i'm planning to sign up for aerobics class too.. after hearing from th gals here... keke..

ya muz lose weight.. hai hehe muz keep it up till 2006... :P

KSbride ah..
dun worrie u can go and apply a flat now.. and produce ur ROM cert later.. it's fine w HDB.. as long as u can show prove of ur extension of the ROM cert..
 


Hi hi ladies...

ling, i haven start yet. cos i gog for minor ops soon, so doc advise against all kinds of exercise. so will start after the ops. also also planning to join cindee at amore (if she signed up already) later this yr.

cyndear, hihi.... since u looking at santiago also, y not u consider taking over blur's package
happy.gif
?

same as u gals, i wont skip in my house, think will go corridor skip. if not neighbour will come up complain..... someone mentioned skipping at corridor like siao char bo rite? looks like i am going to be one... keke.....
 
Rachel,
But tot the max extension of cert is only abt 1yr? If I apply this yr, I need to wait till abt 2yrs then can hand in my cert. Dun think HDB will allow that right?
 
Blur, KSbride...
for 20-25 tables...have u looked at GoodWood? their package for Mon-Fri is $628+++ i personally quite like their ballroom.

Alternative:

Hyatt 708(wday) 868(Fri, sun) 888(sat) (all nett)
Merchant Court 640 or 570+++(wday) 630-650+++(wend)

These are the few that i personally like the ballroom and the food is supposed to be quite ok...not too bad kind...

I do have a lot of other packages as well...if u have a hotel in mind, can let me know...
 
yup...MC haven release their 2006 package yet...even the Aug-Dec05 package is not out yet...

I also targeting MC. so far, their package is the best...within my budget and ballroom is pillarless...and food a lot of ppl say not bad.
 
bugbear ah, i thought MC must have minimum of 35 tables? i was targeting there but gave up when i saw 35 tables
sad.gif

i heard goodwood got pillars? and hyatt is quite dark?

so far i only shortlist hyatt and club chinos.. any comments?
 
Hi KSBride,
Yup, mine is a resale flat..chose AMK cos its quite centralised to town area..actually wanted to get a Toa Payoh flat but more ex$..so settled for AMK instead since in-laws may get their flat in AMK after they sell their current flat in Admiralty. They say they still prefer to stay in AMK (they have been staying there since my FH was borned)
biggrin.gif


Hiya Racherlle,
I am staying with my in-laws at the moment bfore i start renovating my flat.. they are staying at Admiralty, so Civic Plaza seems the closest to ADM..unless i wanna go to other branches near town after work. Heard that after u sign up with Amore, u can travel ard the branches rite? jus called and book the class u want for that certain day at the certain branch.
happy.gif
Not confirmed whether wanna sign up anot.. no kakis leh..one person attending class very funny..keke.
 
ksbride ah..
shldn't be a problem..
coz mine i tink from the date i take my keys to the date i ROM.. will be like 1 1/2 years or more..
coz if u take new flats.. shldn't b a prob..
if u get resale then i'm not too sure...
 
haros cyndear..

actually i joined Amore like i tink.. 8 years back.. haha when i was in Secondary School...
then i stopped going.. with all my activities building up..juz checked with them tat my records are still there.. but the address is my old address in Clementi..
happy.gif
so i need not pay the registration fees again.... i was tinking of getting a personal trainer! hmmmm
 
rachel,
icic, i'll be going for new flats. Will be waiting for more WIS/BTO to be available. Hope able to find one that i really like in terms of view and location.

cyndear,
me oso quite like AMK and TP area. Many gd foods around especially if u near the central/interchange area. Too bad no new flats around. If not take I'll grab!

How much does the membership cost for AMORE?
BTW, any1 had any recommendations on places helping to do animation video for AD?
Saw from other sites on Stefine. Any other choices?
 
Bugbear,
I am looking at a budget of $500 or less (for WkDay) and $600 or less (for Wkend). Novotel is charging at $488 (wkday) and $688(wkend). A difference of $200.00 leh.. normally most hotels charge $100 plus more for wkends rite? funny leh..

Hi Yami,
I didn't even stepped into Santiago leh Yami cos whilst i was browsing the album outside the shop, there's this guy who wore specs that came forward to ask us how he can helped us, when we told him we are hunting for a BS, he asked us when is our planned AD, we told him smwhere in March 2006. Upon hearing our reply,his face "changed" immediately (i guess he must be tinking how come getting married in 2006 now already hunt ard for BS). Then my FH asked him what are the packages like, he said he can't disclose to us.. funny rite? if can't disclose, how do we know how good is their package. It was my first stop for my hunting leh and i felt a bucket of cold water being poured over my head when he said that..
angry.gif
True lah, i may not be signing up with them right on the spot on that day but his reactions is so "practical". Getting married in 2006 doesn't mean that i won't sign up with him in advance..sigh..
 
Racherlle,
Why don't u consider California Fitness if you are not taking up classes? At least they got more treadmills and exercising equipments there. I did consider there but waiting to c whether i can sign up together with my FH so that we can get the Couple Rate of abt $40 plus.. heard fm my cousin that they offered him this "couple rate" thing when he wanted to sign up. He is a member there already.
happy.gif


KSBide,
I think jus recently AMK just released a batch of walk-in 4rms flat is it? If u are still interested, u can check it out with HDB or does anyone hear noes about this piece of news?
smile.gif
 
cyndear,
Waaa....wat a bad attitude!
alright, shall not include Santiago in my BS list. Customer service especially the after-sale service is one of my consideration in choosing a BS. Those staffs got attitude prob wan I'll definitely not choose.
 
aiyo cyndear their service so jialet ah.. lucky managed to convince my FH to change BS..
anyway, i dun mind forgoing my deposit la.. but u gers jus beware loh.. if before sales service already like tat how to expect more.. really horrible leh.. anyway it's good that they dun let you step in la.. else i think you also difficult to step out without signing
happy.gif
 
couple rate for $40+ only at Cali?? Thats a one day rate??

I've been at Cali for 10 days (a free temp pass) and their gym equipment and classes are really very gd. But their yrly membership is really expensive. hence did not further sign up.
My friend really fortunate, she get to go Cali for free as its one of the staff benefits in her company..so envy!!

AMK have WIS new flats?? Only know till end this mth they have hougang,punggol and sengkang.
 
cyndear ah..
dun tink i wan to go so far juz to exercise.. coz my workplace is also not in town area..
so i rather go to somewhere near my house.. after all the exercising can go home faster.. :P

hmmmm cali only at $40 plus??? tat's very cheap leh... somemore for 2????
hmmmmmmmmm
 
Blur,
Yah lor, the previous two BS i went to at IMM really almost "planted" my feet to their ground.. haha.. cos their package seems good enuf to my budget.. haha..but then i am still "open" to other BS packages..so decided to "shop" ard more cos like KSBride, i also thinking of signing up for the BS smwhere round dec to feb. From now till dec, got to plan which place t hold the banquet lor.
wink.gif


KSBride
No lah, Bride...the $40+ is for per month per pax.. thats wat my cousin said lah..dunno how true lor.i can oni check it ou if i confirmed signng. I jog ard after works twice a wk wif my colleagues, so not sure whether i can still "take it" at the gym anot.. hahaha..

That time my FH attended their one day trial at Raffles Pl and was immediately persuauded to sign up for their membership even bfore he takes on the treadmill.. haha.. when he said he nds time to consider, they kept calling him up to persuade him to sign and even reduced the price much much lower jus to entice him into joining..

I think they opened up a WIS of the blocks smwhere ard the central of AMK if i am not wrong.. i can't really rem leh cos by that time i already gotten my flat (this year Mar 2004) lor...u want to try HDB website?
 
ksbride ah..
i tink have to pay a $30 plus for registration..
they have different packages..
some r purely aerobics..
another include tings like yoga, pilates..
and the price also dpends on hw many times u r planning to go a week or unlimited.... i forgot the pricing already...

i tink they also have a package for using the gym...
 
yo racherlle,
wink.gif

Which part of SG are u staying at racher?

The Cali $40+ is for per pax if sign up as a couple, accordning to my cousin lor.. quite worth it but then they oni hv two locations, a bit troublesome if i worked late at work and have to go there work out then go back to Admiralty lor.If only Amore has Gym plans. That time i asked them and they said if i uses the gym once, it will be considered as one class..etc. 12 lessons per month- if visit the gym for that day, minus 1 lesson fm the 12 lessons..
 
Blur..sorry...forgot abt the min table number...
For good wood...i think if u have less tables...u just use the ballroom...don use the wings...then it won be blocked...but i have no idea how many tables the ballroom w/o wings can accomodate.

For hyatt...the ballroom i viewed, they have a spotlight shinning on each table...which is the thing i like abt it...and the ballroom gives a very cosy feel...

Actually, just over the weekends, i happen to be having lunch at hotel new otani...and i hopped over to look at their ballroom...it's surprisingly good. very smiliar to merchant court ballroom...and the foyer is also very big and nice...but i think they have a min of 35 for weekends...not too sure for weekdays tho...
 
cyndear....santiago so lousy attitute...
sad.gif
i think the service is one of the most impt criteria when i select BS so i prob wont go to those with not so gd reputation...

i find it hard to go into BS cos they realli hardsell and i m scare that i sign up under pressure...i heard of couples kena stuck at BS for mroe than 2 hours...

KS bride u can check out the website Cindee posted earlier for AMore membership:-) should be in Archive through July 26, 2004...our thread moving too fast liaoz.

dubdub & bugbear , looks like we r targeting merhant court. hope we r not having AD on the same day yah. my FH says the food is gd there.
happy.gif

i was thinkin if i book my banquet for 2006 there early, maybe they will give me a concessionery ROM pakcage for 2005. :P

bugbear, can we book for open date? cos i have seek gemancer or tongshu, so even if i wanna book MC for 2006 once they open for booking, i need to wait for tongshu to be out mah. anyone else knows???
 
cyndear,
yaa last time I went they also keep persuade me to sign up.But me n my friend determination quite gd lah, No means No..hehe..
HDB site doesnt have WIS at AMK area. Mayb now no more liao.

rachel,
so the membership is more like for individual classes. I tot is like Cali, where u sign up for 1yr, then u get to use the gym and free classes.
 
cyndear, maybe for BS you can also visit J&M at Tanjong Pager.. they photographer is really friendly and their photos turn out very nice
happy.gif
the gowns featured in magazines also looks good.. they had promo 1-2 mths back but i dunno if it's still available.. i think the package is quite good
happy.gif
u may wanna read on their comments in the other forum
happy.gif
 
Cyndear, for weekends, it's about $700 & $760 (after the +++)
For weekdays, it's about 30+++ cheaper...i don have the actual package in soft-copy...let me go back and check...will let u know the exact...and the plus point abt otani is that with 35 tables, they will throw in 50l of beer and 24 bottles of wine...and if have mroe tables, the perks increases as well...the food is prepared by the chef who cooks previously at taiken-en.
 
haros cyndear..
i'm living in Woodlands now..
will move to Sembawang in 2006..

yami ah..
i tink the price list is not updated..
happy.gif

coz some of the pricing is like sooo long ago! :P
 
Rachel,
how much is the package at rasa and beaufort?Think you went to view the ballroom already right?

Me n my FH really like the sea and oso got think of sentosa. But scared guest might find it inconvi to go especially those without cars. And they still need to pay for the entrance fees when coming for my AD?!
 
Yami & Ksbride,
I was trying to absorb wat the 2BS i went to IMM was telling me whist sitting there together with my FH. Its even more tiring then attending lectures.. wah phiang.. keke..1.5 hrs each shop.. luckily i didn't outdo the record of 2 hrs that u are toking about, yami dear.. keke..
wink.gif


dear blur, will pay extra attention to J&M if i am hunting down BS again this wkend.. *sweating* Thanks for telling.
happy.gif


Thanks Bug Bear for helping me check out otani's rates. arigato.

BTw my dear ladies, i have collected sm brochures for most of the hotels in orchard but its at my FH's house. I am going back to my parents' house today.. so if u nd any rates of certain hotels in orchard, pls feel free to let me know and i will flip thru the brochures when i am at his house tomolo nite.
wink.gif
 
I think beaufort provide complimentary passes and vehicle passes for the wedding guest leh cos that time when i attended my boss wedding, in her invitaion card got enclose two complmentary entry passes and one vehicle pass lor..thats y me and FH no nd to pay anything when driving in.. they also got provide free shuttle bus service in to beaufort too if i am not wrong.
wink.gif
 
ksbride and cyndear ah..

yup i went to both hotels and view their ballrooms and surroundings already.. i love the white fence and also the beach area for the solemnization for Rasa!! very romantic!!!!
happy.gif

beaufort is beautiful too.. very serene.. was holding quite high hopes before the visit but was quite disappointed w the ballrooms...
happy.gif
Rasa esp weekends very crowded esp the pool area.. geee..

actually both hotels also give free passes in to Sentosa.. but for Rasa.. i tink there's a limit.. i can't remember..

ya parking is very very inconvenient for Rasa esp they closed off the area at the beach which could be used for parking last time..
sad.gif
but they have free buses which they can allocate to u.. so u can actually arrange for ur guests living at different areas at different pickup locations.. 5 buses then 5 locations.. i tink is 1 bus per 5 tables.. each bus can take up to 45 pple..

heee.. i'm waiting for the wedding show in Rasa in November.. then most likely will go and see wat freebies they offer.. if they are gd.. then most prob i will sign up w them..
 
parking is not a problem in beaufort
as u can also use the beaufort golf club's parking which is juz like 5 mins walk to the main ballroom...

definitely a big prob for rasa.. coz there are like only 50 carpark lots there..
 
hi bugbear

you said tt flamingo dun provide photography rite? if i just wanna take the gown...do u hv any idea how much it would be huh? yet to sign with the BS i wanted. BF and I love the photography alot so will surely sign with our BS. but not sure abt the gowns lei. sighz
