So far no news for my search as yet. Usually these time of the year, won't have much to scout thru'. Will try again at yr end.
Cuclainne,
Sorry I haven't got ur link yet..err mayb I forgot to give u my email addy. It's - [email protected]
Marnie,
I got ticked off by my hubby at first for choosing such colour schemes. But its juz the creative side of me - getting bolder and more adventurous.But looking at my plain white walls with 'arty patches' by my little girl..urghh!! no words can describe.

IC : Visit Rouz Couture here. Nothing is up yet as far as I know.
Cuclainne : Pretty impromptu pictures! Budding photographer, eh? Kinda like our inhouse arty farty girl.
Where is Huichin today anyways?
It'll be a shame/pity if Ah Boy's family and friends from Sweden can't make it. It'll be good show of support, yeah?
When I had to come up with my date, I was agonising over it. Ideally I wanted it in early July but World Cup Finals would be on then..have to move it earlier. Bleh...
Ally : No lah....cool colours. I likey. Men typically like safer colours. Except for Meraj - he seems to be bolder than me in terms of colours go..

Marnie, thanks. Since getting the digital camera, I've been taking shots whenever I can. Some of the photos I took in Sweden actually turned out pretty good - thinking of selling them as post cards. At least I have something to fall back on, eh! Hahahaha ...
Hui Chin had to work late yesterday la ... I think she's super busy these days.
Well, his Dad and family are planning to come to Singapore in January in time for his 60th birthday. Already told Ah Boy that he wants to stay at Raffles Hotel before leaving for Thailand and Ah Boy thought of paying half of his accommodation there as a birthday treat. Wah!! That's 4 people you know ... Trying to get Ah Boy to persuade his Dad to stay somewhere cheaper. Lol.
I spoke to him about that - we didn't want to have his parents coming twice; once for the ROMM thingy and again several months later. He said that his parents don't have to attend the official ceremony - they hate everything about that but that they would enjoy the partying. Hahaha.

Hello girls
Oh.. today I went to Geylang and it wasn't too crowded. I am so cheapo coz I managed to buy 5 outfits and the damage was under $120. *Woot*
Cuclainne
Pls share those pics. Email me to [email protected] ok.
ic
Those attending my nikah ceremony would just be immediate families and a few very close friends. Come to think of it, ya they were the same bunch of people 6 yrs ago. Tih hih. No la, they are not required to give any angbaos/gifts. Actually, due to circumstances we planned to nikah 1 year after ROM but it never get materialised till now. There were issues and we managed to iron out most of it thankfully. So, these people knew of my story from the start, so to speak. No issues there, I suppose. There will be 30-40 guests attending my wedding. I have not settled for the date as yet. Will book the date at ROMM next month. But we are definately doing it in Jan 2006.
Hey babe, still waiting for your pic lei. Don't be shy ok.
Elaine
Do you mind sharing your lovely pics with me too? My email addy is as above ok. Thanks babe.

Ally,
I also suspect coz near to end of yr. So not the time yet. Yeah..i agree probably early next year will be more. It's getting frustrating & depressing.
Cuclainne,
Not looking at the photos lah.. hearing your stories how good your Ah boy is to you... hahahhahah..... Usually married women feel this way lah...hahahahahah.....
Don't get it. So your future in-laws not attending the majlis? But attending the ROMM or is it the other way round?
Lilies,
Oh i see... then i think you'll be the next to get married before marnie & cuclainne. Wah you so early shop for new clothes?! So many you buy?! I think not too crowded yet coz only beginning of the fasting month. Maybe towards the 3rd & 4th week will be crowded. However, on the other hand, for quite a number of years, the celebration mood for Hari Raya seemed has "died down" compare to the early 90s and late 90s. Last time when you go out on Hari Raya, you can see so many families on the streets wearing traditional clothes looking very happy. Nowadays, i can count...Mabye due to the economy as well and majority of the malays are out of job. One of the reasons why so many kebajikan asking for donations.
Marnie,
Thanks for the link. But nothing much to see.
The website still under construction. Hoping to see some nice baju kurungs / kebaya.

IC : Yeah lor. No pictures. Not up yet. I'm only taking one indian gaghra from them that's over the shelf. The songket and the dress they are making me for me. Negotiated lor...
Lilies : What baju did you get? For Raya or just the normal leisure clothes? Good bargain though!
Aiyah Girls, today sooo not in the mood to work....Bleh....

Marnie, yah ... so sweet until give me toothache... lol.
ic, my future in-laws not attending the ROMM but they will be attending the majlis. We're hoping to have the ROMM in January and the majlis/ dinner in March or April so it's going to be costly for them to come down twice. Ah Boy told me that it's not necessary for them to attend the ROMM event so we'll call them for the majlis/ dinner la.

Yeah, I think I need the spa Cuclainne. Checking into The Sentosa Resort & Spa early December for some R&R.
Hmm...Fullerton quoted Meraj S$300+ for a night's stay (without breakfast!) for a block of 10 rooms. Dunno whether cheap or not...but just across the river to/from ACM.

Marnie, I asked them if they could arrange something for us at New Asia Bar for guests to proceed there after dinner. They said they can't reserve tables but they can waive charges for about 10 people. Sigh ... you can try and let me know what they said about the rooms yah.
Good morning girls...

It was not crowded because I went in the afternoon. Weather is too hot for many to handle I guess.
Marnie
I bought raya outfits like loose kebayas. Managed to find nice and cheap ones at First Lady. Actually I saw some really nice ones too but they cost like over $100 a pop. Planning to go again with the hubby next time. More shopping till then. *rubbing my hands with glee*

Lilies : Sounds superb! I need to get cheap cheap one as size sample to send to Meraj's cousin in NY so that she can have a "glamourous" baju kurung made for her for our wedding. You think they have?
Cuclainne : Will do keep you posted on the rooms issue. Having a headache from finding central location (and not too expensive) accomodation for OOT guests.
Ah...Yeah. The Bar does not reserve tables. First-come-first-served basis. You're better off for drinks at Breeze at Scarlet Hotel or even Indochine Waterfront (they have private rooms).

I'm sure you can still find them at the branch at City Plaza (the one that has Arnold). My kebaya was $34.95 and now is only $19.95. Let me know if you need to see the pic ok. Got other varieties too with very affordable price tags. Don't have to burn your pocket for samples
cuclainne
Yes! I finally received them. Still going through the pictures. Will comment once I'm done ok. Thanks.

Wow you went in the afternoon? If me, sure won't go out ah. I don't really like to go out during fasting. Because..i've a tendency always want to "makan" when go out. Your hubby dont' mind accompanying you shopping at geylang ah? If my hubby forget it ah...he hates to accompany me for shopping. And worse..geylang area, very crowded during this season, he sure don't like to go.
Marnie
wah..splendid. You like to go spa? Which spa you like to go? I went to wayan retreat before. But i especially like The Aspara.

Marnie, I have emailed Scarlet for their menus ... it looks really splendid from the photos. Maybe next time, after moving in together, and I happen to have an argument with him ... I think can check into this place for some contemplation la. Hahahahahah... planning in advance already. Lol.
We hope to find an apartment that suits us ... would be nice to have an extra guest room for people to come and stay with us.
Lilies, will do ...
Any of you ladies, aside from Lilies, have been to the Bazaar??

Cuclainne,
Haven't been yet. Don't think will have the opportunity because now got baby. Quite difficult to bring with baby around. So humid..especially with the crowd,baby will get agitated.
Lilies,
You working or SAHM? Coz you said you went shopping in the afternoon...

I'm not a typical shopping girl but if there's a need, he is obliging enough to go along. We both don't like crowded places but we try to soak in the raya atmosphere at Geylang at least once a year. My mum was the one to be blamed for my outing at the bazaar yesterday. She needed to buy stuff for my sister and her children in Perth. I prefer to go there at night.
cuclainne
I've emailed Scarlet for their menus/packages one week ago but receive no reply till now. Oh.. that reminds me to contact that lady Marnie mentioned earlier.
Girls
The kebaya pics below. Two tones material with beads.

I am a SAHM. It's been 2 years now. But plans to rejoin the workforce are being considered in the near future.
cuclainne
The were varieties of food yesterday too. Everything smells good. In the end just bought back wadeh and nasi lemak, so boring. Had to rush home for Heidi's phonics and speech and drama class at night.

I thought I saw your double yesterday at the Bazaar. She was with a caucasion guy too. Very sweet couple. I loike. So many pics to see. Your Elias and yourself are so candid together. You look good too. Vey warm and cheery personality, always smiling.. that is my online impression of you.

Lilies : Wahhh........very pretty kebaya...Maybe I shall buy a cheap sample like that. I'm sure Meraj's cousin would like an option. (All the more I can hit the Bazaar and go shopping!)
Cuclainne : One thing bad, they are not really trained in customer service. Meraj has to get through to 6 people to ask about the suites for photography session.
And I emailed them on 7th and then this morning sent a chaser to both Scarlet and to the organisation that owns the property. Only then both replied!
Better call them.
It's a beautiful hotel..but really, not sure whether Meraj will be too patient with the service. Even I was getting riled up with them!

Lilies,
Oh..so far, you enjoy being a SAHM? Or you prefer to be in the workforce? You bought such a nice kebaya! It's a good buy! Aiya..you tempting meleh.. so dangerous.
Your sister live in Perth? Which area they residing?
One of my friend just got married in Perth..she invited me but sigh..couldn't go coz no one to look after my baby. I really wanted so much to go because SIA having offer, for booking of 2, return tickets price $295 only.
Do you celebrate CNY as well?
cuclainne,
What food you end up buying in bazaar there? I sure will buy daging dengdeng. Last year when i was preggie, my hubby had to go all the way there just to buy daging dengdeng and ramli burger. Dunno why... crave for that!
And i also crave for the porridge from the mosque. So my hubby had to queue for the 1st time just to get it for me.

Both being a SAHM and FTWM has its pros and cons. I left my old job because of my thyroid condition and was loosing weight tremendously. It was kind of hectic also as my daughter was in a childcare near my work place and everyday, I had to lug her and school bag plus my own handbag to and fro. But I like the freedom of a working life. Can go shopping at lunch, meet friends down town, have my own space and most importantly earn and enjoy my own money.
On the other hand, as a SAHM, I love the fact that I watch my child grow. As I have only one child and she's attending a preschool daily, I have lots of me time too. Can surf the net, can bake, can sew, can meet mummy friends I met online. I have lesser money as compared, but the c/card will come in handy in time of need la. Ha ha. Sometimes, it gets too routine that you wish you are out there working.
My eldest sis is residing near Spencer Village, at Thornlie. I believed it's somewhere at the suburbs, 30 mins away from the city. I love that place but Perth will get quite boring if you stay longer than a month.
My family and I celebrate both Raya and CNY. The relationship with my ILs is good and cordial. My mum in law is a good and kind woman. I love her chicken curry and she'll make an effort to cook a halal one for me everytime. At her home, she kept a different set of pots and utensils for my family. At CNY, the whole family will have reunion dinner and stuff. I'm just glad she is not a judgemental person and I get along well with my other sister/brother in law too.
How about you, ic?
cuclainne & Marnie
I tried contacting Catherine Chu many times today but she was never at her desk. Left her a voice message though. I'm thinking of paying them a visit soon or next month if everything else fails. Just to have a look see at their place and get all the required information at one go.

Lilies,
Hmm...not a sahm by choice and regarding ILs.. since you read past archives already, i think you will know about me lah..
Oh Spencer Village!! I've been there quite a number of times lah. That's a malay stall there which is nice & cheap! And can order a jug of soybean at a cheap price! Hmm..but quite strangely, they're closed on mondays & tuesdays. Dunno why...

ic, when Ah Boy was here we ate putu piring, otak-otak and such .. Ah Boy doesn't eat meat (beef, chicken, etc) so our choices are somewhat limited ... I don't feel nice cooking meat dishes at home cos he don't eat so I take opportunity to eat these when we're out. Hahahaha.
That's why we're lucky that he's coming over for now, and not me going there. Can you imagine if I get pregnant and crave for something like prata or durian at 2am in the morning - where is he going to get that in Stockholm? Most of the food places close by 9pm.
Lilies, that sounds like a plan .. do let me know how it goes ok.
You know, this has been the subject of much discussion with Ah Boy on whether I should continue working or become a 'marketing executive' - hahahaha - but one thing we've decided on is should we have kids, then I should be a SAHM for about two years and then start working part-time la. At least I'll be working (keep my sanity), and yet have time to look after the kids.

Lilies : Hmmm.......let us know how it goes with your talk with the people. Insist on a senior person rather than just the front office people cos' they don't know nuts.
No wonder my chef friend there is getting frustrated with the management....
K, Girls, I need to come up with a backup plan now just in case Grace International (or was it Hospitality) rejects my request for the photoshoot at Scarlet, gotta come up with a back-up hotel room. Need a hotel which is avant-garde. Or sleek miniminalistic - trying to play up the contrasts. Any suggestions?

Marnie,
There are a few boutique hotels in singapore. Check them out! I remember watching this show in Channel News Asia showing the boutique hotels in Singapore. The problem was... i couldn't remember the name. But i know there is a boutique hotel located near Orchard Road. Ask around...if you do know, tell me also leh! I even search in Yellow pages. But there is no classification under Boutique Hotels. All hotels.. (*duh..dunno what i was thinking) That time, i intended to book a room to celebrate hubby's b'day at a boutique hotel. But too bad lah... never got a chance in the end. Anyway, when i celebrated my hubby's b'day, my baby was so cranky. So hard to even take a happy family photo.
cuclainne,
alamak..like this everyday you have to cook fish or seafood.
Oh, yesterday my parents went to the bazaar at Geylang searching for daging dengdeng. I had that for sahur this morning! hehehe...
They told me the bazaar not so crowded leh... they went at 9pm.

Marnie, how about 1929 {http://www.hotel1929.com} or the Gallery Hotel {http://www.galleryhotel.com.sg}?
ic, when I was there .. almost every day eat vegetables and fish. The only times I get away with eating meat is when we go out with his friends (who tried to tempt him into eating meat again) or when we have evenings out on our own.

Thanks for your inputs IC and Cuclainne. We've been to Gallery and Hotel 1929. Gallery is not my cup of tea only cos' it's too intelligent (lights are movement detected!). Hotel 1929 is an option but Meraj is not too keen on that. *sigh*
Meraj suggested The Sentosa Resort and Spa only cos' there are parts of the places that are minimalistic like slab black concrete walls...I swear Meraj is more choosy than I am!

Chin,
So poor thing u..Muz take care of ur health also ya? Wah very 'dao mei' leh, car stationary and kena langgar..reminds me of my hub's bike previously ( he rides motorbike to work, FYI), park the bike under the tree then the tree branch fell on his bike (wah, heart very pain leh..) the whole bike flatten like pancake.
Cuclainne,
I was at the bazaar yesterday but not for sight seeing but to juz buy food for break fast. Sent my car to the workshop for servicing and juz nice the workshop juz moved to eunos. SO send car for servicing + also, kept my eyes BIG-BIG for bargains. hehe!!
Lilies,
U got a good bargain there having 5 suits under $120. I'm not keen in getting my baju in sg..cos scared I will meet another family wearing the same baju on the streets lah.
Went to JB on Tues eve to break fast and did some shopping over there too. Changing new look for my house + looking around for baju kurung. Had currently fixed my eyes for a family set. Priced at RM600 for 2 adults n 2 kids. Still contemplating...So many things to buy..yet so tight on budget..we try not to touch our c/card cos we dun wan to incur unnecessary indulgence.

Lilies,
Just out of curiousity, what makes you choose your venue, scarlet hotel as the place for you to hold your ROMM & celebration?
When i heard marnie said about the price, i nearly fall off the chair. That kind of price can get better hotels. And more freebies given by the hotels like free flow of drinks, bridal room etc.. if you want to hold it in hotel lah..
Hmm... did you ever feel like want to have your celebration back at the same restaurant where you had it for the 1st time?
Oh... i finally remembered! It's now called Restu Seafood Restaurant. Did you consider other venues? If restaurants, Lagun Sari Seafood Restaurant, Tepak Sireh Restaurant? When i was preparing for my wedding, these 2 restaurants couldn't cater to wedding and the latter haven't opened yet. They're both nice places as well.
Ally,
Yeah! Daging dengdeng my favourite....
Huichin,
What factors & happenings is going on? I also don't have fantastic ILs lah... And i can understand how chinese ppl think. It's the chinese mentality lah... Want to share... maybe can help ease your burden a bit.
Cuclainne,
Does your Ah boy eat bolognaise spagetthi? If he does, it consists of minced beef. Hmm..if he doesn't, maybe can introduce to him that first? See..whether you can whip up any of his favourite dishes..but used meat instead.
