Hello ladies,

thank you so much for replying. Interrace: can you please give me a breakdown on the topics that you are required to learn? What we intend to do is for Ben (my fiance) to learn all about Islam here before he leaves but take his conversion exam over in singapore.

We are still working on his solat but areas like the shahadah and the five pillars of Islam, he's learn about it and but there is alwasy room for improvement. I've been on their website and did not really find enough information. I've even emailed them and even until now, have not received a reply from them.

Time is ticking away for us. Ben has been studying it and obviously reading up about Islam in general and only recently have been attending his Friday prayers. However, the mosque here do not provide a structured system which worries us as obviously, we do need the certificate of conversion in order for us to get married.

Two male muslim (non-converts) must be present during the pre-conversion and converstion section: please can you tell me the difference between these two?

I am still a little confused. Do you take the evaluation course before converting or can you convert first and then do the evaluation after? I think Elaine and Interrace did theirs completely different to the other?

Interrace: Whereabouts in Bugis did you do the marriage course at?

Does the practical part of the conversion exam only consists on how you do your 5 daily prayers? For the evaluation part, how will the test be given? In writing, will it be with essays/multiple choices or will it be verbally?

Cuclainne: Has your fiance started his lessons yet? If so, do you know what he will be learning and areas he will be tested on?

I must say, congratulations to you, Interrace for finally doing your conversion. Alhamdulilah! Thanks Huichin, I'd love to go for the bridal fair but unfortunately my wedding is literally taking place on the 29th. I've missed out on all the wedding fairs which is a real shame. It'll be nice to actually have the chance to have a look around on what different bdiral boutiques have to offer.

Marnie: I may be wrong, but did we talk in a different forum before? Your name sounded familiar. :-)

Have a good day ladies!
 
YEAY!!!! London is the host for the 2012 Olumpics!

Definitely going to get tickets to watch since Meraj's family is there....
biggrin.gif


Girls : I am alright with any place for dinner on either 14th or 16th. I block my schedule first.

Huichin & Elaine & Cuclainne : Yeah. We meet on 28th July for the Bridal Fair. Huichin can make it. I think Cuclainne can also make it. Elaine, can you?

Sya : Yeah - We briefly spoke over the Asian Civilisations Museum thread.
happy.gif


You can take a 2 hour marriage prep crash course. Or is it 4 hours? Anyways, it's one of those. The place is APKIM Resources - 134 Arab Street. email :[email protected]

Interrace : Yeah. Any day also can bargain. So, I thought of getting something silk organza...But knowing me, the moment I am there, I change my mind each time I see and feel a different fabric.

I have lots of malay magazines (courtesy of my mom who nicely grabbed them on her trips to JB) so can definitely can pass you pictures of them. Will try to post them up over the weekend?
 
Marnie,

hahaha..ya hor..me like the discipline mistress liao..hahhaa..

ok..next thurs 14 july.. or sat would be fine , juz reconfirm dates ya?
 
I can make it on the dates you confirmed lor ... just let me know when and I'll be there...

Sya: Elias hasn't started his course yet but I heard that it's an easier process to convert overseas than here. At least, that's according to what my Australian friend mentioned.

Ladies, I liked the clothes they featured on the Anggun magazine. I've scanned them so that I can email them to Ah Boy. Have you seen those???
 
Cuclainne : Which Anggun issue you talking about? Alas I only had the one with the Italian guy on the front page. Share share leh....

Ally : So how was your presentation? Hope it went well girl or else more mugging for you.....
lol.gif


Girls : I'm going to see an AD photographer tonight. Then another one tomorrow. Then decision crunch. Good news is, our email Save-The-Dates will go out this weekend! YIPEEEE!!!!
bounce.gif
 
Was he italian? I didn't know ... ooh la la... hahahaha. I think that's the one but I only got it when I came back so to me, it's like a new issue.

Must let us know your reviews on the photographer ok ...
 
Cuclainne : Oh yeah...forgot you were spending time with Ah Boy lah......
biggrin.gif


Did you realise the grammar in that magazine is atrocious?! I was cringing when I was pouring through it....
lol.gif


Aye..yeah yeah...Will let you have my reviews on the photographers...
 
Marnie,

yesterday's presentation - GREAT!!..I got an A+..wooo.hooo!! in fact was so relieved that i overslept this morning..rushed like mad woman juz now..

anyway..three weeks of jiak zhua-ing, can go to this thread every hour liao!!
 
Hi gals...

I should be can make on the 28th July for the bridal event.. Meeting next week ?? hmmm.. 14th July should be ok, coz I am not free on the 16th.. anything update again ya.. sorry for the short post... rather busy now
 
Ok girls,

i propose our next meetup to be on the 14th July - Thursday. Everyone can?? who cant?? lemme know k...and btw - where?!

tell me k...hehehe
 
Huichin : I second Ally's suggestion! Which Secret Recipe? Forum, Holland or Robinson Road??? Can forget the one at Suntec - always soooo crowded.

Elaine & Cuclainne & Huichin : Okie. Confirm liao the bridal fair date. Thursday, 28th July. I'll confirm the date again when the time is near. Anyone else joining us??
 
marnie,
How many outlets does secret receipe has? Forum is it Forum the shopping mall, the one next to Hilton? And suntec city..where is the secret recipe located?

Another thing i want to ask you... you holding your wedding at ACM right? How much does it cost to rent the function room?
 
Marnie,

The one at Robinson Rd closes quite early abt 7 plus - 8pm..there's another at IMM but a bit too far for some of them, no?
 
IC : Not too sure how many outlets Secret REcipe has. But yes, there is one at Forum the shopping mall next to Hilton. Suntec City is the one opposite Carrefour.

Yeap. I'm having my dinner reception at ACM, Empress Place.

There are two adjacent spaces that can be used for banquets. The River Room is the air-conditioned room. That costs S$2.7K for a weekend slot in the evening from 5 to 11pm. The outdoor terrace (River Terrace) costs S$1.2K from 5pm - 11pm on a weekend. You can go here under Rental Rates for more info: http://www.nhb.gov.sg/ACM/about_rental.shtml

Ally : Aiyoh....IMM too far leh...Go central lah.....I think Plaza Singapura is the best?
 
IC,

secret recipe - there are about 8 branches in singapore. I usually go to the JB's outlet. Same pricing but only in malaysian ringgit. definitely value for my money!
 
ic,
Secret Recipe got many outlets here. If in S'pore the one in the East area would be Siglap lah.

Like Ally, I also always go to the one at JB - very cheap (all in Ringgit), plus it's 5 mins away from my parents' 2nd home in JB!!
 
Hi Girls! Came back too late tonight.

Cuclainne : I'll post more laters about my meeting with the photographer cos' meeting another one tomorrow evening.

Sorry Girls. Not really too happy with the bomb blasts cos' hitting too close to home. Meraj is to say the least, pissed. We're calling everyone we know to see whether all is alright so a long night ahead.......

L8ters....
 
Marnie: no worries about it. i hope that everyone you know in london is safe and sound. i contacted a friend who has family in central london - apparently it's quite chaotic there now but everyone is alright.

there is a secret recipe outlet at plaza singapura, why don't we go there instead? i'm fine for the meet-up on 14th and the bridal fair on 28th.
 
Hi Cuclainne: Meraj's mom is alright. She was home sleeping recuperating from her dialysis when the blasts happened. I went through a panic mode when the phone was ringing for the longest time...

Meraj's brother is alright too - thankfully. He travels vide the tube every day. But he was out on the streets shooting his new film when the blasts went off and it's unnerving to know he's "exposed" in that way. Our cousins and friends are okay too.

Didn't sleep till like 3am trying to get through the network. It's the "not knowing" that really got to me.
 
Don't know yet Cuclainne. We're looking at just before Ramadhan but have to see. I've got court dates booked for the month....so Meraj may just go up there on his own.

Right now, it's just touch base. We'll have to see how everything goes.
 
hi Marnie,

glad to hear everything's fine.

btw..today y so quiet here ah? seems evevrybody went missing again..

Huichin,

PS secret recipe..also can.im ok with 14 july so how bout IC?*yoo hoo!!*
 
Ally : I also dunno. I'm rather tired and exhausted so that's why I'm quiet. I think I must have nodded off for about 3 minutes whilst on the phone with my client...
rofl.gif


Some more I'm meeting a photographer and then watch Fantastic Four later. (Note to self - get light mocha frap)
proud.gif


Girls : So far, it's Cuclainne, Huichin, Elaine, Ally and myself going for our "meeting" at Secret Recipe at Plaza Singapura on 14th. IC? Lani? Interrace? Charsiew Rice? Anyone else I missed out..?

Huichin : I have no idea actually. I have not even heard of it. Maybe the other girls would know?
 
Hi Girls!

My soo quiet.......

Cuclainne : You mentioned at our last meeting that you wrote to The Equinox re. the dinner? Did the people come back to you on a suitable package? I'm thinking of having a brunch there....Do you think you can share with me the package they quoted you so I can work from there?

Meraj has always been the one handling Equinox stuff but he's being a good boy and importing the email addresses and sending of the e-Save-The-Dates, which I'm happy to say, Girls, are finally out to our overseas guests (except our guests from Bangladesh).

Ooh...and Girls, did I mention, I have confirmed my AD photographer? Wooohoooo! Too excited!
bounce.gif
More on my choices laters....
 
I haven't called them yet - we've been recommended My Secret Garden at Middle Road. Have you heard of it? Anyways, I will call the Equinox people and find out from them. Will revert to you later ok ..

So nice - Elias is still sitting on his invitation list. I've been asking for weeks and he keeps saying he'll do it but my inbox is still empty
sad.gif
 
Cuclainne: My Secret Garden is in Sculture Square. Near where the new National Library is. Go here :- http://www.mysg.com.sg/

Yeah...I am actually going to ask the My Secret Garden manager to give me some sort of idea what can be done for a brunch of about 50 pax. But their normal menu is more of the cafe sort though. I wonder if they do full-on brunch spread, know what I mean? The ambience is great though. I'll email the guy and find out and I shall share it with you.
 
Cuclainne : Here's a sample of what My Secret Garden can provide based on my budget:-

Soup - Soup of the Day with Assorted Bread
Salad - Caesar Salad with Assorted Bread
Mains - (1) Pan Fried Dory Fillet with Tartar Sauce
(2) Grilled Chicken with Teriyaki Sauce
(3) Broccoli & Carrot with Oyster Sauce
(4) Seafood Aglio Olio
(5) Pilaf Rice
Dessert - Bread & Butter Pudding
Drinks - Ice Lemon Tea

* Above menu is subjected to changes at the management discretion. In such a situation a replacement dish will be offered

Food Cost : $ 30.00nett / pax (Min 30pax)
Corkage : $20 / wine bottle
Other Cost : Nil

Use of Space : Exclusive use of My Main Dining & My Lounge, does not include My Patio & My Courtyard which will be open to our walk in guest.

Table Set Up : Food & Drinks will be served Buffet Style

Think we need to go there and just "test-drive" the food and ambience, what do you think?
