[shi40lin]

shybride, today is your PS ah? Hope you'll enjoy ya.
I din noe the body shop (TBS) has such services wor.
I did my back treatment at Body Wellness.
They extract if necessary, scrub, lastly put on a back mask. Did once and see improvement to my back. Thinking should try TBS. Are you going?

Meiling thanks! Genting is real cold this time. Shiok!

Jac, so how is it like going to drx clinic for the first time? Consultation first ma then followed by special facial treatment ah?

 

[koyoyo]

So gers what the topic for today? Btw, did anyone comment on darlin Lex's fh foto.. i was too busy to visit forum to read all the post...

 

[flora_bliss]

meiling, you are right, I'm eyeing on a tennis bracelet. I simply can't forget the full tennis bracelet that I've seen at Lee Hwa last mth. I think you know which one I'm referring to. And I'm making a trip down to the Emerald outlet to see if there's any nice catch.

 

[shi40lin]

Oh...we are kinda near ya. But I will be staying nearer to woodlands mrt....the blue and white blocks

In between mrt and vista pt.

This is your new flat or parents'?

We have the same wedding date also. Sicali we will bumped into each other on the day? Haha....

 

[msclaire]

[queenie10]

Hi ET,
thks for ur compliments...ur MUA will definetely do a great job too,so no worries.Btw r u in my multiply, if not can add me.

Hi Crispy,
i order 30 bottles from Nicholas at Vivocity last nite,brought home 2 bottles & tried it at home.Everyone says the wine is smooth & nice....i'm getting the cabernet (medium bodied) instead of the merlot (more fruity) / Shiraz (more spicy).Its really a great buy so better go down make pymt 1st so they can keep the stock for u.

Gals,
can share how many bottles of wine u all r planning to have per table. I've bought 2 bottles/table as i also have free flow of beer....dunno the red wine is enough if my banquet falls on sat.

 

[shybride]

providencia i agree with meiling, the diamonds look big!!

xinglin glad to hear that body wellness's back treatment is effective.. but is it comfy too? how's the service? how much ah? yep i m going to try make appt at TBS for this weekend.

here's the pendant. it's a cube of a double happiness word. white gold plated ($40) + chain ($28) x 6

 

[nelle]

I am confused by the posts liao..haha...

qinying, at macpherson area. The week went past so fast! See you tonight.

provi, cos the flat unit I've gotten is a very small 3 room flat at $154.5k. CPF enough to fully pay so no need to take loan.

Jac, for uneven pigmentation on face, I do not know of any pdt that can remove, except laser. Pdts can reduce but must use over a period of time. For me, I use pdts under Artistry. But over 2-3 years liao, so can see the difference.

 

[~sblbee~]

providencia,
heheheh....well at least they add up to more than 1 carat...but mine...nah i got thick n short fingers like d taiwanese sausages
no lah, i havent been buying jewellery as much as in d past cos i prefer to spend d $ on bags nowadays *oppss...oso have to cut down now*

xinglin,
no problem....so wat have u been up to? wah u gals really splurge on ur wedding....hehe, i guz i have a hairy back too but well, it's part of my trait to complement my hairy arms so im not doing anything abt it

[luvz17]

shybride, the pendant is nice. and you are giving angbao on top of that? what is the market rate for jm's angbao? I think i will have 6 of them too...

over the discussion of CS and kua.. i thought of CS too but my big arms and broad shoulder, dun think will look nice in that. so..i will stick to kua then..

i m putting a stop in sourcing for my wedding thingy. coz busy looking around resale flat during weekends, and it always passes v fast. once weekend is over, i m busy w work.. seldom visit this thread as well..

 

[msclaire]

haha no leh....we're both cantonese, but cos we went to this master who gave us that timing...in fact the timing is damn tight....the auspicious hour is 6.05 to 8am. which means fh must light candle, leave his house, gatecrash, meet me, leave for his house, walk 100 steps in auspicious direction for 100 steps under his house, offer tea to his parents and leave by 8am.
WAH!!! dunno possible anot.......

 

[shi40lin]

shybride, isnt today your photoshooting?
The gift is nice leh. I'm still thinking what to get for my JMs too.

My fren bot us a crystal bracelet with Belinda from Loeandbehold. She sells accessories too. Just nice, we wore that for her dinner

I duno is it Body Wellness back treatment good or my back is not that jia lut. Sometimes, the bumps at the back comes and goes. Aiya i'm not blessed with good complexion....same to the back >.<
Overall the service at BW is ok. I'm using my membership package for the treatment, which cost around $40 actually. I've got a good deal for the package that time when my fren referred me.

Hey shybride, you feedback the service at TBS ya. Me considering too!

Jac, why dun try IPL for pigmentation?

[luvz17]

time for fetching bride is 7-11am, but gotta go around to 3 plcs...my plc, his plc n our new plc..have to travel fm queenstown &amp; hougang..duno enough time or nt.

 

[lexilicious]

Got my pre-wedding photographer done - settled for Stephen from Lyrical Moments .. he's a rather nice chap and FH confirmed him on the spot yesterday evening.. PS will be in July... finally something else settled...

 

[lara]

shybride > hope u haf fun today!!

actually i think T Dragon is quite expensive but coz we r lazy so we juz let them settle everything for us

 

[~sblbee~]

uksportgal,
u can negotiate for d softcopies back wif a price

lex,
congrats on confirming ur VG! i'll update d table for u hor....

 

[nelle]

xing, not financially free yet! Still need to work to pay for food..hahaha....
Just feel more assured that if me &amp; partner are both out of work at the same time, still can hold on to the house.
Yah, 3 roomers got more foc conservancy charges and rebates (eg. SP bills etc.)

luvz, usually mkt rate for jiemeis is $80-$120 as they spend early morning till midnight (esp for those tea ceremony &amp; dinner on same day) helping you. Furthermore, they also have to give angpao to you for your wedding dinner.
For the brothers entourage, it is about $100-$160 esp if they drive.

 

[~sblbee~]

lex, sorry...it's ur PS PG typo...

 

[dodolet]

Pengz. everyone so early 1.

Mine will start at 11am. Gatecrash, going his place, serve tea, go my place serve tea all should be completed by 3pm bah..

We still got 1+ hr to breath and zz abit somemore.

My church wedding I purposely set at 5pm to start so that we have lots of time to waddle ourselves to church.

msclaire and luvz17 must invest more in eye treatment liao.. so early sure eye like -_-

 

[xinyi_reiko]

Lara, how much does it cost?? should be around the market price? $100 for 200 pcs??

 

[uksportgal]

[~sblbee~]

lurvz17,

[waxie24]

[nelle]

haha....MeiLinG..now you know how come I am so Kiam Siap on alot of things...hahahaha.....
You sometimes see those rich people a little thing also want to save rite? Maybe that's why they can save so much $$ and we all...sigh...everything also have/want to buy.

 

[polarwhite80]

[tinkybell]

Sue, u should be at the airport by nw huh...

Meiling, fancl is calorie control is gd? i also wanna try.. btw, wat other products do u recommend.

Lex, u sure that is u in the pic..

 

[graceyong]

sotonglet, where is your church wedding? hehe

luvz17, fetching the bride is not so important, it is the TIME that you enter the Guys house which is very important. The auspicious time that you enter. so make sure you enter like 10.30am to your New place (where your new bed is) then it is OK.

So bascially you hubby come to your house at 7, gate crash 30 mins and then go to your room. so leave your house by 8 am then should be Ok. How come go to his place? Usually his family would at your New place (if this is for the tea ceremony).

 

[koyoyo]

haha lex,
Even though you started your wedding preparation late , u got most thing settle faster den me..Uksportgal normally the bs only return u the softcopy of your ablum of which u can use those as photo montage as for those foto tt u didnt confirm they most prob wouldnt give it to you. and when they say $75 it about $75 to 90 for an extra page of photo to your ablum

 

[uksportgal]

my friend case now is even those selected one also dun have soft copy!... abit too much right? ok la.. maybe not ALL the pic should be given back.. but those selected one should lor.. she thinking of changing the PS liao.. coz is seperated from her BS so still ok..

 

[msclaire]

we need small little toothpicks to keep the eyes open

 

[koyoyo]

hmm uksportgal,
HOw come your fren ps is different from her bs? Kindly explain?

 

[uksportgal]

Plan for oversea PS before but due to time constrain they decided to take local.. and that time she already got her BS liao... so.. she prefer to get another PS which pic and style v nice...

 

[~sblbee~]

tinkybell,
i juz started taking dat....so i guz it makes me feel better dat my calories intake r sorta reduce i guz for losing weight, their recommendation is still their HTC drink ba

uksportgal,
ur fren got her PG separately frm her BS? tot usually these kind of PG usually will return u all d softcopies de cos u paid for their services...if not, shd negotiate b4 confirming them cos my fren got all her softcopies back

 

[raragal]

gleniyn> hope you received the resent one..

 

[nelle]

or else, Meiling, if your budget is a bit tight after the wedding, you can consider to have a shorter honeymoon this year to nearby place (eg. bali, phuket, krabi, etc.). Next year (after you get the 2008 bonus) then you go to the places you like to go lor.

That's what I was planning. I will book a suite/villa at a 2 to 3star resort rather then paying for the same amt of $ to stay in a superior room in a higher end resort and treated like one of the 'budget' guests.

 

[uksportgal]

the prob is the PS one is another BS kind of studio.... so.... yar.. hahaha see how lor maybe she will change...
