Jo...I think I won't have chance to see you. My AD date came out today, the earliest is 7 Jun 08. I will need to call BC to inform them that we are pushing it back. Due to the "qing ming" in Mar and Apr next year, we can't get married in that month.
So sad....

No la jo, I meant becoz my AD is on 7 Jun and urs will be much earlier ma (nov 07), so when I do my photo shoot that time, you might already finished your AD already. We cant possibly see each other at BC.
Hey I added you in friendster, you must share with me your photos after photoshoot ok?
How is your prep coming up? Hey, who is your coordinator for Orchard hotel huh? Mine is a lady called Cleo but somehow I find her kinda of not so efficient. Are you getting the $939net package? I am getting that but a lot of my colleagues tell me that they find Orchard hotel super expensive. Well... I have no choice, think is the only affordable hotel at this moment, the rest which can accomodate 70tables are hotels like ritz, shang etc which is even worse. *cry* my pocket is gonna burnt a big hole.

oic. ya.. but perhap we can see each other while u r there for fitting before PS. Hee.. who is ur coordinator at BC?
ya, saw tat. cant access friendster at office. will add u at home.
At OH, my coordinator is Elleen. Heard Cleo is quite experienced. Shld be ok bah. No, i signed the package last yr in sept before they revised the package. I tink its quite ok for a hotel ballroom pricing with Hua Ting as a award winning resturant as background bah. Just that its seems like OH isnt like very well known. Quite a nos of my friends doesnt know where is it. Haha.. or we are too gu lou kua wen liao. hee..
actually for hotel pricing for a weekend dinner, the rate is ard there. Just that I realise many people din know that the pricing had actually gone up so much over the years..

hi ladies,
been busy lately with work, so din come into this thread. i have not really started my wedding preparations yet. have not even gone down to the BS for 1st appt. my AD in oct 07, so still got long way to go.
joanne - have u consider asking the geomancer whether can hold wedding dinner end of this yr? june 08 like very far hor.
orchard hotel is a 4 start deluxe hotel. close to a 5 star hotel. so the weekend price is comparable to a 5 star hotel. just that i felt most of the guests may give only $80 per pax. seem that that is the market rate. my sis held her wedding dinner at pan pacific hotel recently. made a loss. not many people will give more than $80 for wedding dinner

thanks, Jo. May call up the BS this weekend and c what they say. i am too busy with work, so no time to think about wedding lor.
so far, i have not done any research. too much info. also dunno what i want. no time to look through the websites too. i may just tell the designer the theme that i want and let her come up with the design. My ROM dress is MTM from the BS too. my friends and colleagues commented that the dress looks very nice.

Hey...sorry my boss is in town lately, have been very very busy. Jo, my coordinator at BC is Eddie.
Sunflower, can I kapo abit o not? Which BS did you sign up? Oh... I can't married this year due to work issues. I have major events coming up and also my bf is in events industry, his calendar is blocked from now till end of the year already. That is also one of the reason why I started prep so early. Once we have the time we will just look around for the necessary stuff because we never know which weekend is burnt and which is not.

Jo, I am not an event planner my bf is. I am working as PA in an aerospace industry. What about the both of you?
Of coz shiok la... got boss ard, he stress, I also stress!
Jo, do you know that there is a bridal show coming up organised by BC at Furama Chinatown on 15 Apr. Eddie (my coordinator) called me in the afternoon to inform me about it. He said that the ticket is selling at $18. If payment made by UOB (i think) is $10. Then I asked him if I go, does that mean that they are offering me a better package (Lolz, just kidding) anyway, he asked me to go down and check out their new collection of gown. Want to go? Where you stay huh, btw?

We can always meet up! Btw, my directors went to Orchard hotel for a wedding dinner last month, and they commented that the food are nice. Think they have a changed of chef, because my bf's aunty who hold her wedding there 2 years ago commented that the food not nice but they like the ambiance there. But I love their suite. *Gee...
Hi Jo, yes, taking the whole of grand ballroom. I went to take a look at the ballroom already, it looks big and spacious. How many tables do you intend to have? Haiz...I really dont buy the idea of having so many guests, is really hard to take care. But I got no choice ... is my future MIL's guests! I wont know who are they, they wont even know who am I. Lolz

Hey kristin,
juz saw your photos. I love your hairstyle during AD!!! Haha.. shall ask my MUA to do something like yours if possible.
Btw, what is the setting of your ballroom? Coz yesterday when I went down to OH to discuss the ballroom decoration, I don't remember seeing that setting? Anyway, the new setting looks really disappointing! The favours too! Sigh...
