Oh yes, that one have to buy ah. Don't buy then they don't release the house to u. But u have to see how long more of coverage the previous owner have remaining (if they have bought one)and u can just top it up to make it a full year of coverage. Mine was something like this. If they didn't buy then u have to get it for a full year. The coverage is under this AIG....
Yes, it surely saves a lot of hassle when u can buy it on the same day. Just get it done before seeing the officer lor. If not he/she will chase you out to get it first. Could be a bit frustrating like that coz we will already so blur then ;-P
Basically fire insurance only cover damages when there is fire and house insurance has a wider coverage to perhaps cover things like break ins etc etc... my hubby was reading it aloud to me that day but I forgot the details liao. I go ask him if he remember and will update u again

Hi Huiz,

The rose ah...I'm not sure if I understand the instructions right...
Row 1: 55ch. <font color="0000ff">(means to do 55 chains, right?)</font> Into 4th ch from hook work 1dc. <font color="0000ff">(erm, what's this? how is a double chain different from 2 normal chains? sorry ah, sounds like a stupid question...hehs)</font> *1ch, miss 2ch, (1dc, 2ch, 1dc) in next st. Repeat from * to the end. Turn. <font color="0000ff">(don't understand this part)</font>...hahaha...so basically, seems like I only understand the 55ch...hahaha.

Hi Corsage,
Hmm, ok chain is the most basic stitch of crochet. This forms the foundation chain. http://www.crochet.org/lessons/lessonr/rd272830.html
DC is referring to double crochet rather than double chain. Here is a link to demo how to make a DC: http://www.crochet.org/lessons/lessonr/rstdc.html
After u have done the 55 chains (chs) u insert the needle into the 4th chain from the needle (the chain on the hook doesn't count) and work your 1st dc. After this dc, *work a ch. Then skip 2 chains on the foundation. On the next chain, work 1 dc, 2 chs, 1 dc all in the same chain*. Repeat the process I have put in between ** all the way to the end.
Heh, hopefully it's clearer for u now.
I think I am could be a bit too ambitious for my ang pow box. I need to go and sketch out my design later. Got chance I show u okie?

Hi Huiz,
Thanks for explaining!
Hey Li Ann, I also feel that crochet is much easier than knitting. I used to crochet scarf, little pouches...but that was many years back liao (when I was 12?). heehee... When I picked it up last time, it was from observing how others crochet...so now, to the instructions in "words", I find it cheem...hahaha.
Where do you gals go to custom make wedding bands? I still haven't gotten mine, and my AD is in Nov...cham...

Me ah, me big Spotlight fan ohhh... get most of my stuff there. The other places I very frequently patronise are these neighbourhood craft shops at AMK, Hougang (think the bosses can recognise me liao) and also this Golden Dragon at People's Park Center (opposite Chinatown point)
Tiong Bahru Plaza.... hmm, think I had been there before. Is it this little shop near an escalator and opposite Sakae? I like the balls of DMC threads they sell, but ouch, they are so exp!
Happy crocheting!

Am heading to Arab St and Chinatown this Sun to get my materials...
I stole some ideas from the websites and craft books for ring pillow and ang bao box and so going to these places to source for the materials...so excited! I've stopped making hand crafts quite some time ago and so this would be the first time in many years to get my hand dirty again!
CSIFan...keke..today lazy to go for yogalates...
Fairy's Inc is one nice place for custom made wedding bands...the two pretty lady owners are friendly and approachable. It is located in Delphi Orchard...think 4th or 5th floor. Remember to make appt before you head down so that they can attend to you better.
I'm thinking of a design so that i can go back to them to custom make...the lead time is about 2 mths...so i need to give them the designs latest end Sep.

Hey Li Ann,
me too! Today lazy to go for yogalates...heehee...instead, I went Chinatown to shop for materials to complete my ring pillow (I completed my cross stitch! yeah!!) and to start on the crocheting. heehee...
Hmm...thanks for the name of the shop ladies.
Just a thought, any idea what's their price range like? Compared to shops like Poh Heng, Lee Hwa...So I dun get a "heart attack" when I visit them. heehee...

Hi CSI Fan,
I found Fairy Inc's website at http://www.fairysinc.com/ but there seems to be limited info there.
CSI and Li Ann,
How's your material shopping and craft work getting on?

I hope so... 2nd fitting is in Sept and then PS in Oct.
I've been exercising for more than 2 months, didn't lose any weight on my lower body. The most obvious part which lost weight is my face.
I don't think I could have my dream wedding gown. Have to take the flare bottom type. Sigh

i thought shopping for materials would be easier than the actual making it...but no leh...i walked round and round chinatown people's park center for hours and still quite clueless of what to get...think i am ill-prepared...too many ideas and therefore not knowing what to get in the end...but well...i still manage to get some off-white satin cloth, lace and one whole big bag of sponge...
Now crash-course on the different hand stiches...so that i can get started...actually thinking of embriodery on the satin cloth...but...it seems far more difficult than what i can imagine...sigh...
Went to get some potpourri during lunch earlier...thinking of putting some potpourri inside the ring pillow too...
About Fairy's Inc...think the price is quite reasonable..not the super ex type. Depending on the design and how many diamonds used, price varies from 400 to 1200...
I think i will stick to something more timeless and classic...and definitely not those with diamonds sticking out...i also chor lor...sure gonna knock my stones against everything else...
Nelli...dun lose heart...add oil! add oil! Maybe can try the honey thingie...i'm taking royal jelly honey...jeans got loosen a bit...you try and see how... maybe can also try the yogalates (think the hip twisting exercise really work out your hip and bottom areas)
And coming to that...CSI Fan..paiseh...still owe you a question on Hibernation Diet right? What did you ask huh? oh ok...the way to eat the honey right? For me hor, the honey is already part of some juice so i take it that it still works with adding water...

Nellie, it's one cool mum u have
I was not very keen on getting wedding bands with diamonds coz I also feel that I will scratch them in no time. Furthermore, most of the diamonds are so tiny. I don't think it is worth to pay so many hundred bucks more for them. So in the end, being pragmatic, we opted for a simple one from Soo Kee. I like the 3D design of my ring
Li Ann,
I also greedy last time when I was surfing around for ring pillow patterns. Everything also want ;-P. But really lor, need to decide on a patter before u buy the materials then u wouldn't end up buying too much and also things that u ultimately don't need....

Nellie...very supporting mum you have! It's important to have someone to motivate you in your exercise regime... have fun!
CSIFan...confirmed le. I read the Her World last night and it says that we can vary the way we want to eat the honey...with herbal tea, mix in a smoothie, spread on a toast, etc. But personally i think just eating it in its original form is the best...

Me kinda bored at work today. Holiday mood la. Haha. So I did something "wu liao".
I had gathered all the gown pics I had collected from the net and posted them on Shutterfly. (www.huiz.shutterfly.com). For those who are looking for designs, hopefully this will help.
But u may also realise that the gowns are very similar, with lotsa bows and ribbons. Haha, coz I am a big sucker of these things!

CSIFan... you do yoga right?
My friend tried it out for two weeks and swore by the results! She lost one inch in just two weeks...
What she did was to attend at least three yoga classes...a mixture of combat yoga + hot yoga + yogalates each week....plus sensible eating (no diet wor...just eat enough and avoid too oily stuff)
Very motivated! Am going to start this regime soon...i have 9 days to my gown fitting!

Dear ah mais,
I'm told by my colleague to change my PS date again. This is so frustrating. I had changed once and now again....
I've already planned what I'll do during my block leave and also told my M'sia friend to come during that period. Now I have to 're-schedule' everything.

Hi Nellie,
What happened?? Cool down..
How come your colleague can ask u to change PS date? Just tell ur colleague that photographer fully booked liao...cannot accept changes...hehee...
I felt that as long as u give ur opic ample notice when u are going on leave...they shouldn't be asking you to reschedule things over n over again.
