so can i check with u how is ur AD car?
Thanks alot...

Diana>

[crystalz]

dwarfs,

i didn't get the car decoration from them so that i can exchange for more photos. My AD car will be settled by my MIL as she has an old neighbour who can provide the car and the ribbons etc. Think gotta pay 300 for the vehicle, driver and the ribbons. My AD MUA also get from sg. Cost me $620.

Hi Gals..

This was a very busy weekend for me... feeling very happy.. my sis-in-law has given birth to a very adorable baby boy! Whole family is rejoicing!!

No chance to go Orchard to check out the stores with mum.

Had my 1st fitting today. The MTM WG was so totally off from my idea. All that was in my head was "On my goodness!".... and i nearly wanted to burst out crying... my BS used lace instead of embroidery. Hais.. all i could say that there was a huge miscommunication!

Then i tried on my EG and found that it was not that appealing anymore. Hais... but the lucky thing is that my option remains open.

Managed to shortlist the outdoor WG and EG. At least for my part, almost all set. Except the MTM WG, which i am going to have another fitting in Aug.

Come back to think, i really feel that i should not be so hasty while making my decision in choosing BS and hotel. But then, i have come so far. Nothing more I can do except make the best out of everything.

 

[apple68]

Now i really have to start looking for wedding shoes seriously. Likely to get two pairs. O'ne slinky diamond studded heels for EG and another silver heels for WG. I dont see a lot of 3.5 inches heels around though....

 

[yuki31]

princess , clouds - went to to MS Showroom today to c the mattress ....shortlisted Perfect Sleeper, Arizona and Alabam ....any opionion on it? wanted to try on Night Star or Perfect Dream but dun they have it there ......was told tat Night Star only at Taka ...

clouds - u got Arizona rite?

 

[yuki31]

apple68 - sorry to hear abt ur WG ... so will the BS be making changes to the WG for u? hope that everything turn out well for u ......at least ur EG option still open so u can change it to something better? wat is ur BS n hotel?

pandalic - can check with u , the other time u went hokkaido with which agency? izzit hokkaido normally only 1 package?

 

[clouds_54]

Apple68 - sorry to hear abt your MTM WG. Try to communicate with your designer. Am sure they hv to do something abt it. They shld know it's never to their benefits if their customers' needs are not met. No more business referrals from you to them in future. Which hotel are you with?

 

[phy_o]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally the wedding is over! Now I join u all the MRS clan!

Hey Starris, I was so so so tired, slept till 5am. My mum woke me up and my makeup artist even gave me morning call. So funny.

Morning was all right. Very tired and sleepy. Don't think I looked good. Dinner was fabulous. Very happy.

Will post the photos up very soon for all to see!

 

[clouds_54]

Yuki - yes, I placed an order for Arizona. We prefer a harder mattress. Me and FH grew up sleeping on hard spring mattress. Haha. But it depends on what kind of feel you like to hv

.

 

[joyousonline]

hehe finally the wedding is over too!!!
yippee....i was tired but could not sleep till 12.10am...then woke up at 4 plus ar..hahaaaaa
so relieved! i was so nervous at the march in that i could feel my cheeks struggling to smile! haha

 

[jklim4642]

apple68, u did not see alot of 3.5" shoes around? hm.. i saw alot leh... in fact i just bought one today.. a golden blinking pair to match my CS. still need to get a black blinking pair for my EG & another off-white one for my WG. i went shopping today with my parents. bought 2 shirts for my father also...

 

[yuki31]

clouds - my FH feel that Perfect Sleeper is harder leh ....wat u think? we oso do not wan too soft kind ....haha

 

[clouds_54]

Hi Apple68 - just dropped you a note on shoes

Yuki - Yes, Perfect Sleeper is harder. My coll bought that

. So you hv to discuss with hubby if you all prefer hard or soft feel. Can't recall alabama though.

 

[nitestar]

Jen,

Dun worry, u'll b very gorgeous... n too busy smiling to notice other pple gawkin at u... hehe...

Impulse,
I'm going Botanic gardens, maybe somewhere in Tanah Merah, maybe blair road, mayb cantebury road.. mayb railway track... and Raffles Hotel... hehe... Changi Broadway is not too bad... but must b prepared for mosquitoes... i accompanied my fren for her AD shoot... n we all got bitten... hehe.. but overall very very nice..

 

[vvn]

huey, thanks for the PS list. although i took my PS, but wished i had seen it! coz when we went to take outdoor PS, i totally forgot to bring my bra lor! so in the end couldn't wear casual clothes.

Steve, i dunno abt the si dian jin leh. i cantonese so the only must is the drangon-phoneix bangle. but i did receive other jewerlly as gifts as well. i think market price of si dian jin really depends on the families, right? may be u check with those jewellery shops that sell the sets and ask them what's the range they have and u adjust from there?

 

[babygera]

wow i think all of our june's brides have already gone thru the AD

free and happy now !!!

 

[compassrose]

Hi cute koala,

I have a close friend in HK is also getting married on 7 oct as well. Her's is ROM and AD together. She was telling me that it's also a hot date in HK. ha ha..

Do u guys have alot of common friends? Might as well do it together. Cuz the guests still need to give different ang paos. In that case, u guys confirmed earn money for dinner.

Just kidding... Have a good week ahead.

Cheers,

 

[angeldust]

GD mrg all,

I had a busy weekend. Elder sister got married and I was busy.. sunday was accompanying my PIL.. so haiz.. now runny nose.. my mum also fell sick..aiyo..

Panda - really??? I can see look.. cos I doubt they have sizes for my TINY FEET. remember?? worse come to worse hor.. i wear the clogs u buy for me la.. HA HA HA HA HA... but jimmy choo.. droollss.. together with stuart weitzman... ke ke ke ke...

Li Ann - yeps went for my first appt last tues. With the "BODY EVALUATION" (as i like to call it) I have better understanding of what cuts suits me and what does not suit me and which styles which I do not particularly like. Also, michelle huimin assesed my skin tone and told me I look better in pastels for EG than strong colours like bright reds and yellows. SO it was overall a good experience and I can safely say that now I know what colours i should wear on a regular basis.

Apple - oh dear? hope ur BS can help u..

Fluv talk - justin is no doubt talented.. but if u have a theme colour in mind.. i hope he does answer to that min requirement at least. but i guess if u have no idea and u wanna leave the designs to him.. rest assured he can come up with something creative.. hubby said.. perhaps justin thinks of himself as an artist more than a florist.. so be more positive i guess..

 

[september]

steve, as me also dun wan my MIL or hubby family to spend much, the si dian zhuang we bought is abt 2.3k wif pendant, chain, earrings and braclet...and i told my MIL tat she dun nid to buy another thing for me during tea ceremony, but juz keep the si dian zhuang and gif me during the tea ceremony can liao lor...hee hee

..hehee

Sian ar...last weekend my family came to my house and right now we are having a difference in opinion in where one of our statue idols - kuan gong (god of warrior) in the house. All the while he is sitting near a side table, however this is a temporary plan as we are still scouting around the table to place him at the front of the door. So when finally we found the table and shift it facing main door...both families got so many things to say about it now....haiz...sian think my house too nice liao...everyone just want to have a say in it. But anyone who has knowledge about this - can share view, guan gong is normally sit at study desk or facing front door one right? thanks thanks

 

[jan193]

my PS oso coming.. nxt tues.. lookin fwd to it hee

me plannin to go changi broadwalk oso!! mitin my photographer on wed to discuss.. got mosquitoes ah.. hmm.. then better spray sme insect repellent b4 heading there

 

[pony_pang]

Hi All,
I think for si dian jin you can either chose from the sets they (Shop) have from their range or mix and match on your own according to my preference. My mum got me a set as dowry since she is a teochew. But required a set of dragon/phoneix bangle from my in-laws since my dad is a cantonese.

 

[stevy]

Hi Diana,

You are so lucky to get two sets of jewellery. We plan to buy gold jewellery cos white gold has no resale value.

Have you bought your AN CHUAN mattress? We found a very nice and cute mattress in KALM. Though it is not cheap...

 

[angeldust]

jingles - i have only one advice.. ask the geomancer and then reply all parties.. the geomancer is ur yardstick. HA HA HA HA HA that's what i did..

ribbons - do what the romans do when in rome lor.. HA HA HA HA HA.. somehow this experience was an eye opener.. but of cos have towel lah.. tho in the buff

daman - i oso dunno.. was tellin hubby maybe we din get it.. cos i read newspaper.. the poor botak NS men sitting at the desks in a room have started punching tel numbers to those who got the tix. ke ke ke ke ke *winks*..

 

[september]

kalm got sell mattress? me bought my mattress liao...the brand is oasis....tink we bought it at 800 ba....

 

[wallflower]

yuki ~ heard of simmons & serta, and 1 more sealy... the 3 branded "S" matresses

they r rather expensive rite? their prices start from 2k at least for queen size?

ribbons ~ my figure no gd lah. got slight curves but no front cleavage lor... haiz... dare to go in birthday suit bcoz me thick skin...

 

[september]

o...steve, the one gifen by my mum is consider as jia zhuang mah....hahaha

 

[vaax]

Hi,

Ok, so many topics!!

Mattress talk-
Me and my HTB went to Furniture Mall 2 weeks ago and bought a Sealy queen sized mattress for about $1k. My HTB said super good deal for Sealy, I also dunno lah Haha.. Apparently he was saying the other good brand is Simmons.

Renovations talk-
1st coat of paint done up, my house is super colourful!! Living room is champagne and yellow, dining is red, my love room is green, study is blue and his mom's room is purple!! Like a rainbow.. Haha but I like

Hey Daman, put ur link up! Thanks

Shoes-
I was going to borrow my colleagues shoes to kinda go with the something new, something old, something borrowed something blue thing lah, but her shoe size is smaller than mine *sigh* Yeah, so would need to shop also, maybe will go to BBK to source. Was it you panda whom recommended the rainbow.uk shop in Siam Paragon? Will go check that out

Fluv and Divine-
I sure hope Justin would be nice to me *fingers-crossed* Hey panda, you know Jessica from Divine was very flexible with me. She let me use make-up session to sub with my HTB's tailored shirt and EG to CS. But I never try the use of flowers, maybe it's Justin that's not so flexible not Divine?

 

[vaax]

Alamak, so sian.... I was suppose to go down to Divine today to finalise the design of my CS and teadress but my level head put in for invigilation duties till 7pm and must count and sort exam scripts

Grrrrrrrrrrr......

 

[yuki31]

OL - yap the 3 S ....haha my FH like Sealy too ...but he choose the one tat cost 10K ...haha we are still shopping ard hope to settle mattress by next mth if possible...keke i cant remember simmons n sealy price ....serta those tat i choose for queen size is abt 2399 - 2999 but i think it include bedframe.

ribbons - thanks i go check it out

jingles & Da Man - mine oso same case. If i chg MTM to OTR oso no freebie coz they say tat they give me MTM but if i dun wan then it is my choice.

Da Man - icic so when u plan to start to learn driving? for me, my FH feel tat if a guy in the car then he shld drive so i seldom get to drive with him ..haha yes i think u r not dreaming ..a few of them told me there is a chapel ..haha. nope all brand got different model ...but we went to c Serta the laz time so i asking their opinions on it ....keke

 

[yuki31]

vanessa - wow 1K for Sealy is good buy ...but most important is the mattress is comfortable for both of you coz u be sleeping on it ...keke then u cant go Divine? can tell ur level head to change someone else coz u got appt? keke
