(2008) Brides of year 2008

[mary_poppins]

Wah Meiling, how can you manage to change into 10 gowns? Are you intending to get a lot of photos? You are really very involved in getting yourself pretty for the big day!

Hi shybride, I have added you in multiply, please accept the invitation. Looking forward to see your photos. Hmmm, I agree with the ladies here that veryfatgirl is totally the opposite of you and many of us here might be tempted to "bash" you up. Sounds threatening rite??? Hahaha...

Hi nelle, you are really very brainy. My HTB will be proud of me if I am so calculative and spend wisely. Too bad, I am calculative but I don't spend wisely...

 

[shybride]

xinyi i have engaged the same MUA u recommended.. hee hee.. for my mum, sister & MIL.. so happy to find 1 that's affordable! by the way how did u decide on her? did u meet up with her?

gals i have accepted all of u on multiply

 

[shybride]

thanks for the compliments ladies

i m looking forward to seeing your photos when the time comes too

cutephinphin, are you on multiply? if you are,just add me ([email protected]) then can see the photos le

history of veryfatgirl: more than 10 yrs ago, when internet first started, my skinny brother chose veryfatman as our joint email addy. So when i got my own a/c, i decided to follow the 'family tradition' haha. that's why

providencia, the EG colour hor, my designer at TWP at first kept saying so red gotta wear sunglasses and he convinced me to go for a less 'glaring' red. But in the end, he decided to use the bright red instead.. dunno why haha.

the short dress is MTM at TWP too. i wanted to take some PS photos in short dress cos i think quite nice.. but couldn't find a nice dress OTR. my designer is Patrick

jac, my PG is Andrew Tay from The Edge. I really love him very much lor. Very easy to get along with so my fiance & i enjoyed the PS very much.

i had 2 bouquets cos the PS was spread over 2 days.. bcos it rained on the 1st day.. :/

yep my fren's chat with the neighbors was quite fruitful. And u get to have a sense of ur potential future neighbors too!

yeah lor, meiling, i also wanna ask same question as marypoppins.. how do u change into 10 gowns??? u mean for PS or AD??

 

[raragal]

Gina> hehe.. extract is the first word. living is the 2nd word. can't post out the name. hahaha...
can...it might be better if u all meet up with him la... coz he need to know the measurement also ma..

haha..2nd floor out of 4 floors.. mid level loh.. hahha...
Yup..2nd appt at HDB coming Monday..
But seller wanna stay 2 more weeks.. so end Apr then can get keys... sigh....

u all should exchange ur numbers by PM-ing one another la...

 

[shybride]

oh yeah meiling i invited u on multiply.. u got receive?

by the way jac, the photos were not spontaneous at all.. they just LOOK spontaneous haha..

 

[green_tranquility]

Gina,
Actually the renov cost will depend on what we expect for the house.

Ya let's PM each other. Dun post hp no here.

 

[~sblbee~]

providencia,
dun worry, i bet d gowns will turn out well n i'll go wahhhhh again when i see ur final gown

hehehe, i wont add any more gowns le, more gowns means more pics n more pics means more $....have to learn frm our dear nelle on how to b more thrifty n save $, else my fh gona kill me

nelle,
u r really cute leh...drming abt property can give u a high feeling...im dreaming of being a TOTO winner or a winner of big sweep but after buying a couple of times for d sake of fun....lady luck dun seem to b on my side so i gave up

shybride,
i rcved ur invitation in multiply n accepted liao

i saw ur pics le...v nice wor, ur gowns r so pretty n u look so beautiful....really makes us envious....u see lah? told u d d email n nick will sure make us wana strangle u...but den all of d gals who went for d 1st gathering r v slim except for me i agree wif providencia dat ur short gown is nice, is it frm ur BS?
oh...d 10 gowns r for my PS, my AD will only have 5 gowns max. excluding my own CS

mary poppins,
hehehe...d 10 gowns r for my PS (both indoor n outdoor cos i'll b doing over 2 separate days)...no lah, im dat sort who cant make up my mind dat's y ended up topping up more gowns...hopefully d gowns will distract ppl frm my imperfection e.g being too fat n ugly... i have set aside $3K more for topping up of pics but i'll guz it'll cost more...

 

[princess_sue]

thanks gals. Yah..its indeed a nice bd gift.

hahaha i wonder how long i will stay motivated though hahahaha. my bf was laughing at me when i tell him a month later he will hear me say ' XIAN" again hahaha

 

[~sblbee~]

sue,
glad u had a wonderful bday celebration n sure u'll b pleasantly surprised when u celebrate alone wif ur bf tonite

y r u sian? for me, i'll b motivated by d drive of $ esp during tis yr...$ means a lot to me to pay off d wedding expenses...hehe, im such a $ face

 

[providencia]

shybride,i think the shade of red is very nice, u so fair, can take the colour, that's why ur designer is a designer mah. End product nice can oreadi!

Jac, i worse than u, i already eyeing the plot of land that i want to stay in if ever i have enough money and i got primary schools all planned out.
Nelle, i share 2 common traits with u - kiasu and kiasee. lol.

MeiLing, I'll just have to trust him (afterall, he doesn't come cheap). How u going to fully utilise the 5 gowns + CS during AD? Tell us leh, it's like a fashion show.

 

[msclaire]

shy, your pictures were really gorgeous! I think if I were you, I would be really tempted to topup many many photos!

actually for the longest time i've been telling my fh that i must stay at toa payoh so that we can send our kids to the good schools in the area. There's no compromise when it comes to children's education. That's why this time round I'm a little reluctant to ballot for north-west areas. Then again, its near our parents' homes so maybe our chance of actually owning our own place is to ballot for such ulu places near parents' homes. But i really want to stay in tpy!!! sigh.

 

[xinyi_reiko]

morning ladies..

shybride, i just surf around multiply and this forum.. i have asked the pricing for quite a no. of MUA. So find her pricing affordable, portfolio also looks ok. I nv meet her up before.

 

[xinyi_reiko]

[sugar1937]

Hi all ladies,

I'm new here, hope to join you all.Nice to meet u.

Im getting ROM in JULY 08 &amp; customary April 09 but seems like there's no thread on April 09 brides. I haven started any preparations &amp; now seems like there's so much sourcing preparations getting panicky.

Can someone give me some advices on any recommendations on bridal shop? May I ask usually on ROM , do brides do own make up or does bridal shop covers this/hairdo?

Pls give me some tips &amp; hope I can be considered a July bride too keke. Is there a meetups where brides to be meet up? I really ver lost in directions. What's the lead time usually to start sourcing bridal &amp; hotels?

Thanks!!

 

[dodolet]

Cool! Shy, Very nice pic. I wish wish wish I can be abit towards ur size can liao.

Meiling, err I think hor, no more Wedding clothes trying for you liao, unless it is for altering for fiting. LOL. I stay in NE side leh. pretty nice area. ^^

nelle, yeah I also wanna my own Pte Pty. Now need to get a cheap 4Rm to settle myself first. >.<

 

[raragal]

green> ya loh.. like we are doing quite major hacking and knocking of our house.. so it costs ard $30k... for just a 3 room.. hehe..

Soyabeans> haha.. told u liaoz.. we made the appt then canceled it.. coz we think think no point go unless we have that money to spend. but definitely no doubts abt their works..
you can check out injack studio loh.. a fren uses theirs. looks not bad..

YL> nope leh.. coz it was negotiated.. and just 2 weeks. we okay loh. coz initially we told them we no hurry to move in... so they can take their time..and we managed to deduct $1000 off with that loh.. coz he wanted $13k cash initially... we asked for $12k COV and he sold it to us...

Hahaha.. u funny leh.. u can stand at the exit towards the coffeeshop... can sit at the stone parapet there.. means when u come out from the control station, just continue walking straight.. no need to turn right or left..

[fumiko_neko]

once out of MRT control station, DONT turn left or right..
walk straight, u will see a coffeeshop and a POSB ATM machine on ur right, then continue to walk straight but keep towards your left (if not will walk into hair saloon or a fruit stall or a mini book shop liao)
then you will see a carpark, then continue to walk straight and you will see the block number..

 

[waxie24]
