Meiling> It's better to take your time for the house thingy. We are dead tired with all the impt events clashing together.

Talking abt wisdom tooth. I had the 2 upper ones taken out 2 yrs back (thru normal extraction). For the 1st extraction, the dentist din do stitching for me, so the wound juz kept on bleeding from 3-10pm. But I din experience much pain, I could eat normally the next day. But for the 2nd one, I opted for stitching, so muscle ache kinda pain was felt around the cheek. And I can't open the mouth too big so got to use those teeny weeny spoon for meals. But for both extraction, the pain was endurable so I din take any of those painkiller prescribed by the dentist. Still need to take out the 2 bottom ones. But those are impacted so will need to go thru surgery.

 

[msclaire]

Florabliss, do you mean you can opt for stitching and not decided by dentist? Without stitching the wound can heal just like without rite?

Ah Net,

I saw your pic before at Multiply mah

I got the leaflet. It is stated on 15th to 20th July. Roadshow specials. Premium Bird’s Nest Series 2 for $110, usual 2 for $150.60

 

[lsntyl]

rach>I oso prefer not friday cos that's normally pak tor day for me.

 

[lsntyl]

Meiling>I'm a greedy pig. Told FH I must eat my own banquet!

I've only extracted one wisdom tooth before. Didn't affect my appetite leh. Don't think I can lose weight. so short time to my AD too. :*( It was a bit scary cos the dentist was female and she was using normal extraction. She didn't have enough strength so when she pulled, my whole head came off the headrest. More than once too. Was so painful.

Hi sleepygal, settle PG & VG for AD liao. Bought some new furniture for the room. STill got wat need to prepare. PS at Sept still got no idea wher to go for outdoor.

 

[eunicet]

Oooh, so exciting, got spree! I've never took part in a spree leh. Quite sua ku. Icicle, do we need to all buy from the same website?

SotongLet: Ehh, I dunno how to do the table thing, but guess have to look far far far back!

nlimm: Are you thinking of buying gowns too?

Icicle's been superly helpful with that

Anyway, sorry, can't help you with the men's clothes! Though you could tell the others your budget and work from there!

 

[monkie]

hello eunice
the sisters dress can of different shades of white as u, maybe u have off white while they have ivory white.

i see those ang moh sisters wear white gown..really nice...no matter what, you are still the star of the day... Cheers!

 

[sleepygal79]

hi elaine, thats fast. I have not even started the renovations of our new flat yet, let alone the buying of furnitures. For the locations for PS, tink u can start to source slowly liao. See whether u have any place in mind, probably a place where u and ur partner goes to? Soemwhere that is important to both of u.

 

[ices]

becoz u have ur own apartment mah..i staying with my PIL so start to buy furniture but arrange delivery around sept or oct coz will do a simple renov of my HTB room 1st.

For PS, I really have no idea as the place that last time we go close down liao become a kopi shop...hahaha

 

[sleepyhello]

congrats to all.. so have people getting marry in 8/9/11/16/20th aug so any other days? Just curious to know.

 

[vernwyen]

wah... lost liao.

briefly read the thread and now it's on bird nest and mattresses. Dunno if ours is a good deal, we slashed the price of our Sealy mattress to 2.2k, comes with 2 protectors, no pillows. Bedframe we got it elsewhere

 

[flora_bliss]

msclaire> For my previous dentist, he allow me to choose. For normal tooth extraction, usually the wound would stop bleeding after 2hrs. My case was too extreme, so I requested to have it stitch for the 2nd extraction.

LSnTYL> My dentist was quick swift in the actual pulling. took less than 2 min and the tooth is out. Even I was surprise by the speed. I even asked him "Are you sure?". Then he said,"Neh... see your tooth is here". But the aesthetic took a long time to take effect and I'm quite a sucker for it. So the dentist has to inject quite a lot before the gums can be numb.

 

[calvinz21]

Rach> ooo, ic ic. haha, but it all looks the same to me.

sleepyhello> mine's on the 20th. =)

 

[xuer21]

porsche,
ya cos i signed for both the PG and animation together thus got discount. orginal price is abt 900+ i think.

 

[keer13]

Hi ladies.. This is getting exciting.. Sprees... Really thanks Iciclediamond for sharing her online experience with us & she's really helpful..

Icicle - Will you like to conduct the spree for us? Maybe, we can set a deadline to close the spree. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind doing it as I had conducted sprees before & had bought from the website that Icicle bought her gowns.. Let me know if I can be of any help..

In my opinion, it's safer to buy back from the same seller that Icicle bought her gowns as it's more secure. But, of course, if anyone of us will like to buy from another seller, we then have to rely on their ratings and there will be a small element of risks that the seller will take our $$ & disappear or gives us inferior goods.. Of course, this might not happen but I just sharing my spree experience.. With regards to consolidating orders from different sellers, I think we can do. I can help to check & see if it's more economically when the no. of orders is confirm..

 

[gingerbread_gal]

I also def want to eat the food during my reception!!

I think for wisdom tooth, better go to male dentist if you are doing the normal extraction....some female dentist don't have the strength to pull out the wisdom tooth as they have much longer roots. My wisdom tooth didn't grow out but it was causing pain...then my dentist said to have all taken out at one go!

If your wisdom tooth is not causing any problems, then no need to extract...just cont practising good dental care...

I just saw a bride from my BS who took her PS....some very nice shots and her gown is so nice!!! I can't wait for my PS to come! End sept is a long time away it seems!

 

[gingerbread_gal]

Hi Eunice,
its totally up to you if you don't mind your bridesmaid wearing white.... its actually very tradition if they wear the same colour dress as you...the story goes that bridesmaids are supposed to divert attention of the 'evil monster (something like that)' so that he wouldn''t know who is the bride....and won't snatch her away.

For me, i wouldn't want anyone but me wearing white....am thinking of including the phrase 'pls avoid whites' in the dress code of my invites

iciclediamond, seeing you looking so lovely in the gown you bought online doesn't help in keeping the vanity away

nlimm,
i think the BS will normally provide the cravat? do check with your BS? otherwise, can check Tangs out.
try looking at bridal closet...email them and ask abt mens suit...they normally dun post the mens suit online.

 

[koyoyo]

omg,
There sure a lot of talk on pig here.. Thinking if pig have soul they will fled out their bodies... all the reading make me crave for roast pig.. myGDL is in sept 3rd week.. Anyone gone for their hotel or banquet food tasting? What to expect... What happen if not happy??

 

[porsche]

i think she quoted me $1,200...

i hate negotiating with all these wedding service providers...haha...

 

[eunicet]

Thanks for all the advice girls!

And Cynthia, so funny, 'ang moh' sisters got difference one ah!

And Jac! I didn't know that story! Interesting...Though I'm just doing that for pure convenience...And the gowns my BS managed to provide did look good on my 2 besties...

BUT! If you gals are spree-ing, do let me know!! Might be superly tempted. Also, keer, Icicle gave us 3 different websites. Not sure if they are the same seller...If not, which of the three websites are you all intending to get from?

 

[xuer21]

wah just the animation 1200????? quite ex lor...

 

[xuer21]

porsche,
when is ur wedding?? u sign the animation package with C & T liao?

 

[lsntyl]

koyoyo>My food tasting is this Sat. Think is just to try the food and settle other admin stuff in my contract. Oso need to select favours and colour scheme. Think if don't like a particular dish, can request change.

 

[cyc]

uk, how much on ave did you spend for ur PS/AD photography in singapore?

 

[dodolet]

eunice, I told my jie meis I love colors, so they can wear any colors they think they look nice and the brighter the better.... But my bs providing 2 brides maid gowns, so i will pass to whoever needs them.

Icic maybe we should define which sellers first then we go and look at their gowns to make our choices ezier. Of course those who had bought before and have good service and quality please also highlight. ^^
