I tot most bridal does not include actual day photography wor.. which bridal u signed up and how much is it? Both of Magical and u are counting down to your auspicious dates .. ho ho.. so nice.

Hi sweet,
I don't think i can wait for Angeline liao.. she just came back from leave today. She can only provide me the quote by next wed and another ID is offering me 18% discount and must confirmed by this weekend.. so sad..
 
yes diaodu... its been so long since i last step into a children plygnd..imagine two 27yrs old over-age children hving so much fun at the plygnd tat we caught the attn of Goodview old folks there...
biggrin.gif


my bridal package is frm french bridal...signed up in feb during the wedding bridal show at marina sq...didnt do my research at tat time..signed up with them as the sales gal make us feel very comfortable loh...plus the package quite comprehensive...i make them throw in my ROM dress for me...*wink*

my package is $3388... .. usually most bridal packages included de`.. yrs dun hv mah? how much u paid in all & how many dress (WG/EG/kua??) u hv?
 
haha.. i havent been to playground for ages too. cannot imagine how both of u look like.. keke
One of my best friends use French Bridal.. too..
happy.gif


I paid S$3,188 for my package.

they threw in ROM dress, Kua, tea dress too... + 3 jacket suits for our fathers and brothers.
1 EG and 1 WG (one OTR and One MTM)

32 photos (12X15) in albums
100 free give away photos (bookmark style)
1 portrait (20X24")
1 table top
Mini album (5X7) album - 20 pieces
Take back selected photos in CD format

I went to silver lining and The wedding present, both packages cost almost S$5K and without actual day photography and they only have 20 to 24 photos in album.. if develop more photos, will cost up to S$ 7 to 8K.

I like these 3 shops very much but to save cost, chose X-Zen.

For yr actual day photography, how many given photos and how many hours?
 
my dear gal, i tink i reali da sotong leh... i mis-read yr posting..i tot u meant the outdoor location shots... haha... okie...clarfication..mine doesnt include actual day photography...BUT they throw in for me their services FOC..jus need to pay for the no. of rolls of films tat we used tat day..as for the no. of hrs...i tink its morning and at nite ah.. (should tink so)'

yr package quite comprehensive wat...covers the very basic...good.. hey, yr WG MTM must return one or can keep? mine must return leh
sad.gif
i heard frm my gf tat her fren one can keep loh..
 
hello everybody!
yeah 43 days more...sigh...
now very tired..preparing for mid yr exams...when all my papers come in then jia lat liao...

now realised all the IDs quote almost the same price 1..of course those super ex 1...i dont even look at their quote anymore..hehe..

diaodu,
wah she give 18% discount! so good! is your place on the high end pricing 1? i only got a measly 400 bucks off ... maybe coz mine 4 rm flat...sigh..
 
hahah.. now i know why u always say u big sotong... if i sign up another separate package for the actual day photography.. they charge me S$800 for 10hours (day + night) and give 300 photos.. dont' know this is better or by roll of films.. it's almost like 8 rolls of flims.. don't know enough cos my soleminisation is on same day too.. keke

Hi magical,

Wow.. u really countdown everyday.... hee..

Me got 15% discounts cos they having exhibition now and Chin Ming got additional 3%..
happy.gif
 
sailormoon,

mine cannot keep.. but if top up, think can keep...
happy.gif


it's true some bridal packages include keeping of gowns but provided u pay more ..
happy.gif
 
:p yah .. gotta control tis sotong-ness in me before it gets out of hand ...

mmm....some bridal packages (which abt same price as those as us) can get to keep their MTM EG wor ... anyway, it doesnt matter to me liao.. so long the PS pix looks good can liao... *wink*
as for the actual day photography..if i wan to engage the bridal one, it wont be the same as i used for my photo shots one...so i duno whether the skills is good or not... :P

u may wanna check out the threads at the other forum in spore brides under photography/videography for more info...
happy.gif
 
hi!
actually my EG is i bought myself 1...coz i couldn't find anything i like in my BS, so i bought online..heheh.. n so cheap loh.. it was less than USD100..think abt USD 98... n my BS gave me 2 photos in exchange for my EG, so basically i only paid extra 80 bucks for my BS to alter my EG for me..although spend extra 80 bucks, but at least i wont have to choose something i dont like..

hi diaodu!
now got exhibition ah?

Hi gals,

in case anyone interested in taking up loan fr Hitachi Credit, i juz found out tat its int is based on original principal for all the repayment periods. Meaning: if u borrow $30k to be repaid over 5yrs, and int is at 4.5% pa, no matter how long u have repaid, int is still charged at 4.5% on 30k (will not reduced).

so based on my computation, the REAL interest rate is 8% p.a for $30k loan, repayable over 5yrs.

so ex!!!!
sad.gif
gotta look for alternative source of financing liao
 
Hi all,

Winnie: wa.. every bank is reali ex.. seems like all the bank's interest rate about the same leh... sian.. =(

thanks for the info though.. your spreadsheet is reali useful.. and idiot-proof.. just key in amount can le.. heehee.. =D
 
hi magical

hey hey, u got any wedding pics to share with us..? haha me want to have a look at ur pics leh....i once saw ur blue evening gown that u bought online....
happy.gif
 
hi sweet n vonz!
erm..i tried changing my setting for viewing photos..but i realised i don't know how to..heheh...so only contacts can view..i don't have the soft copies uploaded anywhere leh.. so sorry..

but u can sign up for free acc at www.multiply.com then can add me?

winnie,
oh u mean the other banks charge 8% is not based on principal ah? the 4.5% i calculate 4.5% on principal, then times the no. of years, then add the whole amt onto the principal and then divide by total no. of months to get monthly repayment..

my ID is fionazs
 
magical: for banks, every mth u make the same payment. but the proportion tat goes towards int will decrease overtime cos int= rate x OUTSTANDING principal. so more and more of ur payment will go towards repaying principal amt overtime :>

btw, mi and FH signed with A & D for our reno. total $30k *arghhh*
 
hi winnie!
oh i se..okay...didn't know that the interest goes towards outstanding principal..i've been calculating it the way i calculate for car loans..which is how hitachi credit calculates theirs, right?
tsk tsk..so confusing! thanks for the clarification..=D

hi iceblue!
u're here too? =) actually should ask the rest to come in as well..heheh..
