diaodu: u toking bout the pole for clothes hanging? aluminium ones?

sailormoon: wahhhhh cook so much things? :p never jio for food tasting. hehe. so yong gan... actually fried things. i haven't fried anything in my kitchen. worried bout the oil and cleaning up. haha. only cook eggs, hotdog, instant mee, and spagetti in kitchen b4.

the package with sheraton is 2 nites stay. then i asked for extra perks:

- increase complimentary parking to 40%
- free use of projector
- increase food tasting to 10 pax
- free use of day rm for helpers (subject to availability)

keke.. nah, i jus want to tease you only, moreover i like tortoise jus that i dun like to keep pets. I used to draw my "trademark" tortoise on every cover of my lecture notes. =)

But momo is cute indeed, differnt from the hideous "long-necked" tortoise my boss kept here! Got chance i take pic post here...
 
winnie,

the other time i busy admiring your house, where got time to remember the racks!? I remember your nice nice toilet and shoe cabinet nia! keke..

Hmm.. basically we have the same package, jus that i cannot remember got how much wine I got. hee..
the promo that time is 1 free table for weekday package.

You gng "ala carte" ah? you only need the gown only?
 
haha.... momocharz ... u draw tortoise on your lecture notes? oh my ... bet u must hv drew alot in yr entire poly yrs ah?

nvrtheless momo is a cute name lah! ( ^ __ ^ )

winnie: aiyo! cant jio for food tasting lah.. cos my kitchen super messy while dipping those prawns into the tempura flour after coating with eggs yolk... if u all come here...tink i will be SUPER gan cheong spider liao!!! wait till i master my skills first or else i cook first, clean up nicely liao..then u all come okie...
happy.gif


well...yr package seems comprehensive enough...mine oso somehow like yrs leh.... yrs is smoke machine or dry ice for march-in ah?

Ladies ! i need ideas where to go for PS and what props to bring along for PS....can help me?
happy.gif
 
Pai Seh Momocharz, I didn't realize I call you Momo until you told me. haha.. no lah.. i never associate you with it.. My Momo is cuter..haha (just kidding)

Momo is W's tortoise but now it's slowly transiting to be my pet.

Yes, the cleaning up is reallly very Xiong... I am still deciding if i should cook during weekday.. I tried it last week and by the time we finished everything, it's already 9. Then no time to do other house work. hmm.. I think reserve cooking session for weekends... haha..
 
yah loh, Diaodu.. we cleaned by everyting last nite oredi 12.30am liao .... tink we started cooking late lah...plus first timer mah...so kinda blur & gan cheong loh... somemore today is monday leh ... slept quite late last nite...today feeling so sleepy at work...

agree with Diaodu tat cooking only meant for sat...... sun do cooking very xiong ah!

happy.gif
 
ask u all hor - is it strange if i dun make those nice nice wedding albums? cos we going ala carte... so will not take wedding package fr BS. i am thinking of doing photoshoot, then DIY album.

those nice nice albums r ex + based on my sis' experience, the album will end up in the storerm. haha. so like not worth it.

momocharz: how many pots and pans u wanna buy? :p mi bought 1 set fr metro - 2 pots, 2 frying pan + 1 wokpan. then come free knives and chopping board. quite cheap only i think.
 
paiseh...was in the meeting in the morning .. back at my workstn!

hor....i bgt one whole set frm Tefal at Taka last yr Dec during their Taka private sales... inside got 2 pots (one big/one small) and 2 pans.. (two different sizes...one with depth..one more like non-stick frying pan) ...
 
winnie... those albums tat u wanna DIY ... r those tat u do on stick-on albums mah? will the photos turn colour easily or not?

actually if u wanna do ala carte .. u will get yr own PG to do pre-wed photo shot...may add up to quite abit leh .. why dun consider take a package with a BS of yr desired choice?
 
coz i tot of waiting to see if friends give vouchers during house-warming! :p

So i want to see roughly how many I should get first to cook the first meal for the symbolic shift-in loh...

Winnie, we sort of agreed not to add in more photos. We gave ourselves a budget and tell ourselves cannot exceed that for photos-topping. Will ask a couple friend to go along when choosing photos and ask them to help in the elimination! That's wht we did for them, they do first round of choosing, we do 2nd and cut down significantly!
 
wow ! someone wanna cook for symbolic shift wor!!!

when is yr symbolic shift? got a date le mah?

well...why not be like me...do steamboat .. then u dun hv to worry and vexed over the cleaning up after tat...moreover, no need much cooking or pots yet...jus steamboat, chopping board and knife to prepare the ingredients..

somemore eat steamboat can signify yi jia tuan yuan mah...
 
don't think i wan get a wedding package as the gowns tat i wanna get r fr different BS. hehe. then HB wan to tailor his suit. then we have sources for MUA. so left photographer only.

sailormoon: i dun intend to do stick-on kind. wan to buy those black binders fr bkstore and then paste them etc. or should i juz buy those pocket albums to put the pics can liao? cos i dun wan do studio shoots at all. i only like outdoor pics.
 
wah...u mean u had gowns frm different BS all over the place? e.g. WG frm BS A... then EG frm BS B ah?!?

if tats wat u wan..mayb u can go to Prints to look around for photo albums...they hv quite nice & pretty photo albums there....

happy.gif
 
ya, i wan to get gowns fr diff BS.

will guests at the wedding dinner expect to see the photos? if no album, will it be weird?
 
heeheehee... i jus called the master to tell him i wan a date nia, i told him anytime this month, before CNY. So he will check and call me back again.

I tot it's a must to cook for the shift in loh, that's why i asked what need to buy first. I dun want to carry big bags small bags on the shift-in date itself!
 
think nowadays it's like a "norm" to expect to see the album at the reception. But if you dun have also doesn't matter de mah. I've attended one where they dun have the album too, but that is because the BS was not able to rush out the album in time. Ppl jus stood around to chit chat, nobody find it weird leh.

Get gowns from different BS will it be more ex?
 
Actually Winnie, so long as you are comfortable. You just do whatever you like and don't fear what pple say. My colleague held her customary wedding but she didn't take any wedding photos. She just didn't think it's necessary.

For me, I can be particular about certains things but at the same time, very bo chup..haha. I didn't an chuan and already start sleeping..hehe

Also, My bf will pick me up from our new house instead of my mum's house.. that's really going against the custom/tradition. But everybody is comfortable so we didn't really mind.

momocharz, I had vouchers from CK Tang. Waited till Dec 26, 2006, where they had mass discount from 20 to 70%. I bought a Meyson wok.
A set from Tefal that costs S$148. Inside there are 1 small pot, two frying pans. (one deep & one shallow). Free gift is a medium pot. On top of this, I bought a big Tanyu pot. It's good for cooking soups.. braised food..
happy.gif


Quite happy with the purchase. But still thinking of buying another Tanyu claypot.. hee...
 
winnie : i agree with the two ladies here..so long u & yr hb is comfortable and likes the idea...jus do it...afterall its yr wedding mah! but jus to caution on the cost when u do ala carte...whether if its more worthwhile to choose all gowns frm one BS cos sometimes tat leaves u more bargaining power u see... *wink wink*

momocharz: i see .... then in tat case, u hv to plan wat u wanna cook wor.... cos it will be the 1st time u gonna cook at new house..somemore for own immediate families i believe...so to me, i feel steamboat will save lotsa of troubles & embrassement as well (if i become gan cheong spider in the kitchen)
rofl.gif


Diaodu: i tink we hv the same Tefal set leh...cos wat u describe here is wat we bgt oso.... the free gift is the medium pot...
but wat is a Tanyu pot? u mean those slow-cooker?

i alwys hv a dream to own a claypot .... wanna cooked hot steaming claypot rice or some nice chap chye with yam inside.... yummy!! :p~~

looks like our dear Diaodu has fully equipped herself with all the necessary kitchen stuffs... ready to whip up some nice dishes for Warren & momo? kekeke
happy.gif
 
her momo eat raw vege nia, the MoMo downstairs can help to eat her COOKED food... hehe...

Master called me jus now! Finally i have my shift in date!!! Haven't decide which day though, need to discuss first.

Think i miss the chance to buy the pots and pans at a good deal... =(
 
Congratulations. Momocharz.
Must quickly join me..haha..

Don't worry lah.. Robinsons got sales every now and then. Just hint your friend to buy you Robinsons Voucher.

Winnie, yes, it's alminium poles.
 
Tefal got a few different series leh, which is what ah?

keke.. ok, so from now onwards i will include the words "Robinsons" and "vouchers" whenever i tok to ppl to pollute their minds! hohoho....
 
dun need to hint one.. can juz ask for it directly. haha

wat we did was we tell ppl coming for our housewarming parties tat if they wan to give us gifts, juz give Best vouchers. :p *think we buai pai seh*

diaodu: haiz... we already bought the bamboo poles. 4 red colour one.
 
Oh no.. i threw away my Tefal box liao..
I check the label got or not then tell you...
So long it's Tefal, non-stick, then can liao.. for me..that's why i also any how choose. Happened they had the set that time.

Hey, winnie, I also bought 4 red bamboo poles..last month haha.

kao_confused2.gif
 
Hellooo~~~

finally got new posting.. hee..

How come you didn't ask contractors to install for you when they still there doing work leh? Very stress leh, if drill wrongly and spoil the tile, very gek sim... Lucky everything ok, next week stress one more time... hehehe...

In the end we didn't buy the tefal set, decided to get a normal 555 pot first for the shift-in, also bought a Tefal wok on discount $39.90. The set we wait till got promo then buy since not urgent.
My shift-in is on next sat, 27 Jan! hee! Getting excited again, like suddenly lots of little little things to buy! But that also means spending spending again... We bought the small bee-tang le!

Yah hor, diaodu left 5 more days only! Anything you need us to help? My friend also getting married that day, else can go over see you "married off"... keke..
 
Hello folks,

I am dying also. Fri my colleagues came over. Sat, Brothers and Sisters, family came. about 20 plus people. We cooked and whole house was in a mess. Yesterday at home, I vacuumed, mopped. Washed 2 toilets, cook lunch/dinner, clean windows. At night, discuss wedding plan. Really like a housewife.. Difficult life..haha.

Congrat, Sailormoon! Finally your house is near compeltion. Can feel your excitment. .. I think I am stressed over my new marriage life and wedding.. cannot feel the excitment yet.. maybe 1 day before I will be excited ba..

Momocharz, think u buy the pots in June ba.. get can better sales. If includes the free pot, I think the S$149 set is worth S$200 instead. Make your value worthwhile since you have not moved in. I moved in on Dec 9. Had managed to endure till Dec 26, CK Tangs sales.

Maybe we do it in March ba? :p
 
wah Diaodu .... so near yr wedding day and u hv so many guests dropping by...can imagine the AMOUNT of housework u hv to do after tat plus the wedding preparation and small details to look into...sure to shack u out one ... starting frm tonite, if u can...better go to bed by 10pm okie... then at least u will be looking radiant & pretty tis coming wkend...not with the eye bags ... oh yes, u can do some DIY masks at home as well
happy.gif


housework sure alot to do especially so when we r new home owners...taking pride in our house and wanna ensure everyting looks good and smells good... i was grumbling to SK tat we every wkend do housework and didnt hv time to enjoy the new house...

its like for every 5 hrs of housework we do...equals to 1 hr of enjoyment in the new house..

pathetic ah :p

Momocharz.... yah...tat time when we r oredi super stress rushing for xmas...we tot to skip the bedrm toilet accessories first...so didnt scout for those last mth loh.... nw hv to be endure all the dusts agn for MSB Rm Toilet *sigh*

Well...in tat case we do it first weekend in March hao bu hao?

Sailormoon then you didn't get anything for yourself ah? He always says, you women last min shopping never able to buy the things you intended one, end up getting something different, waste money only! hee.. hmm.. seems true in some sense! :p

yah, went up last night to meet the storage rack guy diaodu recommended, but when i check your lights off leh, so i think it's the worker lah. I reached around 1915 hrs.

Hello Evon, welcome welcome!

sad.gif
 
hee.. you contradict yourself! like the dress buy! hahaha.. for us quite difficult now hor, got to consider so many things before deciding to spend that money or not...

yup, we decided to get the racks from him, we didn't get other quotations, if diaodu says he's cheapest, he must be cheapest! kekeke...

a cabinet display for bears!? gosh! you are a bear collector! interesting, must go and see!

when he coming again to do? can understand your disappointment loh, like my kitchen tile, chip 1 tile only ask to change, but chipped 2 others when changing! Ok, fine, we luan4, but aft gng thru the effort to find more similar tiles to replace, damaged another tile again!!! argh...!!!

Finally yesterday night then no more chipped tile! Finally i can start cleaning my kitchen...
Finally i can order my electricals....
Finally i can change lock! Yeah yeah yeah!
 
wah piang ooi...my dear lady...nw ah..sailormoon spend wat oso must tink THRICE leh... tats why i was hesitant whether i should buy or not ...
sad.gif


not easy to start a family of our own ... everyting kia gar gee ... zia gar gee ...

oh yes! i tot i got tell u all before? i collect bears bears one...got around 120+ and the figures r still growing!!!

TRUE TRUE...tat time i oso mah..changed one SMALL cracked tile at skirting near to windows at LV RM...end up during the process of hacking, they damaged two BIG pcs of tiles... was hving cold sweat while they change man cos i scared they damaged more wor~~~

woh~~~~ yr house is getting all ready for the official shift very soon ah.... i can see u r getting very excited!!! haha
 
hahaha... not so serious lah, your reno overall still cheaper than us leh...

you know those little little misc things for the house add up to quite an amount! I'm still buying containers, kitchen items, bathroom essentials etc etc... my shopping at Orchard turned to auntie shopping at NTUC, Giant, Seng Siong... haiz...

A bit excited, yah yah... next weekend i will stay over! first time hehe...
 
yah, u bet ... those small small things tat we buy for the house oso eat into the reno budget...sometimes u buy abit of tings only but when the cashier amount shows $100+ wah.... u wonder wat did u actually throw inside the shopping cart!

wow!!!!! finally~~ yr official shift!! rem to take lotsa of photos ah.... take video of the whole process as well!

What have you gals been doing weekly in the house besides cleaning up??
 
Ohaiyo Ladies!!
