and left his shop feeling a hole burned in my pocket. He charged me $1880 for an evening gown and with the design I wanted, the gown will be $2300. It is more expensive than the prices he first give me when I first visited him. I have no choice because I have already make the decision to sign up with him. My hubby called me after I left the shop. I told him that I have exceed our budget and quickly told him I will pay the excess. I am heart broken with the money.
Well, I got my nice gown...
Actually I got a good deal for my wedding gown. Usually, bridal shops will charge a make-to-measure price for a piece of off-the-rack gown if nobody except a model wear that before. However, I think since the gown I have selected is left on the shelves for almost one and a half year, Shirey charged me only $700.
Come to think of it, I will have to try to sell my evening gown at $1300 if I want to keep my budget. I dunno if ebay is a better place to get a better price a not. I have to check if gowns in US were more expensive than those in Singapore.
Throw away serious stuffs and think about something
Women are like apples on trees: the best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.......
So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right man to come along - the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Share this with others who are good apples - even those who have already been picked!
And remember... Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with!
We can do no great things, Only small things with great Love.

I have reread all my blogs here except
the jokes blogs and I have come to a conclusion. My hubby is a bad temper man. Now I am worried how am I going to live through it. Maybe after the wedding, I might have to start another blog. I have the intention to start a baby blog that everybody I only will read them. I think I need another blog like this one where nobody I know will read them.
Hmmmm... what shall I call it? Or shall I just write them in my daily craps blog?

I have brought my mum to spotlight today
because I wanted her to see the type of sleep wear I wanted. I dunno where the tradition comes from but I need to wear a new sleep wear during the make up session during the actual day. This sleep wear will have to be from my mum to me as a gift. I remember the ugly sleep wear my sis used to wear in her wedding. This time I wanted to let my mum know exactly what I wanted.
I wanted a satin sleep wear with cats print on it. It must be a 2 piece wear too. My mum thinks that I am crazy. I wanted her to sew it for me as a gift but she wanted to just buy it for me. I brought her to spotlight in Tampines today and found the exact print that I want. I was screaming with joy. However my mum still insist that she do not want to sew, she wants to buy one for me. She also said that the fabric in spotlight is too expensive to even consider about it. I was so sad.
My mum told me that Bugis might have what I want. I ofter that I will buy the material and she do the sewing. She is still not interested. I guess I will have to just accept any sleep wear she give to me and dump it into the store room after that (I dun use sleep wear). I do not wish to fight with her over a sleep wear.
Come to think of it, maybe I can just buy the material and get somebody to sew for me outside.

I have signed up with Poppy.
I manage to find Linda and asked her if flowers need to be sign up. She looked at me as if I am from outer space and said :"Yes of course". So I signed up with her immediately. I think she still have some lunch in her mouth when I disturb her at lunch time. She is so near to me, it makes me feel very funny to make an appointment with her.
I have also make an appointment with Tan Yoong and I will be visiting him next Tuesday to sign up with him. After that, I think most important taskes are settled.
I have put up a little picture above my blog which I find it very cute and gives me creepys too. I did not realise that I have only 3 months, 2 weeks and 1 day to my wedding day. I got a lots of things I need to do.

I have signed up with...
Chris Ling! for AD photography. I am engaging John Lim actually, Chris Ling do not do AD. I have also signed up with Flamingo for her OTR gown and make-up. Flamingo actually charged $700 for the OTR gown and she said that it is actually a first hand gown and nobody has wear that before except a model for photo shooting.
I need to make an appointment with Tan Yoong now and sign up with him for the EG. I was wondering at the same time if poppy need me to book them first a not. Everytime I go down to their shop, it seems that Linda is too busy.

I went to see Tan Yoong today.
Remember two beautiful pictures I posted a long time ago? I went to see the designer today. He let me try on three of the gowns and I fell in love with one. The problem is that it is so expensive.
That gown I tried on, if Tan Yoong will to MTM into my evening gown, it will cost me $2000. When I told William that, he got a shock of his life. I did not tell my mum the price but she said if it is expensive, then look for another one lor!
Maybe I can sell my Tan Yoong Evening gown for $1000 and forget about the Photo shooting for $1200. Then I will still be within my budget.

I feel so guilty that I did not post for a long time.
Quite a few things happened. Have I written that I booked my restaurant? I think I have.
I have visited Flamingo, found a nice gown and verbally confirm that Shirey will be making my WG & EG. She quoted me $1000 for the rental of the WG and $800 for making a new EG.
I have also went to Chris Ling with my friends, Kelvin introduce John Lim AD package to me. It is a 30 pages album in forgotten what size, with all the collages and all photos return. The price is $1980.
Then I saw their promotion on the website, $1200 for photo shooting by Chris Ling and Kelvin. I dun know what do they mean by Kelvin and Chris Ling, both of them do the shooting or a typo error?
Anyway, I think I will go down to their studio again maybe on Friday.
I will be going down to Tan Yoong tomorrow and check out some OTR gowns or EG, and their prices too.
Oh, I have visited Poppy, first visit, Linda assistance quote me $250 for the deco of the wedding car. Second visit, Linda quote me min $350. I think I will use them for the deco of the wedding car.
I think I will DIY my own hand flowers.
Make up Artist: I still dunno should I let Shirey do the make up a not. If I will to engage one, it will mean that the MUA will have to do my photoshooting if I have one, day and night during the AD, and a trial. I think it is going to be expensive.
Another question will be, if I found my EG in Tan Yoong or I let him do, can I just ask Shirey to do my make up and rent a WG from her? I dunno if she agrees a not.

I have booked the restaurant finally
I went to the restaurant with my mum and we were traped in the hotel lift. I have signed with the manager and he told me that he need two signature. I called my hubby and told him that and he questioned me why do they need two signature.
To cut the story short, this is what I have written in one forum:
Before booking that restaurant, I called so many places and they are fully booked. One restaurant even lecture me that I should have called them at least half a year ago. I went to bridal shop also kanna eye big big from them. Somemore I go to these places myself (my hubby not free). When I present these info to my hubby, he asked if I am too eager to get married. Arggggh. I actually went down to the restaurant to book it myself. The restaurant manager told me that that need two person signature and their IC. I called my hubby and told him that. Since he is too busy to go down, he questioned me why do they need two people to sign. He kept asking me to call the manager and asked him why one person sign cannot, then he ask me to ask my friend if they need two person to sign a not. I got so angry that I tell him to ask the manager himself. Yesterday, he manage to go to the restaurant and ask. The manager give him some crap answer and he accepted. We took the forms to the hotel to book our room, they also need two person to sign and our IC. He never ask why. See! I told him that I am not going to book anything anymore without him around. Yesterday I was so angry that I kept thinking why am I married to this a**h*le.
Well, I have calmed down and asked him when will he be free. He said after the chinese 7th month, he will be free. I have decided not to do anything for this period and wait until he is free before going for AD photography hunting again.
