magical,
That's really tough to have to supervise the reno at the same time!
I didn't have additional ribbons, maybe that's why it was easy to twist. Just have to twist the bunch of flowers together, then twist them around the ribbon very close to the base of the middle flower and cut the wires where they ended just under the middle flower. Next, adjust the flowers so that they hide the wires underneath. I think you're the lihai one, cos I gave up trying to sew, that's why came up with this method! I've sewn one corsage and the flowers just don't 'glue' together. Sewing 1 flower took me like 10mins, but twisting wires take like 2mins!
So glad to have settled the wrist corsages and ap box!
gerbera,
^5 there! What I did was end the wires just beneath the middle flower, so they don't poke the hand of the wearer.
Btw, you still going to Europe? Long time never hear updates from you..

Hi Ivy & Shermaine, also didn't get 2 meet u gals too.
Thanks Pat for sharing the Chinese bride fetching process.
Not sure you gals can help with some of these questions :
a) If my hse not ready, then does it mean that my hubby has to bring the roast pig & pants back to his home? Do we light the lamps at the bride's place then?
b) Hubby Eurasian, so do we also have the tea ceremony at his hse?
c) If I hav 2 rush back to my mum's hse before 12nn for our bride's side tea ceremony, the buffet will hav 2b served at hubby's parents hse as brunch? who pays for the buffet?
d) Who goes back to bride's mum's hse? The whole bridal party of friends, the groom's family or only the relatives?

hi joyous & gera,
my PS was fun..we ist went to somewhere near fullerton where u can see fullerton hotel and the bridge there, then we went to the lallang site and take photos by the sea with the sails behind us..then we went to this site near the lallang site where there are lotsa leafless tree..then the sky turned dark so we forgo the shoot at changi beach kelong there.. we decide to go back to BS to change and see if the weather turns good again..as we were driving back to BS we realised that the west area wasnt raining and the sky was quite clear so we decided to go sentosa for the shoot..
we reached sentosa and started taking pics by the sea. then it started raining..so we went to change to our casual wear & went for dinner at sakae sushi & PG decided to take some photos of us eating sushi..after dinner, rain stopped and we managed to take some photos by the sea with the sun setting..afterwhich, we went back to BS to change into evening gown & prepare for night shoots at the shophouses near the BS..after that, we call it a day..

aiyah i've been sms-ing marnie since friday. no reply!
hazel: ABs i was also a bit confused so i bao already then i passed to my parents, so they gave. two birds with one stone!
but what i understand is that sometimes both side parents give. like when come to pick the bride, the bride's parents give, then when go to groom's house, groom's parents also give. no hard and fast rule i think, just for 'yi si' only
we put aside $1,000 for ABs. then i became giam siap, and cut it down to $800. then i realised some helpers were really helpful so i became guilty and bought bracelets for all the jie-meis (fako tiffany kind, got heart charm all!) engraved with their initials, and ties for the xiong dis. in the end come up to more than what i 'saved' from ABs :S

Hi hi
Gosh, haven't logged on for days and so much happenings here... heeee
Busy with my house reno and checking out prices for furniture and appliances (checking out how the different washing machines/dryers work, how many kgs for the fridge, etc) over the weekend. Beginning to feel like a housewife / "ah soh" already... wahahaha ....
Pandalic - Sorry, didn't catch your email until today. Seems like you hv a good experience at The Link *wink*.. Oh... you mean they will only import for you if you buy 3 EGs from them? :0 ...wow..... hmm.... what's the pricing like?
Wah, good to hv such a generous fren *wink wink*.... heee..... wish we had one too! haha...... Glad you find Moments of Us not bad. Who did you meet up with? Terence? Different pple have different preference. So look around for more VGs before you decide. Most imptly, you and your FH must like the works of the VG you choose eventually
Hanko - i hv got a fren who took portrait style and about 25-28 photos. She did not top up a single photo in the end. She told me she only chose the best shots. So it really depends if you are a die-hard fan of your own photos? heee.... if not, it can be sufficient already.

Hazel: I had moved some stuff that I seldom use like stationery, sch year books, sec sch report books, 10 over pairs of shoes I seldom wear... etc. CLothes, bags and shoes that I use often, I haven't moved there yet. Maybe this Thursday. Cos got to go down to put 2 bowls of rice in the new place.
pinkbunny: Ya lar! As I was reading, I was thinking the bracelets and ties would surely add up to more than $200.

Hi Magical,
Actually I would think it may not be good to start your reno now as you will need a lot of time to go down and supervise. As your AD is coming, it'll get tougher and tougher. When is your honeymoon? If you're away for a week or so, you'll be leaving the house at the mercy of your contractor/designer. It's better to check the house at least every alternate days. There was once we realised they painted one of the rooms in a totally different colour, thus delayed our reno further. We also caught them a few times leaving the lights on after they left, and leaving the main door unlocked as well.
This is unless the reno is not major and you really want to live in your own house after AD. Mine was a minor reno and it dragged for THREE MONTHS when she initially promised THREE WEEKS.
Tissuebox,
It's really a matter of Chinese superstitions. Most elderlys cannot accept black color on an auspicious day.

I am juggling renovation with wedding stuff now.. Really quite an effort. I reckon it be better for you to do after wedding. We are not too stressed out yet because we personally know the contractor and he's rather automatic to the extend to help us check delivery and inspect goods. However you still need to push him slightly at times of course. I cannot imagine if it was a total stranger..
Talk about black dress.. my dad asked me to wear a black CS with flower motifs for tea dress =I... got to depend on individual parents. Tissuebox.. another way is to go ahead and do whatever.. we cant please everyone!
Girls.. I bought the gold piece.. or rather diamond stuff.. Hubby got asked by another couple friend on friday if we settled the gold stuff.. So happened that they asked what gold we getting for GDL, hubby a bit dont know how to react because as mentioned he thought i cooked up the gold issue!! In the end he mentioned something that his mum and dad will buy. Well.. I am so glad not because of the gold more so that he's finally convinced that I wasnt out to con the gold. I'm easily satisfied..anyway as long as my name is cleared.. I'm a happy camper!
For the in law tea gift, I broke the budget.. anyway paying them back in cash *abt 500*. Although mum told me to choose something cheaper for their gift and she pay for the alternate piece I reckon I wont ever wear them so much. So told my mum to save her cash.
Phew another thing off my list!
Nest up is the jie mei stuff.. gawk.. As it is.. to gather everyone is killing me.. anyone have this problem?

<font color="0077aa">clouds, yah.. unless you can find from the existing stock they have, you gotta order 3 pcs before they import.. pricing is pretty affordable, average 800 - 1k..
yah, we are quite blessed.. guess its a common practice for overseas frens to be more generous.. kekek.. but i guess it pays to be generous at times.. wahahhah
i met up with terence from MOU...
we are still looking around.. so will decide later lar.. </font>

hi ham&cheese,
i think it would be pretty hard to get a maybach over here not to mention renting one. i am planning to rent a vintage car in the event i can't borrow one from my client. but i am still open to renting a normal luxury car also. seeking the best deal.

Hi Diana,
I'm looking around for wedding shoes too. i went to Isetan, Metro and those shops in Taka, but i didn't see any that's pretty, suit my gown and within my budget. May i know where is Allure charix as you'd mentioned?
