Hi Angel~Yesterday I went to Chinatown to buy stickers and 'xi' plate. I notices that different shop got differents price leh.which catering you will recommed? Another question, how do I know my Jie Mei will crash with us?
 
Hi gals!
It's OCT!! for some, it's 1 mth more...heehee...

Hi ffbear,
I went Natas. I went on all 3 days! I must be mad. Friday was a good day to go. No crowd. Friday I went on my own to check out the packages and shortlist. Sat went with FH to do booking. But as I had to work on Sat, we reached Natas quite late and the freebies were all given out. So tour agency wrote us booking form, and told us to come back next day to pay (we didn't mind coz I'm now staying in Bedok). So we went back on Sunday morning and paid our deposit. heehee...and went ard collecting the lucky draws and bags. I think coz of the timings we were there, the crowd was not so bad.

Hey, dun worry about your pictures. It'll surely be very nice. Perhaps you want to call them to check? Sometimes, better to be mah fun, at least you get ur stuff done properly and u are in control.
 
heee... my friend a little pang dang wan... eh... better tell her OMG... haha feel like getting my close friend ( a guy) hahaha to be my "jiemei"ha....
welcome Panda... no wonder no see you
happy.gif
PS coming soon right :P email you later

318.. when choose the date.. the shifu will say whicg year sign clash that day... eg for me is horse... no wan in my family is horse so take that date... ahahah but 1 jie mei is born in the year of horse
 
ffbear, CSI, I was at natas too.. on sat.. fiannly booked my HM too.. where are u gals going? I finally decided to go Hokkaido.. but we will only be going in mid dec when the weather is better. also my hb can only take leaves in dec as he's in a project now..

getting really excited now.. abt 6-7 wks to go.. so scary
 
Thanks prinzess, never heard MIL talk about it. Maybe her shi fu also never mention. hehe! My jiemei all same age with me, should be no problem!
 
hi ribbons - congrats!!!!

318bi - oic.. i will pop by chinatown soon.. if go JB visit PIL maybe will check out Xi stickers also.. shld be cheaper there..oh this one u gotta check ur geomancer. for me and hubby no dragon babes or hunks cos clash with us.
happy.gif


prinzess - gd idea.. inject some fun into "jiemei" i initially tot of that to ask some of my gd guy buddies.. but now jiemei list is a lot oredi.. so decided to stick to gals.. besides bachalerotte party.. one guy tag along dunno how.. HA HA HA HA HA
 
hi blur blur,
We're going Italy. Also in mid Dec...coz FH can only leave in Dec. heehee...

yap, it's scary and yet exciting...
 
Angel, you are right, Malaysia shuld be cheaper than here especially the bigger 'xi' stickers. Last time my relatives bought the same design with me for the Chinese New Year sticker,around 40% discount. How many jie mei you have? I quite a lot too! should be fun lar even have a guy tag along, he is your good buddies right...hahaha!
 
318bi - ya lor.. shld be cheaper.. will go find... but i dun want anything overly complicated. just simple Xi can liao. ha ha ha ha.. no lah.. one of my JM gonna plan my bacherlorette party so i leave it to her. but i oredi stated my conidtions no kinky business, meng nan show or bring me go see Crazy Horse show etc. HA HA HA HA HA... To date i have 5. and will stop at 5.

Hi gals,
Looks like all of us have made some progress hee. I managed to collect my tickets. Hmm, GDL was only finalised...luckily the dinner was ok. Initially was quite awkward though hee. Yah, its scary man...so fast....
 
CSI, great... isn't it winter also in italy in dec?? I was in germany last dec.. and it was freezing cold.. remember to get more winter clothings.

Nami, my meeting session is in late oct.. now headache with guest list.
 
$65 is a good pricing rite?

My MUA said if she can do, she is charging $80 per pax, and my friend's sister charging $90 per pax lei..

If you need to reach the guy's place before 9am, and the travelling time set aside is 1hour (leaving the bride's place at 8am) what time will you get the groom and his brother to reach the bride's place ar? 7am or 7.30am?
 
hi gals.. i did not go to the natas fair too, have already booked my HM at CTC HQ few weeks ago becoz afraid i cant get the departure date i want during natas...

btw girls, how many wedding flavours are u getting from the hotel? i chose 2. heart shaped salt &amp; pepper shakers &amp; another 'old couple' figurines with 4 designs. To be placed on alternate seats. i suddenly have 2nd thot, is the salt &amp; pepper appropriate as wedding flavour? it is actually very small, dun think ppl will use it, should i just choose chocolate? some advises pls .. thank u very muchie...... btw, im choosing everything from the hotel, no customization..
sad.gif
 
Jo, for my MUA, the rate per PAX varies depending on the no of persons she needs to make-up &amp; do hairdo. 65pax is b'coz i need her to do 2 persons. again, the rate will be different if the MUA has to come all the way just to do 1 or 2 person
 
Diamond, Thanks for your info. I havent' ask my MUA to quote. Will call her up later.

Jo, it's depend when you want the groom to reach the bride's place, if your JieMei have a lot of 'program' then should be reach the bride's place around 7am.
 
<font color="0077aa">hi prinzess, my PS end of the month.. you completed yours? had fun? i will email you when i get home lar.. kekekek

happy, the charges depends on your mua.. think its better if you check with him/her directly.. =)</font>
 
angeldust: if you go JB, go city square, theres a Forever Fengshui shop there... they have alot of those Xi stickers, and got those stuff that you need for an chuang and whatever lah, they very fiendly too, can advise you...
 
12th is on thursday leh. Thurs i normally cannot cos I might have to work late, and also its my B.day...hehhe..so 100% cannot la...heheh

sad.gif
 
Oh yeah ah...I kept looking at my September calendar lah Jean. Um...but happy birthday! (Don't mind my being early lah).

In that case, how about 10th Tuesday?

Girls?
 
hi nami, my AD is on 11 nov and i hve yet to send out email or sms. shd be sending out this wk n get them to reply. juz went to view my photos layout yest n gotta e CD of my photos. I hve already done my HM booking in aug'06. Going Spain, barcelona.
 
hi silentelf, i think e pepper shaker is special. as a guest attending ur wedding i would much want to collect something special for the wedding favour rather than the chocolate. my wedding favour provided by my hotel would be either heart-shaped chocolate, bears or pineapple cake. i think i would choose bears which come separate. hopefully they hve new stuff. i hve a collection of wedding favour which i keep whenever i attend wedding dinner. my MIL also pass me some special ones to add in my collection.
 
hi ffbear!!
hey... when r u goin to italy?? i wil b ther in nov too leh .. straight after my AD! .. hehe.. i rem' our AD r veri close.. but when wil u flyin to italy and switz?? .. i wil b at those two places leh.. hee.. wonder if we will mit each other anot.. hee.. so excited!! i wil b goin up on early morn 2am of 27 nov leh.. n u mention that u r goin late nov oso!! .. hee.. when when?? .. so interesting!! .. hee.. i m so xcited all over again.. hee
 
wah so long nvr come in..as usual it fills up another archive. heheh.

maez-no mention of the sending guest song but wat u list is wat they would def need. sending guest off not required but im gog to have 1. the CD music will be played in the control room so it not near the ballroom i presume.

ribbons-hahaha okok. bak kwa for ur mum lor. wat flavour?hehe

angeldust-wah not bad leh. start doing liao...wat software u use ah?

Ok, now im handling songs still. arranging food tasting and getting da wife to settle the florist and invites as well. once done think is GDL and sending out invites and RSVP liao. shld be over soon. hehehe. then comes the rehearsals n AD liao loh...

gd luck all the pretty BTB. i hope i can still come in here often. adios.....
 
thanks ffbear, debbie, jen... personally i would love to give something for guests to keep.. ok lah..maybe i think too much liao.. kept having this feeling ppl will say me 'bo leow' giving the shakers.. thanks thanks.. i feel more at ease now to hear positive comments.. my hotel provide teddy bears too.. they are very sweet.. but i didnt choose that becoz they normally dun give the bears (male &amp; female) as 1 wedding flavour. I find it very 'hen xin' to separate the bears leh.. ;p

wah looks like some of u probably might end up in the same country for ya honeymoon hor? anyone going to Japan early Nov?? that's where im going.. :p.. short short holiday only.. becoz i dun have enough leave liao..
 
gd mrg all,

318bi - ya NO CRAZY HORSE lah.. freak me out.. ha ha ha ha ha ha..

ribbons - thank u for the tip!! will go with hubby this weekend to raid.. ha ha ha ha ha ha but the AC stuff ah.. i think my mummy will help me prepare from SG.

daman - i am using imovie in mac conversion to quicktime format. Then also can convert to idvd from imovie. but that one haven figure out how to do. HA HA HA HA HA.. but at least now I know how I can do a montage.

happy - yeps 2nd look charges varies from MUA to MUA.
 
Hi ffbear,
hahaha....yah...me KS horh. heehee....dunno leh, when I was there on Friday, there was no queue...maybe coz I was there late lah. Reached there at 730pm. Walked ard with my gal fren, picked up brochures and made a few enquiries and left at abt 9 plus. Went home, did some analysis on the packages, shortlisted, passed to FH on Sat. Then evening time, we went back to book, again at abt 730pm. No queue to buy tix, but more pple inside. But then....agency told us all the freebies finished liao. Asked us to come back on Sun morning to get the freebies. So, ok lorh..that's why I ended up going there 3 days...muahahaha...
happy.gif


Hi Silentelf,
I think the salt and pepper thingy is nice. Something different...I'm also like u...I find it so cruel to separate the bears. hehs...

Wah, Jen, ffbear...
You gals would be in Italy too? Aiyah, too bad I'll be going much later, so wun get to meet. heehee...how long will you gals be there? Hey, must pop back in here to tell me what to look out for when in Italy leh... :p heehee...
 
<font color="0077aa">hi beloved prinzess, i saw.. i tot you look great! =) must share more next time ok? i can't wait for mine.. </font>
 
samkoh - dont mention...after all we are here to share ideas/woes/gossips to get thru the event together
happy.gif


dear ladies, anyone started to print ur wedding cards? please advise how much is per card it cost...now worried that not in time for printing :s
 
Hi all...

Another thing ticked on my to-do list.
kao_clap.gif

Confirm my makeup artiste liao. Today going to pay deposit for dinner. Not doing food tasting cos the restaurant i'm using is very established. food can't be too bad. But the tea they serve confirm bad one lor.
kao_sticktongue.gif
Most probably using my own tea leaves.
 
jingles - dun worry printing wun take a lot of time once u can confirm the template. u mean printing of inserts or printing on ur own card? cos printing on inserts is cheaper.

318bi - 15 mins is TOO LONG. I am trying to do a 3 min clip. my Save the date clip was 1.03. each picture needs 5 seconds for a gd look. hee hee..
 
Hi gals, wow alot of updates!

Debbie, your AD is my GDL haha. So are you more or less settled with your preps? Another month to go only...very fast. Can share with me your pics? My email add is [email protected]
happy.gif


Silentelf, I agree with Jen T and the rest. As a guest, I will prefer to receive unique favours rather than the normal ones if i have a choice. So, dun worry, Im sure your guests will love them!

Ffbear, CSI &amp; Jen T, seems like all of you have booked your HM. That's good right...1 more thg down liao.
happy.gif


Hmm, for me, yesterday I managed to rsvp all my hall frens coz attended a dinner yesterday. So, my RSVP is almost done, but now headache with the table arrangement. What about you guys?
happy.gif
 
thks all...

the wedding was fine....busy whole day and in a blink of eyes, it the end of the dinner liao...but me and hubby knock out shortly after we went back to our bridal suite....DRUNK!! hee hee...i start to vomit after my MIL left....so my poor parents, one of my cousin and my siblings stay back to help us tidy up our room and count ang bao $$$...hengz, we manage to cover...hee hee

Wish all of you the October Bride and Groom a Blissful marriage ever after...

wahahahha
 
hi girls...

how's weekend?

Hb and I managed to go to NATAS on sunday and finally had our HM settled. We heard from church friends that the NATAS fair rates offered are higher compared to their in-house fair. But never mind, cos we approached the embassy instead, kekeke.

We will be going to Hua Hin and thereafter to Bangkok. We even managed to made friends with the Thai Hotel GM, who attended to us. May be meeting up with him next week, when he returns again for holidays.

Blur,

I going to Hokkaido next year with a colleague. Hopefully I can save that much by then. May be you can let me know what are the sights worthy to visit, and the estimated amount of expenditure per day. No hurry, when you return from HM, then take your time. you have my email right?
