Hi, I am helping my friend to post. He is looking for couples to do pre-wedding shoots for his portfolio. Anyone is interested here? He do have some experiences taking wedding photos but not much that's why he need more portfolio for his website. If interested, pls pm me for his contact.

Haha. Gdl basket recycle de. Look auspicious since it's red. Anyway my friend really did not have ap box. He is Indian but invited a lot of Chinese friends. He gave me a bag and asked me to put all e ap inside. Lol.
Guest wat, a lot of his guests didn't believe when I told them no box. They went to look for him instead to give him. So he end up have to keep passing to me.

u intend to buy AP box?
if u dun want the one provided by the hotel then i think u make one yourself will be meaningful.
my hotel dunno got provide or not. tt time i sign the package she say don't have. but then when i went down to see the setting there were 2 AP boxes there lo. -_- i asked my planner and she say those were provided. so i think i will act blur and tell her i need AP box when i finalize the banquet stuff. hahaha.

kai ying, I think shld be able to reduce the price de. When they see that u not very interested,the offers become better and better. Lol. Usually is about 2k to get back all photos.
Anyway u already have HK photos liao right? Then singapore one won't need so many.
Bought my si dian jin..but it is white gold de. My mom saw a very nice si dian jin on display at poh heng before, out of curiosity she went to ask. Total price around 8k! Think only rich parents can afford. Haha.

kaiying> sorry sala i kept thinking of HK. haha!
if your family is not teochew, then no need si dian jin. just some jewellery (bracelets/necklace) should be ok de. si dian jin is supposed to be prepared by guys side ba...i think can discuss with your hubby and see how.
loewe> wah, luckily our parents never insist must buy gold lo, if not cham. the jewellery will end up costing more than the banquet itself! haha.
your hubby paid or your MIL paid? my bf paid, i help him save $$ by getting a super cheap one. LOL.
ya, the gold price keep going up. when i was buying my jewellery, just ask for fun...gold price was like $63/g. so it will just keep increasing de..

If I m not wrong, when the younger generation serve the newly weds, the couple needs to give them AP as blessing.
For the pants de - for some dialet. (also not too sure for which group le)
For the SDJ - seems like even if not teochews, some also request for that, also depends on the groom's side. Thinking of that, $$$$ again. Havent go & see. Will let my FIL to decide what he wants to give me
I cant feel the excitements instead i felt so stressed up... too many things to handle le

loewe> your BS got give you accessories for AD? if have then don't have to buy lo. i only intend to use the BS one.
my mom say she will buy me jewellery for the tea ceremony. coz she say jewellery more meaningful to give on wedding day.
my bf's mom never mention anything. so also dunno what they going to give for tea ceremony. maybe just AP ba...
Ges> hang on. i also starting to feel stress. yesterday chatting with my colleague about AD stuffs. a lot of things to do. although prepare so much, on AD also got a lot of things to take note.
but my colleague say if go to those GDL shops, they will tell you what to do. all her info got from GDL shop when she bought her GDL things. guess have to start looking for one already.

Ashlie - Thanks. I think the pant is replaced by AP le.
flyingstar - I m not going to buy any accessories too. Use BS one.
My mum will be going to give me a gold chain during tea ceremony. Cos she also gave one to my sis when she married.
My PILs never say anything too... but i just knw tt my FIL will bring me to buy SDJ...
True. Even thou we had done so many things, but still got tons of things havent do. I m trying to minimize the things to buy. That's wat my FIL says too, he says just buy from the shop will do. I already got the tea-pot for tea ceremony, so i dont think i will buy. (save some $$)

flyingstar: my parents also prepared 2 set of jewelleries to me for the ceremony.
i show her the si dian jin and tot she will keep till ceremony but she i'll keep and it part of GDL items. and she said tea ceremony will give again. so usually what is the sequence for si dian jin, i keep or will get fr mil during tea ceremony ??
