Deciding on the ROM Date

After searching on the sgbrides forum, I find a cheap n hopefully reliable 'shifu' and get some dates. Alas, deciding on the date is again cumbersome bec' both our families have different opinions and we have our own preferences too. Finally, we managed to persuade our family on the date we want.. (heng).

So we realise tat it is best not to ask for family opinions on such dates anymore.. so tiring.

M went to book the ROM website at midnight, but actually now I think no need to be gan cheong as i realise that weekday not many people book lah.. anyway book early better than late lor.

So far I have invited my 'must invite' frens. Feel very warmth that most of my dear friends want to attend

HI, thks for your compliments glad that it is useful.

I seen 2 Shifu but i will recommend the lady shifu at a corner shop 1st floor of Bencoolen building (near to Si Ma Lu Guanyin temple).

U can approach shifu abt 1 year before to get your dates. If too early then u have to get another shifu tat can calculate dates for u but it is based on estimation (may not be accurate).

If u want shifu who can calculate dates w/o calender can approach one Huang Shifu at Textile centre.

ROM Invitation card

This is just a sample of the card.. with the details deleted away. Just this week, i thought of designing a ecard for official invitation to my friends, and putting the details of the day and maps, so that it be useful for them. Initially wanted to send an ecard from those free cards website but they are not the kind i prefer. So in the end I source for pixs from several websites and use photoshop to add effects to the card. Heee, my brother says why I take so much effort to designing for just an ecard. Recently I have been vexed with some family matters complicated with the coming ROM. Really hope that these problems will be solved soon and the wedding preparation will be smooth sailing and peaceful.

Comments on Bridal Shops

Just to summarise my views on the following bridal shops i visited/seen. These are my personal views :- 1) J&C (Clark Quay) - Basic package: $5K. Not hard selling. Designer is very friendly and professional. Gowns concentrate more on lace. Photography is outsourced to other firms. 2) Flamingo (Tanjong Pagar) - Basic package: $5K. Not hard selling. Designer is not around when we go. The gowns are simple and creative. Photography is outsourced to other firms. 3) U Bridal (Tanjong Pagar) - Basic package: $2K+. Quite Hard selling. It is a new shop set up, so the gowns are very new but not many. Their photos are developed by Kodak, very nice. The Shop asst refused to give negatives even if we offered to pay. Give us the impression that they are not very negotiable. 4) Everbliss (Suntec, Plaza Sing) - Basic package: $2K. Very hard selling. We signed up at their road show. My personal opinion is their gowns are more towards to taiwanese style, heard that they import their gowns from Malay...

Bridal photoshoot!!

Bridal shop: Bridal concept (liang seah street) Photographer: Kit Makeup artist: Lynn 10.00am: We reach bridal concept shop but it is not open. Lynn happen to walk by and told us we are supposed to report to the studio (which is at a nearby building), but kit told us previously to meet at the shop leh?.. Lynn told us our appt is supposed to be 11am, not 10am as the other couple book first on today date. But eeping told us to come at 10am leh?.. So we have to go out jalan while lynn get the other couple ready first.. shucks should have sleep more at home if we know it is 11am for us.. 11.00am: Makeup and dress up for the 1st costume (Ming chu costume). The hairstyle and makeup make me looked like the "san mei" in the drama show "Jie Da huan xi". M keep joking and i am quite irritated. 12.00am: Photographer Kit reach..and start photographing the first costume. Change into the victorian costume with new hairstyle done by Lynn and take more fotos. 1plus: Break for lun...
