ahblur > Yr mil is so fast. We haven't gotten any. Guys no coloring right? Oh color transparent. Just curious. My hubby will never agree to manicure bah. LOL. Ask him go facial, he also dun enjoy, he hate extraction. He just like to do mask, so i just buy mask and diy for him. Damn cute, ask me to analyse his skin last nite and arrange mask for him. Me also not expert, all my mask are hydrating, no diff to me.
Just a bit more friendly to them loh, usually i just smile and greet when i see his relative.

[taime81]

Ahblur > In fact, many of my hubby relative, i only met twice and that was only last year thou i'm with him like 10 yrs. LOL.
And we met at his grandfather funerals & 1 of cousin wedding which is within 100 days of the funeral.
Cause they only met during CNY and cny usually i go overseas with family. But luckily my mil quite understanding and got use to it.

 

[alxhan]

Hmm... some dist relatives are rather ridiculous... They don't understand that not everyone is super friendly.. Weird, ahblur, just ignore them la. Your MIL didn't say anything about it right? Let them be. Haha!

Anyway, Nmm, my total damage for Gowns and Photos is 16k. Its alot, i know, but i think its partly coz i went for designer gowns and good photographer. =p

 

[blurbaby]

charmaine/ashley..

i will ignore him.. he is not the person who give me the bacons.. or increase my bacons... if i keep on smiling.. i must be crazy...

mil.. okay lar.. she is very open.. should not have any problems.. i don't usually talk to ppl i don't know for long..

just now during dinner... i just had corn soup & other dishes... no rice.. mil ask me what I feel like eating, just tell her.. she will cook for me.. so sweet of her.. I will start to think evil... then i said... i feel like eating shui jiao.... hahahaha...

 

[alxhan]

Haha! Your MIL is really sweet. So nice of her. Good at least the relationship is not good. But i am that kind who will fake smile when i see the in laws relatives. Wahaha~ Must pretend, but its very tiring to do so all the time.

 

[taime81]

ahblur > Yr mil is so nice to you.

Asley > Yr gown n photo must be very nice then. =) I'm those who smile and greet relative kind. A habit i guess. So even for relative who i'm not seens for years, i'll still smile and greet but i usually don't talk alot to them.

 

[alxhan]

Charmaine,
=) No la, i wouldn't say mine is very nice. But at least i got what i wanted and dreamt of having eversince the hubby proposed. =) All brides are pretty regardless of designer gowns or not.

 

[taime81]

ashley > How much is yr cage btw. You diy very nice. =) How many pens you intend to have for yr cage?

 

[blurbaby]

charmaine/ash..

she is quite modern.. i ever did something terrible.. rainy day.. i just call her up & tell her that i wana drink apple & pear drink.. she still go to the market & buy the stuff & boil it..

i'm too tired to act!! this is the real me.. but when u get to know me.. i'm actually a warm person.. hahahaha

 

[taime81]

ahblur > She is really nice.
I never dare to request myself.
Always ask my hubby to request.
Love her laksa & pork cultet.
I don't act actually, it was a habit to greet and smile. Cultivate from young.

 

[alxhan]

Charmaine > The cage itself cost about $10, the butterflies is a pack of 12 for $12+, ribbons is about $3 a roll and the black marabou is $2/m. You can use the remaining ribbons to tie your GDL stuffs too, use the remaining butterflies to do the corsages for JMs =) That was what i did.
I intend to put 6 pens in the cage. =)

 

[blurbaby]

Junel: U can get from Far East... They have a lot of shops selling it.

Saggiegirl: how u feel after the jab?

 

[taime81]

Littlewoman > $2 / nail is standard rate for 2d nail art. Uusally they know we are bride to be, they will ask up put a lot of bling bling, 3d nail art etc. Can bargain one if you're doing whole set of nail.

 

[taime81]

All the relative will come for tea ceremony too?

 

[saggiegirl]

littlewoman> so far me and freegoer are OK... had a full night of rest last night

Charmaine> normal flu jab all clinics (public & pte) have

next week we probably taking the h1n1 jab ...remember that u need at least 7 days between the normal flu jab & H1N1 jab as instructed by MOH

so my side only about 20pax++... brother just place order for buffet this week.... one thing down

[taime81]

saggiegirl > Must take 2 jab ah? H1N1 normal clinic have too? Can take H1N1 without normal flu jab?

 

[lovingyou]

saggiegirl: u took 2 jabs? I've only taken the H1N1 jabs... Having fever for 2 days due to my weak body...

Charmaine.. Realli? I will check with the place before going.

 

[saggiegirl]

Charmaine> u can choose to take 1 jab lar... for us we take the normal 1 first, then 1-2 weeks later go downstairs and take if we really want to, as our clinics beside our block is all H1N1 ready

only H1N1 ready clinics have H1N1 vaccines ... correct me if i m wrg (recently very forgetful) and do check first before gg down

 

[lovingyou]

saggiegirl: I am not too sure too.. I took my H1N1 jabs at the clinic near my house too...

Polyclinics also have the H1N1 jabs too..

 

[happygal1]

hi gals, why need to take jab H1N1? necessary? my family doctor not recommend me to take jab now as the vaccine is still in early stage of test.

 

[lovingyou]

[alxhan]

Hi Girls,

Sorry, just wanna know where did you girls get your wine from and how much is it? Coz its a last min thing for me, the hotel provide me with 35 bottles which is 1 bottle per table but i was told that its not enough for a Sat banquet. It will hit 2 bottles per table, but the hotel is willing to waive off 12 bottles of corkage for us, hence i am sourcing for wine at the last min. Any suggestions?

 

[christmas09]

I got mine from Bottles & Bottles. Cheapest around $14 plus.

 

[lilstarzpebblez]

Ashley, think u can try carrefour/ giant.. carrefour has got alot of wines.. prices-wise i think they have a wide range..

 

[nmm]

christmas09: Hihi, i also took mine from venus

I top up alot from them

i simply love their photo and design

Saggiegirl: I also paid abt SGD7k plus for my everything. Its worth the price man.

Ashley: Wow 16k thats a lot. My max less den 11k i tort already alot u are more den mine

 

[lovingyou]

Ashley: I got mine from Crystal wines. S$16 per bottle for normal wine and about S$38 for the better wines.

 

[journey]

littlewoman, May i have the contacts for Crystal wine? and which brand u taking? do they provide consignment?
