Wah, u must get someone trusted to take care of ur money for payment... Alot lehz... Why so strange de...no credit card payment system for them.... True, settle ur banquet first, then later go for honeymoon if pocket not so big.... If not very xiong...

EL> Glad to hear that u have settle ur gowns... When u gg for ur PS? U top up for designer range? I think it will depends on ur gown designs, then choose the shooting location to create a theme... How abt sentosa? Clarke Quay also not bad... Take care ya.... Rest well...

Ladies.. My FIL is currently in hospital, critical condition. Really mixed feelings now whether to continue our PS this Friday.. Hope he will get through this period..

 

[ellentg]

Oh dear... Mrs Chua, what happened? is he normally healthy and this is very sudden one? hope he will get well soon *hugz*

 

[chingching]

Gosh, hope everything will be fine for ur FIL and get well soon..... dun worry too much.... think discuss with ur hubby whether to proceed ur PS or not ba.... Take care....

 

[sher02]

Mrs Chua> hope he's ok. my MIL was driving today and had a headon collision as well. hopefully will be discharged tomorrow if scans are ok. just minor injuries but have to wear the neck brace for a few weeks.

when my HTB's sis got married 2 years ago, FIL was in intensive care and nearly didn't make it too so the whole day i was so worried. Dunno whether the family issit everytime 3-4 mths before a wedding something major will happen.

I guess as much as we're excited about our wedding and PS, if you're not comfortable with it, can always push to a later date or you cant even smile and won't have the mood.

 

[gg_paradise]

Ellen.. is a sudden thing. He was admitted on Friday morn due to pain. After examining, doc found out is due to gall & stone infection, need op immediately. So he went for the op on Sat afternoon. After the op, the infection is very bad in his body, he is fighting very hard for it now.. realli hope he can get through this time.. doc had tried on using a new drug on him ytd night, hope the new drug work on him..

Ching Ching.. think we shall wait to see how is his condition on thurs b4 we can able to see if we wan to wan to proceed with the PS on fri..

Sher.. hope that ur MIL is alright too

2 yrs back, when my cousin bro gonna get married, my grandma passed away abt 3mths b4 his wedding.. so maybe it is jus part & parcel of life that some of us have to go through ba..

 

[thommy]

mrs chua: wish ur FIL a speedy recovery, dun think too much

 

[chingching]

Sher> Hope ur MIL get well soon...

Mrs Chua> Think that's the only thing u can do before deciding whether to proceed with the PS.... Take care ya...

Recently last two months my dad also hospitalised twice.... He make negative remarks that dunno can make it till my AD which affect me alot.... Kinda stress and sad... So can understand the feeling that u all are facing now... Now he's better after discharge and on chinese medication with regular checkup. Most imptly we mus be strong n show them our encouragement for them to fight against illness/pain.

Hope everyone will have a healthy body and mind during the preparation of our wedding~ =)

Sher >> Hope u MIL is alright too.. =)

Mrs Chua > i see... my daddy experienced something similar a few years back.. went to hospital for some procedures then kenna infection. He is normally v healthy and yet the infection striked fast and furious... he had to try a few types of drugs before recovering. Hope your FIL is getting better today

[ellentg]

Morning all~

EL > so you upgraded one of the gowns to "designer range"? hmmm if your htb doesn't like green background n common buildings, does he prefer the "natural" scenaries like sea, beach... or more "man-made" type like shop houses, street scene? maybe can choose those places that have special meaning to you two, then it can be memorable and won't be too common

hahaha thanks for your offer...

but i'm trying to do a cheap cheap budget reno... so can only look at those atas interior design and dream... hahaha

Sher > I think Rasel used to have some promo with UOB... not sure if now still have or not. You can check it out

Dione > I also just realised that there are so many things not done... now focusing on house almost forgot about wedding prep... haha

Mrs Chua > how's everything? still going ahead with PS tomorrow?

 

[chingching]

Ellen> How's u doing now with ur reno? Maybe u can go to renotalk forum to find out more info on reno ideas and etc.... If u still looking for contractors,I can ask my frenz for her contact and pass to u... As i think her contractor quite responsible n do things quite steady & fast...

 

[ellentg]

Ching Ching > yea i have been "camping" in renotalk recently so seldom post here... hahahahaha your friend engaged a contractor or ID?

 

[chingching]

Ellen> My friend engage contractor...but he has his own ideas... most imptly he quite ptompt to her replies and comments...Some contractors that other frenz engaged got alot of complaints.. and one of them run away with the deposit payment without doing anything. :x
