[lsntyl]

A friend stayed at Banyan Tree in Bangkok. Said it was v good.

 

[jule]

All the best, gals... Im getting stressed too, as many things still not done yet.

 

[cyc]

hi michelle..

koyoyo, how was ur PS? had fun?

any of you taking collagen? was with HTB at OG yesterday and saw Meiji collagen.. then he bought it for me. trying out to see if it works.. any feedback?

 

[cfay]

Hihi,

I am planning to stay in Banyan Tree in Bangkok, does anyone stay and has experiences there before?

From the website it sounds like a business working area for businessman to stay and is far away from the airport, do you think is it a best place to stay. I know there are many hotels in Bangkok but i just want to have a memorable 1st trip with my HTB in Sept. Actually, my purpose is to stay in Banyan tree, but other places of banyan tree is damn expensive as compare with Bangkok. Therefore, can anyone give me some advise?

If you have been there before, can you please share your experiences with me, thanks.

 

[piyo21]

That's true. Even each pose should be cheaper compare to SG.
Mine 6 outfits already have 55 poses liao.

 

[waxie24]

crown> u ordering cards+inserts or print direct from cards?? if its cards+inserts, then get 5-10% more inserts.. if in the end realy not enough hor.. my mm say closer relatives can dun give.. jus let them know when n where..

 

[msbean]

Me also have same problem , all cant confirm as they say too early to ask lor . bo bian la print extra in case .

 

[sleepyhello]

hi all, ROMing in aug too.

Calvin> Did you make a arrangement to meet Mr Chia? Cause I got him to be my solemniser too.

 

[polarwhite80]

hi cheryl,
PS photos r out already.... now they r doing the editing n layout... but i dun have the soft copies yet.... r u esummer in multiply ??

 

[waxie24]

erm.. maybe friends can send e-invites instead?

 

[lsntyl]

I think its always best to print extras just in case of errors. I've also scanned my ROM invite and sent them to some of my friends.

 

[berry_egg]

woo....really the final countdown for 678 brides.

Dun stress yourselves up ya.

 

[calvinz21]

sleepyhello,

thanks for ur concern! i've recovered le....my voice is more or less back to normal le except for a bit of cough....v tired, wana go back n slp today....not enuff rest during d wkend, hope to see my wedding invites soon

michelle,
i think u r one of d fastest brides here who have everything prepared well in advance apart frm mrs chiew, must really follow ur example but had no time to complete d tasks dat we were supposed to do....

 

[ebride]

yap polar..tats me. So when will they be ready?

Cyc: No idea..my FH also ask me take coz he saw i gt stretch marks. Izt a daily dosage, hw many times a day?

 

[jo_vin]

Hi gals! Been a long time since my last post. Hehe.. Practically have finished quite much stuffs le. Taken all my PS, now waiting to see all the designs then sent for printing n can collect album le.

Wah, blanqq, u are really very late! Haha.. U can confirm ur PG & VG le. Most of us confirm way back. When's ur actual date btw? U also need to do your photo montage (those childhood to adulthood) if you plan to put it during ur dinner. And how about florist? Need to source for one too.

 

[shinni85]

Erm...not so bad...but just the part on meeting their family members more often.
* i dunno when to do what, when not to do what so it makes me more nervous when meeting up with them.

how about u PSH?

 

[blanqq]

my AD is on 15 nov, photo montage will be done by a frd, florist? must i? i tot, restaurant will do for u..

 

[cyc]

cheryl, its once a day.. wah.. can help with stretch marks ah? didn't know that. maybe next time after give birth must take double the dose to remove all the stretch marks.. ;p

 

[quickymon]

many thanks Girls =) yah..tried to get all done on the same day so that can relax and rest after the wedding day!!

 

[koyoyo]

cyc,
I tried fancl collegen it works well but super exp if purchase here.. thinking of switching to meiji hopefully it a cheaper alternative i know meiji this brand is rather stable....

 

[koyoyo]

cyc ,
there are many creams in the market that promise to cure stretch marks. But my fren tried say no use. Some fren claim it better to have a malay lady do the tradditional wrap during ur "zhuo yue" month.. i am not 100% sure if it work. But it something that we can try when are we are going to be mothers..

 

[jrgal]

pornpimol: Which church are you getting solemnised at? Are you done with the programme preparation and all of that?

koyoyo,

ya, my frens claim that the wrap is good too and helps you slim down

 

[pinjie8275]

Hi Eunice

Yes, I picked all the outfits. I actually gave up some of the outfits cos' too many liao. hehehe...

1st day, I reached the studio at 9.30am for MU then went outdoor till 12am plus then return... 2nd day also reached at 9.30am for MU and stayed till about 10pm then finished... Very long hours, right? My own camera already took 400 over candid photos... Dare not imagine the amt of photos taken by the PG... -_-!!!

I am actually quite surprised that each oufits' photography style and backdrop are totally different.

Hi Ling Ling, each pose at JB is much cheaper than in SG. Probably 50% difference bah... But my BS quite flexible cos' if select extra a few poses, they will close 1 eye... Not so calculative I must say... (^_^)

 

[necrosis]

sorry sorry.
my grand aunty passed away on tues night, so fri nite still having the wake, plus was moving house over the weekend.
kinda hectic week for me lah.

next time will *really really* try to make it.
so nelle,
when is the next outing?

 

[eunicet]

pin&jie: Quick, put up your photos for us to see!! So in the end, after giving up some of your outfits, you still had 9?? So exciting lor, the photo viewing later! The BS in Singapore really quite competitive...But I guess I do quite like my BS style because they are not asking I pick by poses...I have 24 pages of different poses, but not one pose per page...Anw I have the raw CD back, so it's good!

 

[crown]

Frankly speaking, now left less than 2 and a half mth for us. He only know how to watch tv and play games…. Sigh. Even the date for the bed frame to deliver also don’t want to decide. Today I jus told him off, why not we leave everything till the last day before the wedding day then do. Last min mah, that’s what he always like to do

 

[leely]

Eunice>> I envy you! My BS also said the same thing to me when I signed my package.. That I have 28 pages and any number of pose per page.. But during photo selection, they say my package is 28 poses only.. Had a huge quarrel with them over it and still very angry when I think about it.. But since the photos are nice, my hubby says give them the credit for hiring the right PG / MUA.. so just pay the money lor..

 

[pinjie8275]

Hi Eunice, the photos are up! (^_^)

My BS actually gave me 7 studio gowns and 3 outdoor gowns. Then I have my own 1 WG and 1 cheongsum. Hence total 12 outfits!

By right, my pktg only include 2WG, 2EG, 2 traditional and 1 outdoor.

I thought they will just touched up my makeup and hairdo during the PS... Din't expect them to really change so many different hairstyles to match the outfits...

 

[eunicet]

leely: Ohh, so that was what the argument was about huh...Yikes. So unethical...But I also read on your site that you do appreciate the MUA and the PG, so glad your experience was sweetened by them...And I'm sure your photos will turn out really good! Probably nicer than mine! Yi4 fen1 qian2, yi4 fen1 huo4!

 

[rjwedding]

now it's officially 1st of July.. FSS must be very excited now..

To all July BTB & GTB, all the best!! Jia you lor!!

Can you all give me advise on what wedding gift my company can give me?? budget $100, no cash & voucher.. i really don't have any idea leh..

 

[eunicet]

Hahaa, looks like everyone is online...

pin&jie: Wow, so nice of them hor! Good for you! They're so generous and so kind! Btw, I'm looking at your photos now! Wow, really got a lot of different outfits hor! Nice!! Will leave more comments there!

 

[pinkcupcake]

Hi chimes, have two in mind - fort canning (by the cupolas) and St theresa church (exterior only). Eh, quite run-of-the-mill kind of places, but i like greenery and old, old buildings. heh heh. Leaving the third option to my photographer and see what he recommends.

have you had yours? Any strong recommendations?

 

[polarwhite80]
