It's been 1 month of unpaid leave for me, goin london tom.. really worried about leavin the country due to my father. But no choice gotta start workin if not no $$.
yo queenie!
i just got back from karachi.i haven't been loggin on to msn recently.that's y
bearbit:hey dun worry too much k?coz worrying will not make things better but worse for yourself.
we are going to be your online buddies,your moral support k?
ya if dun fly no $...it's not easy but think this way,can worrying help your dad?Positivity will attract positives,rem this.vice versus negatism will attract negatives.So we are going to be from today POSITIVE for you.
I survived my london flight, and my passengers were all very nice.. thanks for your moral support.. really happy to log on to read such motivating messages.
I guess now that the worst has happened, I will be strong and make the best out of the situation and stay POSITIVE like what mei mei said. =)
Gonna re-schedule my ROM date soon once my dad is discharged. Have u gals checked your new roster, may you all have excellent flights!!
hey ppl,
i'm abit confused about the whole tea ceremony thing....after my hubby unveils me and fetch me to his place....where the tea ceremony is done...is there going to be a light meal there and at my parent's place,another meal again?that means i got to cater twice?is it?
not sure if u gers have seen the very interesting looking peranakan looking cake done up like a tiffin carrier done by intercontinental....
coz me thinking of wearing kebaya,get nyonya catering....(haven't done my research on catering yet)...plus the cake....
Of all the weddings that i've been there's usually catering at both the bride and bridegroom's side. Cos you need to feed the relatives at both ends =)
meimei,
the htl coordinator leaving already?They usually dont stick ard for long.I guess their job is really tough.
Ya i agree w bearbit,usually got makan both sides for relatives & helpers who also wake early for the tea ceremony.
Not done yvr?I presume u hv been flying for awhile now say more than 5yrs?If not,why dont u swap flt?It's quite a demanding flt though.
good news to share with u all, my dad is recovering well in the rehab centre and he is able to walk with minimal assistance. I have also fixed my ROM date on Feb 25 =)
My photo shoot wil be Feb 27 so gotta start scouting for shoes.. any recommendations where to get nice bridal shoes?? =)
Hey congrats bearbit!
Glad to hear ur dad is doing well.
Tt's a mth away!Where r u holding ur ROM?U got ur outfit already?Maybe u can opt for silver shoes if ur outfit is white then can perhaps wear for ur AD too.There's no particular shop but jz look ard & try ur luck.When u look,sure cant find but when not looking then can find.Murphy's law i think.Gd luck!
hi bearbit!very happy to hear bout your dad!and so exciting photoshoot on 27!
i did some research on shoes.i have narrowed down to paradox and prautes.if u flip thru mags....u will see these two names keep popping up.of coz erm like what queenie said,choices are endless..it's really all about what u like....i m not going for shoes...i like slip ons,strappy kinds....depends on what kind of dress u wearing too...like if short dress kind,u may consider wedge.....all these tips i got from bridal Mags...hehhe
by the way u case u looking for cake,i have narrowed down to my 4 choices...yesterday me and jerry went for cake tasting @ the patissier and canale....
xiao hui @ the patissier is the one who has been corresponding with me thru email and in person she is very polite and sweet...but we were very put off by her other colleague...
we wanted a 3 tier white cake with brownie chocolate inside...we were thinking of ribbon around the circumference of cake....that particular lady started snorting saying they may not be able to find gold ribbon for us....what the heck....
c;mon....that' not very professional...instead of listening to what customers really want..she is saying alot of things that are unnecessary... my Hubby very even natured.....he himself felt a little angry bout her condescending attitude towards us...
maybe she thinks we cannot afford the cake...haha
so funny...
anyway at canale,pang is nice but can see he is very bz.....
quoted us $1300....whoa......but may consider coz the quality and look is there...and he was able to give us good suggestions...and was acutally listening to our needs...
2 more places i will be looking at will be pine garden and cedele....
will update u gers.....
back to shoes again,bearbit,outstation esp states start looking out.....if u loooove a particular pair....my suggestion is buy it...else u can't find it....again....
hey queenie to add on to what u say about shoes or sandals for wedding.....it's not necessary to get white ones coz hard to match with other dresses other than the white dress for the big day,an alternative can be silver kind.....or off white....
it is impt in a way to get a nice pair though because your photographer on your actual day will take snaps of your dress hanging somewhere,your accessories and your shoes....
meimei,
if shoes not nice,tell PG dont take lor.Doesnt matter,small issue.
So where u plan to get ur place?
I'll be back fr sq11 on 1st day too so really lucky too!
My fren said Pine garden 3 tier any flavour $450.
ha that's y i said individual opinion and preference regarding shoes...really depends on the bride herself...
for me it's not the most impt thing but impt in a way when i 1 2 take some shots with me holding up gown up.....exposing my sandals for FUN......
ya man u're so right PG thread i read liao...seems like can get good tasting cakes there @ a reasonable price....coz don't really want to blow my budget on a cake.....it's more for a significant act of cutting it together with lao gong and feeding each other.....
of coz must look nice also for some pix taking for memory's sake....
happy for u queenie....back on 1st day on CNY!
how bout u gers?the thread silent for awhile...must be on flight...hehe
meimei,
caking of cake got to do something abt fertility if i'm not mistaken.
So u'll ROM at the church itself?All in one better or else u'll hv to plan to many things.
yo queenie...seems like the rest on flights except 2 of us...hehe
ya heard about cake and fertility but for me and jerry it's more of a covenant....because when making a covenant,it involves the act of eating and drinking...
yup...all in 1 night....
otherwise more planning for me....
i'm so excited to make my 1st appt 2 make kebaya....haven't make yet ....coz i think it's still early....
Good to hear that everyone's preparations are going well. My dad can finally be discharged on 3 feb. Thank god..
I booked my bridal studio long ago at Z weddings, i've also picked out my gowns for the photoshoot.. mei mei which bridal studio u using? wat about u queenie? how was your photoshoot, where did u take your outdoor shots?
I like to take pictures of nature like greenery and beaches, but i hope my fiancee wont perspire too much, especially with singapore's weather.. and he has to wear the thick suit..
You gals are lucky!! I will have CNY eve off, bkk turn on 1st day and 2nd day off. not too bad lah.. =)
bearbit,
my wedding was very simple,no bridal studio caz we din wear WG or suit,we dislike posey shots so no PS,jz took some bfe solemnzation at the venue itself,very casual type.Personally,i'd rather not follow the norm lor.
hey bearbit,i haven't decided..it's only between david lim lee and bridal veil....will be checking both out in a few wks..will update u...to compare package...
ya not too bad at least CNY eve off.....and 2nd day...
