[dizonne]

i guess, it depends on individual ba...
if everiting done le, then is juz checking lor...

 

[precious_11]

fifteenmay - are they willing to hold the position for you till u return from your honeymoon?

Coz my htb also changing job but the company was willing to wait for him to start in Nov...

 

[fifteenmay]

cher, dun think so. they need someone asap.
is your husband job a specialist job? mine generalist job, so wouldnt wait wan

 

[dizonne]

fifteenmay,
doesnt mean specialist job will wait de..u dun ask, hw u koe rite...
bt i tink u dun reali like e job is it?? coz u seem veri negative abt e job...

 

[fifteenmay]

ya i am scared of the workload and its just before the wedding.i think i have decided. taking on this job would just be for the money so i think i will reject to cont on wedding preparations and honeymoon before looking for job in oct

 

[dizonne]

if its juz for e $$, and u are nt reali in need of it now, then i guess, you are making e right decision lor..
i koe hw it feels to do a particular job tat u dun reali like, juz coz of e $$..its nt reali a good feeling, and it suxs big time waking up to go to work every morning...
dun wry..alls well ends well...

 

[fifteenmay]

you are making alot of sense xka.
I think i will not like the job as i cannot concentrate on my wedding preparation properly.Wedding is once in a lifetime,better enjoy it then look for job

 

[rene3]

mrswong, mine is also ard there. I think if add my makeup+shower cream,etc. I'm sure it will be over $500.

stacey, thanks for the details

jascmy, thanks. really appreciate this piece of info. Will pass the info to my htb.

 

[dizonne]

bt pls do be aware of you and hubby's financial status...esp after the wedding...make sure u 2 hav someting to fall back on in case u reali cant get another job (CHOY!!! TOUCH WOOD!!!)
at least, be aware of e risk tat u are going take lor, if you dun accept e job...if e risk is smting u 2 are nt afraid of and tink u can conquer, then by all means, reject the offer...

 

[fifteenmay]

i just spoke to hubby. we can fall back on our house savings (BTO not done yet, so no renovation yet)
Ya, i need to speak to him one more time to see if this is really the best option

 

[bliss_bb]

superfamous> have u gone for ur PS?

 

[sparkless]

superfamous - i just did my PS at national museum yesterday. Yup, we paid $107 (including the GST) for the venue.

 

[fifteenmay]

new development!they called and gave me the assurance that the work load aint that bad. So i am debating to take it out since that was my main worry

 

[dizonne]

YAY!!!!
good to hear tat!!

 

[babylina]

anyone know how long can they keep the bed in their store, say we purchase now?

coz my flat not ready.. buy now also nowhere to put...

 

[piggylover]

hi Angelina, i went to ask ard like simmon, sealy n lady americana mattress recently. most of them say either we pay full or can put a deposit abt 10% of order n they will hold the stock for us till when we wan them delivery, we must go down settle the balance before they can arrange delivery as we nd the bed before AD (ard Dec time)

 

[lalaa_27]

anyone knows if got any furniture, and lighting sales this weekend?

 

[noknok]

harvey norman having sale at expo. Can take a look.

What kind of lighting are you looking for lalaa.. last time I bought from this ulu shop, wat we do is we tell him the model number of the light that we like, then he'll call and ask for supplier price for us. it's cheaper then the shop selling.

 

[lalaa_27]

oh thanx Noknok!! will go expo dis weekend den!

can I have the address of dat ulu shop also pls? how come so good he give u supplier price? u noe him or they give good price for all walk-ins?
lookin for small chandeliers, normal round lights for kitchen, bulbs etc..

 

[garfieldhello]

Hmm .... now i am thinking where to find a cheap and unique "su zhuang tai" without mirror for my own bridal room.

 

[rene3]

Have u gals bought dresses for ur mum to wear on AD?

[cheer7]

[angeliqueous]

cherie, how did yr PS went yesterday?
so which venues did u eventually went?

my PS will be including outdoor as well, they told us can go 2 or 3 places loh, sounds very compromising as they want us to sign up with them that time.

oh gosh, sound like so much work to research on the venues but they told us nothing. seems like i really need to start pestering them! my PS is end Sep so i only had 1 month plus...

 

[candyrock]

I've finally gone for my first appointment with Sattine..with the wedding appraoching fast, I managed to choose both the WG and EG designs in 3 hrs..I can't wait to see my dresses! My PS is scheduled in oct..hopefully i can get my album in time for my wedding! I'm a super happy gal

 

[gili]

Hi Girls,
I'm new here.
Oct 09 Bride
Starting to feel nervous.
So many things not done.
Florist, Cards, Food Tasting, GDL items & date, shoes,..etc
Have all Oct brides done with all preparation?
I have no idea which is more important.
Any tips for me?

Hi mashi mashi,
would you like to update my information in your list?

 

[saggiegirl]

candyrock> good to hear that

remember to chase yr BS for the album

Angeliqueos> we did a lot of research on PS areas

and we are very happy that we did research and communicated with PG

and our photos turn out to be very natural and artistic looking

...

 

[reine]

I'm going to see my photos tomorrow! Finally. What a long wait.

So how are you guys going thru with prep? Seems like a lot of you have things planned out.

I'm still thinking where to buy GDL cakes!

 

[garfieldhello]

candyrock > I am also very excited too when me and my wife went down to choose the WG and EG and subsequently confirm it.

 

[sunshine_baby]

Candyrock> WG and EG in 3 hours.. Faster than me.. For me, I took about 3 hours in the first round to select the tentative WG and EG.. But as I am still not satisfied with the EG, went down another day to re-select.. Was very happy when the 2 gowns were finally settled upon..

Now, need to try and lose some weight as I cannot fit properly into both gowns.. Haha.. Although the bridal shop is able to alter the gowns, but I am still trying and lose some weight here and there.. Hopefully I can have some progress before the PS, and reach my target goal weight by the AD

 

[rene3]

cheer, I will shop with my mum to get hers. Mayb next friday taking leave. Mayb gg daniel yen

Gili, there are alot of things that I had not done yet. So u got accompany

reine, I'm also gg to source out GDL cakes with my htb. Cos his parents like don't care so no choice it's our wedding we will do it. But will be gg Balestier Road (esp the one jascmy recommend)

 

[pekochan81]

cheer> ok can. but it's not exactly an itinerary per se, it's more of which are the places we went to and how you can book your own land tours there.

Gili> Welcome! Dun worry, you're not the only one. But we're going to get our arse moving to get the things moving this weekend! hehe

 

[vicki]

[verena]

cheer> thanks for that. i checked out airasia, jetstarasia, and SQ. The budget airlines will cost about $300+ per person already. But becos SQ only flies 3 times a week, I'm thinking of combining SQ and jetstar cos of their good timings.

 

[babylina]

[cherie81]

Angeliqueous> Went to the usual place botanic garden, sentosa and a restaurant. Was lucky that I took it that day cos the weather was good and not so hazy as compare to this few days. Had alot of fun.

Before you do the photoshoot you have to think about what kind of feeling you want and communicate with the PG. You may want to get some extra stuff that may look nice in the pic like dolls, ballons etc

I was glad that I choose my BS cos I just have to pose and there will be 2 assistant, one to place my long train and the other telling me where to look and a makeup artise touching up my MU and hair. Total there is 7 of us plus driver just for the photoshoot. Like superstar. LOL And when I insist on some crazy idea of mine, they let me do it
