but i doubt it coz platinum hardly find in indo.if does matter,well..guess we'll get it in SG.
its true not all white gold will tarnish..but heard that it will come someday..especially if someone have bad quality sweat,the chemical reaction will effect the gold,,then tarnish will be possible appear.dunno wether this 'gossip' is true or not..but i like it safe & just go for platinum

Zhane,
haha... you very funny. Bad quality sweat??
I think diamonds in indo should be cheaper right. You get direct from factory, i bet its cheaper than those leehwa, sookee etc in SG. But true, platinum is not very common in indo. Have fun searching for your wedding band! I cant wait for my time to come too. hehe...
haha... you very funny. Bad quality sweat??
hi ladies,
wow. left for meeting and there are so many postings already
leeds, how much is it ah? i'm scared after i sign up i'll be too lazy to go for the classes. hehehe.... only 'hot' in the beginning.
err... from what i heard from several jewelers, it's not true that platinum does not tarnish as easily as white gold. both tarnish at the same rate according to them. actually those jewelers that i spoke to also said that platinum requires more care and polishing as it might get scratches more easily. so don't know which is true, in the end chose white gold for my wedding band.
update on the gathering, been to toast twice and it's quite a relax place so can definitely take our own sweet time there.
20 may 2004, toast:

rhs, you wanna join us??
mmmhh... just to let you ladies know, platinum prices are rising right now. due to a high demand in china or something like that.

Hi leeds,
Ya lor i only check emails at home. In school (i'm teaching in a church kindergarten), cannot even use the handphone. Must take care of the kids... Can only use hp once the kids leave the school. HA haaa..
Dear square couple,
Did you apply to this school through the classified ads? Cos i saw the ads a couple of times in newspapers. I was actually considering whether i should apply for the pre-school teacher position or not. BUt since i already got a job at a church kindergarten here, then i thought i may just continue with what i have now. Maybe can consider applying again when my hubby-to-be wants to work in indonesia.
Which post are you applying for? So you went for the interview already? The people in indonesia are generally very friendly. Food wise, should not be a problem, but be prepared to get stomachache in the 1st few days you are there.
Working in international school in indo should be quite challenging. Cos you are working with politicians' kids.. HAaa.. Anyway, tell me more why you choose to apply for this position which means a new environment and people.. HAa.. Seems like i'm interviewing you ah.. HA haaa

Morning leeds,
Met up with billy yest, like what you said, the invitation card designs are horrible even the one with leaves patterns (after seeing it again)!
As for the wedding favors, true enough its heart-shaped choc! And the worse is, the choc box is so ugly, it's white box with "Four Seasons" logo & writing on it. Reminds me of boxes of toiletries usually in hotel bathroom...
Sigh! We are now thinking of getting our own cards and favors (or at least change the box).
See how it goes..

Hi teatree,
Its $60/mth. Very good deal. Or if you have uob visa mini, can go free twice a month. Maybe you can try out before signing up. How how interested?
I dont know yet when I'll be getting my bands. Hopefully this July when my fiance comes back to SG. Now is just researching so I know what i want when he asks.
Seems like more difficult to care for platinum ah? Can get scratches too? sigh... better stick to white gold then, cheaper too so can get more diamonds! hehe...
What is picnic roll? i never heard of it leh...
Butterfly,
What's your working hour like? What do you teach? Your job sounds like fun and you seem to enjoy it a lot... makes me curious.

Serenity,
Your meeting with billy doesn't sound like it went too well. Sigh... I thought by now they would have come up with new cards and favours!! They are always so boring! I'm also thinking of getting my own cards. But wedding favours will stick to their chocs lah, my parents said they are good for guests to munch on before dinner is served. So, are you able to change the cards + favours for something else??

I love the feeling after a good work out.

Canny, whats piyo? California is good too ah, a lot of classes and location very centralised. But i just cant get used to the idea of exercising where all the ppl from outside can see in! haha...

Teatree,
If you are really keen, i think i can bring you in for trial. Gotta ask first though. You want?
Candi,
Which branch do you go to normally? I've never tried body combat but i see the class quite packed usually, a bit worried might get kicked. haha... Wah you should try cycle challenge! cycling for one whole hour!! But really really good.
With uob card, you can only go twice a month right? Should just sign up for membership, its cheaper if you sign up for a year, $60/mth. Otherwise its abt $150/mth.

Good morning gals.
Teatree, I found out from PF last night, can bring in a friend for a free trial, as long as i make prior arrangement with the consultant. So just tell me when you want to go and will arrange with the consultant ok.
I normally go every wednesday for my 2 fav classes, pilates & cycling. Want to go?

Candi, Yah i heard from my relatives Se Ping's designs a bit outdated now so we all change designers lor. But he's still very popular in bandung. You've made gowns there too? I'm holding my wedding in SG but wont be inviting many ppl from bandung. Like you said, bandung is very closely-knit! Everybody seems to know everybody else, thats why gossips travel so fast!! haha... So if i invite one, i gotta invite the other and end up inviting too many ppl, so to make things easier we are only officially inviting immediate relatives and whoever happens to be in SG at that time.
You should try cycle challenge class! great workout, really work out a sweat, and feel very "high" after that!
go try it out!

hi anna, since u're fr medan, can i ask u a few questions...
i'm sporean, so i may be quite ignorance of the "common" things in indonesia, so pls pardon me.
are mostly chinese in medan hokkien?
do all indonesian chinese hv a chinese name besides their english name? i'm quite confused. last time i used to hv an indonesian classmate. she has english/malay name but she oso has typical chinese name eg. li cai lian. so actually their surname is following whose?
what's medan like? village or town? is it big?

edksd
ya most of the chinese ppl there do speak hokkien. its quite the same variety as the penang one so you may hv heard it if you have been to penang.
um.. just curious..why do you ask? are you planning on moving there?
some indo ppl hv a chinese name and some dun. the chinese name is the same as the names ppl hv in sg. the indo name is the surname - usually a variation of the chinese surname. english name usually is in english... but some of the indo ppl aer very assimilated into the indo culture then you say they hv more indo names... personally i find jakarta ppl more assimilated then other areas.. but then tt also varies...

err... i think the part where the groom's side gives the necklace is called lamaran. heheh... at least that's what i had. engagement party more like announcement to people that 2 persons are going to be married.
canny, well, look on the bright side, you'll miss all those hectic preparations once married
when are the receptions by the way?
i'm not going to do much. just tired of work. hehe..

My engagement parties are juz makan sessions. They are like make-up banquets for some pple who can't make it for our weddings in asia.
Hmmm... the one in SF is on July 31st and the one in LA is on Sept 5th. We are doing food tasting this week-end for the one in SF and finishing our DIY invitation cards for both parties.
Anna,
Me from Medan as well.

Hey Butterfly,
FS ballrorom is very nice. It is a reasonable size and I dun recall seeing pillars in the ballroom. One of the reasons I chose FS is that it caters for smaller banquets lor. I only have appx 25 tables.
Have you had ur wedding?
Yeah... I chose Dec cause itz easier for my fiance and I to ask for vacation time from our companies.
I totally forgot about the SALE. After hearing wat u said.... I think the SALE is a BIG BONUS for us.
