(2006) Brides of year 2006

[iceglacier]

I think it's a crap excuse that trial makeup doesn't include hairdo! How else can you see the total look??!!! This is madness! They are really our to con people!

heh.. tansy, next time got outing must show me pic of your 'long' hair!

 

[wtan]

hi hi JY..
i agree with wat u said..unless when they sign up for the package, then b4 the co-ordinator can assign the MUA to the couple, she informed the couple 1st..coz it's so funny lor..might as well tell the bride to provide her own set of make-up kit..

 

[white_summer]

Hi Geraldine
The ginseng tea (Bao Sheng or yang sheng) is for you to freshen up and dun feel tired for the day... cos i w0ke up at 4.30am and gotta stay up till 2am the next day. Me feel more alert after drinking...this is taught by my PG...cos he had seen alot of brides so tired during the tea-ceremony...

 

[xiaobai1]

Yeap I also find it funny, I better check with my makeup artist again. Wait she told me I curl my hair during dinner time, need more money then die liao. Think I will pay her a visit next 2 weeks when I go to see my image designing for my album, and ask her on the spot and at the same time to check the accessories that I will be wearing on the actual day. My hair accessories is provided by my makeup artist. It should be ok. But my necklace and earring are provided by the bridal shop not the makeup artist and I have not see it yet.

Wait they provide some lousy accessories for me, then I will faint on the actual day liao ha ha

Take Care

Regards
Xiaobai1

[jmonster]

hi gals & all Mrs.

great to knw some of u had fun on the banquet!

gera,
think i dont need genseng tea. i need KOPI instead... lolz.. wonder if i can sleep early b4 the AD. i m a late nite person.. die liao

btw, gals. FYI, i hv nt gotten my album.. damn late right? my mum even asked me if the BS sent the CD to Germany to develop photos. if not how come so late still hv not get it...

well. gotta tell the story again.. haha. hv been told many pple to vent my anger ;P

i hv 2 dinners as mentioned b4. JB's dinner on 17 june & SG's on 24 june. however, still no news of my album.

so my hb called to chk yesterday. the BS said 'dunno leh. the photographer hv nt informed me. i will call u once i called the photographer'

then my hb asked if the CD ready.And he said 'ready already. when u want to collect?'
OMG! they even need us to chk. same for the selection of photos ie need us to call.

then i called again this morning. Same Qn was asked. he said 'errmm, the photographer hv nt called me leh. he said he will chk. btw, the photographer very busy & not only help my BS, he also help others to take photos'

(p/s: well, does he think i care if the photographer's helping one BS or thousands of BS?)

well i told him, i got dinner on 17 june. then the BS pushed all the blame to me that i din tell them i need to album on 17th & i only told him i need the gowns earlier. so he told the photographer to deliver on 20th. OMG!!!!!!

well, it's understood that the guests will want to see the album right????

i could not vent my anger to him as my dear hb afraid that they will do something to my gown & also wont refund him the deposit... ARRRGggghh...

even if I only have ONE dinner, could not be just give me the album on 20th right????

Not going back after tea ceremony at bride's place cos going straight for check in at the hotel.

At the moment, we are going to make his speech long. Long speech is not going to take up lots of time lah.. max can talk is 3 mins.. haha

We intending to sing a duet on our way into for the 2nd march in.. let's hope the plan works.. hee

Still have not selected all the songs for the dinner yet.. troublesome hor?

[jklim4642]

pandalic, i nv say u dumb lah. dun be so sensitive can or not?

in my last biz trip to Paris &amp; Hamsburg, i got online using the tv in my hotel room.. it not only allows me to watch shows but also allows me to connect to internet via its cable modem. and the rate is standard fixed rate a day... i assume ur hotel room has that when i made my earlier comment lah. hehehe

 

[happi]

Hi Jas,
The people from Leaping Lizard are very nice. They will teach you a few ways of wearing the shoes by providing u ribbons &amp; strips. Mine cost $130... which I find it abit expensive NOW. hee hee.... You can pop by at their shop,look around. It's GSS now.. maybe u can get good buys as you shop around.
I nvr hear abt Y.S.L catering. There is another Fu Kwee which my mom recommend. I am stil considering on the buffet caterer too.

 

[honeyc]

Hi XiaoBai,
don't worry so much abt shoe hurting ur ankles, jus use candle to rub on the edges of the shoes so it won't cos so much friction when u put on. (i used to bite my shoes before it bite me, heehee... i meant literally BITE! so stupid, rite?!)

Regarding the charging of curling hair, i oso got charged by my BS for my bridal shoot. They charged us additional for so-called setting of hair for me, ampoule x 3 bottles for my face, FH's face n my upper shoulders area. I din know anything abt whether we should be charged for the hair setting so jus pay lor.

Hi designfreak,
Zara has got some very nice double-cuff white shirt n my FH bot one. He wore it for our photoshoot. We like the cutting cos it looks very designer style n with the back tapered cut makes one look slim. Even their pants oso got nice cutting n material. Check it out man! good luck...

Regarding the food tasting, I'm gonna do mine this coming tuesday at my appointed hotel. For those brides who sign up with them, I can share wif u the quality of the dishes if you are keen.

So, anyone care to meet up?

 

[ilovesashimi]

Hi all,

Its been so long since I last log in.. so busy busy busy. AD coming soon.. 24th June.. and I am still so stressed over all these.

Thanks for the advice on Guo Da Li. Actually my parents are very chin chai so we just do a very simple one. Last qn on GDL, I am doing it 2 weeks before actual day, is this ok?

Wonder if anyone can share
1) Bride speech?
2) I intend to use Bridal Chorus for my first march in but because my first march in includes cake cutting.. do u think I should change to another song for cake cutting since the song is so slow? If so, then any suggestion what song to use for cake cutting?

Thanks.

 

[phy_o]

Hi ilovesashimi,

I think 2 weeks is all right. My Guo Da Li is also 2 weeks before wedding.

As for yout marcdh-in song, I'm not very familiar. So sorry can't comment.

 

[phy_o]

Hi Asura,

I'm glad we won't bump into each other. I let my FH settle all the wedding songs. So I'm not handling the songs. Only need to listen and give commens. So that saves me a great deal of headache.

Today we took leave to move house. My study room furniture and sofa all coming in. Bed suppose to come today but divan got no stock. Haha ... If not all my furniture settle on one day. Now left my caterer not confirmed. Sigh ... are caterers like that? You must call and chase them type?

 

[lambzzz]

Clouds - oh goodie goodie, when's ur PS with Utopia?

Elven - ya....tink i must log in more often....m really lost boy! ha! anyway, here r my details:

AD -- 23 Dec
Dinner Venue -- Grand Hyatt
Solemnisation -- Grand Hyatt
BS -- Tan Yoong + ??? (still dunno who i going to for my CheongSam...)
PS Photo -- Utopia

(paiseh i dunno how to change colors)

AngelDust - i hv to click on ur details to find out who u r boy...ur "Yahoo Instant Messanger" reveals....so now i know!

 

[sandsand]

bendi, i recently ask my coordinator for the latest package for my friend... let me find it and i will send to u... mine's at Furama Riverfront.

alternatively, if u go to the main page of singaporebrides, u will be able to find some adverts about hotels and can download their pacakages from there too...

 

[asura]

Hi Phy O,

Now we got to cross our fingers that we are the only 2 brides in the blk!
Dont like the songs my FH selected.. haha.. so i got to do it myself. Should have selected myself right from start so that I save myself from last min headache.. haha

Caterer not confirmed? Dont understand... thought just need to pay deposit and they would come on that day?

I need to remember to book my car rental for my honeymoon and the caterer for that day today! Ask you arh.. if your estimated crowd is 45, how many would you cater for?

 

[xfiles_wolvie]

OL-oic...sent to ur hotmail account tat u posted earlier...or u wan me to send to ur opic account? ur prev mail is ur opic account? maybe u check ur hotmail bulk mail? does hotmail have bulk mail? hehe nvr use hotmail...

agree with ribbons, walking culture nt bad. can go see...my da wife dun see anything she like leh...or isit i dun like..hahaha

stefy-ok...emailed u.

 

[xfiles_wolvie]

OL-i resent to ur hotmail account liao. if still cant rcvd then u try to ON ur pm or i sent to ur opic account. u can PM me ur opic account.

 

[pony_pang]

Hi Xiaobai,
Why not go &amp; do a spa perm/ japanese perm on your hair first. According to my hairdesser it will be more natural &amp; easiler for the makeup artist to style or bundle up you hair.

By the way you are your hubby got fu qi xiang leh. Nice gown thumbs up &amp; you are so slim.

 

[phy_o]

Hi Asura!

Caterer just called me. Haha ... think there was some miscommunication. So he called to apologize. Now he's confirmed.

If thre's 45 pple, usually we cater 75% of the people. So that's about 34 people.

Better book all those early. If not like me, stress like anything now.

 

[smurfying]

Goodness, Honey chia, u paid for ampoule for ur shoulder too ar?? tsk tsk tsk...which BS is tat?

I'm thinking of japanese perm for quite sometime, hoping to do soon...as for meet up, DIANA, where u?? hehehe...

 

[babygera]

Asura, i think u can cater for 30-35 ppl cos they will normally give you a 10% buffer of food and normally ppl dun each that much lar

 

[wallflower]

panda ~ reason for not getting JP = pure laziness haha... getting a JP to solumnise us will be the last resort, when we cant get the slot at registry office

da man ~ replied ur email... check check!

 

[babygera]

Phy, have u settled your flowergal basket? i went to albert park OG yesterday and bought the flowergal basket liaoz...its onli $11+ each and very nicely done

if you wanna go its on the 3rd floor children's dept where they sell alot of flowergal clothings

 

[kurera]

sweet car! how come trial NOT include hairdo!

cannot be...what was written on contract? you should ask for it man..besides after all gown done you should have full make up and 2 hairdo to see which one you keen for PS and AD!

Wah..how can cheat off hairdo!

And honey why the hell you need ampoule for your shoulders? ummmm...

TANSY....you hair so long ar? I think my STOP GROWING! I didnt cut but it's just that length!

 

[smurfying]

CAT, my BS doesn't provide any trial makeup lo.

But fortunately i'm ez going n dun hav specific look i wan...

Eh my hair can tie a pony tail le leh hahahahaha!!

 

[iceglacier]

I think i would not be able to take it if my trial make-up got no hairdo.. What if they give me ugly hair for PS!!!!

I strongly think they should not be charging!!!!

 

[kurera]

YES...how do bride knew what sort or what kind of hairdo to choose on the AD?

Imagine :

1. Big hair day in a petite body

2. ah lian hairdo anot ?

3. suitable hairdo for WG or EG?

4. look old when bun up or let down better?

How the hell one knows if no hairdo? Imagine you wearing your gown with full make up and you having own daily hairstyle...can u imagine?????

gosh!

Wah lau..this is like real time..you give me what hairdo I have to take ar?

What nonsense?

TANSY..you should intro me as cousin and I show my black face and make hell lot of noise for you...
