- Thread starter w3ngal
- Start date
these few days very busy with preps for my business trip next monday, so didnt log in to this thread.
for our banquet dinner, we have to pay $6k with our own $. cos our table is $1.5k each and we chose the highest grade menu, so we already expected to fork out $. actually we set aside $10k for the wedding (prepared to lose) but in the end, we only have to top up $6k, so we r really relieved and happy about it! thanks to my hubby's generous relatives and my japanese bosses, they bao $308 each lor. hehe. at the end of the day, most importantly is we really love our wedding and never regret choosing Oriental! great food, great service! hehe. we r going back for buffet dinner at Melt cafe next weekend (treat by my coordinator).
btw, sorry gals, i cant make it on 17 Jun for the meet up cos my bday is on the 18th and i'm already booked for bday celebration with my frens on the 17th. anyway u girls can still go ahead without me! i will join u all for the 2nd meet up.

hi gals, how have you been? today is my 1st day at work. alot of emails to clear.
i'm a one week old Mrs Goh. still trying to get used to that. how's married life for u gals? i don't feel v different for mine. maybe cos we have already been staying together for years (at my parent's place). the only different part is that we have our own place now. it's really nice to have a place where we call home. although have to do the household chores myself, but the feeling of watching tv together in the living room, switching off all the lights before we sleep, checking on the windows before we leave the house etc, is really very sweet.

hi jo, i saw ur msg on my FB. will reply u here instead as i cannot access FB in office.
for my BS package, i'm given 5 gowns for PS. for the indoor shoot, i have 2 WG and 1 EG. for outdoor shoot, it's 1 short dress and 1 WG. i'm also allowed to choose 3 locations for my outdoor shoot.
have you signed ur package yet? i think it depends on the negotiation and which package you choose.

kittywendwend - I think I saw you this morning! You normally get onto the train at Tiong Bahru at around 0830h? I was going up the escalator and I think I saw you doing down.
Sorry for being so stalkerish, but I thought kinda remember how u look from FB.
My very lucky hubby just started work yesterday! He has been away for 4 weeks already, cuz after the wedding and Bali, he went to reservist for 2 weeks, so only started work yesterday! Ytd complaining that he had 481 unread mails. LOL.

Jo: Yep, it all depends on what u have agreed upon with the BS, and whether they are open enough for changes in between. Like my own attire, I brought 2 to shoot - one indoor and one outdoor and they are ok with that, as long as we kept to the time of shoot.
Kitty: We're still trying to settle down cos there are just so many backlogs to clear - like keeping/throwing our personalised decor, clearing my cupboards for his stuff etc.
And unlike u girls, many of whom are staying with your in-laws, we're staying in my house for the time being while waiting for our new house to be built, so I didn't feel any difference at all. Somemore the last 2 days he was lazy to come my place so we slept separately in our houses.

Kass, how come never call me wor? so u work at tiong bahru area? where r u working? me stay there and ya, i usually will take mrt around 8.30am.
Jo: it will have to depend on whether ur locations are near and if within each location if u have many sub-locations not. for us, we have 1 outdoor location and within the big location, there were a lot of different places to take.. u can also ask ur MUA to do a hairstyle that you can transform easily on ur own e.g. from a bun to a half bun/pony tail. this was wad my MUA did for me.

kittywendwend - Not sure whether it was you wat. Later call wrongly, so paiseh. 
It was like I walked past you then realised, eh, that person v familiar. Your hair looks damn nice, soft and shiny kind.
LOL. Yeah, I work in one of the hotels in the Havelock Road area, so will get off in Tiong Bahru and take bus to Havelock Road.
Are you girls used to staying with your in laws? My MIL always cook so much food that I end up eating a lot for evenings! Damn scared I put on weight! But other than a slightly longer journey to and from work, not much has changed. Must be the comfortable bed!
Piggy/Kitty - Where did you guys buy your home furnishings from? Going to start shopping for furniture, home deco etc soon...

I am shuttling in between my place and my in laws place right now, 3 days here, 2 days there etc.
When I am at my PIL's place, I don't go back too early. Usually around 8plus then reach home. Reach home, chat with hubby for a while, then have dinner. After dinner, most of the time I end up in the room reading, watching the shows i downloaded etc. And cuz not enough sitting room, so I end up watching TV etc on the bed until I fall asleep, that's why sleeping more than normal.
I dun usually go outside in the living room etc, cuz my MIL and FIL got their own shows to watch, so I just stay in the room lor. My hubby also spend most of his time in the rooms. My MIL also don't let me help out. She don't let me do anything then always say with her son and daughter (ie. my hubby and sister in law) they also dun do anything. Okay lor. If you say so.
Prisci11a - what kind of place are you guys looking for? HDB or Private? Resale? BTO? I bought a resale, just got keys in April, going to engage someone to do up the place soon, so need to start shopping around. Thanks for the tip on furniture. I might buy lights in JB... not sure if can buy furniture there as we are v specific on what we want. Looking for those Scandinavian/Mid Modern Century furniture. Does Lian Huat have different styles?

Kitty - is not you?? From far the hair looks quite soft and shiny leh. Never see up Close lah. . Quite straight, never tie up, reddish brown. I think you may be quite stressed from the wedding?? I drop hair when I v stressed... You can monitor and see if situation improve now that wedding's over. Also watch your sodium intake.
Prisci11a - got Jurong DBSS?? I never knew but clementi should have a DBSS releasing within the next 12 months. Land already sold by HDB so waiting for developer to come up with plans and prices. It's near the police Stn there if you know clementi well.
I also dunno how to explain mid modern century. It's referring to designs from the 1930s to 1970s. Retro but not quite as well... Hard to explain. If you google mid modern century can find many image examples.

Prisci11a - yeah... vintage may be the right word to use. Modern Vintage. LOL. Sounds like an oxymoron. My house already have an existing feature wall, so intending to keep it and update it to a nicer finish.
w3n - maybe you can start by looking at the local mags like Home&Decor and SquareRooms and look at the kind of looks you like for your house. After graduating from here, can also head to Renotalk, read the t-blogs, lots of interesting information in there as well.

kitty: my hubby prefers me with short hair cos it looks like his fave video character haha.. maybe u shd try changing the parting of your hair so the weight of the hair doesn't pull the line even farther apart. Also try cutting ur hair shorter, like shoulder length if he still wants u to have long hair so it's not so heavy and the dry ends can be trimmed away.

Piggy, i used to hang around bukit purmei cos i have a group of friends staying there.

btw, i just received some comments from my colleagues who attended my wedding dinner on 22 may. 2 got mild food poisoning, 1 got diarrohea and 1 vomitted. i have sent an email to my hotel coord. hopefully she can give me a satisfactory answer.
