[lsntyl]

meiling>Thanks! Your CS are nice! I tried on a blue lace CS similar to yours yest. But the lace really made me itch so lace is out for me.

Actually, I went down to M&M a few times le. Either Nicole not there or they too busy to serve me. Yest was the first time I got to sit down and discuss with Nicole what I like. But I'm hesitating between M&M and Tan Tan. I like the more contemporary designs at Tan Tan but all their CS are OTR. Their current collection is also not so suitable for tea-dress as colour is rather dark. Donno whether should wait for their new collection or go ahead and make a CS with M&M.

Florabliss>my multiply id is ilynt1. Thanks.

msclaire>hmm, is there another special date? Maybe must prod him a bit.

 

[providencia]

msclaire, ur description of the CS is very funny, no 1 and 3 really cannot make it, so u have chosen the best of the lot.

Flora, got sunlight huh, then the colour must be as you remembered, but I do agree that you should go try it on again.

 

[lsntyl]

Kirei>You should try the vegetarian food at the temple near the buddha. V yummy. My parents loved it when I brought them there. Also, don't forget to shop at the shopping center at Tung Chung MTR since you are going lantau. Got a lot of factory outlets there.

Heard of the ç§æˆ¿èœ. Is supposed to be authentic meals served in HK house. The chefs supposed to be v good and ambience is more cosy since it is in a house. But I've never had the chance to try it.

 

[kitty_ng]

Hi xinyi, my RSVP oso a bit messy esp my hubby's side. Many still hav nt cfm cox he's inviting more pple than me. Hmmm...so cannot write invites yet.

Hi pjan, welcome to this thread

ade & thias, i think vouchers are a brilliant idea. A lot easier. Are you all taking block leave before your AD?

 

[cyc]

uk, me and FH alr trying to conc spending on a citibank card to earn points to get free air ticket! hee.. gg to apply for taka credit card too so that can buy things and get discount.

oh.. tks uk for info on sale and furniture places.

ladies, btw, me and FH bought our sofa from Courts last weekend. they are having a sale on sofa.. it's really a steal! do check it out.. we got a 6/8 seater.. (will post on multiply soon) for $1.6k. original was $3.6k.. looked ard at other places and noticed that sofa usu ard that range..

 

[lexilicious]

cyc,
my first fitting with TC is like in June at least... my PS is in July. Maybe you better call your BS though

the furniture mall is around beach road area, kinda near the Concourse and the Park Royal hotel there.

ukfung,
I stay near Katong Mall and have never found the place vaguely even nice to go - full of cheapo furniture shops and stuff.. hate the place.. LoL i'm not applying for new credit card because we're payign with DBS - our current banquet rates only apply to DBS cards but I understand that you can apply for double points for wedding with DBS.

funlover
from what I understand for a temporay quickfix to sweaty palms is to inject Botox into the palms instead of a major surgery. If sweaty palms really bother you, you can consider this option

cheryl
erm, are you Summer on facebook?

If not, can just email me at [email protected] .. if anyone wants to add me on MSN, that's the same address too

Addy
About GDL, if your family is traditional (and groomof course), you can just buy the whole set fo stuff from Chinatown.. eg the basins etc, Usually they will sell them all packed nicely... the stuff that you buy separate are usually the ones you wanna use for personal use eg bedsheet blah blah.

Sue
You're back! Wow you sound like you had a gorgeous time for your PS

Heheh so excited for you, can't wait for your pics to be all done!

 

[necrosis]

wei wei ladies..

you all post so fast, pple here slow...read one post and forget the others.

msclaire,
my proposal is not done yet too!! lol...

 

[raragal]

YL> wah... hehe.. okay.. cool! hehehe.. we'll show u our design when it is out.. we can go in and print together la..
yeah.. will show my photos after ROM..
yup.. got facebook.. but hor... too complicated.. so dun use it.. ahha...

 

[xinyi_reiko]

i am taking blk leave.. already apply liao.. my AD on the 12th.. so taking around 1 week leave from the 6th.. how abt you?

 

[necrosis]

LSN,

i've invited you to multiply.

hoohooo....erm...yeah i was wearing the pink fuschia dress in the tiny shop...
there was another girl + her mom + her sis also at the same time.
she was also trying some pink things.
she's the slim one.
anyway, the tube dress is very plain hor? and can see all my extra padding on my tummy n arms.

(btw, her CS arent nice, but a few bM/ROM dresses there were very nice)

 

[necrosis]

prov,
i think i missed an impt post of your 20k holiday.
i must have fainted.

heehee...
wow.
bet you'll never forget the holiday then!!

 

[princess_sue]

hi cyc/ lex/ uk, ya indeed it was fun ytd... and not to mention tiring as well .

but then its really a once a lifetime experience hehe

 

[uk_fung]

lex din know katong mall is that bad... I only know there is one mega store inside that sell italy furniture.. not sure if is that low standard... then where to get furniture better?

then the DBS u can have double pt is coz of the promotion or normal case also can use?

Cyc, u are welcome... citi bank also can earn tickets ar? which airline? and u know what's the convert rate for redeem? hee hee was thinking on the Kris flyer Amex card

 

[necrosis]

mary,
i'm not to concerned abt my waistline, it's the spare tyres that bug me.
if i sit and dont have folds of fats, i'll be so happy, regardless of inches.
must do more cardio to burn some of these stubborn fats.

msclaire,
be careful of the eyeshadow...
i've seen some er....malay ladies with eyeliner that's used like eyeshadow...
VERY distracting!!! lol...
anyway, your CS adventures are so fun!! hawaii print?? heheheh.....gold n white sounds like a class act.

 

[bedazzle]

Kirei, waxie, soyabean, fortunemeow,
You all cannot fight with me. My photoshoot is on 18 JULY!!!!! haha.. I'm the latest!

Rach,
Try detoxing... maybe can lose 0.5 inch. haha... Any photos of your new gown?

 

[gingerbread_gal]

wow, so many posts!!!

Someone mentioned that even mtm didn't fit as well as the OTR gown tried...is that possible? cos i thot mtm is meant to be fitting, really fitting....

hmmm, i'm getting excited over my fitting on thursday...esp after i saw someone from my BS posting up pics when she tried on various gowns....hmm, jus wondering how she got away with the photography

 

[gingerbread_gal]

oh, koyoyo, i realised i haven't added u in multiply...so i just invited you

 

[msclaire]

it was a figure of speech...and i am not the person to judge since im actually not doing mtm. But this CS was so fitting my htb kept poking my tummy. So if lose weight, then really really super fitting haah.

 

[~sblbee~]

lsntyl,
no prob

thanks for ur compliments! u shd go n scout ard for more choices if u r not comfy wif wat u saw...if time permits...if not den perhaps u have to make an appt wif nichola cos she's seldom ard one...i only see her once during my past 3 visits to m&m

jac,
gd luck for ur fitting on thu...hope u can find ur ideal gown n do keep us posted...best if wif some pics....we women can b visual animals too

 

[flora_bliss]

LSnTYL, I can only grant the access tonight when I go home coz my office actually banned the multiply website.

 

[gingerbread_gal]

Meiling,
thanks! actually i got the gown OTR already in dec...just that my designer is adding more stuff to it to make it the 'perfect' one

so am going to see how the gown is on thurs and also to see if i shld mtm EG. Yep, think i'll take a camera along...

Nec,
you have any pics of your fuschia dress? show us? that is a very stunning colour

msclaire...oh i see...i rem seeing a pic of my fren's fren in her mtm ROM dress and someone next to me said wow, it looks like that dress was made jus for her (he had no idea it was mtm)...since then, i think if i mtm any gown, i want to elicit the same type of reaction from ppl......i'm so vain

 

[nelle]

finally can get online! Still in Jakarta since fri evening...
oh ya, fiona, you envy the travelling?
Let me tell you the schedule, see you still think good.
Leave office on Fri late afternoon to airport, take plane, plane touch down, take 45min clear immigratn, blur client & her driver wait wrong place, then we go hotel check in and I have to have a obligatory dinner (smile, make small talk and poke the food about, cannot eat shiok shiok cos cannot talk with mouth full & teeth got food) with clients.
Sat/Sun/Today morning breakfast at hotel, client early early come, then meeting till evening. Lunch & dinner scenario (like Fri).

Something wrong with internet connection cos cannot go online most of the time. Can only surf sneakily now & then.

Tell you all, I am so dirty & unhygienic! When I hit the hotel room, I just quickly clean off makeup and I jump onto the bed, remove my clothes (still in lying position on the bed), pull the blanket up to the neck and sleep till morning then I bathe!! I don't know why I am so tired when nite comes, then in the morning, so talkative back again. hahaha...

shybride, thks!

Jac, I will post yours when I'm back in a couple of days.

 

[crown]

ladies,

do you think it's advisable to do my mani and pedi 1 week before my PS? cos my auntie is gg China on 19 May and she asked me to go over on 18 May to do it. My PS is on 24 May

 

[fumiko_neko]

unless u r v careful..
typing oso will affect mani..

pedi 1 wk b4 shldnt b a prob..
mani have to really take care..
no houseworks oso..

 

[praisey]

provid: fishy rubber, sharkfin soup and fish maw too chunky, and changing cripsy chix to spare ribs. need to re-do food taste again.

 

[fumiko_neko]

or if u r using those acylic ..then it shldnt have prob

 

[uk_fung]

sue happy for you... hee hee hope to see your pic soon

Addy.. the sweaty palm prob.. how about get a nice handkachief? maybe got lace lace one? hmmm but only use when u farewell lor.. your hubby will wear suit.. he will have pocket.. help u put one tiny one just in case OR u try and see if u got time.. wear the groove only during farewell.. no need wear the whole nite.. whole nite might end up like your friend say...

is not a very big issue.. dun worry too much.. ppl won't feel unhappy / spoilt their day with that hand shake

 

[waxie24]

ç§æˆ¿èœ is like paying to go ppl's house to eat.. very common in HK.. i went to this place http://www.yellowdoorkitchen.com.hk last yr.. ard SGD$50 per pax.. very cozy.. have tried the local version of ç§æˆ¿èœ at Xiyan.. i still prefer the HK's version i had..

manicure can last longer if you apply a layer of clear coat once every 2-3 days..

 

[crown]

is it waxie? then i can ask my auntie to do for me then i apply clear coat every 2 day

like that i can save more, anyway she is doing mani/pedi service. i just pay her $30 and she do the nail art for me free

 

[bibi_tay]

Hi Rach, yah my PG and VG will be from Motion Image. How about yours?

 

[providencia]

nec, don't like that suan me, i totally regretted that holiday. ha ha

oh yes, post up your dress leh, my EG is also fushia pink.

Jac, not vain, everyone wants to look their best on the wedding day.

nelle, i thot why u missing for so long, so u are travelling again, and in Jakarta again! gd to hear from u, how come always Jakarta? Ur posts always so funny. Aiyah, sleep dirty dirty never mind, cos you did the most impt thing ie to remove all traces of makeup, in your fatigue, you still remember the crucial. Well done. A pat on the back.

Paisey, ur hotel allows re food tasting? I think mine cannot, if want to try again, then at own costs.

 

[lsntyl]

Dor>my PS in Sept, lagi late.

rach>sure, should be no prob going in together to print the AD cards. More fun too.

Crown>Pedi definitely no prob lasting more than 1 week but you must be careful with the mani. Maybe do more neutral colours so if accidentally chip won't be so obvious?

waxie>The food at Yellow Door Kitchen looks yummy wor

 

[lingelle06]

Hi Rachel

You can try getting your shoes from Bugis, at the marketplace near Burger King (Opposite BHG). I got my wedding shoes from there. My pair comes with diamante and the best is, it costs me less than $40 =)

 

[~sblbee~]

jac,
wah....frm d way u described it, seems rather elaborated n detailed...makes me so eager to see ur completed WG...do remember to try to take some pics ok? wat do u have in mind for ur EG? any designs u like?

nelle,
wah...finally see u online le...tot how come u MIA? tot u kena kidnapped by aliens le...hehehe, so glad to see u back online though u r in jakarta...do try to come online more often, btw when will u b back?
hehehe....wah can really imagine u r doing all these but at d same time, luckily there's no flies hovering ur hair so u shd still b clean...mayb ur batt low so have to recharge by slping...d nxt day full bar liao so u bcome talkative again yah i agree wif providencia dat u shd b praised cos u can still remember to remove ur makep despite ur fatigue

providencia,
u mean u need to pay for dat? try to bargain for free...tot all hotels provide food tasting? my hotel provides food tasting foc for 10 pax...will try to arrange smwhere in sep

 

[lsntyl]

nec>should be you we saw then. The fuschia is nice but the design does look a bit plain. Maybe can dress up with some accessories? My friends and I were surprised to come across the shop at City Plaza. Some of her dresses are not bad! Quite classic designs.

20K holiday? wah, really envious. Didn't see the post. This thread moves too fast.

Meiling>I'm ok with M&M. Her designs are not bad. But just wondering if got other choices around. Both FH and I like Tan Tan's CS so a bit torn. Partly cos I can see and try on the CS at Tan Tan. With MTM at M&M, I can't quite visualise what I'll be getting. Think I'll prob end up making at M&M though.

Florabliss>no probs. thanks for letting me see your photos.

Jac>best of luck with your fitting.

 

[~sblbee~]
