Dear Ana:
Happy for you that ur PS went well! Must share pix with us, ya?
All the BEST for ur results!!!
And happy for you too, about your key collection! I wonder when would mine be! Hopefully in Feb too!
Dear Jen:
Did you miss my posting up there on Dec 22? Mind sharing ur info according to that template? All of us here do that, and i would compile into an excel spreadsheet to facilitate our chatting! hehe...
19 June sounds like a very HOT date! Would advise you to decide ASAP on venue and bridal studio and make up artist and actual day photographer and videographer (if you intend to engage). Also, make tentative bookings at all ur shortlisted hotels first!
Will email you all our info after u update yours.. Maybe you can refer to that as advice?
I actually have an 82 page wedding info file, but am currently adding more info to it, definitely beyond 100 pages. Would send to u and all the gals here when it's ready!!!
Dear Ying11:
Me & FH & his best fren wil be going to Aburiya at Robertson Quay for dinner. Passed by before, smelt really good!!! hehe... It's ala carte, so can control the cost lo! As for dinner tonight, if you yet to make reservation, then most hotels and restaurants are already booked lo! Try to search on the yellow pages website for suitable restaurants in the location you want?

coyote, im going to shop for last min presents. Dunno what to get for FH. He wrapped up my present so thickly (I can see that he scotch-taped the sides of the box as well) so that I cannot take a peek. hehe. I like to shake my presents to guess what they are in my head. Or peek into the flap of the box to see.
I think when I was young, i was deprived of presents. that's why so overly excited.

Hi Sasha
Hehehe... thks thks... I like it alot myself... I copied design here & there...
It's not complete yet... still need to add on some beads and also frills at the back before it's complete.
Actually, it's more dreamy as I though it will be coz my designer make it very wavy lor... at first I thought it would be very heavy bottom because I like my gown more 'big bottom' mah... but dunno how he do... it's quite light and wavy looking... mi bo bian.. my hubby so big size... got to have 'bigger' gown to match him mah...
Personally, I like v-neck better... but after trying all the different cuts, think I still look nicer wif bustier... that's y, I settled for bustier in the end...

Hi Happylady
I have sent you an email back
But can you enable your private messaging so next time I can just PM you?
Express highlights is to show the morning gatecrashing during the dinner. Usually it will cost an additional of $100-$150.
Hi Snap, my Mum didn't like 6th month cos' someone told her it mean "pan shi fu qi" or "being a couple for half a lifetime" But personally, I don't believe in these superstitions
But just to please my Mum lor...If your parents don't mind that all the better for you since it is not a peak period and you wont have to compete with all the rest for the preparations
Hi Yuki, Merry Christmas to you too

Hi swangal & bubbles,
Yap I am born in 1980! Thanks so much for your reply with regards to the bra. Now I know i don't have to waste my money buying nu-bra.
Hi Sweet & Stars,
Herballife seems really good but you must have the determination to finish your whole course. Many people that I have seen lost weight after taking it. The formula may taste funny, but you can add low fat milk to it & will be better. The chocolate & tropical fruit one also taste good... Seems that can try. But don't rush yourself no matter what the sale person says. Better to take the formula only for the first month then slowly add on the others if you need.

Hi Jen,

planning to do our montage with childhood photos, dating photos, grad photos too... a bit ambitious, i'm dying liao...

My email to him

Dear Robin,
It actually take such pain for me to write this email. Weeks ago, I was still happily preparing to hold my wedding at Villafrangipani's garden dreaming of a bali-style wedding with my loved ones. But my dream shuttered when I arranged to popped by Villafrangipani on 8 Dec 04 with my caterer for site inspection and discuss on details with Wendy. A kitchen was pernamently set up at one of pavillon! And I was not informed of this change in garden layout. When we viewed a venue & pay the rental for the event, any changes to the original layout we should be informed. That is the basic courtesy, don't you think so? It disturbed me alot as I planned to have my buffet line and VIP tables at that pavillon, and also to march-in from the carpark through that pavillon and finally to the stage. I feedback to Wendy and she simply gave us the look that is not an issue, we just have to change our plan. This is not the only nightmare. The next moment she told me that the fountain pavillon will be used for her winebar guests. Come on, I rented the garden and all facilities of the garden should be for my usage on my event date. How could she come and just take away this and that? I almost fainted. And when I asked her can we use the 3 new little pavillons in the garden out of courtesy. To my surprise, she said no. Its reserved for VIP, we cannot use. What?!!!! This is totally ridiculous, we are not treated as VIP. My goodness, is the worst thing an event organiser will say to their clients.
The only thing that I could say is after paying for a non-refundable 50% deposit, the whole story changed. Anyway Wendy has never make the first move to contact me even after 8 Dec she is supposed to get back to me on certain issues and I have yet to hear from her. Oh yes, there is once she made the first move to call me. That was when she asked for my deposit cheque! She told me initially that any furnitures in the garden which we think is not suitable she could shift them away according to our wedding plan. And now, the story became the storeroom is full. All furnitures in the garden have to remain as it is. Even when my caterer offered to help shifting a piece of furniture to another place just to make room for the buffet line and the request was declined. I must say she is very smart, she wouldn't say NO but whatever she phrased, the ultimate conclusion is still NO. I walked around and realised that the whole place is over-clustered with furnitures here and there. Some furnitures were even pushed so near to each others that hardly anyone could make their way in to sit!
This is very bad! I no longer want to hold my wedding day at Villafrangipani. The whole incident has upset my hubby and me so much that we no longer feel comfortable with this place. No matter how beautiful the place is. And I don't want my wedding to be ruined by people who don't understand how important an event is to the host. And is my wedding day! Not just a every year once's birthday party where I can organise a better one next round.
I don't hope to get any compensation or anything from Villafrangipani but I feel very injustice if I suffer in silence. So, the least you should know about this as I was told by people who recommended me Villafrangipani if there's anything I can talk to you. I don't know whether you would just trash this email away or do something about it. Its up to you, this thing has bothered me so much that I finally clear my thought that I should move on and not dwell over it. My wedding is in 3 weeks time and within such a short period, I still need to source for another suitable event. Its is very disrupting for me.

Dear Christine,
Merry Christmas! You are quite right to write to me about this matter I am always happy to have a direct communication with our valued quests.
I am so sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding your wedding plans at Little Bali and your decision not to hold the event here. A wedding at Little Bali is a wonderful experience I hope you will change your mind!
When you booked the garden the place was recently opened and whilst it is always our intent not to change the theme any establishment tends to evolve. We sincerely hope that these changes which involved increased seating and an out door food facility truly enhance the attractiveness of Little Bali to our guests. For our event customers we want to make a once in-a-lifetime event even more memorable.
Whilst we should have advised you of these enhancements to our environment, we are sure that we can work around the inconveniences of the food facility by providing freshly cooked and prepared food; also perhaps the food area can be dressed up to match your theme? We will do our best to accommodate any other shortcomings that may have arisen as a result of the evolution of this beautiful setting. Regrettably we cannot allow outside drinks to be served in Little Bali and the $10 +++ charge for non-alcoholic drinks is a standard package we offer for weddings. We do offer in-house catering services either North Indian cuisine from Kinara@Little Bali or other selections by our catering partners, Thai, contemporary Italian, western, Indonesian etc; these services pay special attention to quality, value and presentation and are intended to blend well with the atmosphere at Little Bali.
As a gesture of our sincerity we would like to offer you and your partner a complimentary dinner with wine at Little Bali (to the value of $100) regardless if you cancel or not, of course we do hope that you will reconsider the cancellation of the event.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
------------------------------------------------

Dear Christine,
Merry Christmas! You are quite right to write to me about this matter I am always happy to have a direct communication with our valued quests.
I am so sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding your wedding plans at Little Bali and your decision not to hold the event here. A wedding at Little Bali is a wonderful experience I hope you will change your mind!
When you booked the garden the place was recently opened and whilst it is always our intent not to change the theme any establishment tends to evolve. We sincerely hope that these changes which involved increased seating and an out door food facility truly enhance the attractiveness of Little Bali to our guests. For our event customers we want to make a once in-a-lifetime event even more memorable.
Whilst we should have advised you of these enhancements to our environment, we are sure that we can work around the inconveniences of the food facility by providing freshly cooked and prepared food; also perhaps the food area can be dressed up to match your theme? We will do our best to accommodate any other shortcomings that may have arisen as a result of the evolution of this beautiful setting. Regrettably we cannot allow outside drinks to be served in Little Bali and the $10 +++ charge for non-alcoholic drinks is a standard package we offer for weddings. We do offer in-house catering services either North Indian cuisine from Kinara@Little Bali or other selections by our catering partners, Thai, contemporary Italian, western, Indonesian etc; these services pay special attention to quality, value and presentation and are intended to blend well with the atmosphere at Little Bali.
As a gesture of our sincerity we would like to offer you and your partner a complimentary dinner with wine at Little Bali (to the value of $100) regardless if you cancel or not, of course we do hope that you will reconsider the cancellation of the event.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
