Hi leely,

I agreed with you that most freelancers dun collect deposits but there are also many who does collect and print an 'agreement' for you to sign. But this doesn't mean that they won't run away. In fact, some of the 'companies' are not even registered hence the agreement is actually not very useful if legal action is involved.

Previously I met a PG who want to collect 50% deposit which is about $1000. But this is a new company hence both my FH and I have reservation cos' you never know what will happen half year later, right? But of course if u go for those big players in the market then no need to worry lor.

Currently, mine is a freelancer recommended by a friend. He didn't ask for any deposit and said that he is operating based on trust. Nonetheless, we have backup plan in placed in the event if he does not turn out.

Really depend on individual... (^_^)

kioko angel, have you done your food tasting? you can use that session for a parent meeting session.

Beauty world shopping center has a shop selling GDL stuffs. Other than that will be chinatown. Btw, buying all these things yourself is not "mei po". "mei po" is the one that comes along with guy side parents during GDL and AD.

I would suggest to ask both side parents first to prevent any misunderstandings. the website that rach gives is really good. you should spend 15 mins to read through. Else, bring parents to the GDL shop. People there will be able to give you all the advises.

I am also doing 1 man show. I also trying not to worry. I still headache over my guestlist. Worrying does not help. For me, I just do what ever I can. Those that I cannot control I will just leave it.

I would suggest you to gather your jiemeis or brothers to help out in your invites or other possible wedding preps.

Beside fancl drink or birdnest.. you also need to have plenty of rest and stress free.. So that you will be pretty ya..

Cheers.

FH and I are splitting the costs of the HM. I think no need to cut such a clear difference between his and my money.

jrgal>sayang. Maybe check out NATAS fair? Might have other promos. A friedn bought a air tix+accom package to Japan at the last NATAS fair. She said quite cheap.

The last time I went Japan, my friend and I took a NWA promo. Was the cheapest tix then. Think was 499 before tax. Maybe you can cross fingers NWA will have promo again?

spoiltbabe>don't forget NATAS charges $3 per entrance wor. :p

Personally, I think can get good bargains at NATAS if you know what you want and target that. Otherwise, not much use. The last time I went NATAS, I walked around the whole fair and couldn't find any FnE package I liked. Ended up wasting my $3 and packaging my whole FnE trip to Japan myself. :p

straylamb>Japan a bit far for budget airline lah. I will pengsan if I sit so long in plane without entertainment. :p

natas fair is not v cheap...e most $50-$100 discount only..
then if they liase with banks..eg citibank, then they say if u pay using citibank, only tat card holder got another $50 off..
so after all natas discounts are just these
and if u buy travel insurance..they will have AIG there and will give u 20% off..
like tat lo..

Hi kioko, u know the market beside chinatown OG? there's 2 shops on level 2 that sells the wedding stuff.. one is facing the green colour shopping centre (think it is called people's park complex).. there's 1 on level 2 of people's park complex too.

u will def need to get both sides to meet b4 hand to discuss abt no. of tables required by ur mum, no. of boxes of cakes ur mum wans etc etc.. n on the day of GDL ur in-laws will need to bring the cakes, liquor, oranges, pin jin etc over to ur place.

Mei, my parents and FH X the EG, sigh.. now i have to re try to get my EG. I need something tat can cover my B-ahem-B inuff to please the older folks. And some thing in Rich color except black. Headache ah.. but then at least my WG gotten my parents approval or else I will have opera act 1 to 10 from them when they see the foto shoots.

sotong dear,

i *totally* understand your points abt EG man.
i too have the same -ahem- problems.
not from my side, but my FH's more (much much more) conservative parents/relatives.
(but those bollywood stars wear so revealing also can, not fair!!!)

most prob will print in JB.
today, tot of naming all the table some of FH and i fave sitcoms , then our invites will be like tix to the emmy that kind.

and SOOOOOO many caterers have 8-9$ for 100 pax!!
if i've a 100 pax, no need scratch head so much now. they have wedding packages, so they include flowers and stuff and waive transport charges.

*guilty* still havent taken pics of the stuff i bought...

fiona, err change ahem to oo.

It is not so much of needing their approval, but it would be ezier for a long run if they approve the gowns, and not repeating that how come this so revealling, how come bao bah zhang, how come this and how come that. You know how some parents can be. So it is best at this stage to find something that we can compromise with, as in the style and the design and color. It is also a way to get my mom involved so that she will not feel left out of the whole wedding circus act.

Yeah, I hope i can get something i like, so far i can't find something i really would like though, as I dun like satin material.

ohh, now I understand. I'm having similar probs with the fabric of my EG. Don't like the colour the BS is providing. But recently went down to choose more colours so hopefully will be ok. The midnight blue colour I really wanted is out of stock though.

Kioko, try to cheer up. Dun be too stressed. Can you ask some of your jiemeis to help, like monitoring yr hse progress or moving in? So that you can focus on some other more impt stuff.

I'm oso slowly moving into my new hse but some of my electrical appliances are oso not here yet. Also having outbreak on my face due to stress & work

Hey FSS...It's never too late! This forum is for sharing anyway
happy.gif


I like doing crafts too, that's why I wanted to do the angpao box, corsages on my own. I'm a bit techy as well and wanted to do my own slideshow but then decided later I was doing too many things on my own.

We met up with my AD photographer for dinner last weekend to pass him the montage photos as well as AD program. He then told us to get more things to decorate the house. Make sure you decorate the main door and the room to your door so that the PG has more photos to take. Also buy a copy of that day's newspaper for him to take photo.

R&J... Definitely nosy relatives...

agree that natas isnt exactly cheaper.. my sister went there to look for FnE packages to Taiwan.. but she didnt find it cheaper.. in the end.. she DIYed her trip..

its a good place to gather information (if you are sure about going to 1 particular destination), as all the agencies are consolidated into 1 venue.. easier to compare..

but i prefer DIY trips, so i can have more control over $

Hi leely,

Just visited your multiply! Thanks for sharing ur PS. I am also considering having my PS at Sentosa Palawan Beach. Did u go on a weekend and what time r u there for the sunset?

Also, my PG&amp;VG price quite reasonable too. Do email me if you would like to explore. (^_^)

Btw, I just checked with Vivocity and understand that we need to get approval for photography within their premise including the sky garden.

pinjie>> Please DON'T go there on weekends / public holidays.. I went with my hubby to check out the place on Vesak Day and gosh, the crowd was terrible.. There's no way you can have PS then.. But yesterday (Monday) when we were there, it was a lot quieter.. But even then, we couldn't take photo on the bridge coz it was very crowded.. But we were just unlucky coz there happen to be a tour group there when we reached.. Later when we were on the tower, I noticed that at some points in time, the bridge was actually empty..

You need to reach Palawan beach by 6pm and hang around to wait for the sunset to appear.. It'll appear between 6-7pm.. Depends on the cloud formation for the day also, for us there was this big cloud blocking the sunset.. We had to wait quite long before the sun finally came out from under the big cloud.. The last pic we took of the sunset was at 7pm.. So anything later than that, you won't be able to capture the sunset.

straylamb>depends on your comfort level. I've gone twice diy to Japan and both my friend and I don't speak Japanese at all. Its quite easy to get around actually. But this is mainland Japan. Not sure about Hokkaido although i think should be similar.

Actually, sometimes can get good offers at NATAS. My friend purchased her HM trip to Europe at NATAS and managed to win a rebate from HSBC cos of NATAS promo. Also had cheap travel insurance then. Personally, I prefer DIY though so everytime I go NATAS, I walk out with nothing except lots of brochures that I end up throwing. :p

Thanks a lot, leely!

We intend to have our PS on a Friday. Oh gosh! I wonder would the crowd be comparable to weekend!

Though there are some clouds but still the backdrop is very nice... I believe the actual photo taken by ur PG would be even better...

Also the weather seems good during ur PS hence won't feel so uncomfortable in the gowns and suits bah...

But actually I am quite paiseh if people start 'staring'... Will tend to be very nervous and stiff...

Yup, the weather was good during our PS.. But it's still uncomfortable to wear the gown for long hours nevertheless.. Along the way the gown start to feel tighter and heavier.. And we were sweating like crazy.. My hubby had to wear the coat to hide his sweat (his shirt inside was totally wet).. Luckily sweat is not visible on our white gowns.. haha..

Just pretend the ppl are not there and focus on your hubby bah.. you'll be fine..

if i am not wrong, she charges $100 for double sided design. She has printer contacts, so she can also include printing for you.

=)i must say my MIL is nice n generous. she's a straight forward person. so might appear a bit fierce sometimes. but that's how she is. she's been making small talks too when i hang out with fh's family lately. and the siblings quite nice too. hope living with them will be easy and fun.

i just chose montage pics. deleted a lot and still have 75 pics. and i don't know what song to choose... headache!

ladies,
fernvale, seng kang, has this lighting shop that sells lighting at reasonable prices. i just ordered 3 hanging ceiling light at 230 each. and they're customised to the size i want. for the same size at balestier is abt 280+ and above. need lighting can check that shop out. =)

yeah wongfam, wat's ur budget for the PG?

btw, have you all bot the bedside lamp ar? my colleague jus told me today that one of her married frens told her that must buy the battery operated lamp, instead of the those electric kind. cos it's supposed to on the lamp til the batteries finish.

but hor, i tot only buy the electric ones, den jus let it on for 1 day 1 night, after the wedding, next day can remove liao?

scarly, the battery operated lamp ran out halfway then how? some batteries dun last very long.

how how ar?

leely: You're looking good in all the make up and hair-do. Thanks for sharing photos! I must remember to bring my own digicam to take some photos!! :p

And to everyone: You're all gonna be printing photobooks?? Sounds like fun (though a lot of work)...

Erlina: How much is the one from the website you recommended? 3 weekends to do requires quite a bit of stamina lorr...Don't know if I'm up to it! But maybe can get the PS photos...Then that'll be great...

luvz: Thanks for asking for me! But I guess I'm not intending to spend so much on my invites!! Haha...Spending too much money for the wedding already laaaahhh...

Opps! mi mountain tortoise eh, i never been to natas fair before. Still got $3 charge??? geez....

its easy to go F&amp;E in taiwan, no problem getting around and even you cant find the place just ask the people they are willing to give you the answer.

ahnet:
i saw the lamps at chinatown but aint sure if it is battery operated or electricity. Battery one is better isnt it? More mobile :p Get those better batteries should be able to last few weeks bah.
