Hi Wenn, Seiko,

Wow, your so on... scan so many photos. Me no scanner leh...

I may have a few recent photos taken at Batam (that's when he proposed to me), shall upload when free.

Jojok, aiyoh i din scan lah... juz happen 2 find a few pix i stored in a diskette, so thot id try 2 learn how 2 post pix lor. *sigh* i din take a pix of the way he propose leh .... me born in yr of rabbit, so he bought me a rabbit doll when i came back fr Beijing( affectionately called zai zai, bunny by 2 of us ). When he proposed, he slipped the solitaire onto the carrot tt zai zai was holding n asked me to switch off the lights
b4 presenting zai zai 2 me. But i din notice anything until he ask me to look closer. Methinks i was too shocked 2 take pix then *hee*

JOjok, so gd leh, at least uve got pix of yr proposal 2 remind u of sweet memories
 
I visited PL a couple of times but that's at least 8 years ago. Haven't been back since altho' a couple of my frens are teaching there. The school seems to have improved after we left.

Looking fwd to ur wedding?

Hi Kittycat,

Haven't logged on for a long time, cos I delivered on 25 Oct, one month ahead of my due date.

Although baby is pre-term, she's very healthy and I'm on maternity leave now.

RST
 
hi kittycat,

at first looking forward to...but now got another year to go...so a bit losing steam oredi.

looking for actual day photographers now. any suggestions?

tot of having jazz band too....but yet to decide on any.

how long did u take to prepare your wedding??
 
Thanks, I'm sure we'll recognise each other by faces not names! Anyway, I'm not exactly popular in school.....by the way, you don't happen to be Jasmine, are you?
wink.gif
She's the only one I remembered in Sec 5N!
 
Hi piper,

I booked my hotel 9 months before the wedding and signed up with the bridal shop and actual day photographer 6 months before. And I had to lose weight like 2 months before the wedding. That's all I did - not very much prep work put in.

I highly recommend Choon Huat from Fastsoup for actual day photography. He is really great!
biggrin.gif


I wanted strollers for the dinner but the ballroom was too small to accommodate them so we dropped the idea. Having a jazz band is a nice touch! There wouldn't be much to do till the date draws closer unless you want to personlize ur wedding!
 
Hi RST,

Congrats! Nothing beats having a healthy and cheery baby rite! How are you coping with the newborn? I always hear "horror" stories abt the 1st couple of months.
 
Hi Kittycat,

think me more KS than you. My venue & bridal boutique booked oredi...

think most of the things done except actual day photographer. I've asked abt Fastsoup, but dun understand wat his package cover.

Does he just arrange the photos in slot-in albums or will he do it journalistic style?
 
nope...me not Jasmine, do u have any nice wedding photos to share with me, then i can see if i have seen u before in school..
happy.gif
where are u working now??
 
Hi piper,

My husband say I'm very bo-chap abt the wedding. I cldn't wait to get it over and done with lah.. din even bother with wedding photos.

Choon Huat's photography style is journalistic. And he has 3 or 4 different packages which consists of different stuff. Have you given him a call? I cld pass you his no. He will come out and meet you to talk to you abt his packages and show you his portfolios. All his packages provide a slot-in album. He's a very nice chap!
 
Hi Kittycat,

I've got the quotation from him already. which package did u take?

I mean, on top of the slot-in album, does he provide a separate portfolio of the "moments" of the wedding day?

Also, how about crowd control? is he good at it?
 
Hi piper,

I took the last package, I think. I had the photo essay album which consists of 20 photos telling you a story of the wedding day. I'm not too sure if that was what you mean by separate portfolio of the "moments" of the wedding day.

He didn't have to do crowd control coz our frens organized that for us. But he's very good at capturing those "moments" of the day... like me scrounging up my face or laughing. The part I like abt him is his unobtrusiveness... dun know if that's the right word. He doesn't hang ard me and ask me to pose this way or tat way or make us do funny stuff. He works very quietly...
 
Hi gals,

wow, Wenn, I almost couldnt recognize you!! but yes, I remember who you are now! Ok, I will also find pictures to upload, haha, of course my wedding photos included. Called photographer yesterday but he was overseas, so can't get my photos back. But at least got my FIL to bring his newer scanner back home already, so once get photos from Benny, I will be able to upload.

Luckily today friday already, so busy today, haven't even had lunch!! Will be attending a wedding dinner tonite. On the topic of angpow, I think for Shangrila, it has to be at least 100 for weekend. Actually, it was one of my choice too when I was selecting hotels. Every package on weekends cost about 1k plus, and that is excluding drinks like beer and wine. I am quite worried about my wedding dinner too. If my guests give me $80 angpow, will have to suffer huge losses. But, no choice lah, anyway, sometimes, just happy that people make their time to attend the wedding, so as long as didnt lose too much, its still ok.

Seiko, how's your review of La mer creme after using it for a week?? I am thinking of purchasing it once my SK II signs treatment runs out.

Have a nice weekend!
 
hi carol,
u remember valeriane toon? i was at suntec earlier, & she rushed past me outside watsons... she still looked the same but i've lost touch w her oreadi...

looking forward to seeing ur photos
happy.gif
where do u stay at the moment?

as for banquet, i chose a restaurant as most of my relatives' angbaos won't be big. will keep my fingers crossed & hope that the angbaos collected can cover most of the costs...
 
Hi carol,

Shangri La is really a gd choice, but kinda ex when dinner is held on weekends. Did consider it too, but settled on Mandarin in the end. Jojok is also a Mandarin bride.

How bt u ? which hotel did u choose?

Been using La Mer for more than a month now. Love the effect. Its better as a night cream cos if u choose to buy the original cream version, then muz live wif the stickiness. It comes in lotion form too but i'd rather stick to the original since its the one that won rave reviews.
Im concurrently using SKII's treatmt essence too.
After SKII then I use La Mer. but dun really like SK's smell, smells like vinegar, muz b cos of the sake ( Pitera ). I think my 60 ml pot of La Mer is diminishing quite quickly. Think muz ration already *hee*

Oh i visited the Woman Inspire Expo held at Suntec. INteresting. Had my nails done ( shape n polish only ) by Daisy's Nail Cottage ( 8 bucks only ! ).

Lots of booths, but mostly those beauty houses like Rustic Nirvana, Bella, Amore.
I signed up for 8 body treatmts wif Amore.
They're having a promotion only 4 exhibition visitors. They're offering 3 treatments on offer at 68 each. 1) swedish body massage+ body Seaweed Wrap + Aromatic steambath OR 2) full body peppermint polish + dead sea mud wrap OR 3)
aromatherapy facial + Hydrating eye treatmt + eyebrow shaping.

I took 8 treatments ( can choose fr either 3 when i call them 4 appointment ) at 560 i think cos + gst. According 2 Amore salespple, the 68 treatmts r trial treatmts shd u sign up in their outlets, after that subsequent treatments r at their full price of 85 ( or 88 ). Quite weak will again hor ? *hee*

Then hor, im psychoing myself 2 think of it as a form of pamper treatment b4 da big day. Charm, muz always psycho myself when i buy things. Si liao
 
Hi Wenn,

during sch days, me the skiver *hee* never liked ECA's. hated sports, wanted to do sth tt avoid the sun n dun have to move that much 1, so joined lib only when i was in Sec 3, then cont when i was in Sec 4. Ohhhh, i did join taekwondo in Sec 1 ( dun prey prey hor ? *heee** ), Art club in Sec 2. I miss Sec life .... i remembered there was a yr , Sec 3 ithink, they held a lib wk or was it the book n music week ? My class decorated the classrm as a haunted house. I was the 'Mummy in residence', many frds kare lair fair as draculars, ghosts. So fun. We sort of built a maze, n it was pitch black when visitors walked thru the maze. Suddenly there'll b hands groping them ( hope no1 got groped at wrong places *HAHAH* ) , flour n water thrown in their faces. Sounds fun rite ? we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Ohhhh, i really miss my Sec days leh
 
Hi kittycat,

thanks for your advice. think the way he work sounds like Benny Ang. I've seen his work and was really impressed with his works, but he's too expensive!

think will now psycho my hubby to view Choon Huat's work.
 
morning seiko,
aiyoo, i was always performing in pri school & i grew tired & got out of it in sec. it was always ballet exams & competitions, or choir competitions etc... quite sian after a few years... every1 in my school went to TKGS but i decided to meet new frens in KC instead
happy.gif


still remember our water bomb dayz, play till my underwear was soaked w water!!! sat on bus & seat was wet when i got up!!! still remembered doing up our class into little italy when i was in 1/5. those were the dayz with book & music week, lots of performances, pastoral care dayz ...

went sitex yesterday & bought a low-end scanner under offer as FH traded-in his printer. oso bought a DVD drive for FH
happy.gif
wanted to get digital camera but he said no
sad.gif


yesterday was the 1st time i drove long-distance man,,, drove him to jurong from expo to drop of his printer b4 driving him back to tampines to enjoy my mum's ginseng chicken soup
happy.gif
 
Hi Wenn,


now that u mentioned, i remember going to the basketball court where many of us threw water bombs at each other. So fun ... felt so liberated *HEE* I think it was the pastoral camp ya ? still remember during the night, some idiot woke us all up, saying she heard someone playing the piano in the foyer ( we were all sleeping in the hall ).
It freaked us all up, in the end, all of us huddled together n talked till dawn.

Digital camera has pros n cons. FH likes it . In fact he bought 3. 1 Nikon (cost 1 K ) for his work. He claims during surgery can take sharp pix wor. 1 Panasonic F7 ( he said the Leica lens very gd ), then he bought the Casio Exilim for me. But aiya that Casio really a waste of $ cos only 1.2 megapix. He said its small n light enuf 4 me to carry in handbag. I dun like it, so in the end i took the F7. Somehow i dun relaly trust digital camera cos i saved most of my pix in the comp. Then when my comp crashed, i lost all pix
sad.gif

So i try to use the old fashion camera, more secure lah *hee*

wah talking bt driving, my parents n FH kept bugging me to drive. I passed my test when i was 18. wahh 9 yrs ago liao man! but hor , i still cannot park, cannot reverse, cannot u turn. Can only drive straight. ( Dunno how i pass oso )
I remember my driving instructor placing a blue tack on the hind screen, then when i see the poles approaching the blue tack, then muz turn how many rounds etc. So i really dun know how 2 park if they're no poles. MY father always say
I very KA YOU. so id rather not drive lor.

Wahh u so gd can drive long distance ah ? my steering wheel cannot even control properly. Alamak, next time whoever sits in my car, is putting themselves at risk man :P
 
Hi, gals. I oso like Benny's work but my husband didn't really like his shots so we are doing the photos wif Robin. Just signed up wif silouette 2 weeks ago and i'm really looking forward to the dressmaking. Haven't decided on actual day photography. Is Choon Huat really good? Kittycat, u from 91 batch? Were u from GB? GB gals quite prominent leh. Looks like A loh a public enemy of sch gals. My fav teachers were Mrs Ding, Mrs Neo and Ms Goh Eng Keng. RST, you planning to send ur daughter to PL in future?
 
Naturally n Kn, who are you? We are from the same batch.Good to hear people from our batch oso getting married. I was from the same class as Jessie Ye in Sec 3 and 4. Mrs A Loh really had something against her and we didnt know why. Have you settled your wedding prep? I know our batch Connie Ang got married. She known as Mrs Tay now. From my class,Zhang tingting and shuzhen got married. Felicia Lee romed I think! Who else u know u know from our batch oso married? I v kpo hor?
 
morning seiko,
yup, those were the good old dayz
happy.gif


my colleague bought the fuji dig camera with 3.1 pixels, i think. asked him to help take journalistic shots for us on the actual day since he has taken photography classes b4... me dun want to spend too much lor...

actually, driving is pretty simple one, just need practise lor... go for refresher class lah??? just need a bit of judgement & ah gar ah gar can liao...
 
Hi,

Yes, I also remember playing water bomb at the basketball court, that was real fun!! nowadays kids seem to miss out such fun... Seiko, does the kids in your sch get to play like us b4?

I also can drive... enjoyed driving in Aust compared to S'pore. went to australia last yr, drove fm Brisbane to Goldcoast to Sunshine Coast to Noosa Heads & all the way back to Brisbane again. It was really fun driving in Aust as they have alot of steep slopes esp on the way to Sunshine coast. I was the sole driver as my FH can't drive, but he is a very good navigator...
 
Afternoon Ladies!

Wenn, wow ure lucky uve got a colleague who's skilled in photography. we dun have any so better engage nick 2 do it
happy.gif
dun dare 2 go 4 refresher course, cos im afraid the instructor will yell at me. I very Ka you driver, AGARation oso pretty bad *hee* but hor, methinks muz overcome my fear.
I everything oso scared, aiyo how 2 do big things rite ? :P

Jojok, aiyoh the kids nowadays very poor things.
My sch is undergoing upgrading so, even the pathetic lil field had been transformed into our temp hall, so there's absolutely no place 4 the kiddos 2 run. Actually they do run n scream in the temp hall *hee* Wah i really admire ladies like u n wenn, who can drive. Aiya, i think i really hopeless case liao. Every year renew license, its like throwing 20 bucks into sea 4 nothing.

Miss KC leh... y those 4 yrs passed so quickly?

Oh u gals remember theres this folk singing competition? I remembered my clas sang yellow bird then we had to all wear yellow T shirts. 1 talented classmate bought those nylon stockings n dyed them into funny colours. Wahhhh, still have the pix man!
 
Seiko, can't recall the folk singing but was involved in the SYF dance. Still have photos of it. Recall sewing sequences onto the nylon stockings & wear it on our head...haa.a...

Ai ya, me still quite lousy driver, my FH says I too cautious but my dad finds me too daring... different generations diff views...kekekee...
 
back from lunch liao...

my dad bought me an old car to bang around once i've gotten my license. initially a bit gabrah... but after a while, i got the hang of it... at that time was working in a chem lab at science park, so work from 7am to 4pm... a good time to speed & race on the ECP early in the morning
biggrin.gif


but now I tame down a lot oreadi,,, highest speed is only 100KM/h... no car liao, so only use my dad's car once in a while.... last time i scratched it abit,,, kenna lecture from parents for a few days man!!!
 
hi kittycat,

but my hubby will be busy till end of the year...have been "nagging" at him to get the actual day photographer settled but he keep brushing it aside.

think worst case scenario, i'll settle everything myself! but i know nuts about photography...think have to go with gut feelings now.

but am i being a bit too ks to book actual day photographer for my Dec 2003 wedding??
 
Hi piper,

No-no, you're not KS. Good photographers are snapped up very quickly! The earlier, the better!

My husband din view Choon Huat's portfolio too! He was busy so I made the decision myself!

lol.gif
 
Yo Jojok,

now that u mentioned sequins, i remember during sec 2 when i joined the art n craft club, the members were told to help out in the cutting n sewing of the costumes... Wow, KC not bad huh, using free labour fr ECA gps 2 finish their costumes *Hee*

Yo Wenn,

u know i how suay last time? When i finally plucker up courage to try driving ( donkey of years ago ), the whole journey on the road went smoothly. But while i was turning into the narrow driveway of my house, 1 of the gates suay suay scratched my dad's car..... no prizes 4 guessing
what happened next....

wahh i remember once i was on the expressway, i was happily stepping on the accelerator until the speed hit 120km/h... n i din realise ya know?
till i saw my dad clutching the side handles, screaming... Weiiii!!! Ooopps, methinks me not cut 4 driving ( on real roads )... better off playing ( those driving games )in the game arcades
*HEE*
 
<FONT COLOR="0000ff">Hi Cherubies,</FONT>
I’m finally back from my honeymoon!
bounce.gif
Was busie unpacking my luggages, arranging presents, wrapping them up and delivering them so I didn’t post msgs here till now.
biggrin.gif


The weather’s perfect over at Perth. No rainy days at all….. mostly at 24 degrees in the day and 15 degrees in the nite. It was windy though…..thus making the weather cooling and perfect for hubby and myself.
happy.gif
We had a wonderful time over there. I tried sandboarding too! The farm stay was more perfect than I thought! Our chalet faced a lake!

My wedding went on really well too! My ah yees had a great time extorting ang baos from my hubby and also all the sabos they did.
biggrin.gif
We then went to Punggol Marina &amp; Changi Airport for photo shooting that morning. Also had some morning drinks and snacks at Coffee Bean with all our helpers.

The tea ceremony was really fun as well…… we managed to get my bro &amp; sis to serve tea to us!
lame.gif


As for the wedding banquet. Grand Hyatt was really attentive to us. Helped us in all ways they could. Our guests loves the dinner, the more than sufficient serving and especially the dessert. (my favourite too!)
lame.gif
The video montage was also a hit among the guests.
happy.gif
They were also thrilled by the ballerinas dancing in for my first dish. My customised cake was very pretty.....more pink than i would like it to be. Was told we were the first Hyatt couple to use their chopsticks as wedding favours. It was nice tied with ribbons and our names on a card. My friends loved them!

All thanks to all our helpers and also Nick (photographer) &amp; Jimmy (videographer) for doing a great job in helping us complete all the table to table photoshoots of the 63 tables. (we had 2 reserves which were not used!) Nick shot a total of 18 rolls of film
uhoh.gif
Daniel (our MC) did a great job too! He was really helpful and professional.

So glad everything went well that day.
happy.gif


Will try to go through the postings asap.
happy.gif


Will go back to work tomolo.
sad.gif
No mood to work. *SiGH*
 
morning gals!
