[kitty_ng]

hi ladies, we are all here to keep each other updated abt our wed prep progress in case we miss out any. So dun worry too much. We muz all enjoy the process k!

 

[crispy79]

Queenie : thanks. Ooh, i did went pass the one at anchorage before, they don't seems to have wines as cheap as $16nett though, i think eaglehawk about $18-20. Hmm, u got good bargain, maybe i'll call the Esther up. Thanks.

Ladies,
I just went for my food tasting yesterday. And it was so disappointing

Out out 9 dishes, half of it cannot really make it even though i've already opted for the better menu ... waste of $$$
So disappointed! Hopefully after our comments, they'll serve better dinner on the AD.

 

[xenxen]

ladies.. dun worry too much.. follow the check list n start planning wat to do next.. I've been v busy at work too so i ve to plan my schedule earlier.

Rach> the PG told mi he duno wat software to use or how to scan my pics to make montage

in the end, tink i jus stick to my PG let him do everytin easier for me..

btw Ve ur gotten the table seating plan frm ur hotel yet ?

 

[xinyi_reiko]

I agree with kittyng, we just update each other will do.. =)

I just confirm my album layouts. Final touch ups and can go for printing liao.. heehee

 

[happinessbliss]

Rach,

U let me know the final destination and date k? I will try to make it...cos ar, my boss always like to call last min meeting thats y dun dare to confirm with u all lei... haiz...

 

[baylee]

Hi Providencia,

Thanks for your help.

AD- 30/11

Can help me update the following:

Photographer -Reflections (Amos)
Videographer - Fotowerke

Thank you

 

[providencia]

nec, this is my ring for ur reference (ignore the fat fingers, pls). Is this what u are looking for? I had it custom made many yrs ago at a shop near raffles place MRT,in one of the office buildings in Shenton Way, after 2 failed attempts by Lee Hwa.

shybride, i checked out the pendant, very cute. U have gd taste.

Have fun at your PS tmr.

Sotong, why are u waiting for US dollars to go up before u buy ur rings? I'm blur.

 

[dodolet]

Providencia, if ur fingers big i dunno what mine called liao. *maybe jumbo*

I was told that the price of the diamond will rise if the USD is weaker. (they have a price tag to each grade of diamond and of a certain size world wide in us currency). So if the USD is up, potentially the diamond price tag will drop.

 

[irenezcf]

hi breakfast, my wedding will be at the Swissotel Stamford. How's your preparation? Feels like there are still a lot of last minute things to settle.

 

[jazzy_chimes]

Hi Josephine,
Finally someone who has the same AD as me .. hehe ... as you can see from the table, I've been pretty lonely there *lol*

 

[shi40lin]

Hi gals...I'm backo!
keke... long posts as expected since last friday.

providencia, your fingers aint big wor... For me my knuckles are big...cos i always crack the knuckles. Wearing my ring always quite difficult in the morning when it will stuck at the knuckle there...haha....

You gals now are talking abt rings ya... keke...

jac, my colls all went to drx for facial and treatment wor. But kinda ex wor. I wonder shd i go there try too.

shybride, thanks for sharing the seamstress contact. I thought of sponsoring my JMs dresses but nv specify must be same design. Hmm.. maybe i can consider to make use of same material, same cloth for their dresses but not same designs. So do we need to call her and tell her we r recommended by you?

 

[flora_bliss]

providencia, I oso have a trilogy instead of a solitaire. HTB bought it 2 yrs ago during the GSS. It was a great great bargain at 60% off the usual price. So nec, open your eyes big big when the GSS comes in May. I'm sure you'll find something nice at a good price.

 

[shi40lin]

msclaire...which part of woodlands u staying?
My future home will be in woodlands too

Haha did we talked b4 here? Seems so familiar we did talked

Haha...pardon me..my memory no good.

luvz, you've decided to exchange to Inter con Hotel ah?

 

[mary_poppins]

Welcome ladies. There are more &amp; more brides on 23 nov. Just to check, are most of you having the solemnisation on the same day or different days?

 

[shi40lin]

Flora, your HTB has got a good buy ya!

Ya when GSS came, then you all can get a bigger diamond at a cheaper price

For me, my hubby got it from his fren to get his staff purchase discount lor..haha... It's a small solitaire ring lor...haha.

 

[jfaith]

Hi Josephine,

Yes, I am indeed lucky, cos I actually won their pre-wedding photography package but since I already have the pre-wedding from my bridal, I asked to change to actual day photography instead. It should be Hilarion, quite a funni guy!

 

[flora_bliss]

xinglin, but HTB still burnt a big hole in his pocket. I'm now hoping to geting something nice during the GSS again. Can't wait for GSS to come.

 

[gingerbread_gal]

shybride,
Sorry to trouble you again, but what did your seamstress quote you for the bridesmaids' dresses? Is it $80 inclusive of material per dress?
By the way, enjoy your PS tomorrow!! Take more snaps and show us ok?

xinglin,
yeah I think DrX is slightly pricer but I think they are really very good. at least, my therapist is fab! I thought I wouldn't like their facial intially cos I tend to go for relaxation type but after 2 trips there, I like their style cos the facial feels tailor-made for my skin each time I go there. You can go try it out.

 

[shybride]

yep yep.. here is a good place to keep track of whether we are on time.. if a bit behind time, then at least it's not too late to catch up now! better than stressing out in may i plan to spend full day pampering myself the day b4 AD!

thias, haven't got the seating plan.. u got your confirmed guest attendance? my coordinator says he will give us when we can more confirm how many tables cos arrangement will be different depending on number of tables

 

[pooh83]

rach -> u mtm both ur WG and EG? must take pic and show us when it is done woh.. hee.. btw i am alright with a sat high tea but not lunch coz still need to work half day on sat..

 

[gingerbread_gal]

Meiling and Flora,
jus wanna check, did you girls receive letters from HDB informing of your balloting chances for the BE? This is the second letter I've got from HDB and its raising my hopes. But it seems that almost everyone who applied for the BS has it? Did you girls get it?

Do you also know what is the validity period of the HLE letter?

 

[shybride]

jac, it's no trouble at all la.. she quoted $80 per dress inclusive of material.

xinglin, no need to quote my name.. she prob hates me cos i had to cancel my dressmaking plans..

just now i went to moshi moshi.. and came out $400 poorer... faintz

 

[flora_bliss]

Jac, I didnt try for the BE. So I wouldn't be receiving any letters. I guess you'll have to wait for meiling to advise.

The HLE will be valid for 3 mths. The expiry date will be stated on the HLE letter.

 

[shybride]

hey gals i found a back treatment! body shop got do.. at their spa outlets.. $65 or $95 for 60 min.. got 2 types http://www.thebodyshop.com.sg/Green+Sanctuary.pdf

 

[bunnyhop]

Oh ya, this Q is for all btbs who hav MTM either ur WG/EG?
How do you communicate 'gently but firmly' 2 e BS tat u prefer e gown 2 b kept exclusively till ur AD?

Itz common practice for some BS to offer their MTM gowns 4 other brides 2 try on or even wear them on their AD?! Even though this is jus not right, but truly, such things do happen...

So Im curious 2 find out on behalf of my galfrien (she mtm a EG n her AD is in Dec 2008) if we can do anything abt it.

Thanz a mil on her behalf.

Hi crispy, sorry 2 hear of ur frustration...well..looking on e brighter side... @ least it took place during food tasting...not on AD.
U still hav time to straighten up e menu w them...in wat way did e dishes not up 2 std? No need 2 mention hotel.

Hi queenie, great look!

 

[glenlyn_lyn]

hihi.. rach (raragal) and all brides out there...

txs so much for ur help. my email or msn is [email protected].

i got a date for my PS is on 9th apr. and also my hotel which is meritus mandarin ask us to go for tasting by end march. was thining c rush lei. and april need to go print cards and inserts at T-dragon liao.. so fast huh?

Btw, u knw hw much is 1 inserts cost? i have 40 tables. so mus print hw many inserts huh?

we have buy bed yet. nw i m helping my hubby pack room, cos we wil staying with his parents 1st.

also haven find shoe yet.. reently went city plaza, cant really nice one.. my BS designer ask me buy 4inch shoe lei.. but i find some of the 4 inch shoe heel v v thin lei.. so diff to walk .. anyone out ther got recommendations whr to buy? i need silver or champagn gold heels and a pair of red heels too.. i prefer those bling bling type.. any kind souls knws?

 

[msclaire]

hey xinglin, i stay kinda opposite vista point. woodlands flats are big, so that's a great choice. heheh...not sure if we talked before...heh

 

[raragal]

LSnTYL> ooh okie.. we prob can meet up or something.. hehe.. which BS are u from ah??

Gina> nope..only going to MTM EG.. hehe..

So we settle on sat high tea?? any cheap and good suggestion?? how abt 29th Mar? else we gotta make it April liaoz..

 

[raragal]

zen, qianqian. gleniyn> you've got mail..

thias> ooh.. okok... sorry cant be of help this time..

gleniyn> i think spore inserts is more ex... if u are going to JB, its just RM$100 for 300 inserts...
if you have 40 tables, depending on how many are family and how many are frens... frens u invite couples or alone... so u can roughly gauge from there... usually is about 60-70% of ur guest list... coz immediate relatives no need invites also for the girl's side.... so maybe u can print about 300-320 inserts for spare in case write wrongly..

 

[green_tranquility]

I can't make it on 29 March afternoon. Think u gals go ahead meet without me. It's hard to arrange a time that all of us can meet.

 

[glenlyn_lyn]

oh okok.. wow u r fast.. i received ur mail liao... txs!

btw, u knw where to print in JB?

 

[raragal]

remember to miss us when u r there

 

[providencia]

sotong, i see, but i feel US market will go into a recession soon (that's my gut feel, I'm no market analyst) GSS will be a gd time to get ur long awaited ring.

xinglin, i have the same problem, i crack my knuckles too, so my rings are all loose, cos of my big knuckles.

Flora, ya, GSS is a good time to buy rings, a lot of discount.

Lee Hwa is closing the Emerald branch, offering discounts up to 80%. Nec, u go and try ur luck there.

Shybride, $400?? How many jiemeis do you have?
