(2006) Brides of year 2006

morning gals...

linda we ordered so many and then manage to cost us $4.80 after discount.. u got urs for $3.80, quite worth it leh..

ffbear, ya.. we all give each other moral support.. I was looking at the calender jus now.. so scary.. seems like I got so many things to do, but not enough time.
 


hi gals...

i've gone for tasting at parker's... their wedding wine range is from $13 - $19..they oso have more ex ones...that are beyond $20....

the $13 - $19 range quite gd variety liao...just go taste n see wat u like n order lor... =)

but..one word of caution.. the $13 is very easy to down... (very fruity..not dry..like juice.. hehe) so..ur guests may just drink n drink... coz very light n easy on the throat... hehe...

yup..the lady there advised on magnum bottles too..if the hotel charges corkage..

i din chk out the rest though..coz... lazy..n i think price wise sld be similar...almost wanted to go star cellar (called them to chk rates) but i think parker has a more favorable consignment arrangement (IF i din remember wrongly)
 
maez - Parker's on my shortlist!!! ha ha ha ha ha ah.. cos i heard abt the MAGNUM bottles too!!!

Hi gals,

can i know where u all placed your order for the wrist corsage? I tried accessing the link given previously in this thread but was invalid. Tried emailing but didnt get any reply from them too... need to place order now as my wedding only 5 weeks away, thanks!
 
actually its the first time i heard u have to go to the studio to get your makeup on the AD. maybe they wanna charge u extra if u wan the MUA to go ur place.
 
Gals, wow so many updates. Was busy with work so not very active lately keke. Looks like many of you are going Europe...so nice hee. I ordred my corsages with blur and the rest

ya there is the magnum,.. that time when i went down to parker only 1 type of wine that is Magnum bottle (amt of wine is x 2 of normal bottle).. i count in the cost of corkage... divide by 2 its around the cost of 1 normal bottle plus 1 corkage (my corkage is $10/bottle)... so no saving..
hee then only 1 choice of wine.. so didnt buy in the end...
think have to see whats your corkage cost?

ask parker.. the cost of doing the magnum bottle is higher than normal bottle thats why no saving for my case...

<font color="0077aa">hey gers, do take note, some hotels computed corkage for magnum bottle as 2 x usual corkage price... so end up you dun really save on corkage.. =(

Hi Designfreak no extra change if i go to the studio.

The bridal shop keep telling us that their makeup artist can't go out of the studio. Have to stay in the studio the whole day. I also don't know why.

Headache

Jen T, that's fast also.. i have not do up my AD schedule.. how early before are you all sending out your invitation card? is 1 month before too long? I am thinking of sending out 3 weeks before so that my guest will not forget my invitation. Wil it b too late?

selentelf.. great.. are u going FnE?? very nice. i love japan a lot. u having roasted pig on your AD or GDL?? $350 eh? think it's the average price right??
 
hi blur blur.. i am sending my cards 3 weeks b4 AD.. :D oso afraid if send too early, guests might forget.. hee..

no leh.. im not going for F&amp;E.. going by CTC tour.. im having the roasted pig during GDL. I think the price should be more or less bah.. as i need the piggy by 20 Oct.. so i didnt go anywhere to source liao.. ;p

to divert attention from the long absence*

It's been a long time since I came here because as usual, I don't like my work. Too much work.
kao_sticktongue.gif
Too heavy workload. So I didn't want to come here, complain and bring my negativity.

Nothing new to report. Not preggers either.

And still haven't gone for honeymoon. Because work too busy. Nxt month my office is relocating. Last month, 1 dept was short of 1 staff - she was asked to leave due to poor work performance. On Wed, a staff from another dept went for operation to remove fibroids. She is going on a 1 mth MC. So now my ofc is short of 2 staff, plus we are going to move ofc, so ULTRA busy.
 
Gosh xiaobai. This cannot be tolerated. I think it's wise you look for a makeup artist who's definitely firm to do your makeup at the hotel. It will be too rushed for you to go down to the studio.

I found someone to do the makeup for my MIL and SIL. Would you like her contact? Her charges are pretty reasonable. Plse PM me if you are keen.

Gritting your teeth yet at work, eh? Stay positive yes?

So do you forsee having a bit more of your time back after the move? When is the office moving?

He will come to my hse &amp; chop the pig as some parts of the pig has to be returned to guy's family.. no worries lah.. whoever find first oso the same..

yeah jen..everything will go smoothly for u.. :D
 
hi daman n 318, ooh, will check out carrefour then.. what abt other supermarts? :P

daman, i not sure abt younger cousins but im not intending to do them. im the eldest n so is hb!! (n i have like more than 10younger cousins.. no way.. they can wait till new year hahaha)
magnum bottles.. the parker's wine person told me can bring a few, but not all, she DID say that RTP abit strict :P
 
Kai~ok,will go down and try it.Is it have to make appointment?

DaMAN~hmm, will talk to him....I always heard that XiongDi's AP more than JieMei leh...Mine sure more than 1k. Coz In-Law said if little kids from hb side also need give AP when they serving us tea.

Maez~My banquet co-ordinator told me that mostly they took from Carrefour. They do the delivery too!

Ribbons~it's depend on individual. Some couples 1st year didn't give AP, some did it.
 
Hello Marnie... thanks for the warm welcome back.
kao_happy.gif


Nope. My work will not get less busy after the move because regardless of the move, I already cannot handle the workload comfortably, and I think my manager is going to pass some more work to me next week. She hasn't unleashed
412823.gif
everything on me yet.

Tentatively office is moving in the first week of November, I think.
 
But my manager is even busier than me, so I can't complain. She has to do shipping, accounts, HR, admin and be the director's PA (like book air tickets)...
 
318bi... ya...betta to call 1st b4 u go down, so that they have pple there to serve u n intro the wines to u...

ribbons... i think 1st yr is dun need to give...but some pple just give rite after marriage... i guess depends on individual ba...

DAMAN &amp; maez... are ur talking abt AD giving angpows to the younger pple??? I think need to give.. wat my mum told me (N wat i saw last wk from my cousin's wedding) the bride n groom, apart from giving to the xiongdis n jiemeis, need to give to the little children (unmarried young adults as well) a small token.... i received my last wedding angpow last sun~~~ haha... n guess wat..i dropped it... thus, lost it... wakaka....
 
morning ladies.. Happy mid Autumn Festival!!!!Where are you gals going to celebrate today?

Linda, ohh ya.. mine was $6 initially. So I think she gave me a much more discounts.. cos we really bought a lot from her.

Jen T, yaya.. show us photos.. i wan to see...

ffbear, yaya.. call your BS and push them for it.. tell them u need the photos to do your montage.. at least get the raw images first. Me too, I can only get my edited images 1 wk before my AD, so my PG only give me my raw images.. better than nothing lo..

silentelf, I remember last time my brother also give a roast pig to my SIL during their AD.. luckily my mum did not request to have one..I think spending on those misc like GDL not cheap hor..
 
kai/ribbons, first yr must give or not depends on each own's family belief. for our case, defintely need to give. last time, i got newly web cousin who went for their HM during CNY time, relatives not too happy abt it &amp; given criticised that they purposely chose such a time to go HM &amp; to avoid giving APs!
 


kai, u are right. my mum also told me the same thing. she said, all young children, irregardless got offer tea to the couple or not, we must give them a small AP, for "heng heng". coz the "pandang" folks feel that the AP will ward away any bad luck for the children.

not sure if u girls have seen this being practiced or not. whenever there is a wedding in our family, all the children &amp; adult relatives will go inside the room to "hide" when the couple return back home on AD for tea ceremony. this is b'coz the couple is very "wan" that day when they come in.. not everyone can take that "wan" qi, so in order to avoid that, they will go inside the room for a while &amp; come out when the couple go into their room to take a short break to prepare for tea ceremony.

that also explains why the older folks believe giving APs to all young children who are around.. for the well being
