Any Mixed Marriages here? Esp Chinese-Malay Muslim couple

Marnie

Thanks for the email .. will have to sit down and discuss this with FH first. After all, I'm only doing the planning and he's doing all the paying ... hahahaha!

Zierella, thanks. It's kind of hard because you have to think of names that compliment each other ... and I didn't want the usual names like Bjorn or Gustav or ultra traditional like Ulla or Gunnar. Hahahahah ... I think my family might raise some eyebrows but that's ok ... my nephew's middle name is D'Shaun .. and my sis ended up calling him D. See la...
 


Cuclainne & Marnie,
Eh, haven't get married, already think of babies name huh?
325012.gif
so on! You girls planning to have babies straightaway?

Zierella,
Inai is ok. I've friends & cousin who engaged them. Not bad. They also do outdoor photography. Very nice. So which chinese bs you took? And where you going to hold your chinese dinner?
Wah..i can imagine your wedding expenses. A lot man! There are artistic malay photographers. After my wedding, only then i came across them. But i couldn't remember what is their company name. You can buy the perkahwinan magazines. And in fact they charge cheaper compare to chinese because theirs is for 2 days. But if you can't find, and budget is not your concern, just grab any of the chinese photographers lah.

By the way your welcome flag..

as promised last night.

So you got your lovenest already? Where will you be staying after wedding?

Ally,
Not my cup of tea lah. Nak layan the bride & groom punya perangai not easy man.. But during my wedding, i did a lot of research so that's why i know lah. Especially more towards the chinese side. So my in-laws nak bodoh-bodohkan i pun tak boleh. Salah orang! This malay lady educated ok.

Of course, must be so on!! Lol. Me ah ... not planning to have babies straightaway but if happens to be so, we would be happy too! Heheheh ..
 
wah *faint*... lots of information provd by u ladies.. must've done so much research yah..? some of u hv even thot of babies names! hmm..looking fwd to extending ur family tree is it...

marnie, tks for the info on photographer and videographer. hv yet to meet up wif ppl fm flipside. but i'm v interested in knowing more abt ur photographer, eulee. it's definitely a plus point if he can communicate in malay, so he can layan my nenek's requests. can u pls email me his quotations? my addy: [email protected]. tks tks!

cuclainne, since u are still looking ard for BS, do u intend to see see look look at Inai and Fatimah Mohsin? if not, why leh..?

ic, tks for the welcome flag! yah lah, feel very welcomed already.. wat with all the advise that u girls are giving.
happy.gif
u are rite man, this whole wedding thingy is sure going to cost a bomb. i engaged paris brides to take our pics for our dinner reception. heard of it? after the wedding we still need to engage another service to take indoor photography. malay one this time coz we need to wear baju kurungs lah.. but hv not decided which one.

our chinese dinner will be held at crown htl. malay dinner in restaurant lah... cannot cover per head cost.. haha.. how abt u girls? u all will be staying on ur own? where ah? recently we just got a queue nbr thru balloting. single digit for BM! wah piangs damn happy man! we've been 'aiming' for tt place since many yrs back, even b4 the flats were built! khekhe..

btw do u girls buy anggun and perkawinan mags? i cant seem to get the latest copies. wat happen... does anyone know?

eh sori if i'm so lor sor.. too many questions, too many things to know.

oh yah, wld like to say hello to nur! i'm a newbie here just like u.. quite thick skinned lah, just barged in wif my big bums and 'hentam' them with questions.. heeheeeee!
 
Sandra,
Yes, heard before of paris brides. Congrats on your balloting! Heard that area quite "hot". It's like that lah... wedding sure cost a bomb. So while waiting for your new flat, where you going to stay?
 
IC

Yes, nature will definitely take its course... hahahaha.

Sandra

I think someone from this thread had engaged Inai as their BS .. or am I wrong? Hmmm ... I did think of going to have a look at Fatimah Mohsin but so expensive!! Maybe I should just have a look for the fun, eh?

The latest Perkahwinan magazine has the photo of Rafi Ali, the footballer and his wife on the cover... I think. The last Anggun magazine that I bought has Haney Hadad on its cover. Did you get these? I know ... very difficult to get Malay wedding magazines and I don't really fancy the Malaysian ones la.
 
I think Interrace engaged Inai.....or was it Elaine. I blur blur already...
rofl.gif


I have the latest Perkahwinan (with Rafi Ali and wife on the cover). I also have the older ones. Want to get rid of the older ones cos' I've no space liao and I've confirmed almost everything - let me know if anyone wants them. I just need to flip through the mags for designs for my modern kebaya for my shoot only. So vain right?
biggrin.gif


Sandra, I've emailed you the quotes. I'd recommend Eulee and Choon Huat of Fast Soup (he's also listed on Singapore Brides) Eulee shoots in digital and Choon Huat in film. Both styles and packages are almost the same.

IC, where babies are concerned, you need to talk about it before anything. Meraj and I came up with names while we go jalan jalan. Very free right?
rofl.gif
 
marnie,
Yah..very free!!!
325105.gif
Last time when i was still dating my hubby, we always talked about what we want in the future.
325106.gif
But in the end, until now, i cannot see what we planned actually go through. Except wedding lah.. even then, a lot of obstacles & hurdles to reach the point. Bottomline, obtained something without blessings. For other things, the future still not attained yet. Very dark. Sometimes what married couples said is true. Before marriage, different storyline compare to after marriage. Usually hope for the better. But reality, doesn't.
325107.gif
 
I tend to agree with what you say IC. Meraj and I got to talk about babies cos' well, we began dating with him absolutely sure that he doesn't want kids (I don't know why his stand was that when he is great with kids and kids love him!) and I want kids for sure. We talked about everything and the kids topic came up. He's now open to the idea of having kids and my attitude is now if I have rezeki to have kids, then of course, I want them. If not, then it's takdir.

Kids are different cos' well, it's not like say a house or a car....we can't just throw them away or sell them off so really need to talk about them before marriage lor. (I sounding like mak nenek now...
lol.gif
)

Zierella, Sandra & Nur! Welcome to our thread! Me pretty caught up wif work, as usual...so abit the late ah my welcomes! haah..

Whoa.....tok abt kids and names liao...me still so far far away...
kao_dizzy.gif
 
Hi Ladies!!

Me juz came back from Arab St, purchased some materials for my students' concert costumes. Walked pass Anggun Andaman - wow, see the bridal kebayas..so nice! Anyway, my time over liao..can juz drool over them..hehehe

hiNur,

welcome, welcome!!

Cuclainne,

Watever I can cook..I cook lah..if tak sedap..jangan complain ya?
 
gals..

WOW... how to read huh ?!?!#*@#!!!.. too many posts liow la.. hahah cant catch up with you gals liow.. how !!!

marnie..
Me the one engaged Inai la.. who asking huh ?? blur liow coz dunno where and how shall I start to read thru all the posts lei..
 
Talking abt kids..

When I first went out with hubby, the topic - children, don't even come across my mind. Even when I was pregnant, I didn't know that I had already conceived till 4 mths later..can even go gym n carry weights at tat time.

Wat u said is true lah , Marnie, depending on rezeki n takdir, we can't force nature.
 
Elaine, yeah yeah...I always get confused between yours and Interrace. That means Interrace engage ZulRadi? Hmmpppff....me getting old, cannot remember who I recommend to what...
lol.gif


Anyways Elaine, Sandra engaged Inai. You should tell Sandra that your make-up damn good ler on your wedding day....
happy.gif
must recommend to her your MUA.

Before you start cooking Ally, better get headcount. Later you cook cook no one come leh...So hands up Girls, who can make it to Ally's place this Sunday....
 
yes yes one of the main reason why i kinda like inai is bcoz of their bridal make-up.. not too wayang lah.
elaine, wah gd to know they did a gd job for u. who's the make up artist eh? and wat kind of outfits did u choose? u got married pretty recently rite...? congrats! errr.. think u can show me some of ur beautiful pics?
 
Hihihi!!
Thanks for the welcome.. I lagi embarrassed cos I not entering into a mixed marriage.. haha.. By the way, i used sofia as my nic here because i want to name my daughter sofia..

I have engaged bridal concept for PS and decorama for decor duh.. Currently, considering Fatimah Mohsin and Zulradi for BS but heard lotsa bad stuff abt Fatimah Mohsin's service tho I haven't experienced it myself. Zulradi looks ok but I read somewhere that the hairstyles dun turn out good.. and I checked it out.. I think it's true from the pictures I saw. He likes to do Medusa styles hehee..I am looking for AD photography too.. and I saw Eu Lee's work .. very nice. I wanna see his charges too..can tell me also?? I have to book all my stuff by December, if not cannot get married.. haha Actually I have a meeting now so gotta rushh. Be back later!! wld love to chat more.
 
Meeting postponed for 5 mins so can chat a bit more
biggrin.gif


Cuclainne, Sandra,

Do you know how much Inai is charging for a day's work and 2-3 outfits? I know Fatimah Mohsin charges $1080 for one day, 2 outfits and about 300-400 bux for add-on AD photography.

I saw DshootZstudio's work.. their AD stuff is good but ex.. about 1k and when you ask them to compile and put into this gorgeous custom-made photo album (warning: this is really beautiful!!), they charge another 400.. so total abt 1.4K for the works.
 
Elaine, welcome back ... where did you go la?

Ally, I am sure that your cooking is great la. Had years of practice already right? Sure to be power one! But I'm not sure if I can make it to your house this weekend... if I happen to make a surprise visit, can share food with someone or not? Hehehehe.

Nur, I am not sure of Inai's charges but Rias Andaman charges $750 for a day's work with 2 pairs of costumes la.
 
Quick post cos' I'm rushing off for a damn long meeting with greedy beneficiaries....Bleh..

Nur, you may wish to try out Poise Photography. But if your event is not a one-day event, he may not be willing to negotiate his prices. If yours is a one day event, both Lilies and myself got quoted S$750.00.

Re. Fatimah Mohsin, Interrace and I both had bad service on our first appointment. Like as if we are too low class for their standards so I was pissed and refused to engage them no matter how beautiful their clothes are.

K bellas, need to rush. More laters.
 
Smart gals,
How do you 'bold' the names for ppl you trying to address in this thread? .. hehe.. ya i am a chat dodo
kao_confused2.gif
my 1st chat ok!!

Sandra,
Ive been to several weddings at Crown.. the food is great there so yay! great choice.. And tomorrow, going there again for dinner so me looking forward!

Idyll,
Thank you.. Will check out Poise! Btw, Bridal Concept charges 600 for AD.

Got to go off, chat later!
 
Nur,
I'm beginning to reli like u lah... donno why but we seem to be at the same stage (i also dont know how to bold the girls' names..malu malu..
kao_blush.gif
) and go for the same stuff (as in BS,photography). But u are more hardwrkg lah, seems tt u hv found out quite a lot of the pkgs on offer. For me, I keep compiling n compiling all the different PS and BS but havt reli got cracking.
Glad tt u find the food at crown ok. I havt reli been to a weddg there but decided to engage them due to their location and of course most importantly cost, lah. but their lighting seems kinda dark ah..? and not too pleased with the decor oso... need to work on it with the florists.
As for Inai, I took up their 2nd pkg which costs abt $1.6k+ i think (cant reli remember). if i'm not mistaken the first pkg costs abt $900+ or slightly abv $1k but not sure if it's for only 1 day & whether incl photography. they refuse to print for me details of other pkgs except the one i took up.

when's ur AD? seems tt u are in a hurry to settle everything by Dec... got ur love nest already?

Marnie,
Got ur mail! tks yah! will hv to sit down and discuss somemore with FH lah.. i'm kinda alone in planning for AD stuff, coz he's more interested in the 'reno' threads.. duh boring lah..

ok gotta go for lunch soon... looking fwd to more of ur replies, people!
 
Hi Sandra and Nur..

Welcome welcome...
Yeah me just got married on Sep/05, will email you the pics, my make up artist was really good. her name is Sha,remember to ask for her from Inai, will email you more details. You need AD photography too, my AD photogrpher also not bad, and cheap too, maybe you take a look at my pic and let me know yeah..

Cuclainne..
THanks yeah.. me very busy lor, also becoz office PC not working, thats why cant log in at all.. my two weeks before Raya was really drama, stayed late and cooked for hubby, slept alomost 4 plus everynight and woke up 8plus to go work, thats why ended up I got myself sick lor and also my fasting really went hay wire la.. help in-law to bake cookies plus searh high and low for my RAya's baju.. I think i am much more busy on RAya than Chinese New Year !! hahahahaha...

Gals..
Your going to Ally's place this coming Sunday ?? comfirmed and what time ??
 
Marnie,
Thanks!! Now a bit more pro.. hehe

Sandra,
I have no love nest yet. Will look into that in Dec also.. hehe no lah.. next year actually. Planning to buy resale but resale a bit troublesome.. the timing must be right. So probly, can only get really near the wedding altho no harm looking from early on.

I guess i always see Dec as a safe period before 2006 comes lah.. I'm hoping just to settle the BS, AD photography and catering by Dec. Venue is CC (boring rite? but going with this cos best for relatives) so can only book next year. My AD is Aug 2006:-)

Where's your new place? BM means?? Hehe.. tomorrow at Crown Prince, I check if the lighting is too dark... maybe i can complain so plus your making noise will be more effective.
kao_cheers.gif

I already booked with her u know..cos i was SO IN LOVE with her make up...the person attending to me was a makcik, and she was kinda nice and attentive plus fatima also talked to me, and i found that she was quite nice too!...i hope there wont be any unpleasant encounters on my AD...sigh..but hey...just for those who have not booked their mak andams, u should try anggun andaman...my cousin booked with them n she was sooo gorgeous looking..!!! the costumes were really nice too..very fashionable and up to date!
 
I'm soooo sleepy.......
kao_yawn.gif


IC, I've sent you a reply.

Zieralla, I suppose it's rather subjective. I'm great with all my vendors (prospective or not) currently. So, Fatima Mohsin BS really pissed me off. I'm not saying the owner herself but the staff were crappy. Nose high high. Just cos' I waas wearing jeans and T then does not make me non-educated or have no money, know what I mean?

Aiyah....disgress already. We all want the best for our wedding so, maybe your experience will be much much better. Have faith in your choice and I'm sure it'll be best-nye.
happy.gif


Chin, aiyah....2007....I thought I can go crash your wedding first..alas.....

hehe..paisay..paisay..

Cuclainne,

tats y have not been in the forum last few days..was bz with the interviews with the papers..

Dun wish to loud-hail the issue.. Which paper did u read?
 
Ally's in the papers? Hmmmm.....Did you say today's edition of Straits Times, Cuclainne? I shall dig it out. I only have time to catch up with my weeks papers on Sunday...
lol.gif


Must cut out article and frame it mah Ally.
 
Hi Ally, what is the article abt? Care to share? Unfortunately I only hv Sat TNP leh... so didnt get to read ur article.

Nur, BM is Bt Merah aka Redhill. Btw how was the dinner u attended at Crown? Ok not? I met up with the co-ordinator again last Sat to iron out a few issues. He was v unaccomodating leh.. everything we asked for is either met with a "No" or "I'll hv to check with the mgmt".. Duh! I was so pissed.
angry.gif

Hv u booked the ppl who will decorate ur reception venue? I saw advert by ShadKy in the latest edition of Perkahwinan (tks ladies,I finally manage to get hold of a copy with Rafi Ali on the cover).. v nice!

Elaine, I'm really looking fwd to seeing ur pics! Pls email me: [email protected]. Tks!!
 
Ally, thanks for your hospitality...Your food delicious. Must give me recipe for your nasi ok?

Huichin, thank your darling for us hor...for driving us to the MRT station...

Elaine, ahh...we must wait till out Chairwoman organise one meeting at Lil' Bali...

Sandra, oh dear...sorry to hear that they were so unaccomodating. Hmmmpppff......maybe can ask for a change of coordinator?

I agree that ShadKy has good decor/dais..but very expensive leh....Meraj and I are not sitting on the dais for long so no point for us to spend that much money on the pelamin....
lol.gif
We want to eat and mingle with our guests.
 
Marnie,

very simple food I cook today..Oh the nasi? Sure!..It's Nasi Jagung aka Corn rice..Will email u the recipe k? err..juz need ur email addy only..

thanx for the info juz now..we may need to engage ur help on the matter..I need to liaise wif u thru email tho'.
 
Ally, no problems, can ask me for advice but I don't recommend me personally cos' the firm is wanting me to stay away from Muslim probate/Wills matter. I've dealt with Donald Burkinshaw and Drew &amp; Napier (both dealt with Alsagoff Wills and settlements) so they are more versed in this. But if advice advice as friend friend, can lah of course!

My email is [email protected]
 

Good evening everyone..

Ally ..
Thank you for everthing, can email me the recipe as well please ?? I am really an idiot for malay food.. hehehe.. my email address will be [email protected]
