Ming,
I also dun know how come only left 2 of us in this forum lei...
So far, i have 33 tables, hope to reduce to 30 tables, so that i need not open the reserve tables which is near to the toilet... So far, not all guest hv RVSP yet.. so lucky, you, hv confirmed your guest.
Regards my lovenest, well, i have just got the flat in July, reno finished in oct, hv also finished moving the stuff in, will moved in only after my AD.
So what things are you looking for helpers huh? The items from BLISS ? I saw your email le, the reply was from JO, but i still like their ex-stock, more cutie lei, what do you think.
Oh, so you looking for a (ZEN) side table, there is one shop in IMM that sell such items (I cant remember which floor) or you can consider IKEA too.
For toilet accessories, i would suggest you go to Poh Choon to find, there is a thread in the other forum regards toilet accessories too. I also bought mine from Poh Choon.
As for helpers, i am treating them the mani/pedi on xmas day (Already booked the appointment) + gatecrashing AP, after the AD, i will give them a big treat lah (Just in case, i cant find any ideal gift)
For my AD schedule, is actually done 1/2 way only lor... cos need to plan the timing.. and more... i dun hv so much time, cos still studying part time in MDIS.. sigh ! Will get hubby to help out to plan lor.

Hi ladies,
just to share way against hb who not anxious on wedding preparation.
i have been chasing & nagging on hb for wedding preparation but he dun seem to be anxious & assume there plenty of time......so i stop all nagging.
One day, he ask me what have been done so far(althought secretly done by me)? I said nothing....he start to panick. I want him to have a taste so left everything to him. Hee hee

newbbi..but i think in the end sure got relatives no turn up..coz the guest list inlaw done is invite the max in 1 family which i think if all come,their AP wont cover,if some no come,wont cover too...haha so let it b... i cannot crack anymore on this...i oredi prepared the losses liao..
so i told hb to invite all his engineers,can help to fill up empty seats...but limit to 1 extra table only...
watashi... better 2 remind ur hb to tell his mum,if u notice ur mil nv give AP to XD/JM,u better prepare the AP to give her distribute...coz really dun look gd one..i rem my fren mum nv give us AP & we all complain y no AP...even a small AP yi si also good ma...coz we reach her hse so early 2 help out leh...
think the AP for kids we got to bao ourselves... mayb 4,6,8 or 10 buckz can liao...

berry,
ya lor....she say the JM have to take cab and makeup or go outside do hairdo.... so must let them cover up their loses lor...
yes lor, will be giving $58 to the XDs lor...
MIL already invite her neighbours liao lor..haxii...now still waiting for hotel planner to get back to us lor. She called me yest. Ask if i can accept if 34 guaranteed table + 1 comp table. We calculated and find us luki if we accept.cos initially is 30 tables, get 1 FOC table. 35 get 2 comp tables. meaning we pay for 33 tables and get 2 comp tables based on our understanding.so if we were to accept their suggestion now, we have to pay for 34 tables, and get 1 comp table less.
