Hi all,

I have 6 jiemei dresses for sale- all at $11 per piece.

it looks like that:

What happened was that i bought my first piece for $50 at HK... and then .. saw ShangHai selling.

So i asked my Jiemei to tried it - intending to wear the same my the day. When i got my china colleague to buy it for me , it was slightly different in size and my jiemeis canot fit in at all... i bought at RMB 55 per piece, so I'll just let go at this same price... and absorb the shipping charges...because i also bought other clothes...

might be a good idea for jiemeis- it should fit a S or M at max for the dress. It's totally brand new and still in the bags...

Please email me at [email protected] if interested... thank you.

hi, for those who have not bought things for GDL.
May i suggest you go to Daiso to get things like bowl set, sewing kit etc?
I bought a pair of bowls & a pair of soup spoons, a box & paper fillings = $10
I pasted a big "Xi" sticker on the box & it looks nice! so much cheaper than those teaset sold at GDL shops.
i also bought those gift bags ($2 for a pack of 10) to put the 2 bottles of orange drink. Just paste a "Xi" sticker & it looks presentable.

luv>> think hav to lower our expectations lor.. i also got quite a shock when i saw my TV console, got sharp edge when i wanted rd edge, but cos HTB mistaken what I wanted.. so got no choice but to get use to it.. so far, see it as a whole, try not to pick on the issues, then wun feel so bad..

ur inserts can print urself.. i see if I can get the print layout for u cos' my dad is printing mine. but may need different programme, I check & update u ok?

home appliance gotta hurry abit if u planning to stay in upon customary.. esp when CNY is ard the corner.

dun worry too much! everything will turn out just nice.. nice memories..

jia you fellow BTBs and GTBs!!

it's really less than 2 months to the big day. For my side, it's getting more and more stressful as a million things seems pending still.

Going to see printer later, I haven't buy my extra wine (about 10 to 15 btls?), jiemei's uniform not settled, montage nt ready, and worst.. guest list not settled. My PS shots also not out yet.. so the album not done. I want to rechoose my EG though.. so it's another thing to do.

Lucky thing is that I'm just moving into my in-laws, so no reno to take care of but I do have to move my stuff over... which is still in progress. Most of the GDL stuff is settled though.. i think.. except for the buffet. I'm intending to go with Liang Food Caterer (http://www.liangfood.com.sg/buffet_standard.php) anyone heard anything abt them?

Gee.. is there anyone more unprepared than me??!!!

Candy, I will be returning to Msia after CNY so won't have the time to take care of all the things and the hotel needs us to settle the number of guests by end of Feb. I was thinking if the people still cannot confirm I will not count them in anymore... at most in future during their wedding (which I do foresee some coming up) invitation request, I will stall and tell them the very last minute.. That's how they actually have a taste of their actions.. Since one wouldn't know how another feels during wedding planning..

j0yle_t, No choice lei.. I will be under the Msia company starting Next Mon and leaving on Wed after a meeting at SG.. for the sake of vitamin M!!

@smilem I bought mine from NTUC Fairprice lor! Hahaha! Now CNY got quite good deals. I bought my Alice White Shiraz for only $13++. Bought 12 bottles, they delivered to hubby's hse on the same day. So we'll just find one day to bring over to the hotel.

Also, I highly recommend AXXA printing. Went to them on Friday afternoon. The designer sent me the artwork the same day, and I replied on Sat (or Sun?) to ask them to go ahead. Then I got my inserts printed and collected on Wednesday. Damn tok gong!

Now my biggest problem is my guestlist. Sigh. Don't know how to start. I think my father haven't even start inviting. And his guests are like 20 out of my 38 tables.

But everything will turn out perfect on our AD. BTBs and HTBs...... JIA YOU!!!!

hello gals..it's just 6 weeks away to the big day!! Yesterday went in JB to collect all albums and photos and chose AD gowns. I agree that the guest list is a headache. I've sent out sms last week to friends to confirm attendance and now in the midst of writing the invites. Will send them out during and after CNY.

I'm also busy with new house reno at this point of time. Hopefully the house can be ready by end of Feb to be in time for our wedding in early March.

I'm meeting up with the hotel for finalization this Thur on the wedding theme and favors etc.

Allohhhhh gals!!!
wow, I've not checked in for.... a few months, everyone is ready liao ^^
Me arr... aghhhhhh... god help... I am not sure what to do...
Any brides signing with Qian Xi Group? Is there a room for us all to get ready (as opposed to bridal suite)?
I keep putting it off... now my wedding cards lying at home, still trying to populate guest list.

I really am clueless...
What else must be done?
Date = Sun 6 Mar 2011
Venue = booked (Qian Xi FP)
JP = booked
Cards = writing names
PS = done
MUA = booked (what is the normal rate for dinner only? is $450 for the bride too exp?)
PG&VG = booked (what is the normal rate for dinner only, no morning? is $1000 each too exp?)

Haven't bought my shoes @.@
Haven't done my montage
Haven't come up with schedule... any kind soul can share your timetable on AD?

*cry cry* so stressed with the HDB reno & moving, Ivy, I did try to get a lot of furnitures sent b4 CNY but cannot, so.. can only move in after CNY too *sob sob*

Oh luvluv, me also went buy accessories frm Tradehub 21 @ Jurong East.. cheaper by a bit, more selection

Shall we come up with a table which bride = which day & which venue?

Heheh, mine is right after Candy's

To all March BTBs, happy CNY ahead! I've gained so much since I started reading this forum ^^

Hi Pamm, my PG calculates by hours of service. So you can engage any amount of time you need.

You may contact Sze Ping from 10eyesGallery.com, humble & friendly guy who has won some photography awards.

Anyway, still a lot of things to be done! Wish all of our preparations are going smooth!
