Hi Gintonic, agree that have to take care of arms but arms hardest to tone and my problem area is tummy, also difficult to tone. I think you should not aim to slim down cos your weight is alright. Perhaps just to tone down.
My sister has this soup recipe you are suppose to take for a week and plus she got personal trainer for gym, she lost 5kg in 2 months.

sorry, dun mean to make all of you stress. Just getting jittery. My budget is currently at about $25k. And hb is thinking about changing of BS to Santiago. Cos he heard that my cousinis package (who used Santiago) was cheaper than ours. So, he is still contemplating.
But Pet, he is not uptight about the wedding yet. He is only uptight about the $$$. Typical of him. I do research, he say I start too early. Hmph, if I dun start early no wedding liao lor...

Hi chomecc,
Well, its because my hubby has been the one allising with chris ling, so i dunn really keep track of that. I must say that my hubby has been working hard to do research for all the wedding stuff and the house renovation. I am the slacker because i am mostly busy with my work and part-time studies. So he don't wish to stress me and helps to lighten my burden by proactively doing research on the net. He is also the one that recommends this website to me.
Hi Ivy,
I do have some experience with Santigo before. They are quite pushy to sell their package. I feel that as a consumer, we have every right to shop,browse and consider before making any purchase. So pls be careful of not to sign the dotted line and place a deposit without much consideration. Personally, I feel that sometime a few hundred dollars difference do make a BIG difference when it comes to SERVICE. Maybe u can also consider researching at the marketplace of this forum on the thread where some brides are selling off their signed package. That's my 2 cents worth of thoughts.

Hi All

Keke
Apple dun worry before i get my flat i actually tried abt 5 BTO and in the end i chose the one that was the 1st BTO....abd it take 2009 to build..
Although i wanted a flat much after AD but since i can't meet it so just leave aside lor also can save money to renovate it later.haha..
Its good to start slowly rather in a rush.
HI Kiko
II only been to their garden ball room so not able to comment....
As for whether to select BS from sg or JB ? I can see the other gals has mostly give u thier comment. dun wory we will hre to advice...Cos i wanted to save money to go JB also for BS but hor 1st thing we don't have a car and we not familar with JB and thinking that we need to go JB so many times deter us for slecting the BS therre. At least when my hubby not free i can go down to the BS myslef first or ask your frenz to tag along but if JB my hubby surely will not allow me to go there on my own. Also if i need to clarify anything with the BS, I can pick my call anytime or go down there not worrying about when i can find time to go down. I hope this help you. Most immpotrant see what u like.

Hi shelyn,
hmmm... i dun recall taking alot of pic on my own... have some lor but usually our photgrapher take pic of my FH and me together... H/w, generally my solo pic are more than my FH's solo pic. Like your photographer , my photographer will tell my FH that he is not the main cast in the PS... just a 'pei4 jiao3'
But I guess the guys dun really mind lor.. usually they cannot be bothered with the pic oso
dun worry too much. I am sure your pic will turn out very nice... must trust your MUA and your photographer

hi silentelf
welcome!
Hi tulipz
I have been very happy with GHA until they changed my designer, without informing me. I had to find out from the GHA thread here. My coordinator only confirmed the issue, when I asked her personally at a wedding fair.
The more recent incident just happened 2 days back. I have made an appointment last week to go to the BS - mainly to try and see if I can wiggle more perks out of them, as well as to see if the new designer's gowns are suitable for me.
My coordinator called up on Wednesday, asking if I can change my appointment to another date. She said that the designer had to leave on Sat for an event until next week.
If they have this kind of habit of making last minute arrangements, it will be very bad for the wedding. Cos supposing they found out that the material for MTM gown is insufficient, and just keep mum until one week before your fitting. Then ask you to re-schedule. It is really very jialat lor.

hi apple,
the gowns at Ritz are mostly organza gowns. more to the dreamy/princessy type... does that fit ur bill?
Elaine's a really nice and accomodating lady, so perhaps you can try on a few of their gowns to see if it fits ur expectations.

<font color="0077aa">apple, i am from divine and have not gone to ritz.. so cannot compare..
let me explained to you my situation lar.. i am like you.. i like classic gowns (minimal frill and full duchess satin) which are more elegant and i hate frills and girly stuff.. but i ended up with divine who is well known for frilly and dreamy gowns.. hahhaha
reason was that i can click with helan (the designer) and she knows exactly wat i want and she is confident abt delivering as well.. and she was happy to have a bride who is not asking for frills.. keke..
and then, having gone to so many BS, i find the the divine's cutting somehow fits me better.. they have classic gowns in divine as well but not many.. when i tried on one of them, my bf was 'wow' so i knoe that is the BS...
back to bridal veil, michelle's signature style is definitely classic... so you can really assure of getting wat you want.. if you like classic gowns, i would suggest you to go to bridal veil first... their cut and fabric is good leh.. the gown on its own can literally glow..keke, actually i may have gone for bridal veil if my bf had not signed up the divine package.. kekekeke
finally, since i am with divine, i reco divine over ritz.. keke.. actually if you like, i can visit divine with you..
in your BS search, you must click with the designer and be confident that he/she can meet your needs.. also hor, the cutting is very impt.. altho the gowns you try is not your size, you can know the cut.. in my case, some BS gowns cut is not flattering for me.. hope my 2cents helps you.. =)</font>

<font color="0000ff">hi apple68, if you're looking for simple and classic, then you'll probably like Bridal Veil. You should go there but make appointment first. Good luck, hope you get a better experience than I did. Yeah, ritz couture is the princessy type of gown, just like divine so maybe won't fit your 'simple' style of choice. But i think you should still go cos i changed my mind once i saw ted's designs
Hi kitkioko, i've seen the corpthorne ballrooms before. Find the large ballroom the nicest but i think you should go down and take a look. What we like may not be what you like and vice versa

Hi Bliss,
You are the same bliss with the really pretty tulip bouquet for your ROM right?
Can you recommend your florist to me? Unsure if i should trust my BS to replica your bouquet or if i should just use the same florist as you and pay a little extra. Btw, how much did you pay for your bouquet?
Lissa

Wahh....sooo expensive to print?!
Thankfully, I'm printing our invites and programs. Nothing fancy. For the invites, just 3 heavy cardstocks with 2 lighter cardstocks. Belly band all around the cards. Simple and ready to go. The style is more Americana than Asian..but I like the simplicity of it.
Have not started on the programs but essentially it will be heavy cardstock (as the cover) with normal copier paper for the pages; folded into a book. Making eyelets and thread ribbons through it. Cheap cheap!
