos btw 1st and 2nd apptms the flat is still not urs and therefore u dun have to pay a single cent.. well that was my impression...

Ya we understand what u are gg through.. I think all of us will feel overwhelm one time or another. So cheer up! everything is gonna be ok.

 

[not_firmed]

Tea >>> take this time to settle yr ROm things first lor.. then by that time, u won so kan chiong liao..

Sue >>> no need to worry liao lor.. haha.. i think facial n slim wrap can done earlier else hair do later lor.. plan slowly..

Bear >>> i also haven think of excuse of that day.. haha.. but most probably take off ba or maybe mc.. hehee...

Supagal >>> make use of weekends lor.. this is the only time u can shop all day till u found one.. I haven got my ring pillow's material yet.. trial make-up also soon..

 

[teacup]

bear: if i remember correctly (hopefully not confused... too much info) all the payment will be settled on the first app. 2nd app is only for key collection. You only pay the cash top up to the owner on the second appointment.

 

[annabelle]

bear, i also think 4" abit too much but hai no choice liao jus gonna be careful...

supagal, thanks for ur compliments... slowly plan dun rush... everything will be ok jus relax.

 

[anise]

anna,

supagal,
dun stress urself up.. take things one at a time. "boat reachin the bridge head will automatically go strai"<-- in chinese =) u can wan...

i finally make a reservation for my reception. at last.. decide to go teahouse.. Still deciding whther to book their private room which got additional $5 charges for drink which will make to about $21+++ per person... I m wondering if book their private room still got to walk out and take food?? Anyone got any idea??

 

[annabelle]

anise, thanks... teahouse althou book private room but still have to take the food urself leh... some quite troublesome lor...

 

[suetan]

I m making plans for all the beauty regime. Need to put on schedule. Will be going to do my hair on 27t or 28th aug.

Bear> I need a silver pair dats y so happy when i found so many in OG? U mean go down on 16th sept? 19th sept is the day after ur rom rite?

Gals n guys, the survey rite, I cant resend again cos its logged in the system ald under my referral, it will auto-send after 2 weeks if u all din sign up. So wait okie, hee!

Anrise> cos my fh's god-granny got no grandchildren n look upon my fmil's kids as her own grandkids. She only got 1 daugther left, the son-in-law passed away 3 yrs ago. She scared by our AD she nt ard so she give me something 1st.

 

[minne]

hi everyone, me got something to check with you all... on the actual day of your rom, is your fh coming to your hse to fetch you and proceed to the rom /solemnisation place???

I had a fight with my fh this afternoon, cos he say on tt day he will fetch his parents and relatives (as non of them drive) to the rom and he will meet me there... as my brother and my bro-in-law drive, so we have sufficient car to fetch my relatives to the rom premises... me so angry with him, how can he ask his future wife to go there without him and to meet him there! very funny right!!!

I was so mad with him, I told him to go marry his mother!!! ALL my frds had their husband to go to their hse to fetch them, but how can he only think of his side and didnt care about me!!!

I ask him to cater bus for his family,but he seems reluctant... now i dun know how liao!!! i think non of you here would encounter this kind of problem like me rite??? sorry if me too lorsoh, really need some advice...

 

[weixiongy]

minne> don get mad over this. prob he was questioned by his side about it and he also under pressured?? i have this discussion with my wife too since our location not really that accessible and in the end we agree to ask the guests to go there on their own. so why not juz sit down and address your concern to you fh in a calm manner rather then fighting over it.

cherz, coco, anna> L1 cannot be customise tats why i need to do another one similar but using another pillow maybe bigger thats why they ask me to wait.
the girl who replied me was sharon, very helpful.

DH>think i will take time off to go downto collect so unable to go for the gathering if you are planning one.

supa> don be stress ok. things will eventually work out one. manage your time well. im sure you can do it.

 

[suetan]

minne> Dun feel sad la cos alot of ppl oso meet their FH there at rom. For me my FH will pick me up fr the BS cos no pt make him send me there n wait for me. He will pick his god-granny up with her daugther and "park" them at resturant or to his hse, maybe another uncle will pick them n my fmil up. I almost quarrel with him also cos he ask my dad or my godpa to pick me up fr BS. Initially I was ok but after dat I felt weird cos I dowan to walk out of the BS alone n wait for him at clark quay all dressed up.Me n my FH will be taking fotos along clark quay b4 the solemnisation. No pt asking the guests to go there early n wait for us oso. Dun be upset okie!

 

[cherz]

freya,

[supagal]

Tks all...

tea> too late now, my 1st appt is at 10am tmr so will check with the officer. Hope that she is nice enough to give me some grace period. My fh got a big scolding from me bcoz of this!

bear> we thought the same as u. assuming that we only need to pay at the 2nd appt. Anyway i informed my fh to transfer our CPF money jus in case but he forgot.

minne> i will be meeting my fh at location leh. it didnt cross my mind that he has to fetch me haha.
