Hey all, any good place for manicure and pedicure?
Hi cyc, i saw Warehouse got sell nubra. And also la senza - About $140. How about tapes instead because Nubra can be quite uncomfortable if not wear properly.

wor... Everyone getting more and more excited over honeymoon...
I custom made my wedding bands so no ring pillow hence must custom made it too...
I think Taiwan can be very romantic too depending on how you plan your itinerary. Else too much shopping might spoilt the moods, especially most guys can't endure much shopping... kekeke...

to all, any recommendations on where to go for buying mattresses? prefer those mega warehouse kind, especially straight from suppliers if possible? cut down middle man costs. or does any one know of any lobang? do you think that those sold in Courts megastore are well priced?

Hi all,
just want to get feedback on the time lag between ur PS and the soft copies + album collection. My AD is in Nov and I did my PS in March.Was told that i can only get back the items in Aug, which is 5 mths lag. Is this acceptable. Had terminated the services frm this BS after some issues. Even before termination, they also told us that we can only get back the items in Aug

Hi Meiling,
Do acryalic nail, I did one for my broken fingernail too for my PS.
For all who's consider adding on crystals, make sure you communicate well with the manicurist first. For my case, I leave everything to the pro. and I didn't like the end result, worst thing, I need to pay $54 more for the cystal and additional job. And my co-ordinator said it's ugly. I think french mani and pedi will do, coz any fancy design might not show up well in the photos.
In total, I spent $120 but my photographer did not took any pictures of my nails at all.
I did mine at compass point, 2/3rd flr. Not recommended to go, will look for another good one for my AD. Any good recommendation?

Hihi, I have asked and confirmed with my friends before giving them the card. My that friend confirmed with me. He also told me he asked his WTB already and she is ok cos my wedding is Jul & theirs is Oct so 3 months gap. But just the day before I met him, he told his wife the date of my wedding and it is a few days short of 3 months and his wife told him NO! When he told me the next day...it was too late. Fated I guess.
went to my friend's wedding last month. the groom did an animation to re-enact their love story. very nice. and at the end of the wedding, their close friends gave them a dvd which they played during the banquet. they acted out their love story! the production was pretty pro and it took the gang 1 year. really touched by their effort. piyo, have fun doing your video shoot. I believe it will be very memorable =)
me nothing much to prepare for wedding already cos all done except to send out the invitation card. so just kept buying stuff to make my new house more homely hee hee.

Thanks for all the advice about Europe.. THink I'll go check out the Rail Pass and see if train or flight is better..
Ooo.. So much talk about DIY ang pow box / ring pillows / shoe decorations.. I'm not too artistically inclined for this, thankfully my ang pow box is provided by hotel and my wedding bands came with ring pillow.. =P

hi Evelyn, you will have to write in for permission to have your PS in National Museum, plus you have to pay a photography fee there, $150 if I'm not wrong.
I have completed my PS today ... hehe .. thank God for the great weather, no rain, not hot either
Went to the classic PS locations - SAM, Botanic Gdns and Changi Boardwalk

Hi Snowball, you may want to consider www.simonvideo.com.sg
They have 4 VGs but not sure if they are fully booked already.
Hi Ally, welcome. How's ur prep so far?
Hi Jane, seems like you have quite a few places for the outdoor shoot. But sounds exciting. Do enjoy and remember to share your pix with us when ready.
Hi fedup, are they doing digital album for you? If so, maybe they need to do layout? Can share which BS is that? Sounds like you have a really unpleasant experience with them. Is there any penalty for terminating their services? Anyway still have time, are you planning to do another PS?

leely : You may want to check out going the opposite direction instead.. cos the cities you have chosen are kinda in a triangle with paris right on top.. Also, depends if you want to fly in and out from the same city or not. I know airlines charge more to fly in and out from diff city.
Kailing, those warehouse one don’t really have premier mattress. You have to see what type of mattress you’re looking for. Low end ones or premier ones?
Take me for an example.
I looked thru newspaper and saw this advertisement selling mattress at very low price at Toa payoh. Since it’s so near, I drop by and have a look. I came to know this lady working there and she told us her husband is a distributor of Sealy mattress. So she can give me a very good price if we purchase from her. So we took the best mattress there which cost $2400 for Queen Size. It was a rush decision which we shouldn’t make. Luckily we put $200 deposit only.
Then after purchasing, we went Courts and see if they have the same mattress and checked with we really get it at a very good price. We couldn’t find it then we asked the sales assistant. They said the mattress we’re looking at is the older series. Then we realize by paying a few hundreds more, we can get a better range one at Courts. So we called back that lady asking if her husband can help us to get the one we saw at Courts. She said cannot cos Courts and Robinson had bought over the models and distributor cannot sell outside. That means that those other warehouses selling are those low range ones which you can’t find them in department stores.
My HTB was pissed and insist we look out at Robinsons also. In the end, we bought the premier range of Sealy mattress cos my HTB said it’s gonna last us for 5years or more hence paying more is worth it. It cost about $5K and our PIL paid for it.. Hehe

hi all,
hvn't been in for a long while keke... hvn't been doing much for wedding preparations so no advice or input lor. Just went Barang Barang to look at their sale items... not bad. 40-50% off.
I've decided to take the bustier gown i posted in my multiply, but found the design too simple, so topped up to add additional appliques and also keep the gown.
Now hving problem looking for a pair of nice shoes tt's not too high. Anyone has recommendations where to get those covered toes shoes? Saw some nice ones online, but not enough time to buy since the shipping will take quite some time.
Photoshoot coming up in mid July. Invites not printed yet. And my banquet coordinator is so screwed up. Argh...

FH going reservist on 27 June. If I don't need to pei him, can join you ladies? But how's the food at Delifrance? I heard the warm food not v good but never tried.
koyoyo>I'm the same! Always buy cheap shoes, wear a few months spoil then buy new ones. this way, I've more variety.
Nec>ya, never attended an Indian wedding before. How is it like? I tried on my sari for FH on Mon when I got his help to clear my cupboard. He say doesn't look nice on me cos I lost weight since I got it made and it looks too loose on me.

Ling Ling: Hard to go against in-laws, so Korea trip just let it be lor. I think most important thing is getting your HTB to understand and to promise you that he will give you a proper honeymoon next year. If it makes you feel better, I'm only going on mine probably in autumn next year because we're too poor after the wedding
Leely: Yah, why don't you go in a circle to start and end in Paris?
Sotong: Wow, now I'm tempted to go to Taiwan for honeymoon instead of Japan...What's F&E?
Speaking of rings, we haven't bought our wedding bands yet. I heard it takes around 2 weeks for engraving and stuff- anyone knows how I can do it faster, e.g. a few days? Cos as you know, the HTB's only here for 2 wks in July.
Haven't even started thinking about ring pillow stuff yet

dor>saw some nice shoes at Aldo yest but they are more bling type. If you want simpler shoes, I think URS have some white shoes that are not bad.
Went to Winebos and B@rworks to sample their wines and shortlist what we want to get yest. Quite interesting experience. Winebos is more professional but the salesperson not v friendly. FH and I will prob go with B@rworks in the end as the wine we tried was just as good and is cheaper.

Hey ladies,
I went to Tangs to get my silicone bra as told by my designer...wow, it can really push up...but i'm worried I don't know how to wear them the right way still...when i first tried, i was wearing them incorrectly...
Meeting at orchard sounds good....like Nec, I haven't met you all before...but from multiply, shld be able to recognise some gals here....
back to the weight issue, i need to tone up too....have been gaining some weight i think....will join a gym soon!
