Hi meh
Nice to walk down the aisle. I envy and always wanted but too bad, both side parents are both not christian/ catholic.. So are we...I sure get a long train for WG if i got a church wedding. Like the show, The Sound of Music when Maria walk down the aisle. I remember that forever and feel so grand and romantic.

I got the car deco material from Exim. U hit the spot. I went all shops coming prices, it about the same. Just nice Exim now have 50% sales. their flowers are nicer, and the lady more patient to mix and match for me to let me see different effects, i get it from her. The other shops, i walked in, seem bo chap about me leh.

Hi Seval
Nice to go Mauritius for HM. So envy. I have not even plan for HM.. show me pics when u are back.. I will go oneday..yeah

Hi jelly
I have been rushing to finish asap as i m going away for 1 week ma. come back left 2 weeks. alot of things to do lor.. My car deco from BS sucks. Look like from those 80s.. my auntie times... Therefore, i exchange other items from my BS and got it DIY. The lady nice enough to do all for me. Save my time lor. I did not put bears. Initially i wanted. But after the design of the car deco yesterday, feel it is not suitable..I do not have a bourquet in front of the car.. all the flowers in a bunch just lie on the car front.. simple...show u photo when got time

Hi mik
I heard supposingly not to meet each other b4 AD. But for me, i think i will hack care, cos for car deco, hubby need my help to tie. Yesterday the florist just taught me how to. Without me guiding him, guess he also blur.. and may not up to what i wan for my car deco .. kekeke

Hi Sierra

[boygirl]

hi pierced,

so onli sit up can be the way for reduce of fats loh..

but if dun included jogging can??

 

[mik]

hi josl,
gathering i still KIV, can?
got loads of stuff to catch up on. *paiseh*

 

[dolphin48]

hi jam75, i ever tried CTC for trips to China. I find them quite okay leh..... no bad experience with them.

i think for reduction of fats, any form of exercises will help... as someone in other thread mentioned, go for duration and not speed to lose weights. best is to exercise for at least 30 mins cos fat burning only kicks in after 20 mins of exercises - quote from magazine.... hehe.... but must remember to do stretching exercises to warm up and cool down....

 

[ting0502]

pierced- duno got anot la.. i anyhow say one. hehe. may jus go for cruise for 1 or 2 stops tat kind. so u leavin on the day after ur AD? yea i agree w jam, nth much to do in cruise actually.. 3D2N is more thn enough liao. but of cos depends on the company also..

yalor, jam. we got to lose wt la, this la that la thn guys no nid de. they fat fat also nvm. sigh..

winnie- the best way is stil to jog lo!! cant jus depend on sit ups alone.

 

[virgo_jenn]

yukiee,

i am not too sure about videography itself because my pkg with him is AD photography + videography at $1,800.

u can email to him for a quotation he does provide other svc.

 

[yming]

[boygirl]

[vela]

hard to say, 2 of my frens didn't want kids so soon after AD, took precaution also kanna, so not 100% lei..kekekekekeke

sharlene, heard many ppl say some hb will change after AD, I am grateful he is still good after AD and did even more

I am very appreciative of him

[josl]

Hi all...
Gathering cancelled...hope to meet again after the AD in Oct hopefully.

Hi mikmik,
rem to bring the banyan tree discount card when i meet u on our date next mth..

 

[ggjj]

hi kastine,
my relative used andrew (not sure which andrew) with fabian.. which according to him, is very well done.. think abt $3k for both.. think u can check with fabian for other rec.. but u must be prepare to pay for coffee table album.. most photographer require top up..

hi ming,
i think twp is not bad.. i met up with the female photographer.. but compare twp with bug media, i prefer bug media.. cheaper too..

hi winnie,
i have order my bed since CNY.. u care to share ur budget?

hi gals,
got something to ask around.. do u prefer digital PS albums or traditional PS album..

 

[jendome]

Hi Winne,

I had bought my queen size bed from Novena Furnishing, there have a promnotion with Four Sea, I bought the first grade (cure backache) for around $1.5K for 10 years guarantee

 

[boygirl]

hi jennifer,

is dat come along with e bed frame???
wen did u went to bought it???

cos have been searching ard.. but still can't
find any of it...

 

[jendome]

Hi ggjj,

I had my album mixed with both digital and traditional, difficult contrast.
For Outdoor was digital
For indoor was traditional

 

[jendome]

Hi winne

No, i did not get the bed frame, cos i have custom made seperately.
I bought it last year when i ROM, but i think the promotion is still going on. I have been going back to Novena to change some of my stuff. hee

But to be frank, depends on your budget and the brand which you preferred

 

[yming]

hi ggjj
care to share your packege with me? what's the name bug media?

hi winnie
paid a deposit for the bed @ IMM (look around) n dpd on your budget n brank u preferred

 

[sierra]

Anne: Try to do up a checklist early for the list of items that u need to bring...then pack according to that list....should be fine...

mikmik: ohh...i guess u have to spare some time to go shopping then....

 

[ggjj]

hi winnie,
buying bed really depends on ur budget.. i bought one approx $8k.. but a lot of my friends say i crazy.. if ur budget is around $2k to $5k, i recommend sealy... if below $2k.. king coil..

hi jennifer,
i have actually requested for all in digital.. but now thinking again.. may like to have one trad and one digitial.. but really not sure.. can u share ur photos..

hi ming,
i did not sign up with bugs media.. but i think they are very good value for money..

met up with Wedding parrapazi (Eva) think min $1075.. quite unique style (each video feels different) but not what i like..

Bugs Media (63231233) is min $999 think very value for money with reasonable quality

 

[highness]

There's a hired cab in got pple alighting so he anxiously ran there and everyone clap, but later its happened that the other passager still in the cab as they only drop frens there, then the poor boy came back looking very worried, then an on call cab came in and the 2 ladies board the cab, the boy tried to ran over to intercept intending to ask them to let him hv the cab but the 2 ladies n driver before he spoke, just quickly shut the door n drove off (probably they thot he trying to be funny) then the 3 noisy gals n guy behind me were scolding bad words and pointing middle finger at the cab lor...hehehe very drama.

[blue_genie]

hi everyone!

been long time since i m in this thread..how's the married life? hee hee

seems that i have missed out the fun there...hope to join in the gathering next time

keep in touch

 

[caitlyn]

wah, i not ard one afternoon and i miss out soo much!! hahha.. suddenly got two winnies also.. hee

abt doing sit ups, iheard it's efective but once u start u have to continue.. coz they say if u stop, the tummy will come back very very fast.. =)


Winnie - i felt the CTC one was a bit too packed.. so din really like the itinery.. i din check out chan bros as my fh away so we son't be able to catch the fair.. we decided on ananda coz the fare was reasonable and the itinery not too packed.. i also took the 12 day switzerland, paris one.. and the main reason i guess was also tt the ananda lady who served us really noes her stuff and she cld tell us all abt the places and even gave good advice like which states not to go during dec altho the pacakge prices for those states were actually even more exp.. so we were convinced by her.. keke

 

[qing22]

Hi ggjj

Thanks. Will check with Fabian if he had worked with someone called Andrew

 

[panggou]

Good morning ladies.

Caityln, i think the ananda price is quite alright, you took 12 days paris, switerland and london one right? but i worry cos there is 1 freee day in London and 1 free day in Paris, not sure if we can get around.... the other agency only have less free day , thus their package is more ex. so have a hard time deciding..... will you be taking SIA? I think the price for SIA is quite ok too....

 

[caitlyn]

winnie - no.. i took the 12 days switzerland, paris, amsterdam one.. my fh doesn't wanna go london.. =) for me, i wanted the 1 free day here and there to go exploring.. the ananda lady tt served us was actually a europe tour leader.. so she made recommendations.. need to do a bit of research b4 gg.. yup, taking SIA.. i tink they only had tt and thai airways..

 

[panggou]

caityln, did not know they have amsterdam one, but i think i prefer london... actually quite blur about the whole ting did not realy know where to go. i realised thai airway and SIA differs not much, so might as well we take SIA hehehe.

 

[caitlyn]

winnie - hehe.. some more thai airway must transit one i think.. =) i actually quite blur also.. all i noe is i want to go far away.. hahah.. and i def want to go switzerland.. in fact, i noe nuts abt countries and all, so it was really funny and embarrassing when i went to the travel agencies.. haha

 

[panggou]

caityln hahah same same leh, i have to ask this name is what country huh??? then i take down the notes heheheee.

oh did not know thai need to transit.... but did you ask her if winter, will most of the places be closed??? cos sometimes they close for renovation, i asked chan bros, they say the difference in going winter is that the itinery will start at 5am.

 

[caitlyn]

winnie - i asked her.. initially we were keen on italy but she was like "no, no.. dun go italy tour during winter.. coz very rushed as they'll start v early and each place can only stay for a short while".. she says switzerland is a winter place so no prob.. and for the package, more time is spent in switzerland.. as for paris and amsterdam, since the itinery is not a tight one, it should be quite alright.. =)

 

[panggou]

caityln, thanks for the note!! I will go libary this noon to borrow a map, else i will remain a ku ku hehehe

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Sharlene

oic... so sorrie that u have waited long for the next cab....

Hi D_Woof

sure... I hope there will be a next one perhaps, to show the HM pics or juz chit chat session? hopefully, we have better turn up though... hehhehe...

Hi Genie... looks like u missed our gathering agian... hahahhaa... how did yr wedding go anyway? any pics to share?

 

[ying11]

Hi gals,
How was the meet? So sorry that i did not come into this thread as I was still not feeling well and was on leave on Monday and so busy at work yesterday.

Tougei and hubby turn up together? Hehheheh..so, you gals get to see the "korean hunk". No worries lah, this thread will go on...Maybe, it will become mor lively when one of us gets pregnant..
But of course, it wont be me..

 

[apostles]

Hi Jiemei,

not that bad for so mnay photos in totality.

I have a friend who does it. If you are interested i can email you the contact.

 

[seval]

Milk Milk - My doorboy is my nephew and I paid for all my nephews' suits. So, in a way, I paid lah. I don't think you nd to pay for that, usually pay for page boys. Unless you want them to wear suit & they don't have it.

Pigger is right. Those people that we have paid for their services no need to give so much hor? I will deduct from there and give my xiong dis and jie meis more. hehe... I feel like giving the xiong dis more as they really help a lot. My jie meis not doing much except the groom tekan.

 

[blue_genie]

morning!

yuki: used to it liao..nvm lah =P

wedding went well...no major hicups but lose some baskets which i used for the rose petals for march in..guess is the kids who took them..feeling apologetic to my gal friend who lent me the baskets
