kappating: did you do your printing at Tdragon? It shld take about 10 days.

 

[greentwinkle12]

littlewoman > me will be printing at tdragon too. ask u, printing takes about 10 days.. so how about seeing the layout etc prior to printing.. do they take a long time to revert?

 

[greentwinkle12]

Charmaine > yeps, i order 4 pieces from her.

[bliss_bb]

Greentwinkle > they took about 3-4 days to send the layout

 

[bliss_bb]

emeraldbride> How much did u gain while having ur baby tat time? IS it hard to lose weight?

 

[lovingyou]

greentwinkle: They showed me the layout via email like 3 days later. They might forget at times, hence we have to remind them.

 

[emeraldbride]

ling, i put on abt 20kg..haha..but cos i hv pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure due to pregnancy) which causes me to be severely bloated..
but i lose all the weight i put on liao by a mth after delivering cos i breastfeed (i latch directly) which helps the womb to contract faster..so now i dun hv a tummy!!
y?? u preggy?

 

[its_fate]

mashi - It's really going to be a long day for U. Must try to sleep ok.. Be a 美美 bride... =)

Oso, if U gals are going for some photo shooting during the interim time (before or after tea ceremony), have at least 2 places in mind. On my AD, it's so hot and hazy that we have to change plan from outdoor to indoor. My PG told us the hazy background won't turn out nice....

Good Luck to all Brides =)

[lovingyou]

clueless: will you be getting a new bed, else, "An Chuang" can be done like 3 days prior to AD, hence not much to worry.. But have you printed your inserts?

saggiegirl: what lamps are u referring to here? Is it the bed lamp?

 

[sunshine_baby]

Hi all... Able to log in this morning as I am on medical leave.. I think too stressed liao (with work and wedding).. Having tension headache 2 days ago, and was running a fever yesterday... My doctor was telling me to try and relax.. Haha...

Littlewoman> Haven't decided on the quantity needed.. But most likely 40 to 45 bottles (27 tables x 1.5 bottles per table) Is it too little?

Pearlypearl> Is the wine from Golden Hung Ho good? Got refund policy?

Greentwinkle / Charmaine / Cheenapork> I'm living near AMK area too.. I like the carrot cake and chicken rice from the market.. Western food from S11 near Jubilee..

 

[sunshine_baby]

My parents and in-laws are meeting tomorrow to discuss the GIL stuff.. Hope all things go smoothly

 

[saggiegirl]

littlewoman> yup the bedside lamps. Our bedside lamps looks like umbrella shaped...very cute de... then i paste the xi stickers on both of them lor

Yvonne> oh dear... poor u... last mth end me also sick with fever and MC for 2 days... doctor also say i look like puffy fish and ask me to relax... ah... tomorrow parents' meeting ah... no worries de... just remember to take notes of what is agreed upon...

easier to refer when u go shopping etc...

 

[cherie81]

Yvonne> Relax k. Dont worry to much. You have ti believe that everything will fall into place when the time comes.

 

[lovingyou]

Yvonne: Do take care.. mus rest well for tension headache.. Try to relax by taking your mind off everything.. Have a good rest after the medication. It depends if the guests at the table are / aren't good drinkers. I have a few guests who can finish about 1/2 bottle wine for dinner reception, thus, I have standby extra bottles jus in case. In my case, I have cater about 18 bottles of better quality wine for 2 special tables from cystalwine, the rest are the usual table wine from Hilton.

Have they meet before? Don't worry, everything will turn out well de.. Both sides are in the celebration mood.

 

[lovingyou]

Saggiegirl: we only on it on AD arh?

Not suppose to leave it on when we do "An Chuang"?
