Ex-schoolgirls meeting place

just a thought.......

always wonder how come nobody use cemetery as photoshoot venue?
crazy.gif
i think it's the only venue where no one has used before. ever asked my hubby whether we can have ours there so that our photos will be unique. he said i "xiao!".
 


Hi seiko,

hee hee,,, one of my fren's mom is a pri school principal. maybe she's used to scolding her students that she even scolded my FH when he visited their place (even though he din do anything).... must be very stressed for her...

According to the designer, it is a new gown. As I had reserved it, they took it off the OTR shelf & brought it into the other room which they keep the gowns belonging to the other brides. But I'm waiting for their new collection next year b4 I decide on which gown I want. So, only go back to them after CNY

Hi Wenn,

I m in HR field. Kind of hectic at times too. Do u know a girl by the name of MeiYi fm your batch?

Seiko,

Dawn is fine. May meet up w her next wk, together w Susan. I only know that she is going steady w R****** for many yrs. Not sure abt L guy. I guess she may also get married next yr, no confirm plans yet. Do u know of any friends who got married liao except Jasmine?

Mandarin wasn't my Ist choice due to budget. Initially wanted Carlton, heard the food was really good (fortunately didn't choose it after what happened recently) but due to the ballroom space constraint, decided to go for Mandarin. Actually Crown Prince was also my other choice. How abt u?
 
Hi Carol.

My dad din ask for much pin jing. He asked for 1K. Then our feng-shui shi-fu fren said to ask for 1288 is better. He advised us to return 168 to the guy side.

On wedding day, FH will be giving us a roast pig. Then I'm supposed to give back the pig's head & tail with a pair of pants wrapped in red paper & angbao of 168 for FH. For him to yi-lu-fa. To my FH, it is just formalities not dat troublesome. Me, I find it quite fun though.....
biggrin.gif


As for the hairstylist, maybe u can get Mahogany to do a trial for u 1st b4 u make a final decision. Or is ur current hair/makeup artist agreeable to doing another trial for u but i think u may have to pay lah.... Maybe she styled ur hair to go w ur gown??
 
Hi jojok,

i remember got a gal called meiyi but i can't remember her face liao.... which class is she from? i'm from 4/1. haven't mixed around w my classmates after graduation. i'm the type that tends to not catch up w old frens.....
 
hi el,
that sounds scary leh.... although ppl say marriage is the tomb for love but not nice to take pic there la. sakeli u capture some other "things" on film.
lame.gif


hey, how abt going back to school, places where u first met him etc... quite meaningful also.
happy.gif
 
hi Blossom,

yah, that has come across my mind too. i met him in school so i asked him his opinion on having our photoshoot in our school. he said there's nothing nice about our school so no point in going back. anyway, our school has been closed down and merged with another school.
 
hi EL & Blossom

Yeah, I'd expect it'd be quite creepy if the photos captured an unwanted participant :P Actually some cemeteries are quite serene n peaceful places..but ehh..dun think I wld be game too :P
 
hahaha.... actually i'm just suggesting "unique" places lor. won't really have it there. don't want to "disturb" the occupants there.
 
hi Blossom,

a bit scared scared leh. but i'll go and ask my mum if i really go there to take photos, what will she do? once i ask her if i take chrysenthemum during my wedding can or not. she gave me a "are you having a fever?" look.

my hubby is worse, he said take carnation also cannot cos i'm not his mum, so he will never give me carnations even though that's my favourite flower.
 
hi el,
u are really funny.
11558.gif


i think ur hubby very principled. but hor, never seen ppl using carnation for bridal bouquet leh...
 
hi bluechin,
well teachers at ccps really are on the extreme of a scale. some really nice, some are your worst nightmares.. hee hee. i remember camping there when i was in pri 5.. quite quiet...

for sac, i often have camps there too. one night, me and my friends saw a white thing floating.... ai ya, actually was one nun walking down.... so scary... some more before we saw, we were sharing ghost stories. hee hee...

as for ffil, it's ok. like u, i have a wonderful and caring fh...

wow, 6 more days ya...
remember it's your big day and try to relax wen and if u can ya....
 
hi hi!

hahaha ... EL, think if i were to suggest cemetary, my parents or in-laws will all say me "siao!" .... but seriously, i would feel a bit eerie if go there to take wedding fotos!

btw, i noe of a colleague who have their dog in wedding foto and in the end both sets of parents very unhappy because they think it's bad luck to have a third person/animal?!!

thks thks! i oso keeping my fingers crossed very hard it doesn't rain on the day we take fotos! otherwise hard to take leave again!

alhana, yah, he wants to go somewhere unique....sigh! mebbe the photographer can suggest?! i wish there's waterfall in s'pore. woudl like to hve it in backgrd!

blossom, i agree with u. if got money oso would like to go elsewhere for foto-taking coz a lot of places r overused....too bad we not w/o budget kind! btw, yezz, me working in shenton way
happy.gif


hmmm....if i dun hve to worry abt money, i would like to hve it in a old castle too! wear beautiful gowns, all frens & family will be flown there to join in celebrations! hee hee......grow up reading too many fairy tales with the happily ever after endings - they always got princess marry prince in castles - find the idea romantic!!!!
 
Hi pixie,

There is a waterfall in the Jurong Birdpark! Hehhehehe. Erm, but must beware of bird droppings!!!

Yah, I think getting married in a castle is like having a fairytale wedding
happy.gif
Get married in the grand chapel, and have the banquet in the great hall with merrymaking all nite long in the castle gardens...so nice...
 
Morning cherubies,
yah yah.... i agree with ya about the worst nightmares part.
lol.gif


me too!!! with my frens saw a white figure only to realised it was a nun.
biggrin.gif
There were always rumors about the 3rd floor toilet being haunted. To think the Girl Guides store room was just beside it.
lame.gif


Glad we all have nice hubbies.... thank GoD for our nice hubbies.

Really trying to relax..... fixed an appt to go to the spa in the afternoon after my dental appt!
happy.gif
i still can't sleep well these few nites..... muz really force myself to sleep.....

How have u been? Finally it's Friday.....
 
hi alhana,
for my own family, we never celebrate. occasionally, one relative may organise a party but nowadays very seldom.
lame.gif


i usually spend my christmas with my hubby's family.... just a dinner at a restuarant. it has been like this for the past 6-7 years liao. i guess this year should be the same.
happy.gif
 
hi gals,
just to check whether u prepare any christmas present for ur hubby? i used to exchange gifts with him but he is not very keen abt that and subsequently we stopped doing that. this coming christmas is the first one since our marriage, im thinking of getting him a present but dunno what i should get.....
 
hi girls,

Finally it's friday!
happy.gif


Me most probably going to my aunt's place on christmas eve. Have been doing that for years.

we used to exchange gifts but ever since ROM, no more Christmas gifts cos have to save money for wedding.
sad.gif
pathetic rite?
 
hi blossom n el,

My hubby loves giving gifts, so i'll usually get something at x'mas, even tho i tell him to save his $ instead. sweet huh. anyway its the thought tt counts, not the value of the gift..so if ure in the spirit of giving, just buy something to surprise ure men lor.

Blossom, has ure hubby been eyeing anything lately? Or is there anything he needs? V hard to suggest coz I wldn't know what he likes! For my hubby, he'll probably enjoy a good book, a cd of his fav band or a good computer game
happy.gif
 
Hi bluechin,
me on mc... now at home...down with flu..

hee hee... well more stories of such and i got real life account too... tell u more after your wedding...

gal, u must be very excited... don't worry ya.. sleep will come soon wen you least realise it ya... take care...
 
hi el,
u not pathetic lah... my man ahhh... he will remember the impt dates but he is not that type who will surprise me with gifts. if we happen to find something i like, he will pay for it and say it's a present for some occasion.
lame.gif


the truth is he cannot keep secrets. there was once he wanted to surprise me. but he cannot stop himself from telling me that he has planned something. so i kept pestering him to tell me and as usual, he just leaked out the secret.
lol.gif


i guess ur guy will start showering u with gifts after the wedding. i dun even know whether im getting a christmas present from him....
 
hi alhana,
hey u strike me! my hubby loves books, cd and computer games. i think he is looking for some dvd... maybe i can look for it secretly. thanks so much!!!
kiss.gif
kiss.gif
kiss.gif
 
hi Blossom,

Hehe..guess alot of guys share similar interests! Most guys will love gadgets, toys, comics, books, games...

I know what my hubby wldn't want to have as a present..Clothes!!!!!! (unless its a sports jersey like the addidas All Blacks polo)
 
Hi Alhana and Blossom,

u are rite. all guys share similar interest. but i always think that we shouldn't buy computer games for them cos they will be glued to it and pay lesser attention to us, don't u think so?

one of my friend's hubby very funny. he tried to surprise her on her birthday by sending flowers to her office. but he didn't know the address so he asked her directly. when my friend asked him whether he's going to send her flowers, he said it's meant to be a surprise but my friend already knows. my friend thought that he's so silly to ask her, should have look at her business card instead or called the general line to get the address mah.
 
hi EL,

I dun mind buying games for my hubby coz I play them myself :P We actually play some of the same games and end up sharing pointers n strategies
happy.gif
But my hubby won't go overboard one lah..if i feel neglected, I'd say so and he'll keep me company until I'm happy and say..okay u can go bk to ure game! Hehehe..or he'll wait till i sleep then play.

Yah, ure friend's hubby sure is silly! I'm sure u can find the address easily in the yellow pages or even better, on her name card! Guess he didn't think tt far :P
 
hi el,
lol.gif
ur fren's hubby so silly.....

hmm.... also agree cannot give them computer games. my hubby can play until dun sleep wan. sigh!

cherubies,
u muz take care ok..... Sleep well tonite!
Hope u get well tomolo.
happy.gif


Yah yah... muz share with me your experience.....
bounce.gif


Yes! excited and busy running here and there..... only today to relax but i ate so much today leh....
biggrin.gif
 
Hi gals,

Hee..I guess most gals are anti-games. It can be very engrossing..I myself have been guilty of playing for hours! Luckily my hubby is also into games else it wld be a role-reversal..he wld complain tt I neglect him :P We used to play online games when in the Uni (that's how we met actually..online..so 90s right) and my hubby actually skipped lectures n tutorials just to play. Luckily he's not so extreme now :P
 
Hi gals,

Wah juz a few days never come in got so many postings arady.... Btw Al, u from 4D rite? Do u know Yumin (also on CO)? If I remember correctly, she oso from 4D.
 
Hi Carol,

as 4 the brides price, there r no hard & fast rules bt it. My frd who got married this yr, her FH gave her mom 2K , but her mum took onli 100 & returned the rest. H/E she did ask for more tables. I guess its flexible. As 4 the stylist, I
guess since ure not happy wif the results 4 yr PS , u shd change yr makeup artist /stylist.
Indicate yr preferences since uve got an idea
on what works on u ya ?
happy.gif


Yo Wenn & Jojok,

sorry 4 MIA these few days. Me bz & also fell ill.
But now im more or less up & running *HEEHE*

Wenn, wow yr fren's mom sounds super fierce leh.
Pity yr FH, din do anything yet kenna fr her.
I think he will have 2nd thots next time u intend to visit her. FH's mom did ask me whether My mom wanted a roast pig. But i told my mom very leh cheh leh. Cos muz go collect, cut, then return. Muz also give relatives ah ? Haven't made a decision, but most prob wld skip the pig.


Jojok.,
alamak! I remembered the guy's name wrongly lah.
Yup he's called R******. He came for our yr 4
Piano recital. Saw him once onli. Dawn & him looks
good together. They've been together for quite some time ya? shd settle down too.. Send her my regards when u next bump into her ok ? Tks!
 
Yo Seiko!

Take care ah! Me oso on antibiotics due to small cyst in my upper eyelid ...

I think ur FH must pick up the pig, then bring to ur place when he comes for u on wedding morning. Then ur mum just need to chop up the middle & the pig will return to FH house w u. Ur FH need to get 2 guy frens to help carry the pig lor...

Have a great weekend
happy.gif
 
Hi Seiko & Wenn,take care... drink plenty of water.

Me going to have a relax wk this coming wk, b working 4 only 1.5day...hee.e... 2.5days on course & took 1 day leave for facial & going down to my bridal shop for a short while. Need a short break!

My mum dun intend to ask for roast pig, she finds it too leh cheah & she says its not in our dialect custom, anyway I m agreeable to it. My SIL who got married last yr was a Cantanese but we also didn't give her roast pig (as usual, my mum finds it leh cheah), instead, my mum give her angbao, but her mum returned some $$$ back to us.

My mum mentioned that 4 bride price it also depends on the no. of tables requested by the gal side. My SIL requested for 5-6 tables & if I remember correctly the bride price was around $2988 (my SIL parents didn't ask for it, they said any amt) & her mum also returned some $$$ back.

What r ur wedding preparations now? Me only sourcing for actual day photographer, quite relax, like nothing much to do ya?
 
Morning ladies!!!


Wenn: girl, u muz take care of yrself too! how's
the cyst? has it subsided? dunno if i shd
go ahead wif the roast pig on the wedding
morning cos i'm afraid of inconvenience.
methink i'll let my mom decide if she
wants it.

Jojok : wahhh gd life huh ? can take 1 day off
for facial :P btw, where do u go for
facials? This wk might be helping a frd
out, not confirmed yet anyway. what
dialect grp r u ?? me hokkien.

Wenn & Jojok, u gals getting ROM on yr actual day itself ? My preparations r more or less complete.
Jus like Jojok, i have to source for the actual day photographer, hopefully can complete my tasks
by end of this yr.
Ooops, 4got, i still haven't bought my shoes for my ROM next mth ! *darn*
 
Bonjour mademoiselles!!

Just got back from my discussion w CIO on buying new equipment. Worked till evening last sat so still a bit tired. This week's work will be more relaxed as got quite a few seminars, so can escape from office
biggrin.gif


Yes, will take care of myself. In fact, the cyst has gone down. Thanks for e concern
happy.gif


Nope, might not ROM on same day as customary. Last nite FH emailed ROM dates to FIL. Now waiting for him to decide. He said he will get the tong shu in mauritius to check again. The tong shu comes out later there than SG. Will see if he wants roast pig or not.... final decision up to him lor...

I've settled my bridal, car & actual day photographer liao. Now left w ROM date, ROM rings & furniture. Still dunno wat jewellery I want from my parents & the si dian jin....

So must start saving more $$$ liao.... muz control myself & refrain from shopping,,,, quite diff coz office in raffles city.....
crazy.gif


seiko, shoes quite ez to get lah,,,, somemore everywhere got sale.... so, u on holiday liao???
 
hi el,
i got it from some website. i think the thread very dull to have only words so post some nice pics to add colour and relieve stress.
wink.gif


how's ur weekend?
 
Hi gals,

I have signed up facial package w Body Wellness. Signed up w them previously when they had promotion for singnet members. Not bad...

I m a HockChew (rare dialect gp). We r known 4 our "Angchow chicken". Looks like red chicken..kee.e. (that's what my FH says).

Wenn, u better take care. YOur cyst not fully recovered yet u got to work so late in the office.

We dun practise si dian jin but my parents will still b buying some jewelleries 4 me. A pair of bangles/bracklets is a must. Dun know what else to ask for leh??

Agree w Wenn, there is sale everywhere, so shld b easy to find shoe during this period.
 
Hi Blossom,

You really put in effort into this thread. Thanks!

My weekend like that lor. Very routine one. Movies, dinner, sleep.... very boring. How's yours?
 
hi el,
which movie did u watch? harry porter?
happy.gif


my weekend equally boring..... i think u wun believe this.... i spent 12 hours on rebonding....
crazy.gif


i went on saturday. i think they prob feel that my hair very straight so din put a lot of chemicals on my hair. within half an hour after i left the saloon, my hair turned frizzy again. my hubby commented that he din detect the difference in my hair at all....
sad.gif


i went back again yesterday, they redo it for me. sat down there for another 6 hours... sit until my buttock pain, nearly doze off too.
11781.gif


they told me my frizz very stubborn. actually i know loh. when my makeup artist did my hair in the morning of my wedding, i only took 5 minutes to wash it off in the afternoon. bascially my hair will take back it's original shape very fast.
lame.gif


this time round they put in more chemicals, more heat. the assistants giap my face and ear accidentally...nearly bbq them
lol.gif
... the lady boss is more experienced.

anyway, i am quite satisfied with the results. though my frizz is not fully eliminated but it's so much better than the first time. anyway, dun wish to go back again.... very tiring to sit for another 6 hours leh. that's how i spent my weekend.... i want my beauty sleep!!!
11782.gif
 
Blossom,

12 Hours!!! Me definitely doze off.... i don't have the patience to sit still for so many hours!

my hair is the opposite of yours. too straight. friends and colleagues kept asking how much my hair rebonding cost when i didn't even go for it in the first place. it's so straight that even with lots of hair gel, it won't get into shape!

i went to watch double vision yesterday. love horror movies but scared too. my hubby always say that bringing me to watch horror movies is a waste of his money cos i'll only watch half of it. the other half i'll only listen cos my eyes will be covered by my hands. hahaha!

tonight and tomorrow got leonids. don't sleep. go and watch the shooting stars. after this year, we won't get to see them again in our lifetime.
 


hi el,
haha.... my hair takes shape easily and will go back to its original shape easily too. when i left the saloon, still nice nice but after a while frizzy liao. that's why dun intend to go back again, they may thought i lie to them.
biggrin.gif
but really crazy to do twice, i think i lost a lot of hair in the process.
lame.gif


double vision looks scary, seen the thriller. wah, at least u got the courage to watch. i never never dare to watch horror movies in theatre. i will yi sheng yi gui after that. i agree with ur hubby, u waste $$.
lol.gif
nowadays very ex to watch movie leh.

lenoids? really?! okie, will watch out for it.
