Hi havensbreath,
I don't have quotes from the venues but I remember seeing the rental fees for a couple of places on the Kri*ton website (replace the * with an s). Go to www.kri*ton.com (replace the * with an s), click on Our Services, then click on Venues. They list the rental fees for The Arts House, Burkhill Hall, Asian Civilisations Museum, Fort Canning Park, The Namly Lounge and the Singapore Art Museum.
Hope this helps!

Noreen,
U r lucky that ur PG ask u to move freely... my PG "posed" us and I am very worried that we might ended up looking like two dummies or what I usually described as two blocks of wood... very sian... I'm not even looking forward to see the photos...
Mage,
I've added u to my msn, will complain further there when we meet up....
Tete, Muddpie and Icecherry,
I would definitely complain to the boss of my BS if the photos turn out to be sub-standard... just that my Fh has difficulty taking leave due to his work, if to reschedule another PS, then very headache for him...

Hey Gals,
I'll definitely try to make it! There's this ramen shop at Marina Square that has collagen in their soup that's supposed to be good for complexion and health. Anyone interested?

BTW, about the GymBall, you can buy it from this sports equipment shop call AIBI and they have a branch at Suntec City level 2 near Carrefour (that's where I bought mine - think it was $29).
Shoes - yes, it's nice and important to buy shoes for the wedding but I don't want to buy a pair of shoe that I'll only wear once. So I bought a nice looking pair of champagne colour sandals that I can still wear for casual days out after the wedding. Just a thought to share...

Okay... I better start telling close friends that I much prefer ang baos as I have no space for presents yet... haha
Hey there is new BTO today... at seng kang...
Seriously, I really don't think sellers ask for that much lar... I only pay 5k above valuation for my resale flat....
Then hor, when I went around searching... I only took those within walking distance to MRT and stated that it is less than 10k above valuation...

Hi Muddpie,
Yes I agree with you on the importance of the cut of the gown. I found some BS keen to push certain designs onto their BTB. The really good and professional ones should understand your body and find a cut that fits you and hide your flaws.
It's nice if we can also find the time to workout and tone up but not everyone has the luxury. I've got flabs hanging off me and has tried all ways to lose it. In the end, I found what my gf said is true. The gown NEEDS to fit you! Not the other way around so I'm very happy with mine now.
The other thing is, once you start to exercise or work out, you need to maintain it or it'll come back with more! I'm also lazy to be honest so don't want to set something up that I know I cannot maintain.
Just being practical here... hmm... think I'm probably the oldest amongst you gals.
Hahaha!

Hi Selina, i have confirmed the pre-wed PG in KL. Now left sourcing of gowns...if really can't find, i will go back to the KL shop to rent their gown...
I think you can start looking around now, and when the promotion is rite, grab it. Sometimes their promo timing may not coincide with yr end...Because the photoshoot and album process can be draggy sometimes. BS advise to take photos at least 4 mths before AD. If you wanna MTM your gown, the process will be even longer. So my advice is to sign up BS at 9 mths before AD. (Just my 2 cents worth...)

Evisu, I agree with you.
I read somewhere in this forum that a seller asked for 85k for a bishan 4-room flat. Where the hell to get so much cash.

Agree with Floating on buying practical shoes. My light champagne gold heels is simple and can go with almost anything. I got it to match my ivory cheongsam for ROM and intend to wear it for my photoshoot, AD and evening banquet. Will also wear it for dressy events like weddings and dinners.
wah.. now is buying house? hehee.. no one like staying in jurong?? *lol*.. my house's there..
feel lost on all the topics.. hmm.. anyways.. mindy.. the ang bao thingy right, no harm passing the word around through frens.. we did tat too.. & cos actually ppl will also discuss abt wat each other's giving & how much.. so it'll be good to spread around you cost per head too (we did tat).. so tat ppl can gauge.. for my case, my little cousins & less than 30 ppl (abt 1/5 of the total lah) have pressies.. the rest were either cash ang baos, or shopping vouchers like taka etc.. so we were able to recover reception lor..

I bought woodlands... hmm....I better pass the word around... I live with my brother in a room... I really feel that people buy gifts for me then waste de... cos I never like to take care of those things...
Unless you are talking about practical things.... haha....
I didnt know it is that bad... the property market... though my agent did tell me... but we say we want to give it a shot... call newspaper on our own... call everyone and ask how much they selling above valuation and the location....
I admit that we only managed to shortlist around 10 flats to view out of 3 columns of flats.... but I guess we were rather lucky cos out of the 10 flats, we found two that we liked alot...
The current flat that I buying was actually asking for 17k above valuation but my agent managed to help us till its only 5k above valuation....

Hi
Agree with the comments abt shoes. That's why I rather not spend too much on them. Did think of customising if I can't find any but that is only as last resort cos it will def cost more to customise.
I have a trial makeup on the 14th so can't join you gals in dinner and kopi

hi yaya,
I was considering swissotel initially but ended up with Intercon. the themes they have at STS are very nice! love the black and red theme.
hi flora,
i will probably be outsourcing the photo montage. dunno how to use photoshop. but did consider buying it so that i can edit some of the photos myself.
