(2006) Brides of year 2006

[pebsb]

hey feb brides

long time no hear. been swamped w prep & work is also killing me.

Wanna check with you, when you jing cha at your in-law, are you going to wear your WG, or tea dress? But go back home, must change to tea dress rite?

The thing is that my MIL gave me this gold jewelry that goes with the kua. In order for her to see me wear that, I need to wear my kua. So I tot I can wear my WG to PIL. Change to kua to jing cha to them, and then wear the same kua back home?

Hi crystalz & ms_blur,

welcome

[fi_fi]

Hey Ladies,

any ideas wer can i noe more abt d dif home style from web? any website 2 browse???? Thx....

 

[vinmei]

Hi Pebs,

Yeah.... Busy busy leh. Me too mann!

Hmm... I think u change ur tea dress at ur PIL place before going back to ur parents place. Or u can change to ur tea dress once u reached ur MIL side. I think it depends on individual lor. Tot it is better to wear something light for tea ceremony.

This is what my sis do when they get married lor.

[chaiyo]

Hi xinxin,
Have dropped u a mail on my MUA charges

I tried G cream yday. Got a mosquito bite on my arms so my arms got very serious burning sensation there after using G cream!! hahaha

 

[pebsb]

what is the practice for tea dress? or whatever U like issit?

 

[kanchi_maya]

hi jojo,
u r welcome.
actually i only book htl, finish PS only. for the speech is bcos my cousin had her wedding last oct so do the speech for her.. then at the same time can keep for my turn..haha

hi popie,
is it only chinatown have CS.. if try dun buy will they make noise? not sure can wear or not..

 

[chipdale1910]

Hi Jo,

Thanks for ur email.

I agree with popie. Why not we meet up instead of posting our pics here?

Any suggestions?

 

[sinkor]

Hi Geraldine,

I will pass the cream on our gathering day. Where do you live? If in west side, i can try to pass to you if you want

Hi xinxin & ting,

I apply the cream only once a day...... but for me, i think i can see the results more on the arms as feel more burning sensation... as for the tummy, i really wonder is my tummy skin so thich that dun feel much burning sensation....

 

[wyy]

shelyn,

i think is bcos they don't like red cos they think is traditional....

i personnally dont like red but i have to say you look nice in it cos makes you very bright

Frankly .....i dun like the gown which looks like the 18th century ones....the color and the gown makes you look abit too dull.

 

[marnie]

Adeline, that's exactly what I thought. How could they? It's a no-brainer really. I'm seriously doubting them and retracting my trust in them. I'm playing hardball with them and now shamelessly acting out my lawyer-ly opinions. I don't give a hoot about them at this point.

At the risk of being called a Bridezilla, I think I am entitled to the dress the way I want or me deducting the costs for screw up and emotional stress they are causing me..

Oh re. the videographers. I saw 3 in the past few days. Yang (of Substance Films), Benny of Shiku Pictures and Eyecon. They are all good in their own rights and styles so maybe you want to contact them.

 

[small_one]

i am not the treadmill kinda girl. I prefer running in the outdoors. You put me on treadmill, i cant even last 1km. Cos no motivation. And all i see is the mirrors and walls of the gym. I prefer to people-watch while running.

I bought myself a 1.5kg dumbbell. Only one, so i usually do my weights in the afternoon. If i ever go to the gym, it will have to be for the stomach-exercises.

 

[g8009181]

meet where where??
Is it possible to get ALL the brides here? hee hee

eh... disclose our age 1st leh.. cwhose the oldest...might b mi leh...

[akoyo]

Hi greekgal,
I have budgeted 10k for this honeymoon. Hopefully, it will be sufficient if we don't spend too much on souvenirs.
Song list, i do not have the list with me. It's with my hubbie. I will get him to compile and post it here.
I only managed to find one suitable one in Aussino, but that is prety common and i think most pple are using it... Have been to john little and robinsons already. Nothing catches my eye...Hopefully they will bring in new designs soon..
I just realised you are engaging derrick as your AD as well ! Hehehhe !

 

[email4adel]

[kkwr]

Hi Wendy,

Can help me update the information in the spreadsheet.

Actual VG : Wu Li Zhuang (Zephyrgraphy)
Actual PG : David

Many thanks

 

[marnie]

Adeline, yeah.....I'm a solicitor. So once in a while get to exercise my prowess outside of the court...

My BS is a malay one....Rouz Couture.

The way to do it is to give give contructive points. Not yell. I never yelled at her. Just emailed her to give my very honest views. Constructive ones. Not scold scold scold.

Latest update Girls, the BS just called me. she will amend specifically to the design I gave them. I don't know how they are making it but I told her if not done by Thursday night, I'm not paying anything more until I see everything else.

 

[shelyn]

oh u mean the victorian one?... i dun like that too... it was supposed to be pink and silver... and looks much nicer and last min they change to this. They keep saying it's a new one, no one had worn it b4 etc etc...I insist i wan to wear the old one but i think they dun have liao... so no choice lor. But strangely quite a number of pp say they like mi in that outfit.... so i think it really depends on own preference lah

 

[september]

hi kkwr, wow, ur AD is also 7th Oct...so ur PG is David wat...(can see tat Cat is sweating liao)....heehee

 

[dreymin]

jo,

can aso share with me? the speech? thanks!
[email protected]

hi all,

great idea to meet up, after CNY?
jojo, hey i might be the oldest one, not you!
let me get the ball rolling... moi is 31 tis year

 

[kurera]

which david is your PG kkwr?

 

[rainnqq]

Any Plaza ParkRoyal/Rendevous/Peony Jade brides here?

As purple mentioned, looking through all hotel/restaurants and comparing all their food and perks. So far only managed to shortlist the above. The food they offer seems good...

Looking at Noble House/TungLok too? But they have not given any reply.

How's everyone prep? Tiffany's sale? Which reminds me, got a guy friend who was telling me his gf expect a 5 carat ring for proposal. He's intending to get it at the Diamond Industry or something.. he was saying HE IS SO GRATEFUL that his gf doesn't know about TIffany's... hahaha

 

[popie]

hehe. me is 25 this year. oops. youngest? *blush*

meet ah. where do u all live? east, west, north, south?

jo. i am not sure if chinatown is the onli place that sells CS. most probably not. but i saw quite a number of shops there that sell. i mean... where else but chinatown rite? so i tot can go there n try lor. dun think they will scold lah. at worst go OG or the zhong hwa dept store that is next to pearl center to try first then ask those aunties at the chinatown market to tailor. my gandma jus tailored something for my AD there. haha. quite cheap. less than $100. but must act fast. cos they are closing for renovation soon. by april. so those who wana go there buy the double happiness stuff n the tea ceremony tea set, better go quick.

 

[newbbi79]

suishi,
hehe....duno can get selected anot...sca li cannot..haha

 

[man_tou_bear]

Hey, i haven't checked in for a long long time liao. How have u all been doing? Wendy, how's married life?

Just checking, how many of u went for ur first fitting/ consultation with ur BS liao? heehee.. i m very curious cos some brides in Nov 06 thread have already been to their fitting but not me...

Mr Low did my ROM for me. erm but i won't be getting him for my AD, just simply bcos his style and mine doesn't match. But he is a very nice guy and if u like the slow and romantic stuff then he is ur guy! So right now i m still looking for VG..

CAT u haven't got a PG? hurry up!

 

[fi_fi]

diana; no ler.. din sign any contract wif him lor. just verbal cfm onli. no deposite oso. thk if u taken a package (VG + PG), it mayb cheaper dan sourcing out seperately lor.

cat; thk u've 2 decide fast liao lor... there'r more 7th oct BTB liao.
