Afternoon girls...
Not chirpy today.
Feeling very dispirited at and with work. I already don't like my job and company, and had thought of leaving since Dec, but I kept tahan-ing.
In Apr, one colleague left. Another colleague is leaving end of the month, and just now, yet another colleague told me she is considering leaving too, and this time, she is my good friend.
All these made me even more xian.
Marnie: Cool idea of PS. I like the contrast of modern and tradition.
Hazel: Thanks for the advice. In future, if we were to buy a resale, will look out for those tips. Hadn't thought of so much.
El: Thanks for noticing my question.
I can't cook to save my life. But I told hb I will learn before AD. He said who comes home earlier will cook. Looks like I will have to do most, if not all of the cooking.

Yah very impt to clique with your designer.
So have u shortlisted any yet or still searching?
When i went to try our gowns at GHA, the designers said i suit the more dreamy kind. Still wondering what it means. I don't want to end up looking like a 'xiao mei mei' leh..

Hey deremi,
thanks thanks. But how good is this Mr Low. I found a videographer, who charges $650, but then after viewing, I feel is only so-so and started to raise my budget higher up abit to get better quality. Afterall, the video is the only thing "live" that I can see again next time....
1 : pick a gd AD --got it.
2 : source for banquet --got it
3 : source for BS --got it
4 : source for PG --got it
5 : source for VG --still looking lor, this is the last item.
Hey Nya, I think is better to have it in 2 days, at least not so tiring..I have to squeeze in 1 day and have to aim to end the tea cermony at say 130 before checking in hotel at 2pm so got sufficient time to rest abit leh..
My itinery is to be in very detailed, as in like who is going to open the door lah, who sits in the follower's car lah, etc.
have you all appointed your jiemeis?

Hi Kerene,
ask u huh... how did hdb inform you that u can defer the ROM cert... cos i went for my first appt already and they have not decided leh... they even ask mi when i can give it to them latest... and my officer herself reply issit 31 march leh... So will they send a letter to inform? cos i think i won't be meeting the officer til 2nd appt, which is purely to hand over the keys leh.... now so confused....
and my agent says chance is not high.. cos when he faxed over our appeal letter the officer even called him... at about 8 or 9pm!!!... and ask is it really correct, defer to March next yr.. then the officer says "WAH.. 9 months ah???... usu the longest we give is 6 months..." So i think not likely to get approval.....

Marnie: very troublesome to bring my gown up and down, pay my make up artist and photography fees; plus think of transport. Maybe some time in the future, say for our anniversary? Think it'll be cheaper.
oo and yes! Me gonna show up on tuesday..will give ya my hp no. too.
Hey ladies, i am thinking of doing my own photo collage of all the photos me and fh took in the past. BUT, i must find time hahahaha.
Lipstar, how long have u been in the job? i know how you feel. Its very easy to part with the job but damn tough to say goodbye to your colleagues-especially if you are close to them. Since you also considering to leave, why don't you and your good friend look for new job together and for each other? That's what we are doing in my office here. Every mon, one of my colleagues will bring a copy of the recruit and we'll flip together and encourage one another to apply for a certain job.

i think so la.. since you already saw your dream gown in the mag from Divine?
couldn't b impossible to find something that suits you

El: Barely a year. About 10 months only,
that's why I'm tahan-ing.
By seeing so many staff leaving, hope you all can understand what kind of a hellish and draconian working environment my office is. Forgot to mention, yet yet another colleague has been looking for jobs oredi. He has sent out a lot of resumes.
In an office of 18 staff, 4 has/ is going to leave. If include me, 5.
The others didn't leave because most of them are not young anymore. It would be very difficult for them to find new jobs as employers here still tend to prefer to hire young people.
My colleague has a lobang oredi. So she has an option.
For me, I don't like to keep taking leave to go for interviews. I prefer to resign, then slowly take my time to look for jobs and go for interviews. And I don't know if I should leave now, as over the next few months, I am going to be busy with gown fitting (I intend to take leave and go down on a weekday rather than squeeze with other brides on a weekend) and basically with the wedding prep. And during 1st three months' probation, cannot take paid leave. It also wouldn't be nice for a new staff to keep taking leave.
Dilemma here man.
Wah! Your office so open concept one ah! Good.

hahaha i guess that's how close we all are lor but of course it helped that we all have the same goals
My colleagues will help me cover when i slip out for my interviews and help me look out when i print/photocopy my documents etc.
i know your dilemma. I told u girls i am going to change job right? I am really afraid this new job will affect my wedding prep in one way or another or vice versa. Plus, you said it, not nice to take leave esp when u are a new staff. But i made it clear to my sup that i am getting married next yr and would've take leave here and there; she seemed to understand. I hope so. But i made the choice already, i need to look forward and not back.
Well, i agree wif ya, if u can hang on, stay there till ur wedding is over. U never know, things may change within ur org for the better? That happened to my best friend

Hi ladies,
Just started planning for the AD and thinking of having it in last quarter 2006 (Oct to Dec 2006). Can share how you manage to get the good dates for that period since the tong shu is not out yet. Any contacts to get the "good dates".
Yvonne,
Will you be able to share the Focus Bridal package with me? My email address is [email protected]. Thanks a lot

if your wedding is on a weekday, is customary all going to be on the same day too?

mine was chosen by a geomancer where we indicate that weekends is preferred. He gave us one 1 AD date only. The geomancer also choose the GDL and AC dates lor.
planning wedding on popular date is not easy. Got to 'fight' with other couples on banquet venue, then JP also. My ROM will be on same date as AD. I call Mr David loh (JP) last week. When he told me that another couple also approach him for same date & time, i nearly faint...haa haa. But it's okie lah..still got time, can slowly explore other alternatives too. Look positively
