Sailormoon, sat what time and where? I'm working this sat.... =(
 
Thanks Sailormoon for organizing.

so far only two couples? How about momocharz?

this sat, i need to go natas fair and print wedding cards. don't know can make it or not. Mon got a test..alamak..

what time u all meeting? can i confirm on fri?
 
dun worry Momocharz... i oso working tis sat... we go after work loh....around 2pm.. hey, hv u bought yr electrical appliances? wanna go Audio house to see see look look after tat?
happy.gif
 
Harlow Goodview folks!

how was everyone wkend? bet u guys were busying running around with yr own stuffs ah...
momocharz: how is yr ROM preparation getting along?

oh yes...i had postponed the curtain viewing to end OCt as most of us would only need them by end Oct...no hurry mah...so i will let u guys noe when i had firmed up on the date...

Jus to share tat i had been doing research for the past 3 wkends to scout around for electrical appliances...of cos we went to places like Best Denki & Harvey Norman to see look see look for models & hv a feel of the actual product (window shopping) we had noted down those model nos & went to places like Gain City & Audio House...

Initially i tot Gain City & Audio house r relatively cheaper liao...infact Audio house is realli cheap (around $100 - $ 120 cheaper) but later on, i read the forum here recommending the shop DAV Electronics at Lor Kilat... its exactly opp my house (Toh Yi Drive) ... so near my house so i decided to drop by today & recee the place...

oh my god!! the prices there r REALLY CHEAP & the sales guy, Vince is reali helpful & knowledge loh...furthermore he very shuang kuai...cos he noe we hv been doing our homework so he ask how much was the price offered to us...if he can match better...he will sell..if not , he will let go of the price.. really no gimmicks or anyting...

prices r really cheap...taking for example a SAMSUNG Silver Nano Fridge...( i didnt compare $$ with Best Denki shops...) Gain City selling at $899 ... Audio house selling at $769 ... Guess wat DAV Electronics is selling .. $ 679 ..
they sell EVERYING loh...frm vacumn cleaner...to standing tower fan...to TV...to washing machine...to Home Theatre System...to Oven... anyting u name .. they hv...

they r more like dealer & they r defintely selling their products to us at dealer price..Don't call them for quotation, directly go to them cos they only quote you their best price at there....but one ting is they dun hv the luxury of space so they can display all of the items... i would suggest tat u guys go round recee those items u like...note down the model no. & drop by DAV Electronics to take a look .. & if u guys r getting most of yr items frm tis chap...can bargain for a better package discount loh!

There is a thread on this DAV... can go read up on tis..
happy.gif
There r a few more shops in this thread.. Sweetson lah...minseng lah... some got good & bad comments on each ... but noting lousy has been said so far abt DAV...i hvnt confirm wat i wan but we most likely will get frm DAV...unless my hb wans to go round Spore & go to Sweetson & Minseng to check out the prices ...


http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/messages/409/410108.html?1145946402

Diaodu: i dun tink we hv to wait till end of the yr for xmas sale..cos i believe wat u get till then....u maybe able to get it at DAV oso... moreover, dun forget tat end of the yr alot of pple will buy new electrical items during festive season so might hv the tendency of running out of stock...my advice is better chop now!
happy.gif
 
Hi Sailormoon,

Thanks for your intensive research! I think you are more hardworking than me.. you slept so late last night ah? haha..wow.. Dav really good huh then I must go take a look but i really no time lately.. hee..

My bf wants to buy in Dec leh.. I have been asking for a small fan at S$69 only and he said wait till year end..haha..

I think I will miss the curtain meeting date again. My exams on Oct 30, 31 and Nov 3. So siasn..
sad.gif
But after than I will be a soaring dragon cos I graudated liao..hee..
 
yup! u should drop by & take a look ...reali worth the trip...plus if u r buying alot of stuffs, u may even get them to throw in someting free (e.g. tower fan, toaster...etc)

no worries....i will notify u guys agn when i firm up the date & u can alwys let me noe when r ready to view e`curtains maker place okie!

Hello!

Thanks sailormoon! =)
ROM jus over, very blur that day.. haha... We tot ROM only, jus a simple event, so didn't really pay attention to details. Lucky got "experience" friends to help out, bf also running here and there for coordination. I feel so weird and "eng" jus standing there waiting for the ceremony to start... hahaha...

Then friends complained we walked super fast, signed super fast, kissed super fast! They can't keep up to take pics! :p kekeke... nobody stopped us what...

now got to do one last thing, find bridal shop! so tiring to read and shop and bargain!

HDB changing our toilet tiles this week, hope everything swee swee after that!
 
Hello Momocharz,

Congratulations! Now become Mrs MoCharzCharz liao..hee hee..

Oh yeah! I agree bridal shop is really difficult to source.. it is something very subjective.. if you can spend the $$, can try The wedding present but they are really expensive but very nice and professional. I didn't use them cos no $$$. haha..

Good luck!
 
Yes, my AD is on Jan 20, 07.
My house is finally ready liao.. hoho..
last sat my platform bed came.. so happy!

i cleaned the house thoroughly... and my family came last Sunday. But they didn't really like my house cos a lot of dark woods. :p But my bf loves the house..

We have not bought fridge, WM, TV yet.. hope to get them soon..

I am preparing my exams one more week from now.. hope to settle everything then be a happi bride..
 
Ohaiyo Ladies!!!

momocharz!! congrats & welcome to the Mrs Ladies Club @ Goodview Gardens ...
biggrin.gif

i tink u must be not used to being teased as Mrs Mocharzcharz!!! hahahahaha~ i oso leh...until now i still not used to call my hb "husband" infront of my colleagues & frens...still prefer to address him as SK..
happy.gif


u both must be feeling very shy & excited tats why everyting do chop chop...got take many photos mah...must share with us when its ready okie!!!

well, take yr time to look around for wedding bridal boutiques ... u can drop by the thread for more suggestions/views on which are the better boutiques... of cos some of the better ones like Ted Wu costs alot more...if i hv the $$, i will love to hv Ted Wu or Vera Wang gowns...their gowns, especially Vera Wang...so princess-like one....
happy.gif
it depends on where u wanna place yr priorties on loh... for me, i place more on photography so will spend abit more of engaging a good photographer to capture those moments during our wedding day as these moments are only once in a lifetime...unlike studio shots...can re-shot if dun like....

Diaodu....so happy for u tat yr house is ready! cant wait to view yr love nest...after so much hard work put in....finally....everyting is done & u r ready to begin yr nxt stage of life!

well...u dun get too stress up okie! drink PLENTY of water...the haze is reali making everyone sick.... hang on there... the week will pass by very soon! good luck!

Hi Sailormoon,

It's always happy to see your note. Cos you always sound so inspiring and encouraging. :p

We are not sure when to move in yet.. but I know Oct 26 is the auspicious day set by my FMIL. I told my bf to handle liao cos i don't really believe in this and it falls on my exams' period.

Btw, last fri i was at my house, I looked up to your place and saw the windows were not closed. It was kept in same position till Sunday... Did u do it purposely or unintentionally?

Warren is just like SK. Always go to the site to check. hee.. for me, i hardly go there during renvotion.. got nothing to see and i don't know anything..keke..

Momocharz, HDB tiles no stock? why u order tiles from them? Not from outside supplier meh?

So hor, i respect and pei fu those who still carry on studying like my bf & MRS DIAODU!

Hi all gorgeous gdview jie mei!
happy.gif


i definitely enjoyed myself very much and also miss london very much now. london is diff cos i stayed in an apt there for 5 wks... so it's almost like home
happy.gif
really love it there.

also, miss my hubby (he miss mi too of cos :p). he joined mi in barcelona and paris... so not too bad - like early honeymoon. hehe.

will share my album with u all when it's ready :>

anyway, update on my home - we juz do the handover last nite. everything is done liao, except the household shelter (which we decide to ask someone else to do for us). so will be doing the h/h shelter within 2 wks cos furnitures are arriving on oct 28.

mi wan buy electrical appliances too... but feel so broke. haiz..............
 
Momocharz, my FMIL consulted fortune teller..
happy.gif


Sailormoon, what i meant early is since ur house is undergoing renovation, where are u going to put the stuff when they arrive? u like F & P? last week, they got 60% discount.. we not familar with this brand so never go..

Congratulations, Winnie, u handover over last night already. We are still fixing our bed room and bomb shelter defects, until these are settled, we cannot hand over.
 
diaodu ... we ask them to deliver on 2nd Dec which is near to our "offical" move in date (096 Dec 06) .. if by 2nd Dec, our reno still not done & house not clean up, i will hv to mobilize my Goodview Jiemeis liao... HOR!!!
biggrin.gif
 
Oic.. that's good, at least they can accommodate to your schedule..

I just called Dav to enquire about price of the TV i want. It dropped $100 again. Daniel who served me confirmed price will drop further in Dec. so i think we will buy around Dec.. since we won't be moving in so early.
Thanks for this contact.
 
Thanks Momocharz,

Not lah.. not Ban1Jia1..keke... It's the date my FMIL set for us to "Kuo4 Huo3 Lu2"

My bf will take on this mission and I use study as an excuse to stay at home..hoho..

According to her, after we completed this, we can move in anytime wor..hee
 
check with u gals here hor...anyone has any idea how to clean dirty grouting? i having headache with my floor...tiles are very clean n shiny...but the grouting become black black liao...
