Hi dinah,
Oh, we also have one recently during chinese new year.. just more on getting to know each other.. not really talking abt marriage then.
My Mum more traditional and want face type.. she wanted my fh side to come to our house and formally ti qing as well as talking abt their tables and etc.
Hi jitpong,
If I have table shortage then I also dun mind them inviting people I dunno.. perhaps even have more bargaining power..

icy ~ wow ... your mum is quite traditional indeed .... hmmm that one i can't really offer any thoughts or advice lah ... cos most of the discussions are done by me and FH as go-between ... so like pin jin, i told my mum to give us a range of her expectations to work with ... hehehe ... terrible right? but that way it would be easier for us to budget cos end-day we are the ones who are footing the entire bill, including all these pin jin, ang-pows etc
Hi anna,
I need ur email address to sent u the quotes.
Hi duffybuff,
some people just 2 families come to restaurant and talk like that.. but mum dun like she says no privacy..

Hi Icy,
My FH and me paying for the wed ourselves so no need for any formal meeting...I have final say... Anyway our parents met during our grad ceremony few years back so no intros needed anymore.
Unless I need people to make up to the min # of tables, I don't think I want to have siblings friends...I think it's a burden to them too and they can't share our joy...so what for ask them to come and give AngPow.
Appreciate my parents so much now man...now leaving FH to settle things with his parents... I very stubborn and cannot stand doing things I dowan just for 'face' and tradition. They sussing out when we buying flat (wait long long more man)... wait till they find out that it's over my dead body that I will stay will them...
very sian, feel sh**ty...going to find FH for pampering session.

Hi dinah,

hi Karen,

Fates ~ yah must be central lar...nebermind, we arrange somewhere nearer for everyone first. I heard that it's very good. hehee
Jitpong ~ haha....no lar, i'm sure all these bending here and there would make you more and more flexible in time to come yah?
U have to tahan the initial discomfort lar..hehee
Anna ~ i hear you calling for kaki this Sat but i can't make it usually for weekends. Sorry abt that yah?
Icy ~ ah ha...i knew u cannot tahan to leave this thread for too long. hahaha.....So u guys been drinking fruit smoothies everyday??
I like smoothies very much. Did u all buy/share the blender machine? is it the machine that looks like a cup kind? And the blades are just on top? (sorry for the BAD description!!)
Dinah/Karen/Buffy !~...imagine so many strangers (friends of siblings) turning up hor...i mean if my friend's sis/brother gets married, i wouldn't really want to gana invited to the wedding cos that means that i need to spend money for nothing.
not very close somemore..unless i know their sibling personally. then it's diff lar...
Yeah, i'm also curious...when is the right time for both family to meet up? We did mention to both our families that we want to marry next year but haven't informed them for the AD yet..hahaa...

Hi, I am new here, hope to join in the gang.
Currently planning for 4th quad of 2005. Thinking of of booking for the hotel first as I am afraid that the day I want might not be available. Sourcing for a date this wkend, guess will be going to one of the geomacy masters for help..
Planning to ROM end of this year. Another option is to ROM on the same day as my AD. Invite the JP over to the hotel. Which is better? Any comments??

icy ~ hmmm quite true .. maybe that way she will come to a decision on most things ...
hehehe ... i told my mum to think about number of tables and gave her 1 week to give me estimate ... so when she did , i told her i am only giving her a buffer of extra 2 more tables ... and she will have to work with those numbers ....
FH did the same with his mum too
the face issue is common with all parents,i think ... like how many tables this person got or that person got ... sigh .. i've been through all that .. we got quite upset with my mother at one point and even told her that if she kept listening to everyone and not to us, and what we want, we would rather not do the dinner and everything at all ... hehehe ... that got her listening .. and also the 'are you paying for the wedding' attitude (which is quite bad i admit) also helped

smilez ~ oh our parents met up a two months back ... about two months after FH proposed ... my parents knew he proposed cos he did go ask them for permission and he also did tell his mum of his intentions ...
so after that over casaul dinners, it was our parents who told us to go organise a meet-the-in-laws lunch session ... so we did an informal one lor ... and then fmil left it to my parents to choose date cos she said she was quite blur about these sorts of things ....

karen ~ you sound very frust...take it easy ok? Like u say lor..let FH settle his side, u settle yours...so it's easier for both of you hor....go go..get some pampering & sayang-ing from your FH...u will surely feel much better!
Icy ~ Yah, i think your mom probably is pressured into getting all these special treatment cos u have so many other aunts. U know lar..older folks won't want to look bad among their peers too...*sighz* headache boy..
Can see that your mom is very traditional kind...hmmm...
Dinah ~ me never been to Spizza too..but i am find with Club Street. Easier to get that there Holland V ba.....
Fates ~ The skies are super dark....but i think it won't pour so soon lar...better pack up and go too..
Buffy ~ no lar, it's not a SIN to eat too much...just think of it as a stress relief method yah? Plus there's so many of us here to share the cheescake..hahaha....
oke dokie..i also gotta run...going gym today!
See ya later alligators....

Catura,
Yeeks! Use needles? That is so scary!!
Yah I agree facials are so expensive hor... And I feel so heartpain the other time after Adonis, expensive yet not effective. I think regular cleansing, and mask at home is cheaper option lor.
So are facials and spas cheaper in Aussie?
Btw, I'm 25 this year. You are abt 27 now right?! Thats not old at all! But sigh... I'm beginning to see fine lines too. I think cos we are getting married, we are sooo conscious abt everything! Hehe... I'm even going to the gym regularly now!

Talk about wedding I'm so stress... cos suppose to @@ the geomnacer just Sunday... went ther 7 early 8 early then told me cannot give me the dates for next year cos tong su not out yet... wow... actually thought maybe just anyhow pick a date will do man.... so troublesome...
leeds,
I totally agree with us being too conscious about everything cos afterall the bride gets MOST of the attention on that day!! ahahah! I too just started going to the gym every weekday.. heeheh!
Facials are ard the AUD60-80 range.. and they arent as pushy as wat I've read abt SG...
I suddenly have this weird idea... U think I am asking for too much if I actually have another celebration just for close friends 1 week after my actual wedding? Was thinking, a wedding is once in a life time and for that I only get to be in the center of attraction ONE DAY.. that's not enough for me... ahahah

fates ~ the si dian jin is supposed to be bought by the fmil for the fdil ... so depends on your fmil lah ... i supposed can gently nudge her to buy white gold .. hehehe ... i know i am going to do that
icy ~ mothers tend to be like that ... FH and i are paying for all the tables anyway but we told our families that our first priority is to break even so ask them to give us back all the ang pows from the tables to try and break even or minimise loss ... if we happen to make a bit of profit, then profit will give to my mum lor .... that was how i negotiated with her ...
i also told FH that my parents expect to be asked for permission ... so FH come over to my place one morning after i left for work to speak with my parents first ... before he proposed ... so quite good, score points .. hahahahah
jelly ~ how come you cannot get dates? i got my dates shortly after CNY this year... in fact he gave me three dates for next year to choose from ....

jelly ~ my mother didn't want to tell me how much ... she said she bought this geomancer lunch cos they are old friends .. and she gave an ang pao ....but i don't think it was very much .. but she said better for you to call him to ask him about his costings ... he is located in the hougang area
i think si dian jin is for teochew families but a lot of other people i know, seem to have 'borrowed' this custom too
