Note that i have repeated to her countless of times that im very budget..
The first incident.. Was late for my photoshoot as i collected my gown too late, she told me to go to her studio as makeup will be more precise. Being a newbie to this, i went to her studio. But little did i realise, its because she has another "client" waiting in line after me. No wonder.. So nevermind about this.. Small matter right.And initially earlier she said that she has no accessories thus need to borrow from friend, so im like ok.. how much she charge? She say below 30 and said that she will tell me the prices before she put on me and let me choose.
But it did not happen on that day. She put on me and if my memory doesnt fails me the necklace is on her table all along and she told me that total is $50. Right smack at my face.. Wow, so im rushing thus i cant be bothered to quarrel over $50 and be late for my photoshoot. And i did not bring so much $ out. Thus i asked if i can ibanking her as im rushing off. She said no, cause its her friend`s thus i have to give her now..
So my mum went and withdraw then delayed alot of time. Thus was late.. So nevermind. And by the way, she charged $40 for the necklace $10 for the ribbon on my head $10 for the hole clothy like thing and said that she dont care, take only $50 from me so as to say she "bargain" from her friend.
And she did not take the item from mid june till today, and she said that she was very busy and her fren is angry and she had to use her own $ to put in. I said from that night i waited for her call but she didnt call. She said that she was busy, and told me that i should call her?? Wow, shes busy and im not? Im preparing my own wedding..
So moving on... Today.. This is really the last straw.. 2 or 3 of her sms came keep telling me to prepare the payment.And said that is auspisous or something to give her in the morning. Thus i withdrew the remaining to shut her up and do a good job for me. And as i dont have much friends, she was my jiemei. And the $ i put in the angbao.
So morning the gate crash, she requested $88 from my hubby. And as we are new to this, never been jiemei or bro before and im not aware of it. Hubby gave her $88 in the ang bao!! And of all amount to request, 88??? From someone who says they are in a super tight and horrible budget which i shown her before.
And she said something similar to ai ya later will give you back one. But no, after the night makeup, she left.. no return of $ and no nothing. And because of my lack of financial, i actually sold some of my personal things so hard just to raise the $80.
And i had empasis that my lack of financial ALOT of times.. And the night before, she keep on psyco me to rent her tiara as keep saying its nice with it bla bla bla and say will try on me before i decide but nop, i dont want to risk it like previous time so in the middle of the night, i went all the way to mustefa just to buy my tiara. And once she saw she compare and say see this is the difference of a $10item and $40+ item. So nevermind..
And being very financially tight as my mum forced us to hold at restaurant. I actually asked her if she can at least passed back some of the money as im really really budget and this few amount really mean a great deal to me.
But she goes on about being inauspisous and say this kind of thing give already means give already. Even if she want to give back she never bring and she even claimed she never check inside. And say see never see she bring only a small bag. And btw she was using the same bag in the morning and night.
So she meaning angbao cannot fit into small bag? Well, i dont know but intially she agreed that she will use what ever accessories she has for me, but nope, and how can a mua dont have anything? And yesterday she asked me if i have accessories prepared, i say no, she say can rent but her rental minimum $30 and thats where the tiara story came in.
So, i dont care about all these things right? But the $88? She requested for it and being the new groom, he dont even know what hes doing as hes confused by her sayings and she was the one who requested for this amount.
And the $ she initially agreed after dinner pay her become dinner night and then morning.
I dont deny, her makeup skills is GOOD but her way of doing things is UNETHICAL. I just need to rant this out for you all new Brides to be to becareful of such a person. I can take this to CASE, but not sure if i should as i dont want to create so much problem and to see in another view, we are in the wrong for being stupid to anyhow pass $ to her.And now my dinner im lack of $300+ more and dont forget the wedding favors i didnt add in yet.. Imagine how much can the $80 help?
If you want her name leave ur email. shes quite popular.
