[blurbaby]

shit... I have yet to print my inserts

 

[blurbaby]

it's getting closer & closer..

I was at JP for dinner.. saw a set of bedsheet cover which cost $280 + which comes with bedsheet & quilt but everything is in red color.. OMG.. I don't think I will be using it often after wedding.. will check out another one at IMM.. I love their bedsheets etc

I have got an innovative game by hubby's fren.. chai qing...

Outstanding stuff.. wedding shoes.. table arrangement.. buying GDL items..

 

[tksl]

charmaine, the winter clothes in the website, they look good! is it good for winter? u bought already? thinking of getting, but dunno how much is the conversion rate...

 

[taime81]

Shir > I bought it online & shipped back. Cost me appx $1.80 per packet inclusive of shipping to sg. I got order some extra, if you wanna i can pass some to you. The material is super good, hubby's colleague and myself we are so surprise. Cause photo look normal, but actual red packet is glossy and thick. I love it a lot myself. Free then i upload my wedding bedsheet, cause it is at hubby hse. The AP Box i bought at KL but JB gift shop should have too. Super cheap, i paid RM7.90 for it.

Ah blur > If you intend 1 time usually, you can get from chinatown less than $100 per set include quilt cover. Got traditional bride & groom cartoon. Silky material feel. A bit regret cause i paid double the price for my bedsheet.

Suzanna > Yes the winter clothes website looks good. Yes it is ok for winter, haven't bought yet. Ordering these few days. 1-2 yrs ago i order for my buddy before when she went korea or dunno where. Item look very good and keep warm. That why i'm ordering for myself and hubby. Conversion rate appx nt100 to sg20 cause those seller usually charge overseas ppl higher rate due conversion rate. =) But still alot cheaper than sg for sure. Sg trench coat for winter super expensive. Wanna combine order together so we can save on based charges? cause based charge for 1st 500g is NT220.

 

[taime81]

Btw, i also just gotten my elder sis a satin dress from dorothy perkin for my wedding cause my mum say i need to get her a dress cause she is not married. The capital land voucher really come handly. Good Deal. Buy $50 got additional $5. Gonna go get more tomorrow again. =)

 

[saggiegirl]

GDL wise can buy liao ... many places to look at

montage not difficult...just to find photos, scan them, do up a storyline

 

[babyfaery]

Saggiegirl: Hmm..wanted to find dresses from daniel yam for her but issit very common ah? Will have other ppl wear the same as her? And my mum find it a bit expensive cos will only wear once..Still looking ard now. But like very hard to find leh..

Food tasting okie.. Their food quite nice, except presentation not that nice..hope the standard of the food will be the same.. A bit awkward for the ti qin.. Haha..cos we wanna ask for SDJ but we not teochew.. thn my mum bery thin-skinned de..don dare ask..luckily i brought my aunt along..haha..hopefully everything was ok..

Where to buy the GDL stuff? I only noe of one at Chinatown, at the people park complex with a hawker centre below..But is theirs expensive? U bought the whole set? Or selectively??

Montage my hubby keeps procastinating.. But to add the effects like a bit hard..n don noe choose wat songs..our march in songs oso haven chose.. MUA for mummy n MIL oso haven choose..

Like lots of things to do..

 

[saggiegirl]

babyfaery> initially i also thot of bringing my mama to Daniel yam, but as u say, she will wear once and "sit" inside the cupboard liao... so we propose to bring her to OG chinatown shanghai tang and buy oriental inspired outfits lor

and then during chinese new year, other functions also can wear mah...

[lovingyou]

Morning All.. I've just settled on my 2 wedding shoes yesterday.. Bought my mummy's evening bag as well.. Happy to cancel so many things on my checklist.

Yvonne: Miss catching up with you too..

Why is she surprised of the white wedding band? I find it more elegant as compared to yellow gold.

Quite the usual now..

Sometimes eldery likes to ask silly qns, try not to take everything to heart.. jus like I close my ears when I dun like to hear anything. Just enjoy your food tasting and eat more to make up for that day k..

Babyfaery: Hehe.. Happy the you enjoyed the food and the session. Eh.. I bought my things selectively, but got most of it from Chong Pang Market for my GDL items to my in-laws.. My MIL got everything from Chinatown though..

Angelina: Had fun for your GDL mahz?

Cherie: Pls take care. Drink more water, the weather isn't good lately.

Shir: You have a sweet design.

 

[cherie81]

So stress.... Only left 5 weeks to go b4 my wedding and I still have many things still havent settle. The worst part is the guest list. On my own I have 3 tables that have 1-2 empty seats. I dont know how to full them up.

Hubby also busy. No time to go hunt for wine and buffet.

Worst of all I still havent settle my church blessing stuff

 

[lovingyou]

buffet? What buffet gal? Hmm.. U aren't getting the wine from the hotel/restn?

 

[cherie81]

Lunch buffet....

hotel only giving me 24 wine which is not enough. No time to go hunt for more wine. Need to buy bedsheet also. But lucky bedsheet I already know which to buy le. Will get it tomorrow.

 

[lovingyou]

Cherie: I see I see.. What is your budget for the wine? I got mine from CrystalWines. I took 18 bottles usual wine as offered by my hotel and another 18 as of better quality wine. Any cockage charges for additional wine brought in?

 

[cherie81]

littlewoman: budget <$20 per bottle. Nope cockage charges so long is duty paid. How much you paid for your wine?

 

[lovingyou]

Cherie: I got Jean Merlot at S$16.00 per bottle. Additionally, also purchase Alpha Merlow at S$37.60 per bottle. My hotel is waiving 36 bottles free cockage, thus got both wines at 18 bottles each.

 

[cherie81]

littlewoman: Where is the shop located?

 

[octo]

Good Morning Ladies!

Charmaine> How many packets do you have extra? Let me know how much are they, I do a bank transfer to you.

I bought my bedsheet from J8 and I didnt used the capitalland voucher lobang. Aiyoooo.. wasted man.

LW> Thanks. Hee.. its not those bright red one. We got another bright yellow + red one. Don't know we will use this or the other one for the AD.

AhBlur> We send the inserts for printing already. But not collected yet.. Hee..

Saggie> Wa..... your stuff more or less settled already. So good... can relax now.

Babyfaery> I also have the same items on my list and haven't go for food tasting yet. Aiyooo.. think we must hurry hurry already. Where do you intend to bring your mum for the clothes? I have the same concerns as you, ie. I also scare daniel yam dresses are too common, think will be quite malu if the guest wore the same as her. *headache*

 

[lovingyou]

Cherie: Their retail shop is located at River Valley Road.

Shir: I see.. I got both red for GDL and AD; AD one is rather traditional.

[babyfaery]

Saggiegirl

kies.. Hope she can find one she like.

 

[taime81]

saggiegirl > You're so efficient. =)
What software you using for montage?

Babyfaery > I also tried to go look for dresses for my mum &amp; godma but still considering. Didn't find any glam in OG Chinatown &amp; City Plaza. We thought of going metro too!

Shir > Have drop you an email.

I was at chinatown, pearl centre i think, got some shop selling gowns too, you gals can drop by to take a look too. The short 1 not bad, for sister etc, not expensive too but runs a bit small for my sister cause all the dresses like free size.

Babyfarey > You can try city plaza, got some not bad one. Lvl 2 - 4, but need to slowly walk cause some hid in corner. Lisa Penny gown is one of nicer 1. Range from $120 - 199 for long one. My godma try one not bad but cause she super slim kind, items runs too big for her even for size s.

 

[babyfaery]

Charmaine: Hmm..okies.. Will go there try!

Thx!

 

[greentwinkle12]

ladies, metro having 20% storewide this weekend, can bring our mommies there to choose clothes

 

[lovingyou]

Yes Babyfaery.. My mum bought her gown at City plaza, level 4.. It is a wholesale price, hence it is cheaper than those selling at OG..

 

[saggiegirl]

Charmaine> we are usin GIMP 2.6

more technical software... then we use Photostudios to burn into DVD with various effects and add song

 

[cholemel]

Littlewomen > How much does yr mum gown cost?

 

[lovingyou]

Cholmel: It costs about S$210. A cheongsum..

 

[octo]

LW &amp; Charmaine> Seems like city plaza is a good place to source for mummy's gown. Think we'll go there and look around if she still cant get any in Macau this week.

 

[charlenefmj]

im starting to feel IT already. haha
