Hi gals

I got one question to ask, side-track a bit: I wanna sell my AD items in the marketplc thread. So this forumer (not the original forum poster) ask mi to open my own thread, and claim tat its unethical to hijack. Is there a policy whereby its compulsory to open a new thread?
kao_confused.gif
Never c or read anythin frm Chin Leng. The original poster posts were dated in Feb 07. If tats the case, then if everybody opened a new thread each time they wanna sell sumthing, then marketplc will be so crowded.

Hi diva,

Becos i do not want to use NCQ fake cake, so i request jamie to give me a pic of the wedding cake promised by the hotel and send to Mervyn to get him coordinate for me.

My guests were ogling at the cake before the wedding started. hahahah

If you go into their website, they have more varieties.

The topping's colour, can actually be change one.

I have ordered the cupcakes for my anata's birthday, coming Nov.

I will take more photos for their other cake design.

And thanks for your compliment on that gown. My sis's design.

Hi Vanilla,

dun think there're any rules on that...but if the thread is still new & alive, then i think it's better to start a thread of your own.

however, like you said, it was started so long ago and it's almost 'dead' liao, then it's okay to post inside.

Hi divasan/eemoo

Thanks for enlightening me. Tats y i feel a bit offended by the word 'hijack' mentioned by the other forumer. She was not the original poster. The original poster posted hers in Feb 07, then she din seem to reply when enquiries came in, so I reckon its dead or her items are sold. So i posted lor, not wanting to open another thread cos if too many threads, but topic is the same, seems silly to me. Then kena from her.
sad.gif
Moreover, everytime i posted i made sure the previous owner has aldy sold her items or the thread is dead. Then went to do read on on the moderator's previous post, he oso say no rules on restricting ppl to post on ppl's thread.

Sorry la...i jus niam niam a bit..*sigh*

Hi Bruce Almighty's Bride,

Saw ur frdster pic on the cupcakes..makes mi hungry lei..may i know hw much u paid for those? Can share?

Hi Suika & Shugar..I forgot which of you had your banquet at Cinnamon room? How long is the march-in to the stage huh roughly? Is it a very slow walk as in probably one second per step...hehe..will you reach the stage in less than 45 seconds? Dunno if the songs we have chosen are suitable ornot leh... I really need some help!! Thanks! =)

Hi Vanilla,

I paid around $210 for the cakes including the rental of the cup cake tiers, plus setting of the cupcakes and picking of the tiers.

There are just some ppl who don't like to share thread with ppl. Maybe she is the initial poster just that change her 'id'. if not we can only say she too eng to help other to guard the thread. hahhahaha "Guardian Angel of the thread".

Suika,

Just send the link to you.

Hi Cheekybee

Both suika and me used Cinnamon Room.
For us, I think 1st march-in we were rather excited and walked too fast! Hahahaaa... think we got to the stage in maybe about slightly less then 30secs?? I can't quite remember also but our PG told us to slow down for 2nd march-in. :p kekeke...
Pick a song that you both like. Preferably something that'll give you both a 'grand entrance' kinda feel, or maybe a special song that you both have? Makes that moment more special that way. :p
Any particular song that u r looking for? Let me know... maybe I might have it.

Oh and Birthday wishes to Ann too!
Cheer up,
happy.gif
At least yr HB brought you out for b'day dinner

I have a colleague whose wood block of a husband dun even wish her happy birthday! And that block dun even react when she tells him its her birthday... aiyoh... vomit blood man!

Hi Gals.
Thanks for all your best wishes and I am fine now. It normally takes a day or 2 to calm down. Hehe!!

By the way, it's my bday again today! Haha!! Chinese one. So I am 28 yrs old. Wah lao.. older by 1 yr in 2 days. Damn!! Haha!!

Hi Vanilla.
I think sometime pple are very protective about the thread. I think the gal must have kanna before from pple who hijack her thread and manage to sell their item off or she hijack pple's thread and kanna the same thing. So now she start to bother about other people's thread too to make herself feel better.

Generally speaking, maybe out of coutesy, it would be better to ask the thread owner for permission first before tagging on the thread. If the owner agreed, then no issue but if owner dun reply at all, then would be better to open a new thread. I do agree that the forum will be flooded with identical thread but better than kanna from pple who point finger at you and say you hijack pple's thread without owner's permission. Then it becomes like you are at fault. Not worth it loh. Just my 2 cents worth. Don't get angry at me hoh.

If I am the thread owner, then I wouldn't care. Pple like to tag then tag loh.. Sometime I also find too many similar things in the marketplace liao then rather messy. Haha!!

Maybe they should do a sub thread. Like our email inbox. Might be more tidy and pple will know where to look for items easily.

Hi Ann

No la, not angry, jus feel a bit 'innocent' abt kena-ing frm such ppl. Anyway I told her its not very nice to say ppl hijack or unethical. She could PM me, or say nicely. I dun think its nice to pint fingers if the person dunno anything and moderator stated no rules &amp; regulations on that. Anyway nvm la. Lesson learnt. Sigh

Hi eemoo!

For food tasting you have to arrange on your own and then call up your coordinator and let her know the date you and your family will be going and also the dishes that you have decided to try out. (On weekdays only though!) For you, I think you should start choosing the food tasting date liao.

During food tasting, you will be given a checklist of all your dishes. Mark how you feel about the food from excellent to poor. also note down general comments like too sweet / too salty etc and at the end of the dinner, when the chef comes to your table, point these out to him.

As for confirming of menu, Think you can still make changes and let your coordinator know when you meet her to finalise attendance &amp; seating plan. But better to decide earlier and save yourself any last minute headaches.

Hi Darine_gal &amp; Nini,

I didn't use the dummy cake from NCQ, I asked Jamie to supply me with the cake promised by them. And rented the Cupcake tiers from C-cup, to place the tiers with cupcake and the top tier with the wedding cake from NCQ.

Mervyn frm C-Cup also gave me some boxes to packed the cupcakes.... so i distributed to my jiemeis and brothers who helped us on that day to the night.

I also gave them huiling, jamie, and the other 2 BM as a appreciation gift.

Then i still get to pack 27 cup-cakes back 9 in each box- 1 to my mum, 1 to MIL and the other kept for myself.

1 stone kill 4 birds... hahhah

Hi Ann

I was reading Women's weekly and came across this article on the difference between men &amp; women and they way they(men) interpret certain information from women.
happy.gif
Share with u:

"WE SAY i'M FINE WHEN WE'RE CLEARLY NOT"
Here's why: you raise your eyebrows high and purse your lips in sarcastic "I'm fine" pose - when really you're are furious at something he did. Another woman would understand this expression instantly, but it often just shoots straight over a man;s head.
"He isn't trying to be insensitive - he;s just more literal and not nearly as good as you are at interpreting subtext," says body language expert Audrey Nelson. "Guys take things at face value, so when you say 'I'm fine', he's only paying attention the the words, not the invisible fire that comes with them." Therefore, he simply takes your word for it and drops the subject.
Solution: Tell him how you really feel. "Women aren't always comfortable with being harsh, even when they're being justifiably angry," says Nelson. "Guys are direct by nature and they expect you to be like that also."
If you can't be upfront, wait until you have him on his own and tell him that you'll like to talk about a comment he made later. Don't just sit in the corner and sulk, as this will confuse him - remember, men aren't mind-readers.
"Men are comfortable when they're taking action or fixing a problem. Giving your boyfriend this verbal warning signal allows him to do just that." (Quoted from Women's Weekly)
Hope you're feeling much better today!

VaNiLLa >> dats a good article which i absolutely agree. however, a word of caution: i am a rather straight forward person and always never fail to speak my mind. i always voice out whats bothering me. however, the expectations are higher after that becoz i think that he finally get it. so when things happen again, i dun feel good too. so just an experience wanting to share. :p

Hi divasan

Hehehe..think i too free la...jus share the article wif u gals :p

I'm a straight forward person too, cos i find bottling my emotions very 'pek chek. I understand where u coming from, its like if u aldy told him ur expectations and u expects him to remember. but again when he doesnt and make the same mistakes again, we get frustrated. Sama sama la..but sumtimes out of spike, if he does anything wrong, then i will take 'revenge' and if he complains, then i will go: 'C? tats wat u did to mi previously, and now u noe it doesn't feel gd ya?' LOL

But sometimes.. after many times of repeating .. it gets so tired..

Hi michelle

Marriage prep course is indeed good for the couple. At first I was very skeptical abt it, after hearing some 'side effects' of the course from some couples. But after sorting out my thts, I find it silly to worie abt this and tat. Afterall, its harmless attending. Never regret since. It allows us to understand each other more, and find out things/info abt each other we never take note of.

We're still learning now, on how to live wif each other under the same roof! LOL

Hi Vanilla n Diva,

Nowsaday, women have a mind of their liao, so most women have become straight-forward...

But after many quarrels of unheeded issues, i lin wu dao guys will not see in our way even when we talk nicely (or rather nag, kekek) to them, so we used the "Action speak louder than word" to make them see. But most imptly... we cannot be too over... we are not perfect either... sometimes will just have to be du yan long to overlook some of bad and remember the good bah... then relationship can be maintained.

Which both me and Vanilla are now doing....once in a while 'revenge' to make them understand but not too hurtful, to hurt their ego.... n led to a even worse situation.

And remember men are veri ego... too straightforward, their egoness will block their thinking mind and hearing ears, and visually clear eyes. So they will think you are the one who is finding trouble'.

Marriage Prep course can be good, least you can see in his way and vice-versa on the same matter.

Though i have never been to one, cos he is too busy, but we have agreed, anytime if we see our marriage is facing some problem, we should throw away our 'face' n go for the Post Marriage counciling... to make our marriage last.

And living in the same roof, you only have him n he having you... wat the point of quarrelling, then you have to face the 4 wall liao... kekeke
Sometime let go abit might do the trick, cos when he expected you to start the bomb, but u did not, he will be more concern what'd happen to you... then he will ask and then you can nicely tell him lor. isn't it better.

Hi shugar...hehe we have actually picked two songs for our march-ins but dunno if we have to walk really slowly to match the tempo leh...then ideally we will probably reach the stage in about 60 seconds...dunno if too slow ornot leh..haha...

Hi eemoo...try to fix a date and let jamie know...she will advise you if that day is available...they will also need the menu a week in advance...on the actual day there will be a feedback form on all the dishes and you can also speak to the banquet mgr if you have any comments...

Hi Michelle

The Marriage prep course touches on:

1. Roles of husband &amp; wife
2. Communication in marriage
3. Conflict resolution
4. Sexual intimacy
5. Financial planning
6.Personality profiling

I got this info from Touch Community Services (http://tcs.org.sg/events/ongoing/mep.html). Attended their Marriage Prep course before my wedding.

Ya bruce almighty's bride! Agree with your last sentence. Living under the same roof, sort of 'xiang yi wei ming' liao, so if argue then refused to talk to each other, the feeling is like being banished into the 'cold room'.

Perhaps when u n hubby got time can go attend, even for newlyweds. I think its very important. Cannot wait until trouble starts to appear then go for it *touch wood* Mus have 'preventive measures' 1st. Hehe.

Hi Blackcurrent,

For NCQ, every year the price there will be a price increase for each table which is $30. I doubt 2008 price list is applicable to Mar 2009. Anyway, you can add in another $30 for 2009 package if you r using 2008 pricing as a guide for now.

Probably 20 songs. NCQ does have their own CDs music too, but you may wanna prepare your fav songs.
