[lsntyl]

waxie>the URL is http://www.singaporebrides.com/cgi-bin/forumboard/show.cgi?1/325698. Not sure when the spree will finally kick off though as we are waiting to see if the SG Nubra shop can match the price of the US shop.

 

[annabella]

Hi Mrs Chiew,

Thank you. Yup it's Dixxx. Yup, they did mention top up but I'm not willing to. My overall package is over 5k plus, I dun see the pt to top up any. I only have 1 big album, the small album is foc in the original package.

The album cover design comes with a bit of design but we think it's not nice at all. not easy to convince my co-ordinator but we'll try again when we meet up next week.

 

[crown]

YL,

My initial plan was to go Europe but now going Europe is impossible cos I think it will go up to $5000plus per pax. So both of us decided to go Japan Hokkaido for Scenery and eat seafood and Taiwan for me to shop and him to eat. Keke

Waxie,

There’s no agency which can help us to go over to Taiwan from Japan. Even if yes, they said will be very expensive. So we come back and put our stuffs then bring an empty luggage for Taiwan, hehe

 

[~sblbee~]

annabella,
so sorry to hear wat happened at ur BS but so far, i heard they r not bad....im sure dat there r many designs to choose frm for ur album, isnt there any other designs apart frm d maroon one e.g older designs, for my BS i was told dat there r 2 new designs, im gona choose 1 each for my 2 albums....as for d guest bk, it's like dat one, my BS oso got limited designs....

mrs chiew,
thanks for d info! i intend to use chan bros if im going for japan trip

 

[piyo21]

cfay,
not to worry too much. The PG will teach u how to pose one. Me also same height as my FH and I wear 3" heels somemore.
My BS say there will be padding inside the gown, no need to wear nu bra one.

 

[lsntyl]

Crown>You taking a package tour in Japan? If not, you can do free and easy. Much cheaper to fly from Japan to Taiwan.

 

[crown]

Why don’t you all try "BUST UP Super Lite Padded Seamless Bra (Like Nubra)" by Yahoo auction seller jcawaii. I bought it at $16 only. I think it serve the same purpose

 

[piyo21]

hi gals,

I feel a bit lost now, what is needed to prepare at this pt of time.
So far, i taken my PS, waiting for my album layout.

 

[crown]

LY,

Yes we’re taking package tour. We know nothing about Japan hence we thought that taking package will be better.

 

[lsntyl]

Ahh, Japan is easy to get around. But I donno about Hokkaido. Might be a bit more difficult since need to take internal flight. You don't want to extend a few days in Tokyo instead? The last time I was in Tokyo, I met a few Taiwanese. Cos they said v cheap for them to fly over to Japan.

 

[happi_bride]

we're getting traditional pastries. Shld we get from one that is near bride home or groom home?

 

[clareliu]

will be seein my wedding album layout this friday. will try snap some photos and pose it in my multiply.

any advise on wat are the things that i must take note of for wedding album layout?

[happi_bride]

im also going japan and thought of extending to hokkaido.. but not sure how abt going with it..im departing on sep 27

 

[crown]

LY,

One thing we don’t know how to go about Booking of japan hotels on our own and we don’t know how to speak Japanese. We also don’t know how to get around the places so we will take package tour to save the hassles

 

[waxie24]

fanny> i suggest near groom home would be better.. i remember the elders told me on the GDL day, groom suppose to bring everything from his place to ur place (shun shun li li) without any detours..

 

[eunicet]

For those who are thinking to whiten their teeth: I had to polish mine cos I have very obvious stains from coffee and tea! Cos the surface of my teeth not very even...But I realised to get rid of such stains, there's no need to do special whitening lah. Just normal cleaning will get rid of them...Also, this is especially important if you're going to get the raw, uneditted photos from your BS...Cos I was thinking for those close-up shots, the stains would be rather obvious for mine! And I would have to photoshop myself!!

 

[straylamb]

crown... yeah shd go with empty luaggage!!

i suppose taiwan to japan shd b cheaper than japan to taiwan (i guess)?
YL... forgot whether i asked u before... which airline and hotel/inn did u use when u went for free & easy? mi thking of goin tokyo n osaka only...
xiaomei... thk i dun haf ur multiply... can add mi? id is straylamb

 

[kailing]

Sure is a lot of people on the 14th!

weddinghunt, are you still in the forum? have a fren called gladys, think she coming for my solemnization then rushing over to sentosa for her fren's wedding.thought it might be you?

my GDL is at 9-11am. then pastry shop is at bt batok or sembawang. my home is in jurong, FH is in redhill. surely got detour liao in this case.. except bt batok the detour is shorter than sembawang. we can only collect cakes in 8th month and not before that right?

Neko,
Your photos must be cute cute with all your soft toys haha! Wonder how many soft toys u have at home?

I'm already meeting my friends on 1 aug, so I can't make it for outing on that day. But the other Fridays are fine with me. We can actually have 2 outings since it's hard to have a single date which all can make it.

[jazzy_chimes]

hee ya kelly, it's 4 more months to our big days! time flies

 

[ermmm]

hi ladies,

anyone checked out John Lim's package over the weekend when he had a sale?

 

[dodolet]

I think we should have our fotographers by now liao. ^^

 

[kitty_ng]

Hi xinyi, most prob i'm gg down to the pre-natas fair to book my switzerland pkg

Think we can't wait to go for our HM!

 

[chipydale]

hi Kelly,
jasnbren is me ... do add me ... thanks.

 

[skyea]

Hi ladies

thias, my new home is in woodlands. How about you?

Kittyng, i just got back from my HM about a week ago. Second week back at work. Boo hoo!

How many days is the switzerland tour package that you're going to book?

xinyi_reiko, my colleague just went Turkey last year. She enjoyed the trip. I'm sure you will too!

 

[uk_fung]

mei: Go Jap u can see see Prime Tour really very good comment so far!

 

[lsntyl]

fanny>why don't you try Gin Thye that rach recommended? think she said there's free delivery.

crown>not that difficult to book the Jap hotels and I don't know Jap too but can get around Japan. Helps that we know Chinese. But anyway, you are suppose to relax on your HM so a packaged tour where they take care of everything for you is good too.

Straylamb>we stayed economical when we were in Tokyo so we had more $ to spend on food and shopping. Highly recommend House Ikebukuro (http://www.housejp.com.tw/englishindex.htm). Its run by a Taiwanese lady so you can converse to her in Chinese. She also provides bread and tea for breakfast if you want. If they are booked, you can also consider Kimi Ryokan and Hotel Chang Tee, also in Ikebukuro. My friend stayed at Sunshine City Prince Hotel (http://www.princehotelsjapan.com/SunshineCityPrinceHotel/index.asp) and said it was not bad but that's much more ex. I didn't stay in Osaka but in Kyoto. Forgot the name of the hotel though.

jrgal>I wanted to leave the day after the wedding too but FH made me wait one day so we can rest and pack our luggage.

 

[eelin77]

Anyone with English and Chinese wording for invitation to tea ceremony to share as well?
