Micar 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2006 Hi, Thanks for your advice. Actually my big day will be next year and i relly have to hear out from you ladies out there on who can recommend cos i am not a local there. I am marrying a Kuching man. And i may not have the time to liase with the makeup artist over there. So was thinking of getting hte contacts then have my HTB sister to book the Makeup artist. From the trip i recently went, i did sae some bridal shops and they looked quite taiwanese. I am looking at more sophiticated and classic look when it coems to makeup.

kittybride 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2006 hi micar, u looking for AD MUA, rite? agree wif u most BS in KCH r rather 'taiwanese' style, currently still the norm there coz there's no 'local' talent like in Sg u got Ted Wu, Frederick Lee, etc, etc. :P anw, if u hv an idea of the MU u like, u can start collecting pics as samples; next time when u go to KCH & meet the MUA, u can tell her your styles. Then have her do a trial for you. if the outcome is wat u wanted, then u got yourelf the right MUA liao! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micar 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2006 Wow thansk for the wonderful advice!! yup yup, i will start cutting out pictures of bridal makeup samples for reference purpose in Kuching. J I have never thought of dating a Kuching man and now really going to get married to him, This experience is gonna be a memorable one. I will keep record of the samples and maybe look for a bridal shop for a makrup artist. Probably cheaper? Any hot favourite bridal shop to recommend? Probably they will have really good Makeup artist there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Micar 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2006 Hi kittybride, Thank you so much for your help. Actually, I will be getting married next year. *blush blush* :P you can call me kiasu though. Well, wanna find out soon so that when i go to Kuching either later part of the year or early next year, i can let my FH sister know so that we can look for one together and book one soon. BTW, it is so difficult to get airline tickets back to Kuching for CNY. I was planning to arrive on second day of CNY. they got the tickets but when coming back is a problem, cos it will be like 10 days later ;) and i cannot afford to take so many number of days off for my work. Have you plan for your CNY? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittybride 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 hi micar, i jus came bk ystdy. i kao tim most of my bridal stuffs oredi :) so happy can finish most of them w/in ONE day! yeah... i super fast type. hee hee... since both me & FH r msian; we went to national registration board to fill up the form for civil registration in church; takes us abt 15mins & RM20. Next is to get it certified by a commissioner of oath; another 5mins & another RM8 and all kao tim liao. :) i oso managed to get my bridal bouquet & corsages confirmed; showed them the sample i wanted and they say ok. cost me RM90 for the bouquet & groom's boutonnier. Also confirmed my MUA & PG. I went to see my parish priest a day before my return to Sg; passed him the form; required documents and let him check through my wedding booklet & did the pre-nuptial inquiry with him; and all this took us less than half hour! So the important stuffs all done! :) Then went to confirm the hotel for wedding dinner. Menu will let my parents decide and invitation cards are inclusive; so save $ on printing! :) hope my little info can help u guage how much time u need to get things done there! and if ur FH's family can help, even better. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phuisan 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 kittybride, did u have a trial session with ur MUA? u showed her any samples? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittybride 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 hi phuisan, I went early; the shop just opened and MUA not there yet. Last time babaliciouz used the same MUA and had good comments; my sister in law's cousins also used the same MUA and also said her make up is natural & soft; not dramatic type. So i booked the MUA thru the BS and also asked them to show me her portfolio, quite natural lah. other charges they mentioned to me was RM20 for fake EL and also RM20 for ampoules. But hor; only make up and hair; no accessories provided. If i need; then she will charge me extra. The KCH BS said I should be able to get my own accessories from my own BS. But hor... i thk my own BS will not let me take the accessories out for 3 weeks leh... sian... wat about you? getting married in KCH too? or u're the Bintulu bride? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phuisan 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 yes, I'm the bintulu bride ;) I went for my trial last time i was there. now i got a bit worried on what's she gonna use. My hubby suggested I get some of my own comestics... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittybride 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2006 phuisan, how much u paid for ur MUA? does she include both day & nite mu & hairdo? trial session should be included rite? anyway, i got mine at RM350 for day & nite mu & hairdo. at first i call up & the consultant straight away quoted me RM480! i pretend to ask if add this how much lower u can give, etc etc etc and finally when i went there to see the MUA's portfolio; i bargain again till she gave me RM350. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micar 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 Hello Kittybride, Thank you for the wonderful information. Wow! really alot to be done in Kuching huh? I am Singaporean and my FH is a Kuching. So do we have to visit the Marriage thing to do the declaration or can just go to Malaysia Comminioner in Singapore to delcare that we are married? By the way, which BS did you go? My Fh's parents and siblings may not be able to help source unless i know the BS. Choosing a restuarant for the wedding dinner is not a problem cos his dad will help to decide. And i agree, i will keep copies of the makeup that i like for the makeup artist to help me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittybride 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2006 micar, i got many thgs to do coz mine is church wedding lor; catholic church many very leceh one lah if u really interested, i can recommend you one BS which i will also use their MUA & PG for my AD in Dec. I thk theirs is not too bad; prices can still nego & so far, only have good comments from past brides who had used them. As for the registration; it depends on whether u & FH goin to ROM in Sg or not. If already ROM in Sg, then need to submit the ROM Cert to the Msia Hi Comm to register his new status. Then will be much more easier lor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phuisan 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 kittybride, sorry for late reply, I somehow miss your posting. My MUA in bintulu charges me RM300 for both day and night, trial FOC. As she's invited to the dinner too, she'll change hairdo for my second gown. I'm thinking of another full-fledge trial few days before the AD to make sure she's comfortable with the products i bought. Dunno if she'll charge for this second trial.

No idea if she's gonna give ang pow We also asked her to take care of the hand bouquets, corsages and car deco. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
