Any Mixed Marriages here? Esp Chinese-Malay Muslim couple

Ally: oh...yea i'm sure every job has got its happy side and woes...heh..but as long as u've got interest. think should be alrite hor? hehe...

i have been on the heavier side all my life...but the kilos keep increasing like, every yr!?

It's like, i lose maybe abt 5kgs over 2mths, then remain like dat....then after that, gain again.

Sighs...wish i was back in poly days...abt 21yrs old..whoa..only 73-75kg...now ah...90kg! Can die loh...and yea, i've taking doc's pill since mid-April for a mth, then i stopped liao. So i dropped from 95-90kg loh. Zzzz...

Now after a mth after i stopped da pills still alrite...manage to stay at 90kg..but it's still toooo much!!! Ally, i must take advice from u, like how u did it!!!
 


Huichin,

Wat kind of pills u eat ah? Previously I was on panbesy but it gives alot of side effects so I stopped but now I'm on reductil - much better.Only dry mouth effect. Anyway, I was on a strict gym routine for the past 1 yr. Cos my hubby was complaining that I dun look good anymore..Sigh..So for the past half yr, I went to gym at least 3 times a week n yoga lessons.

Anyway, jia you..u can do it! I'll will support u one lah!
 
Huichin: Me! Save a seat for me - I'm on! Are we still on at Swenson's at Funan? There goes my diet!
lol.gif


Oh your wedding maybe September/October? Around fasting period eh?

Cuclainne: No joke lah....Me and Huichin the only contenders. Aiyoh....Ally will look like a Supermodel standing beside me, I'm sure...
biggrin.gif


Oh...and yeah...experiment. And tell us what you think of their service. Cos' like Interrace, I also got that treatment. To think I was actually going to entrust them to measure make my dresses....*sigh*

Any girls here have taken the marriage prep classes? Since Meraj lost his passports and stuff, we have not been able to get round to registering for classes. Haven't even paid the deposit at the Arqam. Hmmmppff.....Oooh..and any of you who knows which kadi/naib kadi who can converse and solemnise in English?

Elaine: Bring pictures of your dresses when you come meet us....I am soo excited! When's your wedding by the way?

Okay girls, I had a long day. Had a two hour meeting with my PS photographer and I don't think we've got anywhere with the concept of our shoot!
lol.gif
Meraj and I were just not agreeing on the style....Aiyoh....headache. Anyways, keep me updated on the meeting, yeah?

L8ters
 
huichin: cool. mine would most probably be next year as well, depending on how fast elias can get a job here.

marnie: i'll let you know how my experience with them is - also interested to know how their attitude is first hand.
happy.gif


how did meraj lose his passports and stuff? i thought all kadi/ naib kadi should be able to solemnise in english. when my sister had her solemnisation at ROMM, the man held the entire ceremony in english.

are you girls meeting up somewhere this week? can i come?
 
Weight Loss
Y'day, i read from another thread, this mummy talked abt "Lumiere" (spelling should be wrong). sometimes you see their ad on papers featuring Lina Ng. They mainly use massage technique. The lady claimed very effective, but she spent abt 5k leh... very expensive to me.
 
Hi Ally, yea i'm using Panbesy. Not much of side effects, though. But one thing for sure, i know that if i go back to my doc again he told me he'll be introducing me more 'ex' pills, and plus those replacement meal packs, which i really really dread the taste. So i decided to try to depend on myself...see if can or not.

Tks for the support though!

Marnie: ok lah! We now set tentatively next Thursday, 23 June at abt 7.30pm - going to Swensen's! Yea...should be abt this time...But i think fasting time starts Oct next yr rite? eh...

Cuclainne: I suppose elias is ur FH? heh...is he a foreigner?

Of course u can come! Next week when we confirm again remember to put up ur hand then we can meet together k!

Charsiew: yea...i know some slimming centres are quite effective, but super-ex!
 
Hi gals...

Topic now is about slimming ?? any recommendation ?? haha.. I also wanna slim down for my wedding day lei..hmmm.. I still think exercise will be the best way to slim down.. My weight used to be 65kg 5 years back and my height only 156 (very short) so at that time of point, I think I must do somthing about it, so I went to gym everyday without failed and I spend about 3 hours each time. It took me about half year to lost 10kg.. now lazy liow so flabby liow, and I love to eat.. how to slim !!! hahaha... next thurs going to swenson ?? hahaha..

Marine..
My wedding will be on 18th Sep this year.. your all wanna come ?? I am meeting the wedding decor this coming sunday, I hope I can just settle with him with what I needs... do you think Inai will allow me to take some pics from what I try ?? Marine... I took my marriage prep class liow.. it took me 4 hours to finish up but took me a bomb too la.. cost me $400 just becoz they translate in English..
sad.gif
my solemasation also in English, it was held at my hubby parent place extra cost is $100 for them to come.
 
Cuclainne: Of course you can come!!! Of course, when you come with us, cannot just eat salad hor.....
lol.gif
(Just kidding lah)

Sorry, I kaypo....Where is Elias from???

Meraj is also a foreigner - Aussie/British. Got his laptop bag stolen at a Dunkin Donut in KL. *sigh*

Elaine: Super duper!!! Your wedding prep are moving fast!! Good good! I think Inai should be alright. Just tell them you need pictures to show your mother and also the deco people cos' don't want to clash the clothes colour with the wedding dais colour.

Wah piang! $400?!?! Expensive seh..I think I just go take from Arqam. Should be under S$150.00 for 3 Sundays.

Huichin: Hari Raya is 24 October. So Ramadhan should start sometime around 23/24 September. Are you doing before or after Raya?
 
elaine: is that invite for all of us? kekekeke
happy.gif


marnie: don't worry, i'm not a salad eater like elias (he's vegetarian).
happy.gif


elias is swedish - i just came back from spending two months in stockholm. it's a beautiful place la ...
 
Hi ladies,

Yes!! TGIF!!!

Huichin,

Panbesy quite cheap ..but I find that it gave me alot of palpitations n I cant sleep at nite. Reductil on the other hand, not much of side effect except for dry mouth. But its $3 per pill lar.

Elaine,

I agree with exercise very impt. Eh..dun say u very short lar..I'm shorter than u leh..2 cm shorter..hehehe..no choice.Swensen's sure on lah..after that can bother abt the calories. Elaine, its that an invitation for all of us?

Cuclaine,

Our meet up , sure u can come. The more the merrier. As we were discussing, all of u have same agenda - brides-to-be mah..me juz a stale bride.. hahahah!!
 
Ally: don't say that la. you have first-hand experience eh
happy.gif


elias wants a wedding dinner, if his family and friends are flying over for the event. should we just get a wedding planner to sort this dinner out? he wants an outdoor dinner party, me - i'm sooo concerned about the weather (it might rain!!!).
 
Cuclainne: It's up to you whether you want a planner. But it's actually quite pleasant planning for your event. Um..I think it is cos' I am planning a dinner for our wedding. Plus a pre-lunch/girls night out and post brunch. I have the usual hair-raising moment when talking to vendors but all in all, I've had a good experience with all my vendors - I'm quite lucky..

Where are you looking to hold your dinner?

Ally: No no..not a stale bride. Your support and insights into an inter-cultural wedding is very much appreciated by all of us here, I am sure....

Eh...where's everyone else? *looking around*
 
elias mentioned that he would like to have the dinner at an outdoor location. but it's sooo expensive to erect a marquee, am i right? plus i will have to do the sourcing on my own cos he's back home so like a bit kancheong la. the place i would really really want is the River Terrace at Asian Civilisations Museum. otherwise we'd just like a beach dinner event - but where ah? he's not very comfortable in formal wear so we thought of a casual atmosphere la ... not sure how it will go down with the set of parents and guests though.
 
Marnie,

Aiya!.Paisay, paisay!! *Ally's face turning red*

Cuclainne,

Wah.so nice n romantic to have n outdoor dinner. Mayb u shd look at Rasa Sentosa? Mayb they have packages for an outdoor theme?
 
soooo expensive to have there. attended my ex-colleague's wedding there - it's nice la but i don't wish to spend so much, you see. as it is, i'm trying to get elias and my dad to not go overboard with the list. most of my dad's invites my mom has agreed to shift to the sunday malay-styled void deck wedding lor. i just want a small dinner party - maybe just for family and close friends, that kind of thing.
 
gals..

invite to my wedding is it ?? wait till my invataion cards ready shall sent to all of you ya... hahaha.. can ?? is it what your mean ?? me blur blur liow...
 
Haha..

elaine: i will ask the same qtn again - is that an open invitation for all of us to ur wedding?? heheehe

Marnie: tks for reminding! whoa then i gotta hold it b4 fasting mth starts leh! lol

kao_biggrin.gif
 
hey marnie, nice one! which area are you holding the dinner at? are you sure i won't be intruding if i come along?

yay elaine - want to see your photos.
 
Cuclainne,

No worries, it's our first meet up session also.

Elaine,

Ya, I also wan to c ur photos..Aiyo..so excited leh. Reminds me when I was bz preparing for my own wedding.
 
Cuclainne: Not at all - you will not intrude. If you tag along you don't have the pressure of following up and stuff. If you are interested, you can just get in touch with ACM. If not, treat the viewing as a tour....
biggrin.gif


I'm going to ask Jennifer if we can take pictures cos' I need to show the interior colours to the people making my bridal dresses. I will let you know. Most likely in July/August. It has to be after 6pm though. I'll let you know.

We've booked River Room and Jennifer has put the Terrace on hold for us.

Charsiew Rice: No worries. We will update you on who ate what and whether Huichin or me win the "cutest" body award....Right huichin??
lol.gif


Elaine: Yeay yeah!!! Bring bring photos...More photos the better!
bounce.gif


And oh....I shall wait for your "summon" to your wedding then....*thick-skinned Marnie*

Ally: I shall give you the honorary title of our mak andam lah. Can give constructive comments.

Eh...I notice Interrace and IC no where in sight today leh......Hmmmpppfff.....yoo hooooo.....
 
Marnie: That's so cool. I spoke with Elias about it yesterday and he was excited too. I attended a function there a few years ago and was impressed with the view. What made you choose that venue?

Look forward to meeting all of you at the dinner this thursday
happy.gif
 
Hi ladies,
heard someone calling me. Had been busy past few days.
Marnie
Am i invited to your wedding?
lame.gif
heheh..thick-skin.
Gathering
I can't promise you girls. Will inform last minute. Because i dont' know what will happen on that day. Understadable hor? Coz now got baby. If i'm going, i will inform Huichin. Not a problem, i got huichin's MSN.
 
Good afternoon girls!

Just finished cleaning and scrubbing the kitchen. Darn tired. Going to go out to look for wedding jewellery (since it's GSS). Wish me luck girls cos' this is my second attempt!
lol.gif


Cuclaine: When Meraj and I started to look around for a venue for the reception, we had a criteria to meet. Somewhere central near to hotels that our overseas guests will be staying in. And somewhere easily assessible by train or bus for our old uncles and aunties.

When we viewed ACM, we fell in love with the space instantly as it was both modern and old/traditional and Asian, traits which echo what Meraj and I are and stand for. (FYI, Meraj is born in Bangladesh to Bangaladeshi parents). The view is a perk, really. We didn't bother looking at another space apart from Burkill Hall but dropped the latter as it was logistically not happening.

Ally : Are you bringing your wedding pictures this time? Sorry about the last time....

IC : No need to be thick-skinned lah..I'd love for you girls to come...Just talking to you girls have actually made me talk about a lot of things between Meraj and I. Our different cultures and points of view. I mean, we're of the same religion to begin with but we have tonnes of differences in other ways so this forum has taught me alot to mitigate the differences.
happy.gif


Huichin : Can you SMS me? I think I mislaid your cell-phone no. leh..Need to keep on phone so I can call you to find you when we meet on Thursday.
 
Hi ya!

So tired..brought my two kids for shopping spree at bugis junction juz now.

Marnie,

will bring some lah, got chinese photography + malay photography. But nothing gr8 lah. Very common pics.

IC,

check with my fren's in the east side..so far they have not come across any infantcare owned by malay/muslim. So sori lah.

Hope to c u at the gathering on Thurs.
 
Marnie: I see. I was also recommended Burkhill Hall but then again, I didn't want to have to split the guests between the levels. I also thought of Altivo (but they never responded to my emails) and Indochine Waterfront (soooo expensive!! but again, the view is fantastic).

Have a good weekend, everyone!
happy.gif
 
Good afternoon girls!

I just finished cooking chicken curry. For my darling Meraj for dinner.
happy.gif

He's in some school right now, playing and coaching soccer for under-priviliged kids. I'll go a bit later.

IC: Hey no problem me "saman-ing" the rest of the girls here. But maybe later they siam me...
lol.gif


Cuclainne: Yeah..Meraj wasn't for the split levels too. It's a nice place though I think they really need to clean the place a bit (the floor board is too dirty!).

Have you looked at the spaces at Fort Canning? There are spaces there that can accomodate for under 100 if that's the no. you are looking at for dinner. They also have a space to fit a sit down for 250 - 300 pax. Prices are quite okay but you have to pay extra for like music/PA system unlike the ACM.

When is your wedding again, by the way? I vaguely recall it's next year. (Memory failing - getting old lah...
lol.gif
)

Ally : Wah....shopping! I always love shopping. But the last few months have restricted myself to wedding shopping only. Are your kids ok with all the crowd, especially over the weekend?
 
Marnie,

GSS can make me "bankrupt" liao. Same like u..i also like shopping. My elder boy shares the same instinct as me. (We lurrrve shopping!) but little one had prob - cos she's always throwing tantrum now n then be it outside or at home. Anyway, yesterday, it took her abt 45 mins to calm down at bugis junction. Aiyo..so malu..everybody looking at me. But bo bian..have to soothe her first. Used to it liao, being a mother is really not ez.

About saman-ing me..sure no prob.
 
Marnie: I've been looking at the places in Fort Canning online (not gone down in person yet). Seems pretty ok but then again, I will have to run these ideas with Elias first to see if he agrees with them.

My wedding ah - hmmm ... Elias mentioned that he's going to marry me when he's 32 and he turns 32 today. But then again, he's going to be 32 for a whole year so it's got to be sometime between that la.
happy.gif
 
Hi IC, no worries. Eh? u got my icq ah? Are u Destiny??? muahaha...

Marnie: have msg u liao. Lemme know if u've received it k. And, i will wait for ur 'summon' too! haha...Izzit next yr APril? if i'm remembered correctly...heh..

Ally / Cuclainne: Agree wif u girls! haha..

kao_dizzy.gif
 
Cuclainne
I had my wedding dinner in Fort Canning. It's inside this hall, comfortable for around 25 tables. PM me if you wanna know more details.
