Actually, for Ikea, not all are easily spolit. You need to choose carefully, choose those made in Europe is a safer bet. My wardrobe and table at my mum's place are still fine after 5 - 6 years..
Just saw the exchange rate for USD and yen.. So tempted to go overseas now.

hi guys
wow u r all so early! i din know cant wash legs. i kept washing them still! its a habit to wash legs aft coming home. do u guys do that? some ppl think it is unnecessary. luckily my hubby and i both think it is a must, so no need to argue next time. haha...
tt time when we went S & C at amk, we were served by this young guy. he really tried very hard, too bad we have not seen enough at tt point of time, so din buy.
i initially tot IFC is a warehouse or not. was shocked to see tt its a nice building w air-con. swa-ku right? anyway we bought wallpaper fr The Montella during their roadshow at Expo. Turned out their outlet is at IFC. The wallpaper is much cheaper than Goodrich. Variety also a lot. Quality dunno yet, cos haven install. But i was quoted $800-$1200 for just one piece of wall in MBR at Goodrich. It only cost $450 at Montella including installation.
Thomas, I cant remember the shop at IMM. But it is right in e middle of all those furniture shops one lor. We saw a few models tt we like tt day. But the shops were closing already, so no chance to ask. Basically we only want those dining tables tt can match w a bench. Still cannot make up mind whether to take white or black. White is obviously nicer, so easily dirty.
The dining tables at Star Furniture are also nice. I saw mostly glass table top. But we still prefer the bench type.
Jaq,
i think at e rate tt im spending for my hse, i wont hv enough money to go for honeymoon. sigh...

jaq,
for me, there isnt space in my MBR toliet for the vanity top. so no choice hv to do makeup outside. i asked for full-length mirror in the wardrobe. but i prefer to sit n do makeup.

im still racking my brains thinking of a place for my outdoor shoots. u see, i have an indoor evening gown and an outdoor evening gown. i have been looking at other people's outdoor pics. i mostly see brides wearing wedding gowns outdoor. what happened to the evening gowns?
cos i think for places like botanic garden, lalang field and etc, its more suitable to be dressed in wedding gowns.
i know i've asked this qns b4, but other than sentosa, botenic garden, lalang field, paid pubs & muesums, railway tracks, cinema, which other places will be suitable for EVENING gowns? appreciate all advice!

HG > my wife wore her ROM dress... but the photos, all cannot see shoes anyway. she only wear the heels to get the height.
reason why most photos, outdoor only wear gown is because its have to change clothes outside, especially when you are rushing for time between locations. can't imagine going to a public toilet to change between your gown and evening gown.

oops i meant to say ... My wife wore her ROM shoes 
. Recently the hands typing cannot match what my brain is thinking.
it doesn't really matter. if it bothers you, can tell ur photographer that the shoes should not be visible. narrow down liao easier to suggest
are you planning for a evening/night shoot ? what type of setting are you looking for ? normally 3 locations, people tend to pick 3 different types of background. mine was 1 greenery, 1 building, 1 beach.

Morning all~
Thomas Tako Choo> Enjoy ur HM!

happy girl > Chijmes, MBS - helix bridge.. Saw a bride wearing evening gown taking PS at labrador park.
do not know for others.. but my BS told me PG will bring me to a place (toilet) to change from WG into EG during outdoor PS.. Heard the same things from my friends (those who have taken PS) too..
The toilet, from what I heard, is rather clean, dry and spacious.

Morning all. Now that Tako Choo is having his HM, I think the forum will be much quieter.
Deb> Since the diamond is free, can't expect too much.
How's your reno coming? Got your renovator?
Ellen> Before I forget, my fan brand is Elmark. Not too sure if the mkt have this brand now as it's pretty old le.
Happy Girl> Evening gown is better for night shoot I feel. So places like Fullerton, Ion and Helix bridge will bring out the EG.

HG > haha no my gowns are not too long for me. My PG said no problem with sport shoes, they'll know what to do is a matter of capturing at different angles to avoid the shoes. As for the running part... my running shots are at the beach, so i went bare-footed
just btw, i wore a red EG for daytime outdoor shots, actually okie de... i'm sure many pple did that
i've seen someone's photos in EG at the lalang field, i think it looks great too~
Booy > haha thanks... yup Elmark is still quite a popular brand now. since it is still working after so many yrs, i will shortlist this brand also... hee hee
Alicia > my home's thermal pot is Thermos... i think for thermal pot, it's worth it to buy a better brand since you can use it for many, many years. my home one is 13 yrs old liao.

belinda,
need to pay to take photoshoot at chijmes right? MBS is marina barrage? wah, photographer has a special hangout for brides to change huh... if we dun pay for the makeup artist to follow us, means we have to change our gown on our own. like quite difficult hor.
ellen,
taking photos in sports shoes sounds so comfy! but ill prefer to take in slippers. haha... my outdoor evening gown is light purple so i guess even if i take in the daytime is fine.
darrel, booy
i can only go to 2 outdoor places. one i have decided on railway. have emailed novotel and they agreed to let me take pictures at the lounge/bar. yeah, then i can wear my evening gown! i dun wan esplanade, flyer, suntec area already. cos went there during rom outdoor shoots.
if they allow me to go one more place, then ill prolly go for greenery...
i added some pics of my gown selection n house reno(still quite initial stage) in facebook. can go see if u like!

Alicia > thermal pot is quite useful... we use it to cook soup, porridges, desert.... etc. *yummy*
HG > i think MBS = Marina Bay Sands.... light purple will be nice for outdoor shots~
oh my friend also wore slippers for her PS... it's all up to individual preference
or you can actually bring a pair of heels along, only for shots that will be good to show heels then only change to heels...
May i add you on FB?
can i assume that the e-mail in your FB is same as that for your PM?

Happy Girl> If you want greenery and the outdoor locations cannot be too far away from Novotel, prob only botanical garden and hort park.
Ellen> That's good. Then you have more choices. I feel that ceiling fan is really good for me.
Alicia> I will suggest Tiger and Elephant brands. They are known to be durable.
