(2006) Brides of year 2006

Hi bugbear
I joined the mass solemnisation at Esplanade. there are 83 couples. 23 of them is solemnising n the rest is renewal of vows & engagement. quite a special event.

Did you go to the link i gave you? I went to my friend's soleminisation in the evening. at least better, your guest need not take leave to attend. just my point of view.

SOmetimes you cab go to ROM or stardus website to see if they are conducting any mass wedding. Heard from my friend that her friend has ROM thru the mass wedding at sentosa.
 


hi yaya...so glad that u had a special event...good for u

Will check out the sites...
 
Hi BugBear

Mine will be a very small scale wedding =) Hope max no of tables I need is 20 only. Think Century can accommodate that. Altivo? Any website? Thinking of hotel poolside cos need not scout for caterer hehe

Ling, never thought about the monsoon season... I worry more for the amount of ang pow that guests will give than their well being ahhaha me bad hor cos my relatives are mainly aunties and they may not know that this is a 4star hotel hehe
maybe cos personally i didn't think that it is a well advertised hotel? btw, i live in the west heee maybe that's why.

Btw, has anyone of you take up JB bridal package? If yes, can share with me? I will be going into JB this weekend. Thought of taking a look. Any idea where is skudai and how to go there by bus? Is it v troublesome to take up a bridal package if we have no car?

Oops! A lot of questions. Paiseh

Wow, yaya, you are actually one of the couples who rom in the mass wedding in esplanade! It must be v fun and memorable rom day for you =)

Not sure whether Duxton showflat is ready, bugbear.Maybe can go hdb web to c? Is a nice concept. I also wish to see the showflat even though I just bought a flat liao :P
 
ELIN..

century roxy is 4 star huh? alamak.. I go for those afternoon brunch for ROM only give $60! *faint* think I will have retribution.

Altivo is hillside.. not poolside.. but I think for banquet is not suitable.. more for reception only after ROM.. you looking at that?

JB very tempting offers.. sugarbabe deal also like super good.. 1.3k get the same package deal as in Singapore one..
 
Hi Ling

Yes, Century is 4 star...I am not sure about the rate for brunch...tot $60 is ok actually...no worry, is over, can't change liao...even we youngsters didn't know the rate let alone those elders alamak...

actually i signed up w a local bs liao but ...now tot of gg jb 2 c c look look also...prob is my bf and myself are not familiar in jb, u noe where is skudai or johor jayu and how to get there?

think i am hooked to this webpage leh
sad.gif

Imagined I stayed up till 4am plus to surf the web! tired man...
 
hahah...Elin...me also quite hooked to the forum...it's very nice to read all the posts...eventhough some may not be applicable...i just kpo kpo here and there...haha..

Hhm, yup, Altivo is hilltop...if u are interested to look at the pictures, i can send to u...cos i just got them from the coordinators...i am actually looking for a rom venue...i understand that they actually cater and design the wedding differently for each couple based on ur budget...and i am not too sure the max number of ppl...but u can try their site www.altivo.com.sg i thought they have a pretty nice western deck and a nice viewing deck...

Alternatively, if u don mind the distance, think sentosa (rasa sentosa or beaufort) has very nice by the beach settings. I think u can try there if it fits ur budget...their buffet is at around $60-65 +++

Ling, don worry...think $60is enough to cover for rom lunch...anyway, it's also over liao...don think so much...well at least now we all know that it's a 4-star hotel..heheh...come to think of it...we youngster already don know about that...let alone the older folks :p
 
Hi Bugbear

Don't mind send the pics to me?Can you send it to [email protected]? Thanks =)

Rasa sentosa is a bit too far for me. I am still thinking of whether the dinner should be buffet or chinese sit-down dinner...

Any comments of the JB bridal boutiques?

Have you booked your AD? How's your PS? Over?
 
Oops!Sorry bugbear, didn't realise you have not ROM yet like me hehe ;p

Heee...I am also studying pt now leh. Supposed to be revising but hor...hehe stick to the net liao

Ling, you are also looking for poolside wedding?Any luck so far?

sad.gif


Have you found your a flat? I am looking for a ID/contractor now...
 
hi elin, i got a package from JB BS, it's from printemps at City Square (near Custom) as for skudai, not too sure how to get there though... u drive there or?? if taking public transport, maybe can juz hop into a cab there but remember to neg. for the cab fare first..=)

mine oso small scale wedding as hubby is from malaysia n thus will be holding wedding for my relatives n friends...
 
sugar that why you get so good a deal!! I mean at least the hubby is malaysian.. so at least bigger discount as local mah!

Elin sorry no idea how to go ard JB.. and no not really looking for poolside wedding. Looking for a banquet place that have a swwimming pool so can arrange a poolside solemnization with maybe a before dinner reception or something. Doing ROM and banquet together mah. Anyway no luck.

Girls.. FH say dont want Noble house and Apollo.. I think I also say I dont want dragon gate then... because not poolside leh!My Dinner places becoming private limited liao!!

Anyway 4 star roxy century.. It really doesnt look like it leh. I mean the carpark is like the smallest I ever seen.

Anyway I think we should really concentrate on exams man! geeze.. I mean the exams is like weeks away and we are talking abt wedding in 2006.. heh

so where is your flat Elin?
 
hi ling, actualli no lah... think if ur bargain skills is gd, can get better discount than me.. that's wat i seen from other forum... my hubby is from Sabah so not much connection lah.. haha =)
 
hi hi...all of us are somewhat in the same boat...doing pt studies...instead of revising...hooked to the net liao...hahah...well, for me, at least i just finished exam not too long...so now waiting for the next sem in Aug..hahha...

Ladies...can i ask for some opnions/advice pls. Would you gals do:

1) hold banquet on weekends and go for those more affordable hotels/restaurants (same day for tea ceremony)

2) hold banquet on weekdays and go for your dream hotel (same day for tea ceremony)

3) hold tea ceremony on sun and banquet on mon so as to hold it in ur choice of hotel

I have a nudget constraint and i dunno wot i should do...help help...
sad.gif
 
Hi Bugbear

I will hold both the tea and the AD together, save time and $ cos I think the BS will charge extra if you request separate makeup, unless you are asking your frd to do it for you.

My flat is in the east. No choice, bf lives in the east. Guess he wants to go hm to makan daily
sad.gif


Anyway, I can't cook :P
 
hi elin...lucky u...at least u can go home for home cooked food...for me...i don think i can...gotto eat out liao...cos my hse is no where near both parents...
happy.gif
 
elin..

sentiment exactly abt the seperate day thingy.. That's why me also looking at having ROM before the banquet. Less leh cheh!

Oh yah.. east ppl very hard to convert one.. ME one of them also.. so end up take north east area at punggol haha..

bugbear me also cannot cook one.. instant noodles are my speciality.. other than that.. fry a fish I must wear until like Achillies in Troy that sorta armour than dare ... think next time our kids going to starve liao
 
hi bugbear, for me i would choose (1) hold banquet on weekends and go for those more affordable hotels(same day for tea ceremony)
 
hi hi...thanks for the opinions...hhehe...
yah lor...think nowadays youngsters hardly can cook...me also instant noodles chef! hahah...throw an egg in or a few crab sticks and wahla...a 'full' meal...heheh
 
Hi Bugbear

I will try to cook if i need not do OT,
THen my Hubby agreed that he will help up with the dishes. keke
I will choose #1.
 
seems like more ppl will choose to have banquet on weekends and do on a more affordable place.
Anyone of you booked a venue already? or targeted a venue? Care to share?

I also feel like wise leh...i don't know how to cook, but no matter how, think home-cooked food is still best..and in the long run, cheaper lor...unless like Elin, they can go back to FIL place to makan everyday...
 
Hello

Anyone of you surf femalebridesonline.com?Think is more user friendly than here but hor...can't post my msgs , don't know why lo
sad.gif
 
me surf there as well but I dont like their forum layout.. a bit too leh cheh..

bugbear you think too early to book a venue? i mean we havent even check out the tong shu
 
me too..i surf FBO as well...but i find the posts there a bit slow leh...sometimes a few days also no reply...tat's why i hopped over here...

hahah...yah...i think still early also lor...but i heard that some geomancy can calculate all the dates for u, without the book...so i dunno if anyone had done that... :D
Me trying to find one of those geomancy lor...
 
oic, didn't know about that cos i can't post.

quite impressd by its collection of info and those cute cute cartoons :P

they even count down your AD for you, if you update your AD date =)

btw, has anyone of you been to grand hyatt garden wedding? Read some bad comments about their coordinators...thinking of whether to go down and take a look...

Bugbear, thanks for sending me the pics =)
 
hey elin, no prob at all...maybe you should go down to take a look...sometimes bad comments doesn't mean anything...might be some mis-communication or wot...anyway, go down take a look...if u like the place...then good...else, u don even need to talk to the coordinators ;p
 
i think geomancer no need tong shu want..

not very sure as well .. otherwise without a date very difficult to get a booking at resturant if you get what I mean..
 
yah lor...really very difficult and the tong shu for 2005 still not out...let alone 2006. I only heard that some does not require as they can calculate based on some thousand year old books or wot...but to be more accrate, they will still revert back to the book when it's out...just to double confirm.

I do have some sites that states if the day is good for wedding or not...but alot of ppl say these sites are jsut general good dates...a lor depends on the 8-character of you and ur FH.

hi kuf
do u need to give the geomancy your 'ba zi' which we r not comfortable to give =( can still chx the dates from him?

Thanks
 
Hi sugar...i understand that from our english birthdate, they are able to know the chinese. I also dunno my ba zi...

Wah...2006 also can check...good good...thanks kuf!
 
hi bugbear, but thought 'ba zi' means the chinese birthdate n birth time. haiz~ cos hubby's malaysian, birth cert. din state the time of birth, his mum oso cant remember so abit diff. lo
 
Hi Elin..

Grand waterfront or orchid or....

Anyhow I am sure those geomancer you want them to calculate in 2008 also can one. Tong shu is for novic geomancer I assume.. heh heh

I guess eighth character rather important.. some people know also wont disclose the time one because they believe it is not good..
 
hhmm...i tot geomancer only need the date of birth...even time also need ar
sad.gif


yah lor...i heard a lor of ppl say ba zi cannot anyhow disclose...

i haven go look for the geomancer yet

Hi ppl,
You got to find a date that is suitable for both
you and your hubby, plus both sides parents.

The real sifu don't use tongshu, they use the Xia
Calender. Tongshu is a guide on which are the
good days and bad days.

The Sifu will require
a) DOB of the couple (include time)
- This is call 8 Zi (4 pillars of destiny)
b) Year of both sides parents are born

If you do not know your time, some masters are
so good that they can calculate it out for you.
 

Hi Sugarbabe,
Some master do not request for parents date. But
those more detailed master will go all length to
ensure that the dates are good for both family and
especially the couple.

My master is from China. You can either write
to him or call him.

Otherwise, occasionally, he will make a trip
down to Singapore.
