(2006) Brides of year 2006

Tingting - yes as Dec is a popular for family to go on tour we had already inform relatives that our wedding is on Dec and to reserve date for us. As for friends, had already reserved their date long long time ago since June...super KS of me right...hehehe

As for last 2 weeks, maybe will be going for spa to relax as well as double confirming the nitty gritty things last 2/3 days before my wedding (will be on leave as well to tie things up)...guess as the date draw closer - will have to loosen up lor...if not pimples will pop up kekeke
 


Thanks Maez, will go down to buy the sticker. every orrange also need the sticker for GDL?

Angel~my mum want the 'kia liu bang' for relatives, I think mostly relatives like the cakes,no choice lar!Important is mum agreed no need the potty and red tub.

Ribbons, agreed with you, but different ppl have different thinking.

I think my HB also can't everytime stuck in the jams! He will get mad if everyweek like this, hehehe! :p
 
318bi: to me i appreciate the jam times cvos we get to talk... dont think my hubby appreciates it though... cos he's the one driving! come to think about it, we've gone up so many times, rarely stuck in a bad jam... must see what time we arrive at customs lor... game of chance.. =)
 
hi ribbons - no worries. ur mummy and MIL can handle all these. u just need to prepare the barang for them or shop with them. that's it.

GDL - not too sure but my elder sis was around during GDL. ha ha ha ha ha ha

ting - welcome. sure Dec is a hot period. I have 4 friends not being able to make it already after I send out the save the date. so guess at least they reply so u can fill up the seats. wow ur preps is FAST!!
happy.gif
the last 2 weeks? hmm.. i guess go for hen's party, re touch hair colour etc bah..,chase RSVP and settle guest seating arrangement which is the MOST HEADACHE ha ha ha ha ha.
 
Jen, your 2nd makeup means the makeup for 2nd march in? but my MUA told me that to do another makeup is very bad for the skin, so he suggest me if i really want, he can just change some eye shadow color and the hairstyle. do you need to pay extra for the 2nd makeup?
 
Angel, you only have 4 friedsn, I have around 3 tables frds can't make it already.....because at the same day, have another friend marry. Some of 'our' frds go for her dinner...
 
Ribbons,I also think we get closer after have a short break or short jams.
happy.gif
The jams we can talk a lot right? after reaching the shopping centre, only will see this and see that, try this try that, eat and eat! Where got time to talk? hahaha!
 
angel, kah lui bang can buy from Tong Heng, its usually placed near lao po bing..
happy.gif
hmm... i dunno if its yummy haha..
another place is da tong in chinatown.. these are the 2 that i know, but TOng Heng is usually more accessible to most..

my mom not doing the shu tou also.. cos if REALLY want, muz exactly same time shu tou, then eactly same time light the long feng candles.. n supposedly, which candle goes off 1st means next time also GO OFF 1st..

hmm.. the person who hold the teapot n stuff during the tea ceremony is also supposed to be a 'fortunate lady'
happy.gif


haha, ribbons, really v optimistic. but glad u got to bond.. my hb? totally cant get stuck in ANY traffic at all.. it'd be nightmarish for me hahahaha.. so its good ur fh is so patient
happy.gif
 
hi vonn..
actually at first i estimated my tables to b ard 40-44.. then i ordered 50 bottles.. then perhaps get a brother to ctrl the flow of wines.. but apparently, it seems like i might hit 50 tables.. so not sure whether wan to order more bottles anot leh.. o really?.. st*r cellar really quite gd hor..
happy.gif


jkit..
i din bother to ask my mua hw much it cost actually.. heh.. cz she told me if above 35 tables, then dun do liaoz.. no time.. so i tink i wil jz do simple touch up myself lor.. my mua say that if put the ampoule, face wont b patchy patchy after sometime oso lor.. so wont b doin anything for second march in..
happy.gif
hw abt u?
 
318bi: haha... yeah i agree with your point of view also... talk a lot in the car cos when reach shopping centre he better dont interuppt my shopping ... haha...

maez: not totally becos my hubby patient lah.. he's like your typical male driver.. impatient especially in jams.. haha.. but not choice mah, we made the choice to go JB, and we already know of the jams before hand.. but as i say, my driving force to endure jams is the exchange rate... =)
 
Hi gals,
I have around 50 tables and im ordering 60 bottles of wine on consignement.
happy.gif


Vonn, agree that ST*r cellar is good...we tried alot of wines there last time too.
happy.gif
 
jen, i did my ROM just before the dinner. so ROM one makeup, dinner first march in one makeup/hairdo. so may not want to do changes for 2nd march in, but maybe just change the flower on the head myself. my mua does not provide ampule. where can i get it?
 
hi gals,

my AD also end of DEC 2006 but i still have a lot of stuff outstanding...*faint*

GDL, An Chuan, invitation cards, songs...etc

Any 1 has a checklist for things to do? Thanks
 
hey angel..thx for the extensive sharing on wat needs to be bought n done for GDL etc... shed alot of light on this matter for me... hehehe...

i think this thread will be more n more active soon ya, as our AD draws near!!

2wks b4 the AD..definitely bz beautifying..touch up hair.. n cfm guests lists.. hopefully by then...most of the things are settled le..so that dun have to rush! =)

as for when to send invites.. i oso not very sure leh... relatives, sld be abt 2wks b4 the AD (when we delivering the cakes) coz they would ve heard of the wedding date b4 hand le...as for frens.. i've also informed majority of them...asking them to save the date for me.. hehe... guess i will send out the wedding invites for most of the guests abt 3-4wks b4 the AD... den followed by a phone call to cfm (for those that haven rsvp)

happy weekend~~~~

hey matsu...

if u happen to have bridal mags...i believe most of them have a checklist for u...i got mine from the mags... but i dun have a soft copy for that... but if u realli need one... lemme know again..try to do it for ya.... ;)
 
hi all,
u are welcome. i make sure i upload the list when i get home k? cos office cannot lah..

yeps maez is certainly knowlegeable!! hee hee..

318 - that happens usually. if i get 2 invites on the same day, my method is to leave slightly before 2nd march in for the other couple's dinner. that is if i wanna attend both. if one is closer to me than the other say a colleague i not familiar.. i will RSVP only 1. so depends on ur friends.
happy.gif


matsu - dun be worried. do things step by step. MY PS isnt even over to start with!!! HA HA HA HA HA...
 
kai, thanks 4 offering
happy.gif
hmm...the bridal mag don't have things like GDL, An chuan those chinese traditional stuff right?

sigh...guess me getting too excited liao but don't wanna do everything in last 2mths time lei, too stress 4 me that way...haha
 
Matsu, don't worry, I also still at gear one, want to step to 2nd gear soon.
happy.gif
hehehehe!

Angel~yah,we also will do that usually. I still will send sms to them to confirm for courtesy!
 
Hi gals, agreed….i be having 20-22 tables, so order 30 bottles ok anot har? I have not confirm my orders with them yet but I will not be taking consignment cos oni 30 bottles, left over can give ppl during house warming, bday parties or drink ourself lor. U gals know right, by consignment there will be 5% GST incurred?
 
hey ladies,

For those still looking for wines, there's a wine fair outside Carrefour (Suntec City) starting today (I think...check today's TODAY). Can go an sample some wines too...heehee...
happy.gif
 
hi gals,

as promised. This is the excel spreadsheet I found from another thread in SBO eons ago.

Disclaimer: The list is comprehensive as well as not comprehensive as it depends on dialect group, couple's & family's preferences to follow or not to follow. BTBs & GTBs may use it as a guideline but NOT necessary follow wholesale.
happy.gif
It also includes "DONG TU" items for renovation.

Jingles- Just when I was at my wits end about my AD (30Dec) invitees, your idea of smsing them helped. A bit worried that nobody show up on our big day. I smsed all my invited friends to chope the day for me. Formal invitation can only send later. Almost all replied that they will come. Nearer to date will call them to confirm their attendance. Like very KS hor. Thanks for your idea.

Hi,

My AD is in 14 Nov, I had my PS on 20/5/06 and I only collected all album and soft copies today. That was certainly a long wait. Beats me too why the BS took such a long time to return me my stuff. I ever asked if I could collect 1 week earlier so that I could do my montage and they said no.
 
Hmmmm......Yeah...I also never hear from Lipstar in a while already. But I got a forward email from her so I know she's around. Reckon she's busy?

So how ah.....dinner? We postpone to next week-lah since Miss Piggy cannot make it. How next Tuesday (12th), Girls?
 
a bit off the topic here but i got to let off some steam... I COMPLETED MY ASSIGNMENTS ALREADY!!! WOOHOO!! *cartwheels*

so now i can officially do my planning and preps! YEAH!

=) THank you for letting me post this...
 


anyone needs to buy gold or silver strings? I bought mine at Arab street. 100m for $3. Very good price... dont think its cos i am a regular there... i frequent customer but only privilege that i get is that i can talk as friends to the boss, but no discount.. =)

the name of the shop is Kin Soon Company, at the other end of arab street, away from GOlden Landmark hotel.. (street where they sell all the cloth)

FYI: Other shops that i have sourced (Arab street and concourse) all charge min of $4 for 100m...
