[zoeanne27]

Hi Gwen
U are back!! So we can see photos already
heehee.. My 1st choice is also Julia Wedding News.
I like their embriodery and laces type. But too ex for me.. In the end, I went JB.. But JB one also nice lor... I can get the gown i like.

Hi josl.. Yup, Hubby n I like the "old old" feel, black & White or Sepia type.. abit 70s like that.Hee hee... Ya, Jon Keng do not have much on Black & white yet. But trust his overakk skill that he can do it..YK and Sam all took up at my date.. They are both good too.

Ya tan
we are talking about Tuo Qiang Shi Jie lor..
Do you rent VCD or buy it? I also like to watch Jing Zhi Yu Nie..

Hi josie
What are all of u talking about? What is acid paper etc? Josie can PM me? Ya, I know what Tan is talking about.. The triangular sticker for slotting the photos. Right?

I thought of a place, Marina South Steamboat, round table, cheap and outdoor. But hor, not very convenient in going.

But if really cannot find round table, forget it la.. we choose something nice too..

Hi vivien
Welcome here..

 

[tou2]

Hi gals!!

Hi Sharlene. I also want to see your CS too!! But of course if you don't mind lar

Else we can go down another day

Hi Minky & Rokko. Any day is fine with me too but prob can only make it at abt 7pm. Is it too late for you?

Hi Rosalind, have your BS MTM your gown yet? can you still change change here and there? Maybe add few more "decos"? But actually simple and elegant also very nice but just have to wear big "blings blings" hehe... Or have outstanding hairdo?

Hi Janey, I'm with a Stat Board, considered myself similar to Govt job cos' everything also follow public service. But now it seems that it's not so attractive to work for govt/stat board anymore. The job security is not so confirmed also - look at HDB, and PSA. Even my workplace also have "golden handshake" for some dept liao. Although they do it very quietly. The perks are also being reduced - the leave have been changed to 18 days

And they are not letting us convert unused leave to money anymore. But why are you looking for govt job specifically??

 

[snowflakes]

Wow.......I seemed to have missed out a lot in the past few days, many postings to read.

Hi Sharlene, the Divine gown that I like is in the latest issue. Think on the right page, bottom left. I left my magazine at my hubby's place, so don't remember the exact page & position. But too bad, I only saw the side view of the gown, not too sure how the front looks like.
Btw, if the blue tone contains shades of green, it may be yellow base as well, so no worries lah Sharlene, u like it can already.

Hi Tougei, both WG & EG will be MTM, don't have the slightest idea what to get, as my wedding planner friend was asking me today. I don't really like to research leh, how? Think u gals can share ur homework with me like what Tougei said.....kekeke......if u all don't mind.

Would like to join u gals for the gathering as well but cannot cfm at this current moment......may have training. Maybe I can pop by when my training ends

 

[kit_kit]

[pinacola]

Hey there Bluey,

Sorry my email addy [email protected].
Budget not more than $1500 preferably..busted my budget liao

 

[minky]

rosalind: hehe... aiyo u dun listen to me... i talk so much like got many ideas like that but end up my EG design so common/standard nothing really special... a bit anti-climax leh. whereas i think sharlene's swan-like EG sounds really fab!

but nvm lah... all brides are beautiful mah.. so we'll definitely look good in watever we wear on that day!

btw, if u free y dun u join in the CS shopping as well?? more fun mah

janey: hey din noe u interested in govt job leh!! oh actually mine oso stat board lah.. still govt job i guess

okie, tomr go office i email u k

but too bad my det Head on leave and only back next wed else i cld hv asked her more abt the vacancy. and yah, tou is right... newbies to govt job nowadays will lugi a bit cos of the reduced no. of days of annual leave. anyway, will email u tomr

rokko: yah lor yah lor... seems like everybody hving miah as their designer leh

hmm... i still hv no idea which is the wow gown leh... oh yah both my WG and EG designs confirmed liao.. jus that the detailings after my first fitting then decide wat else to add

actually for my red EG minda suggested to incorporate feathers at the top right side there and for the lacing at the back she said to use black to contrast... but umm... i not v sure leh.. scared will look too unconventional.. anyway told her we'll wait til my first fitting then decide.

tou: 7pm is fine w me

so how har? when we wan go? or maybe we wait for sharlene to reply first?

snowflakes: hee... initially i oso not v keen to do research.. cos like v leh chey like that. but after i bought my first mag and visited the first BS (btw it's divine couture

) aiyo i like addicted liao... everyday oso think wat design i wan etc

yah, wld be great if u cld join us

[allyallyally]

Hi all!

My facial package is $600 for 10 sessions + 2 free eye treatment. I think there are over 60 different treatments you can choose from, usually based on the beautician's advice after performing skin analysis. But actually I haven't gone for my second treatment, so dunno if that procedure is followed. As for results, I still can't tell after just one session leh...

winnie...have you gone to make your WG and EG yet? Oh dear...your AD is the same as mine...which means I prob can't get Mavis as MUA liao...sadsad...heard from many gers that she's the best.....any other alternatives? Or can she actually take double/triple shifts?

witch...me also interested in your meal supplement thingy...any further info?

 

[allyallyally]

The salon actually allows for instalment payments of $100/month....

 

[kero]

Hi gals!

Sorry that I was MIA for a long long time...haven't got chance to go online since I started a new job. Very strict access to internet...now very busy with home reno too...

SOo many new comers...me blur blur liao....

Saw briefly tat u gals having a gathering on 19 Nov?? Where are u all going? Ok if I join in if I can? I would luv to join in the sharing sessions again....

 

[edna]

haha everybody is revealing their weight...let me join in!! i am also overweight la.... 1.64m and 61kg. haiii...my hubby keep asking me to slim down... makes me feel quite sad at times...cos since young i am the round round type... my heaviest weight was 68kg. Lightest was 53kg. now is somewhere in bt. how i wish i weigh 53kg now..heheh

 

[sharlene]

Rosalind,
U mistunderstood, my EG is MTM. I meant that the EG that are on the racks are those that they made for the bridal shows or mags shooting/ads. As they package, the EG are all MTM for keep, thus can't really see the designs of much EG since all brides brought home their EG. My package is MTM, thus have to decide on the design to MTM. Even after MTM u dun like hor, u also have to bring it home lor...coz its under the package mah. Their OTR EG are nice...but just that I still can't decide which is the one I preferred most

Other Divine bride not much problem leh...guess I'm the only ma fan one

Gals,
How's ur facial shopping?

 

[sharlene]

Tougei/Minky,
I dun mind u gals coming with me to see the CS. When u gals going down? I can collect my CS after 10 Nov.

Minky
I spent $699 for the CS. Quite worth it coz the beadings are nicely done.

Snowflakes,
I roughly know which gown u referred to. The latest issue design are abit not like their usual signature design. Their new designs are very nice, which will be featuring in the latest style mag next yr.

Rokko,
Any openings for lecturers in Poly? Can keep me posted if any?

[jen_bibi]

HI sun96

me left 1 interior design who i ve yet to see her design cos she keep changing e appoinments.
FH n I more or less decided on 1 interior design.
we even did a spot check on them by visiting 1 of our neighbour who did their reno with them.
they ve very good things to say abt them.
furthermore this contractor also my sis's frien bro so he is giving us a very good pricing.


Wat u think gals??

executive with 130sq metre
reno for almost 33k

 

[yuki_ko]

Alamak... now more worst... if it's supposing MTM, then why have to pay extra $1,000?

Facial shopping? mi lazy leh... till now haven't go yet... hehehehee... went to one of those beauty salon down my place... accordingly to them their using IPL.... mi suaku tot that it's a product... but some gals from another thread told mi that it's either some equipment or techniques that they use.... aiya... when it comes to these beauty stuff... mi blur liao lah... nvr really care abt the brand and product I use also... everytime, see nice nice packaging... juz buy...

 

[jen_bibi]

Hi godloved n mushloom

WOW!!! u 2 sure work fast... me n e rest of e gals must really catch up.

i think i will sign with thomson wedding... but i think i will go down to their branch again to see see look look.

e photographer is good n FH really liks his pics

 

[yuki_ko]

Looks like we have quite a few gals working for govt in this thread... rokko, minky, tou2? wow... dun play play leh...

now even sharlene & jan also wanna go into it... govt sector really that good meh? Dunno leh... that time I applied for STPB, they say my degree not local so they dun want. So, now dunno whether if they are still so strict...

Jan... promise? promise? okie... mi believe u...

heheheheee..

Hi tou2, I have gave him the design I wanted liao... but dunno whether he started already or not... but anyhow, dun think wanna make further changes to it... until I see my gown lor... perhaps, will add more details at the back... like more frills (those we saw @ SL) or flowers (I like one of the gown shown on Divine's WG) so perhaps, will ask him to add it in later... but of course, all these decide when the end result is out lah... the only worries I have is the netting in the front... which has the folded effect one... dunno will make me look fat or 'no figure' or not... (not to say that I have figure to show lah... but at least, dun make me look like one big ball rolling in mah)... think the corset kinda gown will make u look slimmer... hehehehe... coz I wore that during my ROM mah...

Hi Minky.... hahahhaaa.... but I think sometimes what Jit - SL said also make some senses lor... it's better to keep it simple, specially for the front... coz u would be wearing lots of jewelleries liao... plus the make-up... it would be too 'crowded' if there's too much detail in yr gown...

When u gals going for CS Shopping? I scare I later ka chng itchy...

go and buy CS some more then how....

Snowflakes... u r always welcome to join us of course... try to make it on that day, okie?

Now, mi got one problem... that's that I haven't buy my album yet... if till 19 Nov, still haven't buy album, u all mine juz looking @ photographs, can? but must warn u gals first... 300 over leh... take long long time to see one...

u sure u want me to bring or juz handpick a few to bring for u all to see?

[xiaozhu]

Hi JXNC,
I m staying in AMK too. Haha .. my FH is nearly 120kg ... even more scary, isn't it?

Yesterday, i was sick ... so i eat n sleep ... eat n sleep ... this morning when i weigh again, i gain 0.7kg ... aiyo, got to work harder!!

Hey gals,
wondering does anyone of u have pigmentation problem at armpits and other parts of your body(due to perspiring and friction)?

Does anyone of u has any recommendation on whitening?

 

[cheertho]

JNXC,

i have one contact fr friend. I heard that he is using digital camera, do edit on the photo, no time limit n starts from $500, 300 edited photo n give back all unedit on cd. i m unable to put his website leh....dun know why

 

[highness]

Hi cottoncandy,

Ur BS not providing meh? there's a shop along tanjong pagar specialise on Kuas.. they have a very wide range.. if u got buy wed mag, most of the Kuas featured r theirs loh..
btw, u met Sam wong rite? how u find him? I've shortlisted him oso but haven't meet him.. he very not free ar..

 

[yming]

cottoncandy i only know orchard Kino has the book ....dunno the rest ....

u can rent the kua from House of Etiquette located at Tg Pagar

 

[xiaozhu]

Hi gals,
I have done some homework on the photography. The price can be as low as $500 for 360 digital images or $550 for 10 rolls... some famous photographers can be up to $1.5k. All these are based on whole day basis. It depends on what u want ... how many tables do u have ... how much budget do u have.
For me, i have low budget and yet i have ard 65 tables ... so i got to find a photographer that charges below $700.

 

[bb_joyceblue]

Cheery,
I have one contact 2... this guy freelance, doing full day AD photography. He got 3 types of package: Std ($500, Silver ($600) & Gold ($800). All packages include unlimited digital shots & 300 edited 4R prints in gloss/matt white border album. All images stored in CD, & returned. Got 2 CD - one is 300 edited printed photos & one is unedited copies for the rest of the unprinted photos. Plus got E-Album slideshow in VCD format (similar to montage). Onli diff. is the Silver & Gold packages got additional collages - 2x8R (Silver) & 20x8R (Gold)... feel that his packages is pretty worth lor..

Some more no extra charge even if your AD starts b4 6am or dinner ended after midnite... Day express highlights at extra $100... anybody interested? His mobile: 98709837. If u ppl tried, let me know outcome okie? Thx.

PS-Cannot put in his Company name/website due to some words not allowed on discussion board.. if u ppls wan his website add, email me at [email protected]
