[joos]

Hi girls!! Sth v scary happened to me when I woke up this morning!!!! I have outbreaks on my skin. I dunno if it's due to my new mask or mixing mask withy moisturizer. Or long term usage o Concealor! I wanted to die when I saw my skin!! Looks like an old woman!! Shld I see a dermatologist? Any recommendations??

Btw lee, thanks I got your email

 

[michi]

Joos, may be u shld wait for afew days, try to stop ur mask & that concealer 1st, see if that's the cause & also if the condition gets better

May be ur skin is too dry & tired. Try to keep it clean & moisturise...dun worry k

I've sensitive skin, having outbreak everyday is a norm to me haha...i tend to have more after makeup & during PMS.

 

[pocarisweat]

Amy: for 4 hrs, i think can sit budget bah ... 600 bucks can spend more on shopping and eating in tw!

Joos: btr let ur face 'rest' for awhile and not put on any products until it gets better!


All these talk about money and budget is making me very edgy .. just sms my htb that we have spent alot of our wedding and need to cut back on other stuff .. he told me every single cent is worth spending as it is our wedding ...

 

[lovebirds]

Vivi: your htb is so sweet...

Amy: I agree with the rest.. being practical I'll chose to take Jetstar and spend the $600 on other things.. every penny counts..

Joos: don't worry and get stress up... I also had problems like you sometime back and that was due to some products that my skin was sensitive to.. I am sure it will get better after a few days rest. Cheers babe.

hey ladies ! How are u all ?
Long time never come in here ! I was away for holiday for 9 days. Went Taiwan n Hk to shop for my "brothers" and "sisters" clothing ! hahahz I have settled all . So happy !

I have also just went to my bridal boutique last Sat , the next day I touched down. I have chosen my AD WG & AD EG ! I super love my WG ! hahahahz

 

[pocarisweat]

Welcome home cherry!

do share what is your 'bounty' in hk and tw! u r fast! so fast settled ur xiong di and jiemei clothing!!

you choose ur AD wg and eg so early! hee ... how they look liked? tulle? lacey? ^_^p

 

[alcossbossie]

Michi,

Me too! What bothers me most is the short lasting of the makeup. Few min after puting make-up even in air conditional environment, my make-up will start to melt. I dont know what to do when my PS & AD

 

[alcossbossie]

Anyone tailor their jie mei dresses?

 

[dreamwithgoal]

hey vivi and michelle, just to update you gals, i no need to hold my wedding for lunch cum dinner liao! hurray! btw, i'm with peach garden @OCBC and today the restaurant manager told me peach garden @OCC has the date i want as the couple did not pay their deposit in the end!

so happy! although it is not my 1st choice, but since it can cater to more tables and hv my preferred date, i'm happy!

 

[kittydora]

dream: Congrats to u. will u be having shuttle bus to fetch ur guests from khatib mrt?

Queen: ur fren lose 20k...that's a lot.

 

[pocarisweat]

dream: good for u! see! no need stress! hee!! u can now go prepare other wedding stuff!

 

[michi]

Vivi, so sweet of ur htb...at least he is not complaining & is willing to spend, unlike most of our htb here haha =)

Hi Cherry dear, welcome back! Tot u mia hehe...wah looks like u've been travelling frequently. So nice..u bought ur xiong di & jei mei stuff from japan to hk & tw

Levonne, my makeup also dun last but hope it will be more lasting after applying ampoules during our PS & AD. For me the worst part is..i can't apply thick makeup on my forehead, otherwise a deap wrinkle line will form & it takes months of hard work to make it disappear

Dreamwithgoal , glad that u've settled ur venue

 

[lyn_sg]

Amy, ellen: Thanks for your recommendations. I will check them out.

michelle: I factor 2k each but exceeded budget for BS and overseas PG so have to cut down for AD PG and VG.

I am going to sign my hotel package tomorrow. Anything for me to note? I have asked for waiver of alcohol. Only dont have 2nd night stay or anniversary stay. I did not ask. Is it common for them to give? Do you all select the theme in advance or wait till closer to date?

 

[kittydora]

Lee: my coordinator tell me don't have to select early cos hotel may come up with new themes next yr. But it's best to insist to c some pics. Waiver of wine is a must for me. Ask for canapé. Hehe I super ks, everything also try my luck.

 

[michi]

Lee, u can check out the home pg 1st with list of PG & VG websites & see the style u like, with budget of $2k each, u shld be able to find gd or average ones.. can try unique-colours photo or coffee and tea dreamworks for pg+vg package

Sometimes it depends on how many no. of tables u have..think most hotel package only include 1 night stay. But u can try to ask for it, also ask for helpers room..either 1 night, if not 1/2 day, free flow of beer, free food tasting, pre snack, any credit card promo for deposit payment. Best to select the theme closer to date, hotel mays have new themes

 

[queenie82]

dora: Groom's father invited the pple mostly from Malaysia, so ap collected is not enuff to cover that side's loss~~

Congrats Lee, now you can move on to other stuff~~ Like wat Michi said, themes might change next year and you can decide later next year... Mine also have 1 night stay only but i've got a helper's room....

My PG+VG with express highlights and montage is less than 2k...

Dream: the food from Peach Garden is good! i did consider PG @ miramar initially too!

Gals, I'm totally clueless on what to expect for photoshoot and make-up~ and i usually dun put on heavy makeup~ (every morning is concealer, blusher and loose powder only) The makeup for ps is really very thick?

Currently, i onli started to put ampoules on my face~ anything else i need to do?

 

[michi]

Think my dad is nt going to invite our Malaysia relative, the most 1 or 2 tables...otherwise i'll suffer huge loss too haha.

Actually my package has 2 night stay but i decided to exchange 1 night stay to free food tasting instead

Queen, i did considered PG @ miramar too

It will be full makeup for PS, thick enough to cover our pimple, dark rings...So that we'll look beautiful in the photos =)

I also just started on ampoules & i can already see the result hehe..i will also put on mask twice a week, use tonner & moisturiser daily. The current mask that i'm using is quite good, it leaves a glow on my face after that...interested to know the brand?...hee =D

 

[pocarisweat]

queen: the make-up will look thick but on photos, it will look natural .. so dun hv to worry

since you r already applying ampoules as moisturizer, ur skin will definitely be nice and smooth since yours is three mths away! heehee ..

what a busy and exciting 2011 will be!

 

[michi]

Yea ~ looking forward to 2011! Previously i was counting down 2 yrs but now we're down to 10 months...woo =D

 

[queenie82]

michi: yah! 10 mths to our big day~~ time zipping fast!

I'm worried that makeup wun stay too~ coz i perspire alot....

 

[lovebirds]

Hi ladies, my FMIL wants to buy si dian jin for me on Sunday.. not sure which type/design to buy.. With the gold prices high now, it's really not easy to choose something that I like and will wear in future and yet not too expensive.

Any suggestions/ ideas from you gals??? Help...

 

[cherry_chripy]

Thanks Vivi & MC !

Yes ! I have settled my sisters & Brothers stuff. I bought sisters stuff from Tokyo & HK and Brothers stuff from Taiwan & Hk ! hee

Well, I like to plan early cos like that no hippcups . Initally , I thought if I am able to find the clothings, then I need to start to source in Singapore ! hee

I will upload my findings in FB later yah .

 

[dreamwithgoal]

gals, yup i can finally move on to other stuffs!

i'm looking forward to 2011 too! my new hse will be coming next yr too so 2011 will be a super busy yr for me!! haha

 

[queenie82]

Liz: I'm not sure coz mine onli have the long-feng bracelets and my mum got it for me way back in 2000, when gold prices are not so hefty~

cherry: that's very fast! i've not even confirmed my sisters~

lucky i've not got my house yet~ if not will be very stressful~~

 

[kittydora]

i'll ask n confirm my sis, bro & emcees maybe next year mar. too early i scare they dun have schedule yet. if they have exams then last min back out not so good for me n them.

Vivi: ur htb very sweet. my htb refuse to do creative accounting on banquet loss. so i have less budget to spend liao. banquet loss also include 2.5 btl wine per table. end up i have to top up for my 2 pairs of wedding shoes if i wan to customise n get blings. no more blings for my gowns liao. sob sob

 

[michi]

Can i buy the hello kitty series necklace & earing for si dian jin??...lol

Liz, i also have no idea which kind of design to buy..but personally, i'll prefer a simple gold set so that at least i might still want to wear it occasionally

Dreamwithgoal, i can't find u in FB...can u try adding me instead at [email protected]

I've not confirmed my xiong di & jei mei too, so far only chop 1 professional emcee

 

[kittydora]

Queen: ur mom buy u 2 long feng bangles or 1? is those thick ones or thin ones? i only get fmil to buy 1 long feng bangle. I dun know anything abt tradition.

Gals, do u know if there is any guo da li shops in JB City Square?

 

[michi]

Doragal, yes there's 1 shop..think its at 3rd floor, near to the hk cafe. But dun think they set full set but u can buy some stuff & sticker there, the rest buy it here.

 

[pocarisweat]

doragal: tell ur htb it is a misrepresentation of true loss and market expectations are not that high .. hahaha ..

Cherry: wah say! u r so efficient! hee ... managed to take pix of ur AD gown and eg?

michi: hello kitty jewellery? hee .. will be so cute! but i still prefer mine to be traditional i.e. dragon & phoenix bangles and such as i m old-school ...

wah .. so steady! got professional mc!

Queen: your tw package got no mua to follow you during your outdoor shoot? if have, shldn't be any issue bah

 

[kittydora]

Mich: I dun intend to buy those bucket/pail/bathtub/pyjamas/lamps... I will only buy stickers, sewing kit,teapot set & maybe an chuang stuff.

Actually what are the things included inside guo da li/dowry package? what's the red umbrella n red fan for?

 

[lovebirds]

Michi, lol.. the idea of getting Kitty series jewellery for si dian jin is interesting...
Ya think simple set will be the best.. at least will still wear it during CNY.. On another thot, can I buy Rose Gold instead?? LOL

Cherry: you are real fast! think most of us here have yet to confirm our xiong di & jie mei..

 

[kittydora]

Mich: will u b wearing the hello kitty si dian jin on ur wedding day?

 

[queenie82]

dora: i haven seen it at all =) mum acting all mysterious loh~~ but i've seen mostly is 1 pair de~~ can ask the shop that sell you the bangle.. they shld be able to advise whether one pair or one bangle......

 

[michi]

Doragal, there's another guodali shop at jb holiday plz, they sell full set..if u interested, i can search for the namecard & give u the add?

Vivi & Doragal, hee coz i love hello kitty, have been eyeing on that range but i'll still stick to a simple set, more realistic.

Hehe, the emcee is my hubby's close friend, he host alot of wedding & he has volunteered for us. Luckily we've confirmed with him long ago..nw alot of friend has been asking him to do for next yr end liao.

 

[kittydora]

Queen: i go Onn Cheong buy long feng bangle. the sales person say 1 or 2 is the norm n he said 1 also can. end up i din wan my fmil to overspend so i buy 1 bangle. 1 bangle already cost $2k+. gold so ex. I tot it should b future in laws buy si dian jin/bangles?

 

[michi]

Liz, think rose gold & mixture of gold + white gold set for are quite popular nowdays. U can consider, if ur fmil doesn't mind

Hee, just thinking only..will buy the hello kitty for daily wear, not for customary la haha =)

 

[queenie82]

dora: eh~ i think by right is future inlaws buy~ but my mum say she also buy as my jia zhuang~ will give to me during tea ceremony~

 

[dreamwithgoal]

hi michi, i hv added u in my fb! pls go to accept my invitation!

 

[lovebirds]

Michi, I saw those u mentioned and they look nice, but not sure if fmil minds as they are rather traditional. Shall play by ear on Sunday~ =)

Queenie, you are right.. si dian jin is by future in laws and mum can also buy for daughter as jia zhuang.

 

[michi]

Dreamwithgoal, hmm i didn see any friend request, will keep a lookout

Liz, where are u going to shop for si dian jin item?

 

[queenie82]

vivi: mua for tw ps not included in package... but i think i will want them to follow~

Liz: my fmil also asked me to go and choose my bangle next year~ I know onn cheong's boss personally, so might have better price

 

[lovebirds]

Michi: I have no idea where shop for it. Fmil asked htb which shop we wanna buy from.. I am not a gold lover hence I am really lost now.

Queenie: Some of my gfs bought from onn cheong.. not sure if we sure go there too. Since you know the boss personally, I'm sure you will get some good disc!

 

[cherry_chripy]

hahahaz.. aiya ! I don't find it fast , cos we are about 10 months away . Actually I told my jiemei(s) bout 1 year ago .It good to let the sisters know the dates. Anyway , my Xiong Di(s) & jiemei(s) are super excited ! They are already discussing what they going to do and already booked their schedule in advance. I feel it good to let them know in advance , at least they can plan they schedules !

Cos they are busy ppl, must block their dates. hehe


I have already sent out the first email to all my jiemei(s) and show them what they going to wear .
Yeah, I just upload the board to FB !

Nope, I didnt take the WG & EG . hee .
