Gals, have been MIA and will continue to MIA for a while more. Need to devote all my time preparing my exam on 19 Jun. If I fail, my boss is gonna kill me. Nevertheless, I'll read up the posts here and try to keep up with them.

Oh, btw I've taken some photos at the recent Style Wedding Bash. Have uploaded the pics to my multiply blog.

[lara]

[lsntyl]

[xinyi_reiko]

morning ladies..

i am blur abt the pouches.. i thought went tea ceremony in guy's side, will be wearing WG?? if taking a red pouch, will look werid right? Only if go back to bride's side then will change into tea dress or kua, then red pouch will look more matching.

 

[cyc]

[raspberriez91]

Apart from that headache, im starting to panic abt the things yet to be done for the PS! Shoes, Traditional costume for my FH n myslf, n i hav NO idea what else i need to prepare for the PS. Any suggestions n advice from u galz abt PS?

 

[lost_in_space]

[leejeslyn]

[cutecat]

[nelle]

flora, ask you for advice. How do you managed to compress the pic file size that it can accepted to be posted here? Usually the pics I took is in jpeg format and more than 400kb.

 

[rjwedding]

hi girls.. check with u all.. do ur parents don't allow u to attend any other weddings now?? like few mths before our own wedding.. My aunt tells my mum not to allow me to attend any other wedding.. makes me so mad.. my parents not pang dang and my HB's parents also say i can attend, why my aunt so kaipo one.. anyway i've promised my fren to be her jie mei for her wedding next week, and will be attending another wedding in May.. just curious who had this encounter too??

 

[kailing]

hi all, my very first post here but suprisingly, I realise there are no bridgegrooms here or are there? My wife to be and I do come to the forum to take a look once in a while but I do enjoy the vibes and dynamics in this forum here. Haha..
We are getting married on 14th Sept. Not much settled yet and basically, here to say a hello!

 

[~sblbee~]

cyc,
as im typing, im having my brekkie i had finished my meehoon wif lotsa ingredients as well as egg sandwiches...all wiped clean i havent tried mcgriddles meal yet, shd b trying out soon

jeslyn lee,
congrats! glad to hear dat....so u decided to choose back d same gown u were unsure of? got any pic to share?

 

[necrosis]

nelle,

you can open your pics in ms paint
1) click start
2) all programmes
3) accessories
4) paint

2 ways to resize using paint.

a) click on the dash-line rectangle called 'select'
this allows you to select the part of the pic you want.
then cut this selected portion out.
open a new file and paste.
then save under a new name.

b) click image
then click stretch/skew
you can adjust the horizontal and vertical %.
so your original pic is 100%, so you want it smaller, then adjust to 60% or whatever.
save under a new name, else you'll overwrite your original.

hope this helps.

and good morning to all you babes.

 

[dodolet]

Sigh... talking about acne, I still having it. It has moved from my face to my back. T.T dunno y, now I hardly get any major ones on the face, but i get them angry ones at the back. Help!! I need some advise on clearing them so i can have nice back for my AD!!!

Oh, you guys can try to eat royal jelly also. It suppose to give gals a natural glow.

pass me the fotos too nelle.^^

 

[lsntyl]

Hi Kailing! Nice to have a groom here.

Have you at least settled your venue? I found that to be the most troubling cos a lot of locations are booked way in advance.

 

[kitty_ng]

Hi unicorn, i'm using SSR too. Exactly 1 week after yours

I think u can start arranging for your food tasting already.

Eh, muz we carry the red pouch? Can't we jus keep in HB's pocket first?

 

[providencia]

MeiLing, i only lucky this time, other times, i get volcanoes, all waiting to erupt their white lava.

Flora, I'm senstitive to dust, so cannot do housework, ha ha (fantastic excuse right??) I jab flu vaccine yearly, seems to help reduce the incidence of running nose, works for me, but doesn't work for the rest of my friends. Study hard, yeah.

Hi there, we are having it at Seltar Country Club, something new from going to hotels and more hotels. If good weather permits, we will have our solemnization outdoor overlooking the greenery and proceed to the function room for the dinner. Guess the only other thing that we have confirmed so far is the photographer. We engaged adrian from avenue8 yesterday, affordable and someone who has a good portfolio in my opinion.

 

[leejeslyn]

hi meiling, i choosen back e 1st gown which i had earlier decide on during my 1st fitting...i din choose the ivory one cos it's too yellowish...i cant accept it myself too...haha

[fionachua83]

hey ladies, thanks for adding me in multiply.

Sotonglet, U can buy herbal drink to drink n eat less fried food or u apply snake powder on ur back. Hope this helps.

Meiling, u should avoid squeezing them or go for facial let the beautian do it for u if not will leave scar then cannot mei mei liao.

Providencia, wao look like u really veri weak must take care of ur health.

 

[msclaire]

Hey Prov, i used to have very bad sinus/runny nose problem in the past. Until I went to the states and came back. Because over there the humidity level is very low, but somehow when I came back I never had the problem again. Anyway to reduce humidity level in your surroundings? Like those dehumidifier? Also make sure nothing furry things like stuffed toys or doggies are in your surroundings. Hope this helps.....

HI R&amp;J< think standard superstitions in 3 months before n after ur AD, u not suppose to attend any other weddings lor..so up to u... i probably follow the tradition just to play save...

hi all, i have issue regarding sitting arrangement for VIP table...can u all advice what is the usual practice? is it simply guy side and girl side each have 1 VIP n the couple will have to sit with the guy side?
my mum is insisting that couple to sit with the girl side, n grooms parents to sit tog with brides parents n family. is this very weird?

 

[lexilicious]

ooo JB JB.. I also wanna go!
I can drive but I don't know the way

jes,
grats on striking one of the biggest thing off your list!

cyc
you sabo-ed me.. I spent the entire morning dreaming of how McGriddles might taste like.. I think I'd give em a try tomorrow morning

 

[~sblbee~]

nec,
thanks for sharing! was juz telling nelle dat both of us r IT idiots
btw, i''ll b going to MM wedding show tis sun, u going? cos my BS is featured there

providencia,
heheheh....im unlucky most of d time so i get really bad pimples n acnes all d time

 

[rainydaes]

yes.. all done except the most stressful part which is to plan the seating of table.... hw abt u? where is ur wedding dinner held?

 

[flora_bliss]

nelle, I used Paint to resize the photo. The ever kind Nec has posted the steps above.

meiling, thanks for the encouragement. But really got no confidence for the exam. Only left 65 days to my exam and I haven't even started. Tough to pass when only 70% of the questions will be covered by textbk and the passing grade is 62%.

I actually missed out a lot of other gowns. And since I need to take the photos fast, I cant get my hands to be steady so quite a number of pics are blurred.

 

[shybride]

florabliss.. jia you jia you jia you JIA YOU!!!!

 

[cutiephinphin]

hi gals

wow i must really add... this thread is by far the most happening threads I've seen.

I've gotten my stuffs mostly confirmed now. So happy to have more things striked off from my to do list

Btw are there any MUAs any of you can recommend for AD for my jiemeis &amp; mum? Looking out for that now.

 

[queenie10]

rainydaes,
i agree with u,u know for relative's table....they like to bring alot of young kids,tat goes to my aunties cos they expect to bring all their grandchild go.Some of the table can have up to 4kids less than 4yrs old.So my mum &amp; fren commented that i shd put the kid as 11th/12th person...dunno any of u did tat?Luckily this only happen to my mum's 3 tables.

 

[straylamb]

[msclaire]

actually im most afraid of looking bloated (face) on PS/AD, cos i think my period will come around those times. any solution ladies?

 

[~sblbee~]

florabliss,
dun worry, we'll b rooting for u n supporting u mentally...it really seems tough to take exams in d finance line my fren is really stressed everytime she needs to sit for tests n exams at least u can take a short break frm d revision when u meet us up on nxt fri...

You mean ur PS gowns and AD gowns are different?

 

[providencia]

fionachua, oh I'm not that weak lah, just got sensitive nose and migraine, other than that, hardly fall sick.

What's snake powder, never heard of it.

msclaire, yeah, i dun keep stuffed toys ard me, most of my stuff toys are wrapped in plastic, so not nice to hug.

can take medication to stop the menses, that's what i plan to do, dun want to worry abt staining my WG.

MeiLing, ur hormones very active leh, remember don't touch them and don't look in the mirror for a while, k?

cutiephinphin, glad that major stuff have been striked off ur list.

Jac, i also haven't buy my shoes yet, but no panicking yet.

Flora, drink more brand's essence, maybe it'll help. Hee. All the best.
