lol.gif

Thanks for the deco. mags dearie. --> yes please. I'd love for a couple of the mags. I'll bring some more of my wedding ones for you too.

Girls, I can't make it on 10th cos' it's my 31st. Quite excited yet hmm....feel I'm crossing the threshold of "ancient civilisation"..
rofl.gif


Cuclainne sanding the weekend of 24th, I think Chin.
 
Muahaha..

haha...yea, will bring a couple of the ID mags k. I say thks in advance for bringing me more of urs too! hehe..

Marnie wat do u mean by ...'cos it's ur 31st'? me abit
kao_confused.gif
....catch no ball..haha..

And Oh...Cuclainne sanding on the 24th ah? k...then other dates? hehe..just that i feel 31st Mar like abit far away...so if can meet up earlier, better..heh..so the only date u can make it now is...? How abt the rest of the girls?

So..Marnie... just kpo..hehe..ur dinner is on the 15th April rite? Then when will ur ROMM be? And will Is***a be catering to ur tea reception or the dinner @ ACM? heh...
 
Chin, 10th March is my 31st birthday lah...getting ancient...
rofl.gif
Understand lah...getting late already so that's why you a bit blur blur...kekeke

My solemnisation will be on the same day at 5pm at the museum itself. All one shot. One go. No need to think any more than I should...And yes, we met with Istana just the past Wednesday and they'll be our caterers and decorators for the dinner. They are even offering to put on standby 2 tables and 16 chairs just in case more turns up (I think that's the norm for the asian society who's non-RSVP inclined). Bleh.

Um, how's about 3rd? Cos' most likely my other appointment will be on 17th.
 
Marnie OOooooooooooh ic! haha...sorry me abit slow here..haha

Nice! I totally agree wif u. All do one shot - save time + save trouble! hehe...
biggrin.gif
Whoa...they're quite automatic then! hehe...must have met such cases too often liao..heh

btw, how much do u have to pay (just for the decor)? ie. issit the dias and the rest of the deco?

3Mar06 sounds ok to me! WHat abt the rest? think most of them are asleep by now. Me nite owl mah..Haha..I hijacked my bro's com since 11plus (my pc's dead for 3mths liao!) so must make full use of it! haha..
 
Sandra
Yeah i agree about the old folks part.....poor thing hor if I make them climb up the hill just for me.

Marnie
Waterboat House is sssssssssssooooooooooooo nice lah!!! My friend had her wedding party there. I loved the view!

Huichin
Thank you babe for posting up the pics! I like the group photo very much. Yeah lah...that bf of mine is so shy. Like bunga....

Wah all the makan venues suggested by Chin is so tempting. 3 March? I can't make it on that date cos it's Feroz's birthday. Sorry gals.
 
Hui Chin

Thanks for the photos ... must show Ah Boy! Hahahah!

Ladies

I'm planning my wedding dinner on that night (24th March) but any other night is ok with me ..
 
Raf, yeah yeah...very romantic right? But really very expensive. But nevermind lah....we still got to enjoy the ambience at another person's expense...
rofl.gif
--> that made me sound rather unscrupulous...
uhoh.gif


So what are you other options re. the lunch and dinner? Are you intending to have both on the same day at the same place?

Eh eh...Feroz is a Pisces..just like me....we're sensitive creatures of the sea you know..
proud.gif


Chin, Meraj just told me that we're going to queue up and see the World Cup itself at Suntec on 3rd. I was too shocked - why would I want to queue for hours to see one trophy cup on display and take pictures with it?
rofl.gif
So 3rd is not a possibility.

Unless you Girls are up for a Saturday outing?
 
Huichin
Those are lovely pics, thanks for putting them up! Hmm... now I can 'visualise' whom I'm chatting with!

Cuclainne
The guy whom I spoke to is Ridz fm Picturebookwedding. You engage him as well? I like his work
happy.gif


Yo Raf & Marnie
Hey whadda you know... I'm a Piscean too! We are not only sensitive but romantic and dreamy people too (that's why I used to daydream in class... haha!).

Raf, have you considered holding your reception in the yatch club? I've got the details at home (if I'm not mistaken, they do offer Muslim food at a reasonable price), can find out more for you if you are interested.
 
Raf: haha..happy birthday to Feroz in advance! haha..how many yrs of life liao? hehe


Marnie: Haha..i'm sure u'll enjoy the World cup! haha..got to spend time wif ur darlin mah..haha

Cuclainne: yea must show him the photos! haha..soooo...are we being 'summoned' ? ehhe...me very thick skin rite
rofl.gif

biggrin.gif
And where?

1) The Rice Table
2) Sakae Sushi
3) Straits Kitchen @ Grand Hyatt
4) Siam Kitchen

I realised that whenever i've got time to check this thread u girls are soooo quiet! i'm sure u're all busy and doing stuff. haha..everytime leh!
kao_laugh.gif
 
Huichin,

Was bz at work + kena extract my molar tooth today leh..sob! did a root canal treatment the previous time but still giving me prob..in the end it's extraction..wuaaahhhh!!!

Hi, Aileen,

Welkum..welkum!!
 
Sandra & Marnie
Wah...so many Pisceans in here. Yeah...Feroz is very sensitive...hehe...too sensitive lah sometimes. But he's not so romantic leh? I've been cheated! hehehe...

Sandra
I sent u a pm......hope to hear a reply from u soon.

Huichin
Feroz says thank you very much for the advance bday wish. He's turning 27 this Friday...old already hor? Sigh...I'm having quite a headache now....dunno what to get for him....cos this man is super fussy!!!
And 17th March is good for me. Any place with yummy dessert...not fussy.
 
Aileen
Harlow... *waves*
Nice to 'meet' u too..
kao_welcome2.gif


Cuclainne
Oh we've engaged the same photographer! Nice guy ah, he... he can reaaallly talk man! FH & I met up with him and we chatted for about 4hrs! Aiyoh sekali he repeat his stories again and again to every couple.. might as well record and play! Hahaha...

Chin ah,
I can't make it on the 17th Mar. In fact for the whole of this month my schedule's tight. Hope to meet u girls soon, though...

Raf
I've replied you. Hey, 27 is not old okieee...! Or at least, I don't feel old... muahahahhha...

Your Feroz not romantic ah..? Hmmm.. maybe he wants to show that he's very 'man' lah... but inside the heart sure very soft. If you don't believe, can ask Marnie. Don't get me started on how difficult it is to get prezzies for these men!
kao_frustrated.gif
Most of the time, we can only get practical stuff for them. Then, when you thought of something to buy, they will tell you that they already have the stuff, so cannot get. Then how?

Marnie & Nur
Where are you girls..? Been busy??
 
Hello hello Girls! Sorry have been feeling a bit blah the last few days - the realisation of too many things going on at once just hit home so I needed to spend time to take stock of what's happening and just find me for a bit...

Raf, Feroz is very romantic being the same star sign.. heheh....they like to pretend they are not..but they are....but them being men, would probably just side track them to being a bit more macho.....

Chin, I can't make it on 17th!
sad.gif
 
I just came back from viewing flats - whoever said flat hunting is fun....Bleh...Tiring...but in my head was doing what Nur suggested - mentally calculating how much to spend on reno. Hmmm......

Welcome welcome Aileen! So don't be shy...spill the beans about you and yours....We're all very kpoh here.......
lol.gif


Raf, you drop hints on him lah......walk past florist and just point out to him flowers that you like. I did that (yeah, I'm a sneaky fella) and caught the bait (though him being a stoic Aquarius really too pragmatic most times)!

Chin, you have any write up on house renos? I just want to have something tangible and reasonable to show to Meraj so that we both have a rough idea how much what costs and we can streamline and mesh our finances, if need be. Thanks babe!

Sandra, yeah lah...my work is piling and I have a few cases that requires me to go to court so have been busy with that. (that and making sure i have enough blacks and whites to last me 2 weeks!)
rofl.gif


Also finalising my invites, finishing up my programs so that I can print the stuff. All the small details. All that amidst the added stress of flat hunting. Aiyoh...headache man...

Cuclainne, so how's everything coming along with your dinner event?

Ally - ooucch! That sounds horrible and painful - thank goodness I haven't had to do them - so far my wisdom teeth are great - touch wood! But going to my dentist end of the month for last check up before marriage and single...
proud.gif
 
Aileen

kao_welcome.gif


Sandra

Yes he is a nice guy yah. I did my solemnisation at home and he came to my apartment about a week before, to see the place and take a few test shots.

Marnie

We've decided to just have it at a restaurant ... now it's just a question of which!!!! Hahahahah! I trust it'll all be sorted out by this week because his Dad & family will be arriving next week. Yikes!
 
Cuclainne, good for you! Restaurants have much better ambience for a small do, I feel. And can keep costs down (much better than hotels).

Hmm....you mentioned a party after dinner once before right? Are you still going for that. Then if so, there's a plethora of restaurants and bars/drinking joints along Boat Quay and Clarke Quay (personally I prefer Clarke Quay --> more adult and less kids though the Ministry of Sound at Clarke Quay is attracting the teeny boppers too!)
biggrin.gif


I've not been to a lot of restaurants there but Zuma stuck in my head - very classy. Restaurant inside and a bar outside. Very good location (right smack in the middle of Clarke Quay) and the main courses are under S$25. Their steaks are expensive. The service is spot on! Between Meraj and I, we had appetiser, soup and 2 maincourses, it's S$50.00.
 
Marnie

Thanks for the suggestion .. my sister is going to scout some locations at Chijmes for me this weekend and I think Elias will be doing the same for the area near his work place (many restaurants in Far East Square). I also need to remind him that since we won't be taking any leave that day, he should try to leave work early .. after all, not nice if the groom is terribly late. Hahahaha!
 
Aileen: Haloo! finally see u post something here! maybe u can meet us up at our next meeting! lol..

haha.. girls, i've spoke to aileen on msn..haha..she's fun & bubbly girl wor! lol..

Ally: Oh no..u poor thing! must be damn painful...eeeikk...must take care/...take soft food loh..be gentle to ur gums!

Sandra: oh no...nehmind...will sure meet u soon one of these days!

Marnie: Yea, i think those reno mags have this type of article...will bring for u soon k!
 
Chin, how? Can change the meeting to another day or not? 24th? Fridays good lah so can sleep in the next day and can stay up and havoc when we meet on Friday...
biggrin.gif


Girls, I'm bursting with excitement - I finally finished editing my "program booklets" for the dinner reception! *phew*
bounce.gif
--> I'm finally getting to print them a few sets a night. All 250 sets.

Cuclainne, oooh..yes.. Far East is a super place. I love this particular fish and chips pub thingee...delicious! Can't remember the name of the pub for the life of me..
lol.gif
 
Marnie

I have emailed a few eating places at Clarke Quay to ask for prices - we should be settled by the end of this week. Keeping my fingers crossed! Hahahaha.

Girls .. I can't make it on the 24th. I will be having my wedding dinner that night.
 
Hi girls,
This whole week was nerve-wracking. Had to book CC, work kept me busy and yesterday, I had wisdom tooth surgery. My wisdom tooth was not growing vertically, not upright.. instead it was growing horizontally in the gum and pushing next tooth. Can visualise or not? Hahah.. i couldnt make head or tail until I saw e X-ray last week. Anyway, i hav 5 days MC. A couple of stitches, now got throbbing headache and right side of face is swelling and like kena botox cos super stiff. Hmm.. eating porridge. Am i scaring u yet? And this pain costs 900 bucks - Medisave paid 700. Really there's no telling how the 4 wisdom teeth will grow. Thank god, the other 3 are ok. Ally, I wanted to prevent root canal- that's why was advised to just remove it now.

For better news, I hav booked my CC. Yay!! I'm really nt sure if I can join u girls, seems like no confirmed date yet rite? This month, I have to attend marriage prep course and got many ppl at work want to belanja makan cos of good A-level results so things might clash. We'll see.

Sandra, Ya, reno loan charges v v high interest rate. In 2002, NTUC thrift had flat rate of 4.5% for 4-year loan but it's gone up now, i think.
 
Nur
Whoa..sounds painful..can imagine your suffering..

Mine was not wisdom tooth but a molar tooth. I have a tendency to grind my teeth when I sleep+ the tooth was really quite bad.. no choice but to extract the affected tooth . Now am waiting for my gums to heal before I proceed to do a bridging. Damn..a single tooth bridging and crowning is damn expensive in Sg!!
 
Raf: u r welcome! haha..Feroz is the same age as Fi! haha...he's oso turning 27 this yr! ahaha..

Marnie: oh ya..but hor i think most of u girls cant make it on certain fridays rite..was thinking of thursdays actually..haha

how ah? any thursdays available?
 
Nur: Congrats! ahhaha..for the CC chosen + booked and students wif good results! lol..as for ur gums...must take care..ya eat soft food like porridge is good...once we've confirm date then see if u can make it la ok! hehe..

Ok Girls: how abt 9Mar / 16Mar? Both are thursdays..
lol.gif
 
Hello hello Girls! I'm back from the World Cup "tour" at Suntec. Took a polaroid picture with the solid gold trophy. I surprised myself - I felt the rush watching the 3d presentation by FIFA.

Then my dear Meraj got interviewed by Starhub so I think you girls can spy him in ads sections on ESPN Sports or some sport channel on cable. The media people were actually laughing when he mentioned about him changing wedding dates cos' World Cup was on!
rofl.gif


Chin, I'm not available on 9th - it's pampering session for me. Going for mani/pedi...must feel good for my 31st the next day mah.......
biggrin.gif


((((Nur))))) Aww...you poor thing! Must take care okie. Take lots of fluids and just be a good girl and have porridge. We'll wait for you to get better than we can all whack the good food..
wink.gif


Oh good think you reminded me about booking the CC. Does any of you Girls know how far in advance I can book a void deck? I still need to book the void deck for my caterers to cook.

Cuclainne, yeay for you! Nervous thinking bout your dinner in 3 weeks...and amazed that you're still taking it a cool - I'll be running around like a headless chicken if it were me!

Marnie,
I've received your wedding card. Will RSVP to you. Most likely i will come. Can have excuse for my own night out! Heheheh...
352433.gif

Marnie, is your wedding a sit-down dinner or a buffet? Err..chinese, malay or international food?
 
Hello hello Girls, sorry ah....me got a tad bit busy.....

IC, mine's a sit down buffet. Can't afford sit down course lah.....the wait service staff would probably cost me an arm and a leg..
biggrin.gif
The food - Meraj and I were fussy about. It's a mix of Indian, Malay and western foods - rojak like us, eh?

Yiippeee - glad you can come. Let me know when you're firmed up with your schedule for the day okie? Bring the hubs if you want to. I wouldn't dare suggest the kid cos' then he'll be up till late (we're gauging it'll end around 10ish).

Ally, hehehehehe. Okie dokie. I'll note it down. Eh.....we may have assigned seating --> not decided yet. Can you PM me your hubby's name?
 
marnie,
eh... sorry..i think i've really lost touch with this thread already. So which bs, photographer, videographer and caterer have you confirmed already?
 
IC, Don't worry...we know you very busy with your family. Here's the lowdown on my wedding:-

BS: Rouz Couture
AD: Eulee (same as Jewel!)
VG: Benny from ShikuPictures
Caterer & Decor : Istana

Ally, got your PM dearie...thanks!

K Girls, I'll post later this evening about my flat viewings. Itching to spill the beans. Now out for for lunch. Roger and out!
biggrin.gif
 
Hello Girls!

Meraj and I viewed about 12 units on Saturday. A whole range of flats just so that the agents (I haven't decided which of the 2 we're gelling with and sticking to as yet) can get a feel of what we like so that they can help us further in the future. I like 2. When I say that, I mean, my heart fell in love with 2 units and they can't be as different as day and night.

Both are on high floors. But one is jsut about move-in condition (just need to add kitchen cabinets - the previous owner only had 3 cupboards in the kitchen --> weird right?) and change the laminate flooring of the bedrooms. The other one will require me to renovate entirely (except the floor, if I didn't want to). This one though has a pillar (about 1 metre) from entrance which provides privacy but at the same time, hinder the furniture possibly when we move in...how like that? The second unit is kinder to my CPF account. sigh.....

So, we're going to see a few more units, perhaps later in the month cos' now quite busy tying up loose ends with wedding and all.

Sidetrack Girls: Found out just now that Meraj's brother's latest film Kidulthood took in gross profit second only to Syriana (in UK) - Yippee!
bounce.gif
I read the script before shooting and it is really rough and vulgar but it is essential to the story. So is the "in your face" violence and scenes in there.

Oh IC, don't forget that you wanted to try every tier of my wedding cake right? Must act fast ah...don't say I never give you tips ah...
lol.gif
 
Halo IC! Long time no see
happy.gif


Marnie: So happy that u found a couple of flats dat u like. Heh..seems that u will continue to search for more options? heh...

Whoa...Is Meraj's bro the scriptwriter for this movie?

I wanna try the cake too! haha..what's the flavour once again? U're gonna give out the cake to guests izzit?
kao_laugh.gif
 


Marnie

The movie seems very streetwise and totally gritty .. at the same time, it's a bit unnerving eh .. when I was in London last year, I read an article in the newspaper on the plane over .. this school teacher lost her job because she had attempted to scare this yob who was stalking her by shooting him. She missed but landed in trouble for that. They interviewed the yob and he said that he didn't care and she could rot in jail.. I think it's completely mad!

By the way, seems like you're on your way to finding your home eh .. hope you'll find something you two will like soon.
