Yo maiden,
Hmm........ still trying to brain wash my FH on that, hope I will succeed
I noe. Hahaha wait I fork out even more $$$.
Did ask for free rolls of films from them. They are quite nice and easy to talk to, shouldnt have any problems, ehh.....*crossing my fingers*
There no Celeb endorsing it at the moment. But tink is the most exp compared to those available on the shelves.

Hi zoeanne,
Thanks for your encouragement!
Hi tambourina,
All pills have side-effects. Different body, different reactions. I took pambesy b4 and lost 16kgs in 9 months...and now taking Duromine as Pambesy no effect on me already. Relax, take things slowly..and one at a time. Get some close friends to help you lor.
Guess we have the same mentality...i also hope my ang baos can cover my banquet...did also standby a few ks in case it dun.
Hi berry,
Me taking duromine now. Prescribe by doctor. 3-5kgs with Pambesy can do..but not all suitable for it...I can lose those kgs within 2 months frame....Duromine not so sure...but got a friend lost 7kgs within the first month.

Hi Berry
I suggest u decide your banquet (venue) 1st if you have decide your date. Cos, no BS will reject business if you wan to sign up with them, but hotels or restaurants would reject you if their places are take up by other brides.
To me, the most impt is settle your venue 1st.. BS things, some ppl get shotgun, within 2 months also can rush the photos, so dun worry
hee hee...
Your MIL is right... $15K is reasonable...
Imagine your BS, which might take up to 3K or even more already, thoe simple simple things like GDL, angbaos on the AD given out , videographer, photographer...etcetc...
For me, i did not include my dinner cost in, cos same here, i m also thinking of using ang bao $ to offset the bills, of course with a small sum of $$ in case we loss ....I also hope just for a breakeven.. i happy liao...
I can understand... my vitamin M all go into my house too. it is also on renovation soon... restart the work after CNY... meaning very soon, i will be busy again with house reno things..
Berry, take steps by steps.... no need to rush like mad la... stress dun do us good and no more mei mei BTB.. kekeke.

Oh goodie. I cannot look stingy and give you less than a glass! hehe. We'll have giggly taitais by the end of these all.
I just came back from to the Pond for the Black & White highlights album (top 25 piccies) and will have to wait another month for this. Something to look forward to next month

Hi Wendy,
actually I have to go for some exercising before my PS, tried on gowns when selecting my BS and at every place, I had to comment to the person that it seems that most brides are real skinny cos they had difficulties zipping up at back.
Hi helen,
Sentosa seems like a nice place to take pic, a variety of place to take pic of different background. Wonder how long will the photographer follow us around all day, until night?
Hi Angela,
u thinking of taking some prep course too? same here. my FH says to take the course after ROM.
Cheery, how do you get the form for the marriage prep course?

Hi Joleen,
I am not quite sure what time the photographer will follow us until. Should be about evening time. But from the looks of it, if the studio shots & outdoor are on the same day & if going Sentosa, then maybe too many places to go at Sentosa & wouldn't have enough time to go elsewhere.

Hi berry
My friend also stay at Fernvale...I just went to her house..Quite nice environment...
If not wrong, Cu and Josie also stay around there?
Ya lor, i am doing my house 1st, not enough $ to buy so many furniture.. the basic one 1st, got $ then buy...
I bought a 4Room flat at Pasir Ris during WIS.
HI janice
I am not sure how much backup. I think 10K enough la. I thought of backup $5K...
The house renovation, at least $20k and above lor..However, if you buy flats which are already move-in conditions, then no need so much. My friend got a flat with $7K renovation only..
Normally premium or D&B, no need so much renovation la... Simple simple one can do...

hi ladies, i have finally settled my AD PG, I have chosen John from Chris Ling. hip hip hurray. one thing down!!
er actually very werird, when we were there, both eugene and john were there. and they showed us their work together. I think it is very cruel to choose like that . sigh... but we chose john, though to us, layman, we feel that there is no difference with their works, my hubby going for the more chatty one.
anyone of you considering to "blow up " your AD photo as a portrait?? not sure if it is possible.
when my yim chim hubby went into the shop he was very firm he wants to sign it liao. he says he likes the shop and it is how a studio shoudl look like. i dont know if he is bluffing me cos he does not want to search further ehheehhe.

Hi Icy, oh which WG is yours?!! Must go back and see 
Hi Sharlene, me still searching for my tiara
Might be going down with blue genie to a shop she recommended. The rental for the accessories is about $50 and she will make new ones for you to rent as well. Have you confirmed with Chryster already? Else you can come with us
The cravats i saw so far is about $70-80 also. So I supposed the price should be ok
You mean bow-tie right? This shouldn't be a problem as alot of places have it
You can try Taka, or Suntec.
