haha sorry for starting the toilet seat discussion!
lipstar, it's weird cos i posted quite alot of things but you only picked up the toilet seat one haha
adeline, the "Super sexy halter neck from Australia" is in great condition. er it's at home so i don't know what's the actual size. but it's my size la haha. if you usually buy size S with the occasional M, then should be fine.

pink: It is an Apr 06 brides' trademark - talk about anything under the sun, with a propensity to talk about gross things.
Cos your other questions, I also have no answer to them. GUess there are always irritating and inconsiderate people. But sometimes, people can be unknowingly annoying like people who hog the right side of the escalator because they were too engrossed chatting.
I HATE that, esp when the train is at the platform oredi, and I am in a hurry!!!

Hi diamond,
I do not have church so I cant advise much but perhaps can provide some options for u. What i understand is that veil cannot be unveil twice. so only once. either u choose at church (which i feel more meaningful) or after gatecrash. so my suggestion is:
a) wear Tea dress for mrg session so no veil.
b) hubby come, gate crash, present u flowers only
c) TC at bride's hse first
d) travel to hubby parent's hse, TC
e) travel to church, change into WG and put on veil
f) march in, solemnise, unveil, kiss.
g) travel to dinner venue.
Otherwise, alternative 2, skip all gate crash and do following:
a) all travel to church
b) vow ceremony, unveil, kiss
c) TC at church + reception
d) travel all to dinner venue.

angledust thanks for being so helpful. but both your recommendation cannot work for me b'coz:
1) the old folks believe that the bride must be in WG when she offers tea to her ILs
2) cannot hv tea ceremony in church for my side, my parents want TC to be at home. they are not catholic & none of my relatives are also. my relatives would not be present at the church either.
can i dont put the veil down when FH comes & pick me? put the veil down only at church?
the other alternative is to not to put the veil down at church....

Hey Asura,
Oh gosh! Sick! I just got well! You better take care of yourself. Now I bz until I got eye bag. Thank God holidays coming. Can rest man!
I've been going to my new home and cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. Haha ... My fridge and dining table just came in. Went to buy my hangers from downstairs. 10 for $2. I bought the harder metal wire type that look like plastic. Stiff metal. Not soft. Posted some photos on my multiply! Take a look if you are free!
Hi Geraldine,
I ordered my from Royal catering at Bedok North. I'm ordering for church and my house buffet lunch. Per pax is $10 min number can be less than 30 if you request I think. Four seasons is not bad too. Can try. If you want, I can give you the no.

diamond, guess the veil thing depends on you and your parents or ILs i guess... no hard and fuss rule..
why are you still in your WG when you go back to your parent's place for tea ceremony?? aint you supposed to change into tea dress liao? if so, no question of veil..
if you doing tea ceremony in your parent's place first, make sure your IL doesnt mind.. coz that gives the subtle indication that your hubby is marrying into your family.
next, if your parents dun mind, then your hubby dun have to unveil you when he goes fetch you.. you still can be in your WG and proceed to your IL place.
i think its so wierd not to have a veil when you walk down the aisle..
this is my planned schedule:
1. gatecrash - will be in tea dress (i mtm a short white duchess satin dress akin to a WG for this purpose)
2. then proceed to church - change to my WG and veil..
3. lunch reception - may change to my tea dress again since reception is outdoor (optional)
4. tea ceremony - to both families either in church or hotel suite (depending on wat i wear for lunch reception)
5. dinner cocktail - teadress or kerbaya
6. dinner - WG (no veil) then change to EG</font>

pandalic, my ILs are very modern, they even say tea ceremony on their side can do without. all their relatives will go church instead. (anyhow, i am not staying with my parents, rather, am staying on my own and my parents are currently staying at my bro's place, instead of their own place.)
ask u, if my hubby does not unveil me when he goes to fetch me, how am i going to go through tea ceremony with my veil down?
u see, we booked the church at 2pm, so my schedule will be:
1. gatecrash at my place
2. tea ceremony at my brother's place where my parents stay with
3. proceed to church for wedding in WG
so the veil part how huh? (dinner is on another day)
BUT if i can take the 11am slot for church wedding
it wld be:
1. gatecrash
2. church wedding
3. i changed into tea dress & tea ceremony at my bro's place in the afternoon.

hi gals,
I am back from the isetan sale today. The place is super crowded as usual and the fitting rooms queue is super duper long. Had burnt a big hole in my pocket.... haha....
Pandalic - can "reserve" the items? I had the intention to do the same. Bt when I was there yesterday, overheard the salesgirl telling another customer that they no longer allow reservations during sale period. So din bother asking ard liaoz.
I am also intending to start going for facial and body scrubs as there are scars on my back. Any good recommendations?

Wendy, think normally for these kind of big events we often get bad dreams on the 'worst case scenerio' . Like I dreamt one day that my WG got torn! But you must remember that it is only a dream and try not to let it affect you too much. Maybe choose another name, will make you feel better ant set your heart at ease.
Diana, dunno what happened to you, but sounds very bad. Take some time to cool off ok? We'll be here if you need out help!

pandalic, i even suggested before. my mother said i big shot is it, and none of my cousins did TC at banquet... sigh...
i attended engaged encounter last weekend. though it is a marriage counsellin course, from the course, it also confirmed that more differences lie ahead!

<font color="0077aa">eh, you dun have to do it during banquet.. you can have tea ceremony on the day (morning) of banquet.. you can have tea ceremony during around lunch.. then you cater lunch for your family at your brother's place lar.. wun that solve your problem???
if your mum is fine with having tea ceremony during your banquet day, then she can have it during her appt timing and you can please your IL as well..
if not, push the service to morning lor..
i in midst of my pre-marital counselling.. all's well and fine.. our differences are nullified by our faith in God. =)</font>

pandalic, cannot have TC on banquet day. coz that is a Monday. i cannot expect my relatives to take leave to come for TC right?
as for the service, there is already a session at 7am, 9am & 11am. no way can push it to 9 dec morning. if not, i wun end up by 2pm timing when i made booking at the beginning of this yr.
also, wats ur view of the groom lifting the veil when he picks her up. then the veil goes down again at church service. the bride did not change out of the WG & veil all these while.
thanks for sharing

<font color="0077aa">but i tot bride's slot will be available now??
its personal.. i think its ok tho i prefer to only be in my WG when i walk down the aisle.. somehow impact to the groom will be different.. if your parents kinda pantang, they will prob expect you to change when you do tea ceremony for your side of the family (supposed to symbolise "hui niang jia" mah).. and also dependent on your IL if they allow tea ceremony before church.. </font>

pandalic, she has not cancel the church booking. i checked with the church already. is not very nice of me to write to her directly to ask also.
furthermore, the church also told me that date is a hot date. there is even a soleminisation at 7am! church said even till now, pp still walk in wanting to book for that date.
i also dunno how to go abt doing it since her booking is still there. and if she does cancel, the slot may just be taken up by another person since it is a hot date (and i will not know also)

pandalic, wat i was asking on ur views is:
i am in WG & veil is done. groom lifts up the veil when he picks me up to go his place. then during church service, i put down my veil again to walk down the aisle. after church, then i change into tea dress.
wat do u think of putting down the veil 2 times. i did not remove it.

<font color="0077aa">email bride lor.. she is a nice lady..
i replied.. i said its ok.. but depending on your parents lor.. if they pantang, cannot lift veil twice then cannot lor.. my mum is kinda open but she doesnt like the idea of my veil lifted twice, so i only put on veil in church lor.. and i like the idea of only wearing my WG in church. </font>

pandalic, i think she is throught a rough patch now. so, i feel bad writing to her to ask her abt it at this time... i wrote her once on sharing of church deco last month.. she did not reply me..
your mum is open & she also doesnt like?
how abt wear WG but veil not down when groom picks me up. veil is down only at church? this got pantang or not?

yah.. i dun have to follow any customary rituals or buy any traditional stuff.. my mum only requests for my fiance to formerly ask for my hands.. then during the so-called guo da li, bring her some cakes and an ang pow.. thats all.. other stuff not required.. kekekek..
but she doesnt like the idea that i unveil twice..
i think that should be fine.. but check with your parents.. coz your parents will have to cover you with the veil.. are they ok to cover your veil in church? i understand that normally, parents will veil you from where you "chu jia"</font>

thanks pandalic.
my mum also said my FH needs to ask for my hands also. am thinking wait till the food tasting time.. dunno can or not.. yes, she wans cakes for gua da li... n some other traditional stuff.
parents need to cover me with veil? is that a must?
haizz... just a wedding & already got different views.... fyi, my relatives will not be going to church 'coz none of them are catholics & they will be bored. 1-2 of my cousins got married in church, but no relatives turn up. they just go for TC. my mum is worried that if my TC is too late in the afternoon, my relatives may not even wan to come!
a wedding has become to a "many people" event

yuki, no point going to ferrangmo today. coz most of the common sizes wld be gone by now. it wld be better to go taka ferrangmo tomorrow at 10am when it opens. b'coz that sale starts ONLY tomorrow for that taka outlet & is store wide 30%. u will have a much higher chance to get the size & colour u want. u can ask the taka outlet to transfer the shoes over to the outlet at Isetan Scotts so that u can pick it up from there & enjoy another 3% off with ur isetan card!
this is what the sales girl told me!

The ex-Director of Finance at CAAS who was charged with molestations, was acquitted after he "compounded" the offences, paid the victims $20,000 each. I went to check the dictionary. Compound means "to agree for a consideration not to prosecute (an offense)"
Wah! LIke that, the rich can escape small crimes? Cos I read in papers that compounding is only for minor crimes. But unfair leh...
