Hi Chel,
It is our plan to make our wedding on Mid Autumn Festival since from the beginning. According to seniors, mid autumn is a good date for wedding becuase it symbolic the reunion. We have ROM May last year and moved into our newly bought Apartment last June. Everything almost done except the customary wedding. Parents and relatives from both side keep pushing us to have our customary wedding earlier.
We know that "tong shu" for 2005 will only be out in the second half 2004, so out of no choice we choose 18 Sept because it is definitely an auspicious date and that's why we make early booking with Pan Pac.
But later when I check the wedding date I picked using the online chinese almanac, it is shown that the date we picked is a good date. However, it clashes with my mum's sign (pig), so I requested my father-in-law to double check (he knows how to calculate) and confirmed that it really clash with pig. Now we plan to make our "jing cha" ceremony a day before our banquet which is also an auspicious date for wedding to avoid the clash.

biba... i'm taking the Ocean Ballroom 2004 promo package. theme? hvn't decided. apparently, PP is coming up wif some new themes. so shall see how it goes later
basically, the freebies that u can 'bargain' for are things like waiver of hard liquor corkage, more pax for food tasting. invitation cards and car passes are sort of 100% guaranteed. gosh... it's been such a long time since my negotiation. anything else i missed??? hehe...
as for the angpow incident... i oso dunno what happened leh

Hi Lynn, you got a change in coordinator too/yet?
I asked my FH just now and he said he recall such an anypow incident at Pacific Ballroom but looks like nobody can verify huh... I guess Pacific Ballroom more vulnerable cos ground floor and the bad guy can make away more easily?

hahaha... pai seh. forgot that corkage for hard liquor is waived. yah, shld be wine
so this angpow incident is true? better be careful. it's scary. make sure that there's someone at the reception table near the angpow box at ALL times. my friend's advice is to 'escort' the angpow box to the bridal suite as soon as the dinner starts...

Hi blim
Have yet heard anything from PP yet, most likely not so soon since my AD is in Oct.
Hi all
Angbao incident if not wrong someone actually mingle in and then took the angbao box away without anyone knowledge. Tt's y u realise that the entrance to Pacific ballroom is only via 1 main entrance. The doors to ballroom from the main room are locked up ever since the incident.

Hi All
According to Delia, the angpow incident happened when everyone is in the ballroom already, left a girl to guard the box and a lot of other things alone, so the guy managed to snatch and run away before the girl can react. Maybe they are a bit complacent on the security... anyway i think the best is to keep the angpows the minute most people go inside the ballroom

just finished stringing all the cards over the weekend. so happy. one step closer now. tie strings tie until thumbs and fingers sore sore.. why? cos FH hopeless at that! he tie until so ugly i think better restrict him to just folding the inserts and cards. grrroowl....

Brambles, most printers don't tie for you unless you pay for the strings leh. My printer is giving us strings FOC.
Miata, we spent $80 + 5% GST for 200 normal printing inserts. Paper and gold strings included. In the end, found out printer gave us 16 extra inserts and 1 extra gold string. Only need to make 1 trip to collect. Arrangement prior to that was done via phone and fax.
*gasp* piglets you mean it's a conspiracy ar... haiyo...

Miata, Hi-Tec phone is 6458 9455. I liaise with Mei Yan. Do you want the directions too?
Meixue, we're waiting for Johnny to come back to work. Probably will go for food-tasting in Feb. Now we're wondering if we can request for food-tasting for 10pax. The contract fixed up with the previous coordinator stated 6pax only leh...
PPGroom and Miata, I also think stringing up the cards is quite a girly thing. Cos usually the guys' fingers bui-bui, very difficult to tie the knot beautifully hor... hahahah. A nicely done up card should be stringed tautly so the inserts will not shift easily and the butterfly knot should be as symmetrical as possible and aligned at the middle of the card. In the aspects, most guys fail miserably wor...

btw...i remember someone here asking abt aroma tealights in the ballroom...i did asked johnny last time too...but too bad they dun hv this leh...but he say we can buy and pass to him loh.. and they will put it in the ballroom when they setting up...
Yes, PP will be having new designs. We wanted to have a look at the new ones but they weren't ready in time for our wedding lor. Actually, the current ivory is not too bad lah. But the red one is err..... We thought the end product for the ivory cards is nice. The inserts were nicely done up with the ang-gong-gia picture and complete with shimmering gold strings. But the envelope is boring. Brrr....
Angie, I think almost all the bridal shops will dish out their fair share of beautiful dreams and horrible nightmares... I read a thread some time ago about this poor bride whose wedding gown split on her big day. The zip gave way from below the arm-pit all the way to the lower body. Bridal shop name is undisclosed but location at Tanjong Pagar. It kind of gives me the jitters... so when I go collect my gowns in March, I'll be sure to twist and turn and stand and squat and sit just to make sure the seams are flawless....
