Hi gals! Just came back from Newton Food Centre. Full & sleepy. Zzz....
Yvonne,
Envy u! So slim. Wish I could just lose a few kilos, I'll be very happy already *sigh* Yes, send me the Amore package too. Or u could bring it along on Tue's gathering?
silver,
Oops! I think my hp wasn't re-activated when ur bf called me. Rem I had to cancel the SIM card when I lost my hp. I was thinking, before Tue's gathering, maybe can pop into PF for a tour. How long does the tour take? I think I'll see whether I got the commitment to sign for 2 yrs, if not, then better be conseravative & try for 1 yr first. I'm very sacred now a/f my CF experience.
Ever,
U want ur bf to be 'bian tai' like mine? Er.. ok.. whatever suits u!
I'm also very confused now abt who is who. Got so many more additions to our small initial gp.
Jan,
Yeah, I also prefer to get contractors who are recommended by frens. Much safer coz can see their workmanship. I also dun go gym. I think so far, it's ever & yvonne right? Soon silver will join them, left only me not exercising!
Yan,
Aiyoh what happened with the contact lens? Didn't manage to find it? I think it's weird, 11 am & the shops are not open yet? Strange. *yippee* Can see ur photos too *clap clap*
Zen,
Hallo there! So u're looking at 25 Jul for ur wedding?
Sagi,
U're back! So u're joining us for Operation Disclosure too? Good! The gp's getting bigger! I also can't speak much dialect. I'm much better at Singlish *hee*

Hi silver,
I think I'd prefer to see the branch at Suntec on Tue. Me lazy, want to kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone *hehe*
Hi Yvonne,
Me had fishball noodles, fried oyster egg (w/o oyster) & huge cup of sugarcane. Mine's a 5 rm premium. For us, it's not a matter of how much we wanna spend. But how much we can afford, coz fiance doesn't wanna get reno loan. so hope reno + furniture+ + applianes, at most $30k. Cannot have leeway to exceed already, cash-tight!

Hi Ever,
We intend to get a 4rooms but it all depends on situations... we might change to 5rooms/resale flat due to location, price and size of the flat...etc. We just try our luck on queenstown balloting while waiting for HDB to announce the sales of the other areas like Punggol/sengkang...hee! I heard the queenstown 4rooms is abt 200K-260K! Quite X hoh but that location is quite centralise! My bf said we just ballot and see what are the units avail then decide lor (might not get it also). Anyway is only $10 internet registration fee so just go for it.

Hi silver,
thanks. will check out the pricing for blue ginger. they serve peranakan food yeah?
Hi forest/binbin,
bingo bingo...it's at LKY's ward! I dun really noe the pricing of a 5-rm flat but i think it shld be quite expensive. i heard booking only starts in 2004 and the flat will be completed in 2007. i dun even noe how HDB is going to allocate the flats. If it's balloting, then got to pray pray already...dun play play ah...sculy no flat to stay ah...
The flats that forest is tokking about are all rental flats. Think they will start construction in Sept.
Rasa ah...too expensive leh...think it's about $48 (or it's $60) per pax.
Heard abt the alkaff mansion change in management...hmmm...Kinda of know that HPL is the current leasor of the place and runs the restaurant. They leased it from STB. Think they are not renewing the lease, hence another mgt will most prob takeover.
*sigh* i think i'm the most fickle minded gal here...tat's y a lot of things not settled!

Hi Yvonne,
Ya my bf working in PF as sales. You are rite - CF is their direct competitors as compared to Amore. Think gals go Amore more for classes.
Hey so which area of queenstown did you apply? My bf n I initally wanted to take part in the balloting too but after considering find it too X so decided to wait for next WIS for sengkang/punggol. I ve news saying that the next WIS in Aug (not sure how true)

Hi Ino,
Yup they serve paranakan food but for buffet they ve quite a few choice. I was accompany my gf there last wk as she is looking for venue for her ROM. If I did not remember wrongly, theirs starts from $25/30+++ per pax and you can ve it either at 2nd or 3rd level. Their 3rd level is mainly for function so you can ve the whole place to urself

Karyinn's eyes drop 0_o... so many msg eheh..
Well for me, I not intend to apply new flat or buy resales flat.
Reasons are:
This 4 room flat which I am staying was put under my name (first name, follow by my mother)
.. So if i am to buy a new flat or resales flat, HDB want me to surrender the exisiting one
.
Another reason is because, currently the economy really bad, I very worry we might not be able to pay the loan if we "touch wood first" face economy problem ;(...
Lastly, is because I LOVE this location
... dun want to move away. Downstair, have clinic, multi storey carpark, NTUC, Provision shops. Market nearby
...
So, my bf will temporary move into my house after marry lor.. stay a few more years then decide if to apply or buy flat ... ;>
We ever thought of putting my Bf name in this HDB flat, but if redo documentation. HDB will consider I apply HDB second time. Infuture, if I apply house will have to take loan from Bank instead of HDB low interest rate loan ;<...for Long Run NOT worth~~~

Hi Evon,
Oh is that right? Think better not tell my fren, if not she sure 'kek sim'!
Hi anniesem,
For banquet, i first set a budget per table. That helps to shortlist some. Then by further identifying the no. of tables i'll need will elimate your choices further.
For bridal, I think better set budget first also and decide if you want MTM or OTR. But think you need to roughly know what styles you like cos diff shops specialise in diff styles. For this, think you'll need to visit the shops liao.

Jul, for me, i prefer to take a bit of loan to do up my house nicely... since we'll be staying there for at least 5 yrs... maybe you two can talk to contractors/designers first, then decide loh... maybe take like, 10k or something... at least more liquid... hav some cash on hand for wedding next yr!! or maybe buy electrical appliances on interest free instalments?!?! then will be better... ya, me cant imagine buying toa payoh flats!!!! hahahahaha... that's why me bought EC after failing to select punggol flats on two occasions!!! cant imagine paying so much for a flat!!!
Wow, seems like yan & jul got program before our operation disclosure!!!
yvonne, maybe you & silver can take turns to queue loh... sure got people queue for punggol flats, cos those who wanna stay in the east/north-east and wanted new flats only hav sengkang and punggol to choose from....

Ever, good suggestion but I stl dun noe whether izit worth it anot? Other alternatives is to buy resale or new flat at other area. Sigh... why gov make life so diff for our 1st timer!!! Why implement WIS and not by efiling/ebooking???
Silver, lets keep each other update on the punggol/sengkang news ya?

Hi Karyinn,
True true, ve to think twice b4 adding names cos my sis was affected becos of this problem. Well, as long as ur bf dun mind moving in, I dun see any problem too.
Hi Yvonne,
I agreed wif you! Imagine we ve to work how to q for day n nites? Sigh.... My client even suggested to help each other to q. Looks like I ve another accompany here hehehe
Hi ever,
Ya dan for the few days you will not see Yvonne n me online. hehehe

hahahahaha..... well, for your love nests, we guess we hav to miss you gals for a few days loh!!
yvonne, i dont think buying resale flats is worthwhile leh... usually gotta pay some cash when they sell above valuation... esp. recently when 3-rm and 4-rm very "hot"!!! hhmmmm.... plus you need to do add'l reno for resale flats, such as repair pipings, windows etc... all these $$ can be saved if you get a new flat... but of course, location of new flats may not be as good.... as for new flats in other areas, it depends on you and yr bf's preference... and must consider the resale value.... for eg, my fren bought a 5-rm at woodlands two yrs ago. Until now, she doesnt hav lots of neighbours yet!!! so, i guess the flats there are not very popular and she may hav difficulty selling hers next time...

hi ino, when i was sourcing for ROM venue i considered blue ginger too. as well as burkill hall (to exp), rasa and beaufort (too exp too hehehee....). i like blue ginger coz the service rendered was superb! u can look for Alan. he's a service-oriented guy. i had to hold my solemnisation early. he said no problem, will get his staff to come down early to set up everything, no extra cost for the early business. I then thought of having my solemnisation at botanic gardens bandstand, then go to blue ginger for lunch. he said no problem, he will provide chairs and solemnisation table (nice with tablecloth) for me at a min charge and get his guys to transport there. At the same time, he can also provide a contingency solemnisation venue for me in the 3rd level of his building in case of rain. He's unbeatable man.... and their price is reasonable.
$30+++ for 9 course sit down lunch!
The food is real yummy....was salivating. but in the end we din choose coz it was not exactly the garden kinda atmosphere loh. and we were loooking for garden. and we have more than 60 so we have to split 2 floors. though some ppl like the idea we scared our family complained.
they have 3 stories like what silver said. if you have more than 50 plus ppl, they will give you 2 floors totally to yourself. if less than 50, will still get 2 floors, and one floor will be entirely devoted to solemnisation I think. the ambience is nice....very authentic, soft and cosy. if u wish to solemnise in the place itself, they will set up the 3rd floor entirely for you for the ceremony. with chairs and tables. after the ceremony, everyone will proceed to the 2nd floor for drinks, while the staff re arrange the 3rf floor for sit down lunch. then some guests will go up, some will remain in 2nd. but of course if your guest is less than 50, u can have all situated at the 2nd floor for lunch, and solemnise at 3rd floor. neater...
good luck! hope this helps.....but better to call them up talk to Alan. He will help you...

they have 3 stories like what silver said. if you have more than 50 plus ppl, they will give you 2 floors totally to yourself. if less than 50, will still get 2 floors, and one floor will be entirely devoted to solemnisation I think. the ambience is nice....very authentic, soft and cosy. if u wish to solemnise in the place itself, they will set up the 3rd floor entirely for you for the ceremony. with chairs and tables. after the ceremony, everyone will proceed to the 2nd floor for drinks, while the staff re arrange the 3rf floor for sit down lunch. then some guests will go up, some will remain in 2nd. but of course if your guest is less than 50, u can have all situated at the 2nd floor for lunch, and solemnise at 3rd floor. neater...
good luck! hope this helps.....but better to call them up talk to Alan. He will help you...
Oh gosh, Yvonne, thanks for the news but not a good news.. so sad...
Oh btw, i got my flat last year already, it's a 5rm in sengkang...
Resale is not cheap and gotta spend more for reno! But u get to choose the lay out that u like and the area of coz! Whereas nowadays for new flats, it's kinda standard lay out.
