Initially I told her that I'm printing 100-120 but when I met last met her 2 weeks ago, i mentioned that i might print less than a hundred. You can call and check out too.

hi gals
thanks so much for yr info.so every morning, there will be a mad rush in the gals toilets i guess?
so will each person be given a key each to the room or only one key to one room? Initally thot if bathroom is attached in the bedroom, would be great, more convenient if need to go toilet at nite.
btw can anyone tell me wat time to check in? my hubby forgot the timing(after one guy called him to brief him on it).
Many thanks.

hi dawn,
no it will not be a mad rush cos different ladies will wake up at different timings to shower. dun worry about it. you may however wanna bring a plastic bag to hold your clothes while you are in the shower.
check in time shd be by 7+ or so... have your dinner before you go. supper will be provided. you shd also receive a letter from the EE group on the details.

Hi Dawn,
It's not that bad. There are 2 bathrooms, one at each end of the corridor (actually one is a men's, the other a ladies', but since it will be a women's only floor, both become ladies').
There's only one key to each room. I think if you're lucky you will be 2 to a room (I had 3 in mine). But anyway, when you're downstairs, you just hang the key on a board so if the key is not there, it means someone is already up in the room). No problem.
As to precise instructions, I believe you should be getting an email on it?

hi lissa,
nah.. dun worry abt it.. in the previous thread was corrupted, i raised the same concern and other catholic brides assured me. so now its my turn to assure you
yes the rooms have aircon. anyway, you will be using the room to sleep nia. the rest of the time you will be in the hall or outside. anyway, bring along a sweater if you are scared of cold. it could be useful.

Hi Dawn,
Actually, there was an electrical socket in my room at the ME House. Just that it's blocked by the bed and difficult to reach. There are sufficient shower cubicles. And everybody cooperates to keep the toilets clean. There is a link from the 2nd level of the ME houses to the seminary, but that gate is locked.
I mentioned in the old thread that I wish I had brought a digital camera to take some photos of my fiance and me. Think we reached a milestone in our relationship at the EE weekend.
Actually I found it quite fun to share a room with 3 other girls. Before sleeping, we would talk about our fiances and wedding stuff
Have fun!
Minssy,
Could you please send me your list of bakeries too?

Hi Viv,
Yes, I ordered from Savoury Fare already. Left the design largely to them. I think you can dictate the design to them. As I said earlier, I am rather impressed with their quality. Actually, you can just order some cakes over the phone and they will deliver with just $5 charge.
Actually, my wedding lunch is going to be held in Chijmes. I think besides Rasa Sentosa, no other hotel venues will provide the transport.
Hi Minssy,
Thanks for sharing with us your list. It is indeed very comprehensive. Are you ordering a real wedding cake too?

Hi Viv,
yes u can offer flowers to Mother Mary, mum I'm not sure but I don't see a problem. I'm going to offer flowers to Mother Mary during my engagement mass. Some of my friends did that too in their wedding mass.

hi viv,
i will share when mine is officially approved by my priest
will update again yah.. hee..
giving flowers part is an optional tradition, depending on church and that means that will depend on your priest. if its present, its normally after the 'liturgy of the eucharist' part and before the final blessing.

hi dawn,
1) not really lah. still have the church rehearsal thingy to settle...that one must coordinate with alot of pple man.
2) yes i will be ordering buffet cos mine is a 11am service and will be just nice for a decent lunch.
3) i used susan from font floral. she is familar with holy trinity so naturally i trust her with the deco. the chapel is small and i told her my budget is $400 and she will do it for me accordingly. outside package comes with 20 pews, 2 floral stands, 1 altar floral, 1 reception table floral and she can do the same too.. depending on your church, some bigger ones has very strict rules.
4) my organist will be philip lye as i had earlier posted. he is only charging at $100 and trust me, he is worth muchhhhh more than that.

Hi minssy & dawn
yup, married for almost 8 years already
I got married at Holy Trinity chapel too! Then, there were a lot of fake flowers at the altar, so only needed pew decor. My mil & sis did the decor for me - so it was foc!
I've read a lot of good reviews about Philip - will definitely get my bil to engage his services for his wedding!

Dawn,
Just go and enjoy EE!
If one already knows quite a bit of the program beforehand, it's a little harder to keep an open mind and one won't reap the full benefits of the experience. And EE is a very beautiful experience. ME House is a very clean and sanitary hostel-like environment, and all the food and drinks are taken care of. Don't worry about anything okay
Anyway, here's a useful link for you.

Oh ya dawn and others going for future EEs, please bring some po chai pills (for diarrhoea).
On the second night til the third day, I had diarrhoea.
It was very bad. I woke up to go toilet at 3.30am, then at 4.30am. Then I went to sleep. But woke up to go toilet for the third time at 6am. After that, tad boleh tahan, I scrambled from the third floor to the canteen on the first floor because during meals, I noticed there was a first aid box. Everywhere was so dark. Luckily there were some night lights. In the canteen, it was also dark. I had to use the light from my hp to look for medicine. There were no po chai pills!
I panicked. After much fumbling I managed to find some Western medicine for diarrhoea. But there were only 2 left. I took both. No choice, got to take once every six hours.
After that, luckily I didn't have to run to the toilet oredi.
Initially, I thought it was just me, that I had eaten too much or that my stomach couldn't take the too spicy food. When I told FH what happened, he told me he also woke up at 3+am with a terrible stomachache and went toilet once. Then later when we were hanging around outside the classroom for private spouse-to-spouse discussions, I saw some people holding po chai pills. I went to talk to them and realised many people also kena diarrhoea. The po chai pills were brought by one of the attendees. My room mate who was aware of my visits to the toilet a few times in the middle of the night told me that during breakfast, many people in her table also had diarrhoea during the night.
But zhun zhun (Hokkien for accurately), at 6pm (I took the medicine at 6am and 12pm), the stomach churning resumed. The EE ended officially, many people lingered to say Goodbye or chat, but I tad boleh tahan, ran to the car
and went back home. Luckily, sis-in-law and her hubby came to pick me and FH up.
Other than that minor toilet-running episode, the EE went very well. Enjoy yourselves!

Hi Lipstar,

Hello Elizabeth!
No, only one out of all the meals was spicy. The meals are very varied and of different cultures. We had chinese food (chicken rice), Italian food (spaghetti), Indian food, Singapore food (Khong Guan biscuits! hahaha!
and so on.
I wanted to feedback to the EE coordinator, but my fh said "Don't need. There will surely be other people who had informed them." Come to think of it, isn't that the typical apathetic, bo chap Singaporean attitude?
But we did approach one of the EE coordinators to ask for Po Chai pills. He was very nice. He kept on asking about my stomach every time he saw me later on.
