Feeling very stressed lately. Being bothered on the hotels that I had shortlisted to hold for our wedding banquet. On the other hand, work is piling up for me, which makes me unbreathable. I longed for a short break, even if it is just a night stay in Ritz Carlton or Pan Pacific , I will just be contented. But can I... sigh!!
All these weeks, Junshen & I had been hunting on hotels and running around to browse on those Grand Ballrooms and joining wedding shows conducted by the hotels... we enjoyed the process of meeting up the events coordinator to know more about the packages they had offered and the extra perks we bargain on, after which both of us will comment and do comparsion, eventually this become one of the hot topic in our daily conversation.
My "shortlisted hotel" as follows:-
1) Pan Pacific > I love the everything in it. But is out of my budget. (Rating : *****) Appt with Hotel sales :- 21 March @ 530pm.
2) M Hotel > I love the Bridal Suite. However the ballroom can only max.up to 32 tables (Rating: ****) Wedding Fair on 30 March, FOC.
3) Furamar RiverFront > I love the Venus Ballroom, looks spacious and grand. (Rating: ****) Appt with the hotel sales on 24 March.
4) Novotel > I love the Phoenix Ballroom & the private Foyer. But points deducted for the bridal suite, the bed is too low. (Rating: ***)
5) Amara Hotel > Private Foyer is personalised & the ballroom is nicely decorated with hotel themes. Only curfew is that it can only occupy 33 tables for a pillarless ballroom with long march in, once exceed the max.tables , the partion for next function will be opened up and form a "L-Shaped". (Rating: ***) Wedding Fair on 4 April.
6) Regent Hotel > The lobby is grand, no doubts on it. The ballroom is nicely decorated with hotel themes only except there's two insignificance pillars at the corners,but thumbs up for overall. (Rating: ****)
7) Orchard Hotel > The ballroom is definitely the spacious & is pillar-free with capacity of up to 100 tables. Bridal suite I would probably give 6 out of 10, as I dun really feel attached to it. (Rating: ****)
Benchmarking on the hotels, I just simply love pan pacific of all. Can we attain our goal to hold this wonderful & lovely ceremony in this dream palace? I hope for ..and pray for..... On my other mind, why can't I just get contented with any hotel!! sigh...
Beside managing our wedding planning, we finally settle another BIG thing in our life..and that is "Housing, A place where we call home"!! keke!
On 11 March 08 @ 1415pm, we finally chosen our ideal home which is under Build-To-Order (BTO) Flat scheme at Bt Panjang area "Segar Meadows". Intially, I balloted for this area because my best friend (Yanying) will also be balloting for it .And right now, she is still waiting for her turn to select the unit, but the chances of getting high floors is slimmer and slimmer..Sob! There's goes my dream of wearing pyjames to spend a night over at her house. :( right now, i wished that she can apply or purchase a resale flat near my area too. God Bless! But well, I should stop day dreaming on how to mock up my ideal house... Reason?? because the expected complete date is on 31 October 2012. Still a long long way... by the time, I wondered if i got kids le, will I still get a chance to furnish to my dream house!! well I have been seriously thinking about it. haha!
We Look Forward to this day!!
