i am hoping to go check out silhouette sometime next week. i think their gowns also look very nice. haven't seen a "to die for" gown yet.
and yes, believe it, i am sadly bah-bah now....sometimes try gown, cannot zip up. very sad...i am trying desperately to loose weight now...
thanks for the advice on the bridesmaid's dresses.
<font color="0077aa">pitterpatter</font>
yup, i agree my friend is really really lucky. but you may be too! good luck!!

i went and looked at the yearbook yesterday. and sad to say, i don't know many 4/1 girls. maybe we really didn't know each other back then? never mind, we make new friends here!
ECA ah...i was in LDDS....

ted wu was ok. really like the detailing and embroidery. but find the gowns more stiff. divine is more flowy and feminine. can i have the divine gown with ted wu details?
i tried about 3 or 4 gowns...don't remember exactly. but the package is definitely more ex than divine....

blush ah, paiseh leh i hvnt gotten back 2 u abt the email yet - will reply u in a bit about the class reunion
yes yes do check out silhouette!!! my designer is miah who's an extremely sweet and patient guy! the other 2 designers are just as nice... but hey just so u know, ted wu having a bridal show at four seasons (3 Oct) while silhouette having a bridal show at grand corpthorne (10 Oct)... i've signed up for the silhouette one... so can see more designs mah!

hi girls,
blush~ hehe, yeah ted wu's embroidery very nice hor? i also loved it!
did you try asking them whr it's possibly to have more flowy (organza) gowns? am sure it's possibly to have flowy gowns w ted's detailings. hehe.
starstar~ hello!
you have a sword party ah? quite interesting!
i also attended 1 wedding w sword party before. which BS are u with?
pheb~ *hugs* don't angry don't angry kae? wait not mei mei already.
*sayang* i think ur mom's prob v v v excited you are getting married... so she's also v confused.
can u get her colleague's names, print out the cards anyway and give it to her? so that you wld have done ur part, so it's up to her to see whr she wants to send out and get rsvp accordingly.

starstar: alamak of cos i remember lah! there's only one 'starstar' in ncc mah... hahaa...wow a military wedding sounds a whole lot of fun!!! havent been to a military wedding myself, but have seen pictures of it and it looks so grand (during the walk-in) yet fun (during the sabo!! hahaa)
did u meet ur FH in the airforce as well - is he a military man too?? ;p
bebe: yeah!!! miah is sweet!!! actually the main reason why i signed up wif silhouette is becos he's so sweet and patient and i can click with him! actually thru this BS shopping period i realised there are so many designers who are so creative and so good - it boils down to what style we like and which designer we can click with!
i've seen lotsa great designs in the J&C collection as well (in the brides magazines), so im sure u're in great hands too!
pheb: *hugs hugs* i think ur mom prob doesnt realise how much her indecision is frustrating u!!!! so like u said, be firm with ur mom, tell her ur problem and give her a deadline.... mebbe tell her if she doesnt let u know by today whether she's going to invite her colleagues, u're just going to go ahead.... dun stress urself up!!! smile girl!

bebe: opps, u know after i posted the last msg, i realised that u ALREADY have ur gowns done since u're the first amongst us to get married... hehee... *blur me* so let me correct that statement... im sure ur gown design HAS ALREADY turned out superb!!! hehee... hey btw a random thought and qtn for u... are u going for a tiara or flowers in the hair as a headpiece?
dear oraia and rokko

oh ya gals... just in case u guys dun mind going to Batam... the waterfront city in Batam got a good spa... Batam is very BIG... so dun get mix up wif those places the men frequent wif the whole of Batam... (I'm sure u read articles abt those 'second' wife)
anyway, this spa is one of the international spas.. was featured in the spa mag bef.. n it's real cheap.... (trust me, I went there n i'm going again)
I went over on a weekend, n the spa itself minus accom n ferry tics... cost sing $325(inclu taxes) for two pax!! the total treatment is 3 hours long!!!! n this price is one of the more ex packages... it's really worth it... the spa's located within Holiday Inn Batam... accom is abt $130 per night. If anyone's a AAS member, it'll cost $120... I'm going there in mid oct... looking forward to the trip... the ferry's only 40 mins n cost $23 each pax...

hi girls! monday's almost over! so fast so fast
rokko...i so agree with you!!! my standard answer to "how's your weekend" monday morning question is "it's too short!"
hee...i'm doing fine...jus "screamed" at my mum last nite abt her colleagues issue...can you believe it...it wasn't settled till just now! this morning she said sorry...hehehe...i'm ok actually just that i can't believe my parents rushed me for the invites and they have like 50 more they haven't sent out cos they want to hand deliver...i'm almost going bonkers cos it's like 19 days away...
girls...if you need advice...hehehe...i think i can tell you how to avoid some pitfalls...
yeah...bebe...it's not gonna be a perfect wedding cos we all aren't perfect...but i dun get it...people have been telling me wedding preps is fun...i just can't wait for it to be over! there's so much wayang...aargh!!!
rokko...my next difficult task is to dig out how much my mum has in mind for the pin jin...she tells me i'm priceless *help* that doesn't quite help me tell my PIL how much they should prepare isn't it? too little she'll think i'm not appreciated, too much my PILs think my parents are selling daughter...to be stuck in this kind of situation...the feeling is indescribable! anyone has any idea? help!!!
oraia...ya...you ate too much mooncake is it? or yakked too much drink plenty of water k?
natas...question...why do we have to pay to go in and buy holiday packages? doesn't quite make sense to me...
starstar...must share with us how your spa retreat went k? maybe i'll try to sneak away during the deepavali and hari raya week...hmmm...mebbe the whole of singapore also thinking of doing that

i nv eat too much mooncake leh!!! i only ate half a mini bing-pi one leh!
hey if any of u are thinking of sneaking away during the deepavali/ hari raya long wkend, better book EARLY!!!when i tried to bk 3 wks before national day weekend, *everything* was sold out!!!
oraia...actually...mebbe it's a good idea to get your parents started in october...get them to firm up their list and if they really need to hand-deliver, have them understand that anything less than 3 weeks notice is not so nice...wait pple think they on reserved list one
as for pin jin, i've asked my mum a series of questions...three digit enuf? to which she gave me a "you gotta be kidding" no, four digit...is 5k and above too much...she said yes (but knowing her...who doesn't mind more)...between 1-2.5k...still too low...so must be between 2.5 and 5 at least...but FIL say must avoid 4k region cos got the number 4 *faint* i told hubby to come up with two sets of auspicious sounding numbers which is just a couple of hundreds apart...one for PIL to give and the other the logical amount for my parents to return...i tell you this is so wayang!!! aargh!!!
anyway, i'm sure my mum will change her mind all too soon...thanks oraia...think 2888 sounds like a good number...anybody any suggestions? i'm listening!

think 2888 is good!!! sound like in catonese... ni fa fa fa (u getting more n more $$$) haha... think both sides should be happy wif it...
gee... come to think of it, I dun know if I'm more "fortunate" cos my parents not asking for any ping jin... they told my PIL "chim chay lah" BUT they ask for 20 tables fr my FH... (I think the actual turn out is going to be less than that lor...) that means these 20 tables hong bao is not ours!!! my parents will keep... hmmm...

morning girls!
pheb! heee ya... am gg to target to get invites ready for writing by mid oct!! i've got alot of problematic relatives.. so i hope evthg will be sorted out early!!
heeee.. u very cute leh!!!!!!!! like playing cluedo like that, got series of questions one hahahaha. *faints* if it's betw. 2.5 -5k, then either 2888 or or 3188 or 3888 lor. both fit ur mum's answers heeee, and also ur FIL's no-4k region...
starstar~20 tables just for ur parents' side ah? so how many tables u have in total??

morning everyone!
oraia...how's ur throat feeling today? must rem to drink loads of water...weather v hot!!!
hmmm...good to start early on those invites...must pyscho your parents to get into the mood of speaking to those relatives they not so fond of...i know what you mean abt problematic relatives...my MIL jus conveniently left out those she doesn't like
starstar...ya...2888 sounds good...mebbe like what oraia suggested...3888 then mum has choice to return 3188 or 2888
lucky you! so you dun have to go through the GDL rite? mine is also a very simplified one with the PJ being the main focus...no pig trotter or alcohol...just $$ to be in lieu of...this PJ thing...it's just a face thing i suspect...so that when people ask, then my mum has a nice amount to tell...
wah 20 tables from FH ah! that's quite a fortune
for us, we're paying for banquet ourselves, both sets of parents have agreed to let us have all the ang pows. i think one of the reasons for the guest list problem i have with my parents is cos we did not want to restrict our parents the number of tables they wanted. we gave them the freedom to invite whoever they wanted...bad idea
rokko, blush, blueberry gal, did you attend the last fullerton show? would like to ask you if you remember which of the two new stage set-ups is nicer...the romantic diamond (with organza or cancan set up to be a gazebo) or evita? t.i.a.
