Hi De_princess, I think there are many other JPs around other than Mr Chan. My JP is Mrs Chia, you can look for her if you want. 
Talking about mani and pedi, where do you girls do it? I'm thinking to get a package since gonna do it a few time this year. Any recommendation?

happylife: I think if you check the homepage of SGBrides, you can see that there's a promo with Celebrity Nails. I may take up the package... Still gotta do nails for PS & AD.
Ben: Since yours is MTM, then you should be done within 3 hours. Your coordinator will let you try on some gowns just to see what styles are more suitable for you. If you see a gown you love, can just take OTR too. BC will just deduct the cost from your package.

Hi all, see you all talking about renovations! Mine is supposed to be ready by 1st week of Feb. Hopefully everything will be done soon. All my furnitures and appliances will be delivered on the 9th Feb. Can't wait to see everything put together..
My house is a 5-room. We did a major renovations, meaning everything in the house taken out and hacked. My renovations started in 4th Dec but in the month of Dec, nothing much was done or else mid Jan should be able to handover liao. I think it is because of holiday season too. So if you all going to do renovation must set alot of buffer time just in case. If want to do major reno and be in time for AD, better start confirming your ID soon. Then can start renovation after CNY and shop around for furnishing and appliances.
cpigl, to get better offers for appliances. It's better to go to those neighbourhood stores. I read about some in the Home and Deco thread and I went to DAV. First, you have to decide on the brand and model of appliances you want to get then note them down. Go to Best Denki or Harvey Norman to see cos those in the neighbourhood don't have a huge range of products. You actually no need to make a trip down to them cos some of them like DAV, doesn't have display sets. Just call them up and check out prices then go to those that you are comfortable with. Those that I tried calling are DAV, Kong Tai, Goh Ah Bee, Hong Liang, Adamas and Asia Excel. Out of all these, DAV has most of the better comments and reasonable prices. Asia Excel took a long time to get back so we dropped them. Must be patient when getting quotes from them especially if you have a few items cos most of them are super busy as they have alot of orders.

happylife, i have tried calling hong liang and a shop in toa payoh. the one at toa payoh give me a lower quote. i also saw from one of the thread, there is a online company call humbleelectric, their quote is the lowest and don't require any deposit. not sure if i want to take them. heheh.... still looking around. gain city do give similar prices to neighbourhood shops for some items.
my house should be ready by end of jan or early feb

Joy Joy,
I;m a Hakka n my hb is a hokkien..as for hakka, is very similar to that of a Cantonese..i think a roast suckling pig is needed, then when u hui niang jia, u have to bring the whole suckling pig back to ur mum house n she'll need to separate the pig so that ur hubby can bring back the tail and head back to his house...that's the traditional way of doing, signifying you tou you wei (neatly done) in all things that your hubby does in future to come....kinda interesting ah..
As for me I'll be doing without the suckling pig cos my mum is not very particular on such practice..she had advised to prevent any killing on our big day..devoted Buddhist. Well it's eventually up to individual

cpigl, good that you found good quotes but do check carefully cos some of them tend to give display sets.
Hi +_eMiLy_+, I think most of them cannot pay by installment and in fact, most of them accept credit card unless you pay 3% extra. So if you are thinking of paying by installments, try Best Denki or Harvey Norman. Btw, I think don't go to Courts cos Best Denki or Harvey Norman can still bargain with them one although may not be as attractive as those in the neighbourhood but still not too bad. If the store state that it's 0% installment for the credit card then yes, it is interest free. But you have to remember that you cannot redeem the installment early else have to pay a fee i.e. if you decide to pay 24 months installment then have to pay in 24 months cannot 12 months later want to pay all have to pay a fee.
I spent about 90k on my reno, furnishing and appliances.
Good luck in your search!

emily, to date i have spent $42K on reno. furnishing haven't source yet. other then your kitchen cabinets, will you be doing the toilets, re-wiring, changing lightings, painting, chemical wash the whole place, rubbish chute, iron gate, main door, when you change all the doors, do you need to change the door frame?
for me, i tear the whole place down and re-do everything including windows, grills, rubbish chute. heheh....

emily, i also like white window grills with blue
think I will look for the ready to move in flat, so that i only need to change aircon and toilet stuff. din wana spent a lot on reno. BTW, HDB main door is stronger leh, is fire-proof. so better dun change.
If you have enough cash to pay for the furniture, good to pay-off everything then no worry after that. But if not enough cash or emergency fund, then 0% installment was not a bad idea.

emily, for my hse, i also didn't change the floor tiles as they are still in good condition... but i laminiated the floors for the master and 2nd bedroom which we combined to one room.
we didn't like the previous owner's kitchen and toilets so i hack away all the tiles and redo those...
hhhmmm there will be quite abit to do depending on how fast u want the hse to be ready.. can start with thinking whether u want to let ID do the hse or contractors.. =)
if u choose a reliable ID, dun need to monitor as closely, for contractors, u'll need more time to liaise with different pple and co-ordinate ur time better, but most of the time it will be cheaper..

hi mo mo, actually, my case is the opposite of you. my FH is a catholic but i'm not. Initially, he didn't wanna have a church wedding cos it means nothing to me. But things change and I don't mind doing it for him cos i think i means something for him. We've also signed up for the Engage and Encounter Weekend workshop. The church wedding will be held at Church of the Risen Christ.

JLee,
i m not a teacher, though have been toying with the idea to apply to be one.. Joyce is a nice name.. tat's y!! keke..
the suckling pig seems more significant if the bride is a Hakka or Cantonese lehz.. saw in some other threads, the Ti Qin is like 3 weeks b4 AD.. isit that too near to the wedding date..
Anyone out there had done that oredi? how long b4 the AD shld we give out the invitation, the Xi Bin n watever will b given out at the same time oso rite.. then the Ti Qin shld b even earlier than tat loh..
