Hi Bugbear,

At least u have an option to stay at ur place. both of us are sharing rm with our sibling. So its a No No.

Hi all,

I went to the fulleton show yesterday, the offer is only 5% off the package signed up between 1-7 Aug. Not fantasic actually. But the Suite is nice, its double storey. After the show I'm like hmmm... Ted Wu or Kai? Vex... I think I'll know the answer later... At least I know what I want. Studid HB is not moving his butt on the hotel research. Fed up. I've pushed everyone to come out with the prelim guest list so we know what size of ballroom to look out for, BUT, his parents are not moving their butt to even start writing. Have been given them 1 mth to so do liao. I've been nagging and nagging at HB about his unmoveable butt and his parents. Now there's a possibility that my AD will be 05, den it makes me more gan cheong and push harder for things to get moving. If its 06 I'm still ok with them going at this speed. FED UP!!!! HELP!!!

Actually his parents dun even 1 the dinner thing. I told my HB that I at least I wanna wear the WG for once in my lifetime. How can what also dun have. Whats more he's the eldest male in the family, I'm the eldest gal in my family. Den i think he managed to pass the massage to his mom and what next??? She suggested some restaurant at dunno where, food very nice... I almost fainted. Sometimes i really wonder what she's trying to do or proof. I'm lucky that my HB knows my standard very well and of cors did not go along with his mom's suggestion. So now we'll move ourselves to looking for a hotel, and they (parents/mom) are not eager to come up with the guest list (roughly at least).

We've counted about 31 tables now, outstanding his parents friends & relatives that we dunno. Guess we'll work on 35 tables ballroom right now. If they later come and say they have tonnes of guest then I think I'll say sorry, u're late.

Oh I think I'm nagging too much too early.. = P
Need to let some gas off...
 
Vio vio...cool down...me facing same situation as u as well...i started researhing so long ago...and till now, i still have not got a complete guests list...it's just my estimate...anyway, my FH also have been pushing his mom for the list and nope...got nothing...so end day, he also got quite fedup and told his mom...if u don give me the list...i will only cater 8 tables for u...and if that is not enuf...then it's ur prob...heheh! :p

Don worry..whenever u have any issues...can just post here...i am sure the gals here will be willing to lend a listening ear...and at the same time offer some help...heheh...
 
hi Vio,

dun be upset... think older generation dunno now book banquet must start very very early. becos during their time i think onli need to book few months in advance...unlike us, must book one yr in advance. however, i find it unusual that his parents not kan giong...
relax, try to have fun planning. most of us here are doing most of the research work too. FH usually lazy.
 
i dun think i will dare ask his mum for guest list yet. will ask my FH to estimate for his side first. cos scarlli his mum think i very eager to marry his son...haha...
 
hi vio, just tell ur mother and father in law that banquet need to book earlier as when come to hot date will be fully booked
 
HAhah....yami...even if ur FH ask her...sekali ur FH say u asked for it...heheh...

Vio...Yami is right...FH is usually lazy to do all these stuffs...they are not particular abt stuffs like these lor

he hire this fengshui master to look at the house on sunday and did some leg work and he say 'hmmmm the FS master say hor.. best date for wedding 2006 for both our birthdate is ard 8th-11th lunar month.. maybe we should plan something ard there...'

At least he saying something ald.. so let him go rack his brain over it.... me going to stay quiet over the entire 'procrastinating period' heee.. me being a big meany gfrd =P

Anyway I happen to be at Ikea on Sat and bought quite alot of nick nacks for the house.. The poster frames which is at $12 but dont know what demension.. but is huge lah.. The flowers pots only $1.90/.90 with so many designs! I think bfrd bought some silly stuff and all but it was worth it loh.. and he was so thrilled because got a good price for them..
 
i didnt want the joint account too early cos i seen couples breaking up then got money issues.
but now it's time to start liaoz.... v happy. dunno happy for what....now must save a lot every mth.
 
HAhah...yami...i think same same as u lor...so was really quite surprised to read dubdub say that when they dating, already got joint ac...

Me still on the "my $$ is my $$, his $$ also my $$" saying...ha!

BTW, when it comes to joint ac...do u gals put in equal amounts...or depending on each individual leh?
 
bugbear, at that time, we wanted to open a joint a/c so that we can use that money for rom, wedding and flat. normally we put equal amount, unless one of us got bonus or increment then will contribute more
 
Oorr...i still haven determine how much to put in...FH just pass me his share...then i just put into ac and gain interest...heheh...
 
dubdub...i c...good lah...so now ur joint ac ure very fat!! then can help us gals here fulfill THE dream fairy tale wedding....
 
WOT? wot transport allowance?
So good ar ur FH...

Dubdub...must really let me know if ur FH company looking for ppl leh...so high pay and SO many days leave!
 
haha he contribute twice the amount i contribute....hehe....must keep si fang qian mahz...
happy.gif


during dating, esp the early stages, our money very clearly divided.
 
Wow my last post was so high up in this page liao. It was like just 1 or 2 hr ago only.

Yami, bugbear, Rach,
Ya lor, his mom ask me if we are looking for hotel liao so early ah and i explained to her. Then u know what, just yesterday night his bro ask us, u all are counting ur guests now ah. Wah Biang, i tot old ppl dun underdstand, y young ppl (younger bro) also like that??? *fumed* So HB explained to him. Why they so like that. Dun wan dun wan lah. Just dun count those ppl not in the list yet lor. I told my HB that. I say, I'm trying the run but something is dragging me. Just to illustrate how i am feeling now. At least he understand y i'm reacting like that.

Fullerton Suite is nice, but ballroom is not so lor. Too many columns at the staircase leading to the ballroom, meaning guest sitting at the 2 ends of the ballroom will not be able to see u when u march in. Ceiling is very low. If u have a small no. of guest then u can use the straits room at level 4. Its very nice!! Colonia style, I'm not sure if they'll serve canton meals in that room cos i only saw asian fusion and another fusion sytle menu setup in thay room. I have pics of the room. I think photography is actually not allowed. Din took any photo of TW gowns, MC did warned that cameras are not allowed bef the show. But no one said cannot take photo of the hotel mah.

Toking bout joint acct, *fumed* case also. We've started our acct since i think 2002, but i dun see money inside there. The amt is not what we've projected lor. I can say that the $$ there are mostly mine. He can't afford to put any base on his pay and he keep saying he have to pay for the 'car', & i din help him pay still grumble. Before that he was using the excuse that he was paying for the installment for my Solitaire, so no money to put in joint acct.

Lastly I hope his mom or even my mom will not try to put o-biang things in our new hse next time. Now she(his mom) also keep saying the layout of the hse is not gd lah, main door facing directly to the living windows, money all come in and go out fast. blah blah... Must build something to block the direct flow between the main door and window lah. Gosh! Pls pls pls, get all those rules and regulations out of my hse. The only way to have gd feng shui hse is to buy a WANG land and build to watever nonsense rules n regs u have. ~cool ~cool
 
vio ah!
wahhhh seems like u r really very HOT now!!
cool cooll!!!!!

for fullerton i tot there is a min tables of like 30 for weekdays and 35 for weekends..
can they accept 20 tables? dun tink so rite???

phew! lucky my parents and his parents are not those tat believe in feng shui or watsoever..
so we are still all right.. basically a lot of tings for our house, our wedding is pretty much left to our own discretion.. even our wedding guest lists also...
 
U gals are so lucky... It seems like I'm paying the stuffs. very low morale...

Bugbear, wow ur FH can contributed double ar. so gd

Dub, wah ur FH give u allowance ah. Mine only pay for food when we go out. no mhtly allowance. Sometimes he grumble about paying so i pay sometimes. WHY!!!
 


Rach,

Now fullerton tatic is something like GWC liao. Wkday, min 30 table, fri & Sun min 35 and Sat min 40! The max. 10 table that i was talking about is the straits room not the ballroom. Gimme ur email.
