Thomas: yah i have visited Peter n bf quite likes him... but we have not yet met enuff contractors/ IDs so c how... for now, he's definitely top on the list
Michieyun & Deb: yup!!! will read carefully...
i seriously think wedding prep is not the "siongest" if wanna compare to house...
ard another yr or so b4 my flat is ready but i can feel the jitter and sweat rolling down my spine after reading all your postings. ahaha
Is there a tampopo ramen there? The outlet at liang court is quite highly raved..
If not we can eat Mache? But then again, we need something not too sinful since we need to stay in good shape for our wedding
missy> found this website... http://www.cfc.com.sg/index.htm
think shld be the main company who opens Tampopo... there r actually other jap restaurants under this company... and these restaurants either at Liang Court or The Central...
Tampopo has a dessert cafe at Liang Court...
they hv the ramen shabu shabu seems not bad too...
ladies, I’ve made a reservation at Tampopo Liang Court on this Fri, 21May at 7pm.
for those who are arriving early, can go in sit first as they will only hold the table for 15min.
the Tsuru Tsuru Tei at Liang Court is inside the supermarket de so has no reservations unless u gals wanna try then we go to The Central outlet.
do let me kw if u gals decide to change so that I can call to reserve
actually i also just finish my reno not too long ago and i've moved in my new hse since feb... i thought maybe i can share some experience here... mine is a 5-rm flat and resale.. did it for slightly below 50k... i kinda miss the period when it was under reno... =)
ds: think I gotta give the outing a miss even though I love Tampopo...wifey sick, have to take care of her
missy: no need to worry too much, new flat reno shldn't cost a lot unlike resale which needs a lot of dismantling/re-installing, hacking etc. Unless u are tearing down all the given fixtures by HDB then that's a different story.
my honest advice: try to refrain from taking a reno loan if possible
Thomas>> I told my hubby alrdy, no hacking unless there is really a die-die must to do so...
I'm keeping the flooring as it is cos flooring plays a big part in the budget. If poss, I wanna buy OTR cabinets instd of custom made too. And probaby pay by mthly installment for furniture that are ok to pay by interest free installment.
Thomas's wifey, speedy recovery. Alot of ppl are unwell lately. Moi is one of them
yes u are right, flooring/feature walls/built-in wardrobes/custom-made furniture are the killers in any reno. if u can avoid doing these or reduce to a small scale, u shld be ok
Lolx.. Yup agreed w Missy..
Had my first gown fitting on Saturday..
Only managed to get a red gown, the color is one tt I won't wear in reality.. The co-ordinator mentioned tt the gown will b remade in other colors too due to its popularity n I can still change the colors. Is tentatively booking the wg in display but will b gg to second gown fitting in jul/aug
Haha bluestar me too, going to have a red evening gown, the co ordinator said red will be more outstanding in album. Am not a red person too. Going for my final fitting this wed, n my ps is next week, how scary
Btw 23rd oct brides, I think 23rd oct this yr is really super hot, I heard from my co ordinator that my bridal shop alone has 7 couples getting married on that day haha
bluey> my fren went down to BB last wk to chk out on the dates for their PS and she tried on a short gown that look like cheongsam on top with pong skirt... pink & white in colour... not bad... quite cute dress for ROM dress
BTW, happen to kw some1 from forum trying to sell away her EG since her AD is ardy over. price is consider reasonable from the material & BS she MTM the EG from... i din try it but got to see and touch it (actually is my fren who wanted to buy but abit too tight for her)
any gals here interested can PM me for more details
anybody here who r looking for household appliances, there will be a sale for Electrolux on 5 & 6 June (10am-6pm) at 11 Lorong 3 Toa Payoh, Jackson Square Block B Carpark
agreed with bluey that sometimes for gowns, we will wear something that we wont wear in reality...
be it colour or the style eg halter or heart-shaped neckline, veri low bare back, mermaid etc.. =)
the money changer in bishan j8 rates r not bad... chinatown one will be the chinese money changer at people's park complex... it's outside one near to lim chee guan... very obvious one as the queue is always very long de...
