Jade Spring @ Yishun

[piggy_cheng]

Hi fellow Jade Springers,

Need some help here. Wondering if u guys have any good AD photographers to recommend? My AD is on 20 Sept 2009 and I have yet to find one!! Looking for a mixture of photo journalism, random group photos and formal table photos. Any idea? Budget is abt $700- $750

 

[jaslyn288]

Hi ger, ermmm... u can try simon video @ www.simonvideo.com OR yellowphotography.. =D

if ur budget can slightly abit higher, u can try zeproduction.. =D

Hi,

For those who are staying at the lower floor and not so happy with it, what I can suggest is to air-conditioned the whole flat (maybe a system 4). Chances are if you dont open the windows, you will minimize the noise, mozzie, smell, insects that comes along with lower floor units.

For info, Im on 2nd level. Not complaining since its cheaper and will be easier on my pocket. I just need a roof.

What my friend did was that they bought a clothes dryer too, so the clothes dont have to hang out to dry at all.

N yeah.. i find low levels easier to have crawling cockroaches. High levels will have flying ones. hee. but our flats not those with eateries, shops below.. so wont be that cockroach infested ba. and now the flats are also built in a way that the rubbish chute is outside the flat ma. so should be better.

 

[teamio77]

Oh yeah, not forgetting the ultra lack of privacy for low floor stayers since our living room windows are full height. Got to put up with all this. hehe

any updates on the building?

Thanks all! Hi Kelly, so planning for No.1 yet?

 

[gg_paradise]

hi ladies.. mi now sourcing for my AD banquet venue.. wan to check with u all, how do u all go abt sourcing for one? What are the factors to look out for?

 

[morekisses512]

Firstly, you must identify the number of guests you are inviting... Thus, lookout for table capacity, any pillars blocking the view of stage, cost of the menu, corkage fees incurred, freeflow of Beer etc etc...

 

[chrissyyeo]

not forgetting... whether the food is tasty, services rendered, ambience, location...

I didn't plan my number yet but have booked the venue. min 30 tables for my side. Good luck with the sourcing!

 

[morekisses512]

Good Luck for those who are in the mid of preparation. : )

 

[gg_paradise]

[morekisses512]

Heeeheee... for my wedding in 2007, I did everything all by myself.My Hubby mainly confirm attendance with his family and friends. So it was a headache for me...doing all the planning, co-ordination with bridal etc etc..

 

[jaslyn288]

[morekisses512]

Im currently thinking to go for 18 mths kind or 3 yrs..pros n cons la..
tks

 

[morekisses512]

Hi Sheryl,

What type of degree are you looking at? Any preferred University? My PT Degree took me about 1year at MIS. University of Northumbria-UK. Marking is very strict.

You can try Unisim too. Direct entry for Poly Diploma graduates. : ) Cheers!

 

[melody_fav]

Thanks.. tentatively i shortlisted Kaplan - Swinburne Uni of Technology - Australia( 18 mths) and MDIS - Uni of Bradford - UK ( 3 yrs) -as both near to office... Unisim too far fr office n hm.. ..

 

[melody_fav]

Anyone keen to go wif me? haha

 

[gg_paradise]

I'm currently taking ACCA in kaplan liao...

 

[melody_fav]

oh hw was it?

 

[luvoink]

the cranes were erected means that they gonna start building the flats...

 

[morekisses512]

Wow! What a good piece of news! Hooray!


Hi Sheryl, I would prefer Kaplan rather than MDIS.

 

[melody_fav]

Hi, morekisses512

THanks for your opinion.. i actually also prefer Kaplan cos shorter mah... 18 mths jus nice.. finish the course then new hse come.. haha

 

[gg_paradise]

Sheryl: I'm taking ACCA courses nt degree so cant comment on how their degree courses. But if u asking abt the environment, lecturers etc.. they are quite good.. so find I find that their lecturers are goods, know their work very well & able to give u real life & realistic examples. but one thing which my friends and me always say abt kaplan is, their prices are more high end as compared to their competitors.. haha

 

[melody_fav]

wahaha... i see hw lo..

 

[etirine]

I'm also at Kaplan~ BA of Media Arts

 

[melody_fav]
