Hi ladies, for those of you who are really into elaborate nail art, you can try Dawn at Nail @rtbar. Her website is http://www.freewebs.com/nailartbar/ - have heard great things about her despite not having tried her services personally. Be sure to contact her in advance as she seems to get booked up very quickly!

[lovingyou]

shep: haha.. no choice, coz I am like a "DIL" in my own parent's hm. My mum doesn't allow him to wash plates, doesn't allow him to do this, do that.. I ended up doing everything lor.. but frankly, I will prefer to be doing the chores when we have our new flat in 2012 too.. keke..

 

[lalaa_27]

lol Andy.. speakin from experience uh

 

[sun_tan]

Haha, Andy, are u one of them?

 

[dzxz]

Hi Purplerain..u still headache on the table arrangement ar...but your AD is round the corner liao...dont angry dont argue....maybe as your hubby to ask his mum on the name....

 

[bluerosie]

freegoer: coz my htl unable to provide they only got black cloth chairs but not table cloth..then unable to rent from other hotels as well..so too bad lor..we wan our theme to be red n black

 

[rierie]

phew! finally settle on my table arrangement le...all because of one good friend who told me this " u can do so much planning for the tables now. u have aly confirmed the number of tables and most prob, the ang bao that ppl are giving are also set by them le. and, it's also too last minute to ask other ppl to attend"

to me, as long as i have min 8 ppl at each table, i'm okie

 

[pebblydiamonds]

wow Jaq then u have to buy how much black cloth! then have to hem the edges also right cos the cloth will be very frayed?

littlewoman: u really are a "little woman"! but u set a standard like that, have to maintain forever leh!! pei fu u!!

i see u all talking about bedsheets, saw this new wedding design from sheridan i think. it's either those traditional cartoon doll design or those anime doll design, quite nice! for the brand and the threadcount i think not bad la, 350TC, 1 fitted queen bedsheet, quilt cover, 2 pillows, 1 bolster for $289. the only set back that made me not buy is cos it's bright red. clashes with my blue walls.. haha. but if u gals wanting nice design, good quality and suitable for AC, i think this is quite ok. saw it at Tampines BHG.

 

[happygal1]

hi girls, just joined this forum. My AD is on 6 Dec.

 

[pebblydiamonds]

[taime81]

greentwinkle > THe last time i went g2000 jurong outlet was during my ps in set. Got quite a lot m & l blazar. Shirts & Pants are cheap too.


Hello > Welcome here.

Shir > I also thinking of the super mini 1. Use hand to operate will do. Save space too. Usually i use thread and needle to sew too. =)

Littlewoman > Me opp of you, hate to do chores.

Gold price went up again. Now per gram is $53. Went back to the chinatown gold shop today. Godma bring me go choose my gold chain. Hubby got 1 too. Happy... Total we bought 3 chain, each person 1 pc, cost her $3k+.

 

[happygal1]

charmaine> u got winter clothes lobang?

 

[happygal1]

i am not getting any wedding favor for my guest. as i have arranged band to perform. is that alright?

 

[happygal1]

quite pekchek.. busy with work schedule..but still have to settle house furnishing .. plus wedding preparation.. worried

 

[pebblydiamonds]

hello: ah icic.. yeah quite a few of us are the guilty ones, booked quite early. oops. hmm quite unusual, i haven't encountered no wedding favours before. but well it's ur choice mah, ur wedding, u prefer to have lunchtime band entertainment, so be it!

 

[saggiegirl]

happygal1> hihi

me also a Dec 6 BTB

my bday as well...

37 days to go!!

 

[emeraldbride]

hehe..my AD is 26 Dec, means 57 days to go?? Kekeke..

 

[happygal1]

saggiegirl> got your wedding photoshoot pic? i haven't selected yet. haha. only took at 14 of oct. mind to share with us?

 

[octo]

Good Morning Babes!

Its Friday~!! Hee.. can go sourcing for our wedding stuff over the wkends again.

Jaq> Wa... then you got to buy alot of cloth and like what pebbles have mentioned, need to trim the edges. How many tables do you have?

LW> Im also opposite of you. During our reno, we also stay at my parents' place. My mum also don't want him to wash the dishes, then I told my mum.. you better let him learn the chores now, else next time we go back, there's only the 2 of us. If he's used to not doing the chore, then he will be expecting me to do everything. You won't want your daughter to turn into a maid right? So better set the expectation right from the beginning. Since then, my mum doesn't offer her help when he washes at the sink. Hehe..

Pebbles> The one that I like also saw from BHG, but forgotten the brand. I also saw some wedding sheet from sintec and another brand, quite cute looking characters.

hello> Welcome! I think its ok not to provide wedding favours. I ever went to my aunty-in-law wedding at QX (katong branch), also no wedding favours. Infact, no one remember about the wedding favour. Its until now that you ask, then I recall that there's no wedding favour for her wedding. I doubt anyone will be asking for wedding favour that night.

 

[bluerosie]

pebbles: need to get at least 35 pieces...lol

 

[octo]

Mine on 20th.. so 51 days to go~~~

I haven't go for my gown selection and layout confirmation. *gulp...

 

[emeraldbride]

jaq > 35 pieces is no mean feat leh.. cannot change to another theme?? mabbe white table cloth with black napkin?? Very elegant oso ah.. else u buy 35pcs of clothes wat u going to do with them after ur dinner??

shir..go shop for wedding stuff?? Wat else need to buy?? I oso din buy anything..haha
I tink the priority for me now is to clean my house
