[yuki_ko]

Hi Gals...

hhahaaa... thks for the compliment... mi juz hiding my fats lah... my tummy quite big... maybe because when I took my PS, I juz recovered fr my illness so that's y slimmer...

Initially, I planned my AD to be in March but because my MIL took such a long time to go thr' the tong shu... by the time she gave the March's date... it's all taken up... so we postponed the AD to June lor... also because the photographer said that April to early May has the most beautiful sky colour in Tioman...

that's y we decided to take early lor... then not so rush mah...so kasu hor..

As for my gown... nope... that's for my PS only. My MTM gown is not ready yet... as for my EG, it's similar to one of the gowns featured in Style Magazine, pg 90...the apple green one...

 

[sashamama]

Hi Sharlene

[zoeanne27]

Hi Girls

SKII, wah, its very ex. I tot of buying b4 but my face real sensitive type. Just to use Nuskin and my face went reddish and all popping of pimples after I use the 2nd bottle.

I went to Maple clinic at tampines and manage to cure my skin. I also spend alot there.. Now using all their products. Maybe i can ask my doc if i am suitable to use SKII pitera products.. So far hers now are good.. not much breakouts unless my "auntie" come..

Fitness? I poor poor la.. join the public one at $2.50 per pax..

Ya lor, i got 12 ah yees. But maybe by then some of my gfs become pregnant and may reduce la. They are planning for babies already.. As for ang bao,i try to make sure every one have at least $28 and more.. My parents and my PIL side , they will also give them angbao themselves...Everytime I be Ah yee for my gfs, total i receive only $40 a day.. ha ha.. abit low but for friends, i dun mind the $$.. I hope my ah yees and xiong di dun mind too..
We are not giving ang bao to small cousin younger than us.. Cos both our family do not have this traditions.. So lets keep it
But for my hubby 's own sis, of course we will give her as she sure serve us tea..I am the youngest in my family, not counting those cousins, so no ang bao given to any sibling..

Janice/zoe/Josie

Me taking Herbalife. similar to the cambridge diet lor.
at the same time did some exercise like playing badminton and jogging...thats y can managed to slim down a bit..still far far to go...only replaced one meal lor....lunch still take normal food and at night very very light food lor...

i also got very 'itchy' mouth one...but still can resist lah cos i very lazy to go out to buy food one....except for steamboat..heehee

try to keep yourself busy then won't keep thinking of food.

sky
a few years ago i joined amore..now go to my co gym cos free...can save money...so i make it a point to go with my colleagues twice per week..

zoe
thanks..i received your mail...is there any website to view his portfolio?

jelly
the steamboat is at the open space field is it?behind the 7 storey hotel ah?i went there b4 if thats the place...not bad...good food

 

[fates]

Hi starstar ~ Ya my hubby really can't wait to move into our lovenest man

As for honeymoon, hmmm we haven't really plan for it yet though..........let's see if we have access $ from the AD or not

Hi jas ~ Yes of course need to renovate our new home

We finish doing so few months back so now we're saving for the AD. What other things to do beside photography and videography?

Hihi Matilda neighbour!! Seems like we have quite a number of punggolians and park greeners here eh.

Hi Yuuri ~ Ok I'll update it soon

Welcome on board Hermione!

 

[odiey]

Sky,
once u enrol in Fitness Club, muz make full use cos I used to join california fitness, in the end, only went once in a blue moon. Waste money..... If u can find company, lagi better, at least can motivate each other to go.

Me starting my Pilates lessons this week with my gfs, was doing that for more than a yr until I stopped in Mar. Ve to start toning my body again, now so flabby. I find Pilates better than gym cos I dunno how to use the machines, in case build wrong muscles and become too muscular and bulky. Pilates build lean muscles, so good for ladies, n help to build flexibility too. ;p

 

[bashful]

hi mathilda
welcome back home

hope it's not too late to welcome u...juz managed to find time to login.
which part of china did you go?
me thinking of gg to shanghai end year...any shopping tips?

yybb,
i'm not too familiar with goldleaf...but if someone's recommended, then it's safer lor i suppose. you can still browse ard since u still hv time. btw, cldn't get the curtain contact. sorry!

as for price comparison, i totally ignored courts as a choice so can't comment. tried comparing HN and BD and felt that BD was better. then again, i bot my stuff a year ago so mebbe competition is better now regardless which ones, they really can't compare to those neighbourhood electrical shops i mentioned. e.g. my fren recently bot a samsung plasma from mega. the discount was at least $1,000. my neighbour bot same TV as us but cost them at least $700 lesser (from mega too). how to fight??!! point is...try to consolidate your purchase if you want to buy fr elec shop. the deal is def better

hi hermione,
welcome onboard! mine's same date as you too!
where's wedding dinner? hmm...u also hv 2 PS *envy envy*

 

[deepbluesky]

if you gals don't mind, can I join for the gathering if my schedule permits?

I'm manage to cut down via Positrim Replacement Meal too. But still need to tone up mah..

Thought can find some gym goer here, then got kake mah.. Hee hee...

 

[jellytots77]

yo zoe... hur how come seminar until so late... so good also can read post one hur... okie lor... i got time help u search ard see wat GDL needs lor... me think everything also no need waste $$ onie... will try to brainwashes my parents dun waste this kind of $$... i think juz get the bery base one lor.... like the table lamp...

yo smile... heard of this herbalife b4... think quite effective leh... the chris soh also working in this line one leh... if i dun remember wrongly... hmm... then u keep up ur motivation hur.. wow i dun really know where is the place leh... i onie know is the lane beside liang seah st... call the tan quee lan st lor...

yo sky... agree with odiey... me also tat time sign up with california... but no motivation to go cos no friends to join me... so end up nbr really go man... waste my $$....

hmm... no problem... u are always welcome to join in lah... no need to be shy one... hmm.. so i put u under not confirm status hur....

 

[jen_bibi]
