Ex-schoolgirls meeting place

Hi Blossom,

May I ask which salon you went to? I oso do rebonding on a regular basis (every 5 mths)but I think your salon take abit too long arady leh... My hair is very, very thick but not that curly. It's juz that the waves are very very stubborn. Before rebonding started, I had always been doing relaxer which doesn't last at all. Used to go to my regular stylist for rebonding but she takes about 7 hrs for the whole process and I really can't tahan. Like yours, I had to go back again to do 'touch ups' and she always say becos my hair too thick. Then one day, 1 of my excolleague came to work with rebonded hair (the effect looked very good) and she told me she only took about 3 hours! So I got the contact from her and since then have been going there.

The salon is Kimage at Chinatown Point. For my exceptionally thick hair, they only took about 4 hrs to do. In fact, my hair texture has improved alot! Got to be quite selective when it comes to rebonding cos some of my frens actually came back with frizzy hair after rebonding which should not be the way. For one of my fren, she had rebonding done at a salon at Raffles Hotel and her hair turned bad. Guess wat the stylist told her? He said her hair texture not suitable so cannot take it. Then he should have said so in the first place when he assessed her hair rite? So got to really be very cautious when it comes to rebonding.
 


hi woofee,
really? i did it in a neighbourhood saloon recommended by a fren. heehee... but im contented lah. the texture not too bad, much better than the coarse and frizzy hair i had. i felt like a model in a shampoo ad now.
biggrin.gif


kimage.... heard not bad but quite ex rite. me dun want to spend too much cos my hair basically quite straight, just a bit frizzy. it used to be quite bad, the whole day like a frizz ball but i did heavy conditioning and went for monthly treatment but still have some stubborn frizz.
sad.gif


must definitely go the kimage at chinatown point ah? i got one outlet very near my home. but wun go for rebonding in the short term lah, at least let the effect of my twice rebonding wear our first.
crazy.gif
 
Konnichiwa!

I've signed up again w Green Sanctuary for a course of 10 facials. They throw in 2 more free sessions & 12 free sessions of eye treatment... so far, i find that not bad for my sensitive skin lor...

thanks jojok, will be sleeping earlier 2nite,, although quite stressed recently... maybe can get pendant & ear rings....
 
Hi Blossom,

Yah, must go to the one at Chinatown Point cos my colleague went to a different one, she came back and complained.

X anot uh? Errr, compared to neighbourhood ones definitely more x. I paid $214 (whole thing + treatment and cut). If your hair is basically quite straight then I dun think there's a need to go for the x ones. But like me who can only survive with rebonding, I got no choice leh... Can't stand even a little bit of wave..
happy.gif


U did the rebonding yesterday rite? So I think you better tahan for today cos really cannot wash. Bear with it lah... afterall u spent $$ arady so if you wash now uh... scarly $$ go down the drain. And remember not to clip or tug your hair behind your ears for this week u noe. Otherwise the effect won't be good. Also dun tie your hair even when u shower today. Must tahan for 1 week if you want your hair to be meimei. But then again, alot of my frens also dun care. I more kia si... follow instructions to a T! $214 u noe!
 
hi woofee,
i will endure but it's really very itchy. hair nice nice but scratch like monkey king also very ugly rite.
biggrin.gif


a lot of my frens bochap. but becos of my 12 hours of valuable weekend time, i must ensure that the effect stays.....
crazy.gif
 
Hi Blossom

Yah lor... bear with it only for today lah. Everything will be back to normal after u wash your hair tomorrow
happy.gif
 
hi woofee,
thanks! initially i want to rebond over a long weekend. so that my hair less likely to get dirty since im at home. but i miss the recent deepavali and i want to do it for my fren's wedding this weekend. so bo bian loh....
lame.gif
 
hi all,

wow! now then i know rebonding got so much knowledge in it. thought it's just sitting in the salon and read magazines while waiting. didn't know cannot wash hair, cannot tug hair behind ears etc.

Blossom,

i know of a salon in bedok which i frequent. their service and skills seem to be quite good. and the price is reasonable too. maybe you want to check it out? it's next to cold storage.
 
YO Ladies of KC !

Harlow!

Wenn : Yup, having hols but got 2 go back sometimes 2 tie up some loose ends. Basically
R n R 4 me now.....think ive got 2 full day course
coming up, but dunno when. Went back 2 office 2day, hardly any1 ard. strange not to see students ard, usually they'll be screaming or running or doing both at the corridors *HEEE*

Jojok & Wenn : Think i'll get my shoes this wkend
fr Orchard as there r more choices. 1st stop Tangs. Heard they have quite a selection ........


Ladies, how much did u pay 4 yr sessions / package ?

How was your weekend?
 
Hello gals,

wow, you gals are indeed taking good care of your skin now with all these packages. I had a package with Haach but didnt go, prob will try to use the services soon.

Wenn, Green Sanctuary is the one by BodyShop? They offer body massage too? Need body massage to soothe my damn tired body. Your FH is from mauritius? So cool!

Jojok, your parents can get you a set of jewellery consisting of chain, pendent, bracelet and earrings for you. Better to get items that you will still wear after the wedding. My parents got me chain with cross and bracelet as dowry while the inlaws gave me sidianjin as we are teochew.

I got 3 pairs of my wedding shoes custom made at Riccino but for ROM, I bought off-the-rack silver crystal-studded sandals. Riccino's shoes are a little on the high side I feel and the quality is only so-so.

I am thinking of asking for $1888 for the pinjin, for which mum will keep $1288 and 5 tables. Will this appear to be too much?
 
hi bluechin,

hee hee.. one more day ya!!
happy for you...!!!
happy.gif


weekend was ok...
tell me what time must u wake up tomorrow? =0)
 
Cherubies,
yah.... one more day to go....
happy.gif


I gonna wake up at 5am....Hubby will leave his place at 7am.

Can't sleep well last nite.... wonder whether i'll be able to sleep tonight....
sad.gif


mind is still quite packed thinking wat hubby has to do today cos he volunteered to take over all tasks from me cos i'm really too stressed up and requires rest. But i trying to figure out if there r more things down the list.

Wonder how's rainchilla and the rest?
uhoh.gif
 
Hi bluechin,
so early and ya, u r up early today too...
you will be too excited to sleep tonite!!!

don't worry. i'm sure your hubby will get everything done...=0)

remember, it's your wedding!!!

ya, wonder how the other gals r?
gals, if you r out there, talk to us!!! =0P
 
Morning gals,

Seiko: 6 weeks passes by quickly,,,, then u'll get to see the kids again....

My cold compress facial package for sensitive skin costs $850. 10 sessions comes w 2 free sessions & 12 free eye treatments. I think the normal facial package is cheaper. Used to take their normal facial package at $350 for 5 sessions w 1 free but no free eye treatments. I think some of Haach's package is cheaper...

Carol: Yup, they do different types of massages. My facial is oso done with aromatherapy oils. Hee hee,,, yup, since FH is from mauritius,, got excuse to go there for holiday... i'm going to start revising my french which i took in poly...

I think the pin jing is just up to the individual families lor,,, as long as never ask for upfront cash ang bao of 10K or more is fine liao...
 
Cherubies,
actually i could sleep well so was up since 7am..... actually woke up at 2am to do some stuffs also......

In the end, my hubby's calling me for this and that...seems like not much rest....
biggrin.gif
 
hi el,
i see... din really noticed it. i think there was a fire there recently. walked pass recently, the whole place is black.
 
hi el,
i din see the news too. heard it from my hubby. the shops beside shop n save are all badly burnt down. shop n save is under reno now. dunno how it started. looks scary.
lame.gif
 
Hi Ladies!

Carol : at least u gals have already sourced for
facials... i haben leh. As 4 the sidianjin
& pinjin, haven thot of it yet since my
customary is still mths ahead. Actually
when is the time 2 get all these
completed ?

Wenn : I really miss the shouting( by the kids )
& the scolding ( by me ) *Hahah* Actually
I hate the nov/dec hols... feels so
empty. I was at International Plaza, so
dropped in at Leapin Lizard. Saw the pix
of bridal shoes.... temptation was too
great .... I ended up custom-making a pair
of open toes. I chose light silver wif a
small coil of simple 'diamond studs'in the
middle. That came up to 90 bucks. H/E
When I saw another design wif 3 lines of
'diamond studs' criss-crossing, I fell in
love wif it... Aiyah... i gave in to the
2nd round of temptation & ended up paying
220 for my shoes! feeling kinda sore cos
ive never bought such an ex pair of shoes,
then again, after i have used it for my
ROM, can recycle for my Actual Day rite ?
PS : I'm trying 2 comfort myself by saying
that *HEHEH*
Prudence & practicality.... where were they
when i needed them
 
Morning CHerubies,
I'm waiting for my make up artist to arrive....

Had really bad flu yesterday.... It's still slight flu today....
sad.gif


Hope everything turns out well today.....

u take care!
happy.gif
 
seiko,

wah, u really splurge.... was telling myself that worst come to worst, would go to leaping lizards... last time ever bought shoes from them at oub shopping arcade...

me quite poor now since recently paid for bridal, actual day & car deposit, oso my facial package... i guess would stop christmas gift buying & not buy new clothes for CNY except for a few tops....
uhoh.gif


if u r interested in facial from green sanctuary, can look for catherine...

btw, where did u go to get ur ROM rings?
 
Hi bluechin,

Congrats!!! it's your big day today...

must take care ya, drink as much Vit C as u can...

don't worry... everything will go well...ok...

'talk' to you soon!!!
happy.gif
 
heehee.... i washed my hair last nite..... very suang.... now very happy.
proud.gif


my rebonded hair still in place. a bit frizz but i can live with it. afterall, i have been a frizzball for many years.
lame.gif
 
Wenn,

me still a lil heartache man... nvm, kept telling myself i'll try to live frugally for the next few days ... ( always try thinking like this when i buy ex stuff, but never works *HEE* )
Spent quite alot this mth too, but not really related to ROM. That stupid jar of Creme De La Mer
did amount to quite some $$ plus i bought myself
a new phone, & the shoes ?... wow, i really did overspend leh.
But cos of vanity sake , muz look mei mei 4 ROM,
so invested in a jar of 'hope'. so far am happy wif the results
happy.gif


I got my rings fr Soo Kee, cos FH a Vip card holder, so got discount. Now waiting to carve our names on the ring ....


Errr... where that Jojok har ?
 
Hi Ladies,

Just happened to "bump" into this thread...

Hey woofee, i also rebonding queen lei...every 5-6 months, i must go for rebonding one... like you, previously i depended on relaxing for straighter hair... usually it's the new growth that is very stubornishly curly...really wish that something can be done to my hair permanently so that i will never need to do any rebonding again... so waste of money...

By the way, I'm from AHS also, graduated in Year 93, went to TJC after that followed by NTU Business... quite fun to to read through the ealrier threads, reminding me of all the horror stories in school, especially told by bull ___ Lee... :o) His lessons are always very interesting one...
 
Wow Seiko, you bought creme be la mer... expensive stuff. Some of my friends used it and the results are very good. Is it a day or nite cream or for both? I am looking around for a good nite cream also. But quite worried to try new products because so near to wedding already.

I spent a lot on my wedding day shoes too, each pair was about $180 and I have 3 pairs. Similarly also couldnt control myself, I was trying to comfort myself by saying its once in a lifetime. So, everything also go to the max that I can afford. I spent about 6k on my gowns and its on WG and EG only. Never mind lah, can save after wedding is over, at least that is what I hope to do.

Now very excited cos planning for my honeymoon and of course buying winter clothes. Just bought a coat from Mango. Want to check out Zara too. So busy after work each nite that I havent been to Zara yet!

Those things are meant for GDL, which is usually 2 or 3 weeks before the customary wedding. So, as long as you buy the sidianjin before that should be ok. Or whenever there is sale and you managed to find something that you like : )
 
hi Blossom,

sorry, me a bit busy today cos my boss just came back from business trip. and he's sitting in the room right behind me, so a bit diff to come into the forum.

Hi Carol !

yup i bought the bigger jar 60ml at $315 even b4 i tried it. Luckily ive got no allegic reaction 2 it Phewwww or else its $$ down the drain. I decided to splurge on it after hearing the +ve comments fr mags, it being hailed as the holy grail of stars etc. It comes in lotion or creme ( the original ) form. I chose the creme form which is considered heavy in texture for my oily skin. Being a true Singaporean, i was worried the lotion wld be diluted & im not getting my $$ worth *HEEE* Since its so 'rich' , i use it as a night cream. the acne scars i've had, had since been less noticable. skin texture more even. I use bt 3 spoons every night, instead of the recommended one measured spoon ( which came wif the packaging). Again, Singaporean in spirit. KIASU :P

Wow, yr wedding package is ex! which studio did u go to? Have u had yr customary ? So gd, u can plan yr honeymoon already. Ive got to wait a yr, cos we planning next nov/dec. Zara's got lots of winter wear since its in season. Lovely coats the last time i visited the shop.

Alamak, i haben plan the GDL leh .. shd have enuf time to plan hor ?

Wenn,

Oiii i juz bought that mag too!! many of the listed songs r already in my list! talk bt coincidences!

I met up wif Nick Goh today. Went thru his portfolio. FH very happy wif his work, opted 4 his gold package ( $1500 ). We're juz hoping that
he is avail on our actual day * Crossing Fingers*
 
morning seiko,

i think jojok is on course,,,, so mia liao...

yeah,,, u have found ur actual day photographer liao...

i've received some vouchers from goldheart,, oso got their vip card but all these can't be used for wedding bands unless we look for other types of rings... i like white gold but my FH wants to get gold wedding bands instead,,, so will go look-see-look-see this saturday...
 
Hi EL,

My fiance was from 92 batch as well. We didn't know each other in school one, only after we left school, we knew each other from church and started only like 2 years ago... so small world right...?

Hi Blossom,

Hmmm... prefer to keep my identity annoymous for now lei... anyway, i from the sap classes one...
 
Morning Wenn
happy.gif


goldheart is quite stict wif their discounts ya?
Actually im ok wif either whitegold or gold, but FH wanted whitegold. ironically, we found 1 that is whitegold , but has a line of gold across.

as 4 nick, he hasn't confirmed leh ... so waiting 4 his call. Hmm maybe i shd call instead


Wenn, u wif which studio? have u spoken to yr designer bt yr gowns?
 
seiko,

yah lor,,, but i loved this gold ring at goldheart with a band of 9 small diamonds,,, but kiv 1st cost it cost $800,,,

now listening to the free cd... really loved 'smoke gets in ur eyes'.. my sis was thinking of getting dad's fren to sing this song for us coz he's got a good voice
happy.gif


i'm w j&c. the designer told me to go back after cny to select her new collection of otr gowns. i'm entitled to a new otr WG in my package. as for mtm EG, she was saying that i can go thru her collection of EG & re-do the one i want in the colour of my preference... some of her 2-piece EGs are rather nice but need to lose weight 1st...

but am looking at magazines now for any gown designs that i may fancy...
 
seiko!!!
i found the song i want for my 2nd march!! song number 6, The Wedding.

initially, couldn't find it cos i dunno the title. thot that it was ave maria.

now, so happy... but the version on this cd is a bit slow... neber mind,,, can go & find now that i know the title liao....
 
Wenn,

huh got free cd meh ? i bought fr this mama stall in bugis juction basement near food court. This indian lady din gimme leh ... but i read bt the songs inside the mag... there was a list rite ?
as 4 'Smoke gets in yr eyes', i love the version in the OST of ' 4 weddings & a funeral' . very upbeat. have u heard it ?

my studion also asked me to go to them 4 designs after CNY. Im oso trying to lose weight leh.
The last time i remembered losing weight when i juz met FH, u know the euphoric feeling, butterflies in the stomach feeling, aiyoh., i cld 4get bt hunger so easily at that time *HAHAH*

Now, im sourcing 4 food when i can. Got cravings 4 chocolates lately ..... CHARM liao ...

Im also buying mags, which my mum disapproves.
she said buy so many 4 what when most designs r repeated ? Errr... some lah ... but i think the foreign mags offers more ....
 
Seiko,
i bought it yesterday from MPH ... cd is on the outside in a clear plastic cover... maybe u can go back & ask her for the cd? if she can't give u then i can do a copy for u. but the songs on the cd are covers and not original...

i dun have the soundtrack of 4 weddings & i can remember they have the song in the show liao..

my sis bought for me the uk wedding bliss mag & i recently bought the modern bride mag. when i free then i go down to taka kino to browse...

u charmm liao,,, now xmas season got lots of chocs!!! i think coz its the hols, so u r not busy,, so ur mouth gets itchy....
wink.gif
 
Hi Seiko and Wenn,

Seiko, can the miracle creme minimize pores too? I am desperately looking for something that can make my pores on the nose smaller and less noticable.

I am a choc lover too, must have choc dessert, icecream or choc whenever I am having menses. Now that you reminded me, maybe I should eat some orea biscuit.

By the way, I had some not so good encounter with the photographer that you are getting. Dun really want to say in this forum, if you want to know can email me at [email protected]. Anyway, I got an actual day photographer now. his name is Triston. He did Zoe's wedding too, and is a really nice guy.

Wenn, Seiko, when is your wedding? I haven't even choose my wedding songs yet, very lazy to go to cd shops to find leh.

btw, I am a Tan Yoong bride.
 
Wenn,

tks 4 yr offer so nice of u, but its ok, cos ive already got some songs in my cds
happy.gif
tks again.

i bought 3 foreign mags so far. Bridal Guide ( best bridal bk ),Modern Bride(Oct/Nov) & For the Bride ( not very impressive ).
Bridal Guide has got so many adverts of bridal gowns, that i went googoo n gaga over them!

I know this Xmas season si liao .... love white chocos, mint ones too.... aiyoh !
mouth super itchy liao hehhee
