One more down..erm many more to go!
Ok..another milestone!! We finally decided on a studio and placed deposit for our photoshoot!! We decided to take a walk along Tanjong Pagar Rd to look at wedding studios after having dinner with my parents at Murray Terrace, Maxwell..Its our fav haunt for Chinese guo-ties, jiao-zhi and zha-jiang mian..this place called Fong Ji. Cheap and very good! Apparently, while browsing the MakanSutra book at Borders, we realised its actually the best place for such stuff with like erm 4 chopsticks rating?? Haha! Never knew that!
Hmm..while studio browsing..we went into the first one studio we saw..didnt really like the package and photos..was just ok I guess..nothing too fantastic..so we walked on and went into Milan..and Shan was really thrilled with the bridal gowns..and of cos, the really good service. Some studios we went to previously don't even allow you to see their bridal dresses..wtf right??
I must say that the gowns are really really nice..but then, must of cos, must see who's my bride mah, hor? :)
Anyway, had a mama-drama at the studio..before I could even browse ard, my dad frantically alerted me of..ninja turtles !!(aka parking officers on cheapo white scooters). Like a typical Singaporean, I made a 200metre dash.. rushing out of the studio..to get my car..I went into the car and drove off..but I saw them furiously scribbling on their notepads..not sure if I'll be issued a ticket..%^$&$@@. I have to hand in to them for being so hard-working..its a freakin' Sat night!
After making my 'escape', I walked back to the studio and Shan and the sales rep were already negotiating haha! Frankly, I didn't think the prices were that economical! We've been offered much better packages although I must say that their service and photos look happening..not like u know, those typical cheena style ones..red red all over, frozen smile and pose and click kind..yeeks!
Anyway, like a true blue EDUCATED Ah Beng, I had to 'muscle in' to get better bargains from them, in the most polite and civilised way of course. HAHA! Seems like they are having some 10-yr anniversary promo..not sure true or not..but in the end not bad la..not sure if the bargaining helped..but its a $2988 package..with actual day photography, 30 large pics and the usual stuff..etcetc Maybe I should have bang table, shout some vulgarities can discount more HAHAHA!
Phew, one more item struck off the TO-DO-LIST! We'll be choosing the clothes in Nov and actual shoot next Jan 2007. Next, we'll get wedding bands..do up the guest list..etcetc. More updates soon!
