(2005) Brides of year 2005

[sandychoo]

hi gals,

gd morning.. take urgent leave at home to look after my sick hubby.. he so poor thing.. having fever on and off.. the whole night cough until cannot sleep.. just brought him to see doctor and now he ZZzz... on the bed liao.. guess too stress and tired with all the guest list thing and the prep.. Saw previous postings that some of you also fall sick, must take care and get well soon, jia you!

Last Sat night just had my pre-dinner banquet at JB. Response very good, about 98% turn up rate with 1 reserved table opened. My parents just counted the ang pow $$ yesterday and called us that the ang pow $$ more than enough to cover the banquet, and got extra $$ left.. happy for them..

Like many 18th brides here, my prep also 77 88 liao.. left the guest list and table set up lor.. Having an chuang this wednesday..

Oh yeah, do you gals interested to be interviewed by press on our wedding dinner on mid autumn festival night? Yesterday Wan Bao reporter called me and checked if hubby still having the convoy of crossing tuas 2nd link to fetch me from JB on our AD morning. Dunno who sabo us go and inform the reporters. Have not discussed with hubby, not sure he wants to be interviewed or not.

Last time we bought out new house also got reporters interviewed. Our ROM day (during SARS period) also got reporters interviewed and published in Times.. This round I feel that it will be meaningful and fun if those having dinner on 18th can appear in the papers.. what do you gals think? If wan we can make some special arrangement like putting on webcam at our notebook and talk to grooms and brides from other hotels/restaurant to create a new Singapore record. Sure the reporters got interest to come and interview and maybe we'll appear in the tv news too.. haha.. how? if wan better let me know as soon as possible before the reporter get back to me. If not convenient to discuss here can send email to [email protected]

Left not much time liao.. before all 18th sept brides disappeared for the last minute preps, wish all have a happy and blissful marriage!

by the way, dun worry abt the hair .... i BS will do something abt it...

btw, Natas fair already over... so the price for packages will be more X nw?

 

[watashi]

exactly!!.. actually she knows & already have in mind who she wants to give liao... so while my sis & i chatting abt wat cakes to order.. she suddenly said shld need at least 20cans. very cake must come with a 1 can.. and neighbours must give also coz they also give her when their daughter get married..
haiz.. now still waiting for MIL to give me the GDL date & AD timing to fetch the bride.


ti qing.. is to do wat? diff from GDL?

 

[merryberrys]

china collar shirt?
i not so sure where to get also... its not really a must right? think ur bs will know where to get it...
call them up

 

[dolphin48]

berry, my mum also wanted "ti qing" but my FSIL says nowadays no such thing liao and my FMIL also not keen on this..... so to pacify both sides, i say come out and meet for dinner lor...

me no roast pig cos my mum don't want as granny is vegetarian.... but she is okay with pig trotters???? but also haven't confirm yet..... don't wanna think till nov when GDL is near .....

 

[janf]

my ma oso sorta mentioned said muz TiQing. then my FMIL went ??? then i know jialat liao! betta zip my mouth and ask my ma to exempt this practice.. i oso headache.. ask my ma wat items she need, she said anythg. can someone define wats ANYTHG?!

 

[dolphin48]

janf, now u know why i say i very pek chek with my mum cos she also everything anything and she literally meant anything cos i think she don't wanna think and leave me to decide what is reasonable for her..... that's stressful......
my FMIL also ??? when she heard ti qing..... say now wat century already.... actually hear already i also a bit hot leh..... but think maybe they never do that so just see open a bit lor....

 

[merryberrys]

jam i not so sure abt the price diff... dun wanna think or ask abt it coz i booked liao.
mabbe coz mine had to transit so its cheaper...
regardin the "ti qing" i tell u... i told my mum long ago tat no need juz come out dinner discuss abt the gdl,tables,etc can liao.but my mum v old fashioned say muz go her house to ti qing. so will arrange a date for inlaw to visit my hse.. chit chat session.
sound absurd but my mum wants... so go with it... she will roughly tell us how many boxes cakes..other things she want from my inlaws that day...also the tables...

[panggou]

i cant even collect the cards to print yet, cos our parents have not even come up with the guest list yet, that means, dont have expected num of guest, that means dont even know how many tables, that means dont know how many cards we can get hahahah. stupid right???
