[ecarg1310]

vallous, my mum wants to buy every single thing. WAD CAN I SAY? But I was quite lucky, she paid for the dowry! Hee.

 

[winnie_gal]

vallous: ya save electricity bill...

Grace: u spend alot on ur dowry.. mine very cheap only 50 bucks.. we chop off most of the things. ask my mum she need to bu pail, bowl, she say no need.. so we only buy lamps, tea pot, needles box and a set of new bedsheet...(from aussion)

u got a exp rolex watch for ur tea cermony...waoh..

 

[keitsu]

okie... i will check with my hubb again to see what my MIL will say.. if she say only AD than i shall follow her law.. don't want to raise anything now...

wah you really bot a lot of things... last weekend i accompany my mum to Chinatown to buy the things also... but we only bot the basic like the lamps, bowl set, the nuts, etc.. already cost my mum close to $100... the bedsheets and all I got from Aussino.. which is also $100 plus... than my mum say still have to buy pants, belts and wallet for my hubb to be place in the roast pig on the AD... woah.. cost me a bomb man...

 

[cube_cube]

alkaline, you have to go into bridal shops, look at their gowns and try on their gowns and look thru their pkgs . they wont give u funny faces. start looking now, so that u can shortlist in time for the roadshow. Roadshow offers very good packages, its a good idea to sign then.

 

[irritant]

gd morning babes...

 

[ecarg1310]

hey keitsu! Exactly! Need to buy pants for my hubby too. Bedsheets I got from the Wedding Cottage. After I collect, I can take a photo and show u all, quite cute~ Cost $218 without fitted sheet for king size. Dowry is really expensive!

 

[ecarg1310]

desjO, the cheapest quote i got for entertainment is from A Little Dream ($800) and etmusic.com.sg ($800).

I am going to do away with it as it exceeded my budget. Hee.

 

[noknok]

Morning Aroh.

Ladies, jus wanna ask if anyone buying fake lashes and bring along for MUA to use instead of paying extra for it ah?? Ampoule as well. I saw ppl selling online for 10 pairs. Isn't that too much?? think I'm going to order Ampoule from my supplier soon.. My BS charging $50 for both. Dun wanna pay tt money.

 

[dizonne]

noknok,
it is up tp individual de...Some peepz may hav their own prefered brands, etc...You can bring yours along if u prefer tat...=]

10 pairs? unless u use it regularly for facials, then its okie la...nt tat many....bt do check e expiry date...oso, r u allergic to any products?? wateva u buy to use, do try it way AHEAD...in case ur skin cant take e product...

 

[sun_tan]

Noknok, when u say $50 for both ie eyelash plus ampoule cost $50?!?!?

 

[dizonne]

sun,
i tink tats wat she means...my MUA oso charge abt 40 for eyelash and ampoule..

 

[noknok]

for both.. but usually I buy Ampoule only $1.30 per vials loh (I use them regularly one... feels heartache if to pay tat kind of money. one time photoshoot one time (or two??) actual day leh.

the 10 pairs one i talking abt eyelash lah..they always sell online in bulk one leh

 

[irritant]

ampoule so cheap only ar...they cheat money one...hahaha..sell so ex...

let me google wat it's used for...

 

[lettingo]

grace.... in the end i never buy pants.... because i hear from friend that was for Cantonese.. as I am hainanese so i didn't go with it le

 

[ecarg1310]

hey hui, i understand it's cantonese and I am Hokkien. However, as I asked for a roast pig on AD, we must return the head & back (with tail) of pig. In the middle, we must put hubby's pants w red packet wrapped in red paper.

Thus, I will just follow

 

[noknok]

ebay sellers sell very cheap only.. salon sell like $200-$300 for 10 vials.. I heard some even sell $800+. Crazy one.

 

[juski22]

for wat i tink eyelash can use theirs, ampoule can brin ur own.

for mi, im lazy to buy so all use theirs

 

[vallous]

whoa..still must buy pants.

I also hokkien. I didnt ask for roast pig..just pig trotters will do. If not also gotta buy those pants thingy. The lesser thing to do better. Save money.

 

[irritant]

wah...daylight robbery leh...so ex for something so cheap...

but think some MUA will charge u for using ur own...though cheaper than using theirs lar...but they sure say theirs very gd...outside cannot get so gd one blah blah...

 

[noknok]

My BS say dun wan can bring my own.. it's ok one.

I think the quality different ba, but the thing is, the difference is SO HUGE!!! I really dun see the need to pay for the super ex one.

 

[jaslyn288]

Hi noknok.. happen to see u here.. paiseh leh.. worried u din see my email.. so tmr confirmed for collection rite?? hehe.. =D

 

[desjo_11]

Hey gals,
I'm hainanese,we do need a suckling pig,but without those customs u all mentioned.
Hui, u got ask for suckling pig?

Hi Grace,
Alittle dream seems gd..i hv ask b4 early this yr.I hv decided most likely will go for cartoon animation.find it really cool & sweet..will give that as a gift for my hubby

Hi Sharon,
I hv enquired another web http://www.wowmedia.com.sg
I find it not bad also..managed to neg to $500 from $988..will simplified the cartoon with lesser scenes & actions.see can ask further discount..keke

 

[lettingo]

desjo

according to my mum, yes we hainanese need suckling pig... but most hainanese nowadays use angbao to represent Suckling Pig ... so i am using angbao to represent.. to save the troubles...

 

[dizonne]

hey gals,
anyone know whe rent ethnic clothes??
supposed to wear for my D&D..theme is ethnic costumes of e world..anione got any suggestions??

 

[supergal]

hi kervin, yup! and i think we got the same AD date on 24th October 2009!!

somemore, i think you are holding it at Rendezvous Hotel rite? happens to be my ROM venue on 24th October 2008! so qiao hor..hehe!!

i'm hold my banquet at Grand Plaza Park Hotel!

 

[supergal]

hi jacqueline, i added you on both facebook and multiply liao!

 

[surelylook09]

Hamdy,

My PG oso AM.PM, i engarged 2 PG hehe...You are like quite comfortable with them, esp lesie, he is very joyvious.Like their style most compared to most of the PG i met.

Christina,

i hv decided to give out my invitation card during CNY, hehe cos will get to see most of the relative mah, save the hussel hehe....

 

[vallous]

hi all,

most impt is to save trouble for the day. Cos very early have to wake up and prepare liao. Dun make things too messy on AD day. If can replace by angbao, it is much better.

 

[ecarg1310]

for me... it's a stupid mistake my in-laws made. Hubby n I looked around for suckling pig, thinking whether we should have one. Then in-laws tot we wanted one, when we never say so. And they made an order. So I just live with the order they made lo, since deposit was placed already.

My mum wanted pig trotters too, actually.

 

[desjo_11]

Actually to mk it simple, can arrange the seller to deliver the suckling pig directly to our parents house..after that then return the necessary portion..easier..no need follow any customs

Grace, not a stupid mistake..is something good ya

yummy!

 

[ecarg1310]

hehe... desjO! What time are you getting xiaoqi to reach ur place for Makeup? Gotta pay her for coming earlier as well as her transport fees in the morning and evening. Hai... more $!

 

[freeesia]

remember to negotiate for more things to be included in the package before you sign for anything at roadshows. for around $3,200 onwards or thereabout, you can ask for stuff like merc bridal car + deco + driver, groom's MTM trousers (for keeping), fathers' coats, mothers' dresses, bride's bouquet, trial make up and hairdo etc. make sure every detail is written down so that there won't be future disputes.

 

[winnie_gal]

desjo: thank you! i'm still thinking wan to do mah...i scare not enuff $...hahaha...
anyway can get the quotation 1st..
so decide to do it?

 

[akino]

when r u all going for HM? right after AD or wait for few months?

 

[sylvia_lim1627]

Kervin Tan: ya, if managed to buy new flat is bound to b alot cheaper than resales...
hope u will be able to get ur reno done at reasonable price... cos now everything is so expansive!!!

 

[wildwood]

hi akino,

our plan is to go for HM after AD.. wat abt u?

 

[pebblydiamonds]

akino, for me, probably after AD gotta start saving to go for proper HM. so mayb will go for a mini honeymoon first.. short getaway or sth. haven't decided yet.. u?

 

[livinginsg]

Greetings from Tagatay (highlands two hours by car from Manila)! Am here to attend a wedding and apparently, the cutting of the cake started from Roman times, symbolising prosperity.

Hi hpc, you must have had fun! I always joke that I am doing a mini triathlon when i support my HTB at races; holding the camera and running after him!!;-)

Hope all of you are well. Happy weekend!

 

[ant82]

[desjo_11]

hello grace,

Hi Sharon,
Me very tempted..SOooo sweet le..almost arrange appoinment with them.still cant decide whether tk wowmedia or ecoworz?I also hv concern over $$ ;p

 

[saggiegirl]

pebbles & akino> we intend to go for a mini HM getaway

to relax after wedding. To us, a HM is not about the distance travelled..it is to celebrate our lives together as husband and wife

and enjoy the cosy times ...

 

[vallous]

hi all,

if needed the MUA to come before 6am..must pay transport fee or so called additional fee. Its not included in pkg. For me gown collection is about 4 days before AD. I am also required to put deposit of $500.

 

[rommy]

Red 2007 for $420(negotiable). These are remainders from my wedding in mid november.

Self-collection at Sims Drive (very near Aljunied MRT Station) opposite Audio House.

For those interested, do email me at [email protected]

 

[hamdy]

dottie,

i engaged the two of them too!! hehe

 

[yoyoyeo]

For bridal package,i think it would be ideal if you can find out which shops are having the bridals shows, go to the shop first to look see, then after that sign up at the bridal show. Better perks at bridal show, and you would have seen the gowns at the shop already.

 

[mashi_mashi]

anngoh,

[akino]
