aGnes>> how come your wedding banquet will have the increase of the 2% GST? Thought if you signed the pkg already, it should be fixed @ 5%.

Unless it's for new customers signing the package after July, then will be affected rite?


Think today will be more quiet cuz pple on leave, including our gila queen - drea.

I try to go home as much as i could (at least twice a week). So that, my Mum can "complain" to me about my dad & siblings.

thanks girls. Yes I need to think of getting someone else. You know, I'm kinda disppointed that one or two friends just seem rather unhelpful, and this is despite me going out of my way to help them during their weddings
sad.gif
Sighs, anyway, I'm telling myself that I wanted to help them anyway and I shouldn't be expecting anything back. But I guess with the stress now that the wedding's so close, I wish I got more support from them. Thankfully there are a whole lot of others who have offered to help. Funnily some of these friends aren't even that close (or so I thought) but they seem more excited and helpful than those I thought should! life is funny.

Happy CNY!!!!!! woooooooo....

huh, Jas...if cut-off date is 31 Dec, then I boh hua liao...sniff....mutters, should have just changed my IC address when I got the keys. sigh.

I still don't really see how the package will help us lor...besides the GST offset package (which isn't a lot, to be frank). There aren't much done for middle-class income earners like us. hmmm...

jas, izit??? i hope so leh.. den can get more $$ liao. my ic address is my sis's 4-rm. aiyo, shd haf put my mum's 3-rm but too bad we rented it out.

i better go n get my dining table, coffee table and other household appliances b4 the GST goes up in july.

junie, coz my banquet contract indicates that the price is subjected to prevailing GST. which means if GST increase, i also muz pay according to the GST rate at dat time.

Mei, heheh i think most of us go back home to "complain" to our Mums!

Yup, its better for the son to tell our MILs about it... Even though our hubbys can tell us that its alright to tell our MILs about our decisions or whims etcc...

hi all, no lar, i din do much. although i have the hp no. of the boss, but i purposely called the shop and get the staff to tell that boss to call me. i really shout at them despite im having bad sore throat. i told them im very unhappy with the way they do things and if they dont settle by today, i will bring the issue to CASE. so, that's how it ended they rubbish. the next day, i lost my voice. the sore throat has been there since i was at taiwan. Company doc sucks and i always has to use my own money to visit other doc and im so much better today after yest visit

lastly, wish all of you a happy chinese new year

Hi junie

Which hotel are u holding ur banquet tt gives u nett price?

Cos i also had a nett price banquet but the hotel sent an email to say it will not absorb the GST increase. Which i feel is so unreasonable cos i hv signed the contract which is nett price at the prevailing taxes (5% GST then).

Has your hotel informed u that the nett price will not change with the GST increase?

Mine is M Hotel.

Iced Latte, maybe you want to read the T&C of the contract you signed.

I think for M Hotel, they are absorbing cuz even for their 2007 package, now they have a promo that absorbs the 7% GST.

wah...drea, so shiok!! I'm now slowly killing time. sniff, Franz already off work. Nobody to chit chat with me via email. sianz...

yeah Jas/Agnes, we should be confirming an ID soon after we see the 3D drawings from him lor. Hopefully beginning March start reno, then can buy all the stuff.

Jas ah...how come never use electricity still need to pay?? Electricity got minimum charges huh? Like that, might as well switch to City Gas?

Ice Latte, my hotel is nett priced. Before I signed the contract, already clarified with the co-ordinator. She say even with the GST hike, it will still remain as the price stated in the contract.

drea>> april shld be able to get flights lah..cuz non-peak. Just maybe atad bit more costlier cuz bookings not made early.

PL>> u all shortlist ID liao ah? mine tell me which one?
 
G

gregina

New Member
Junie, haha, to be frank, all along we only shortlisted one. But we still went ahead to ask for more quotations in the hopes of finding IDs that adhered to our theme.

Don't mind telling lar. It's Max from Uberdesignhouse. A new startup lor (in fact, it's a one-man show...) which is why we are still hestitating to confirm him.

PL>> same here! We only shortlisted one..and cuz the ID is the only one who reverted to us. haha.

But we compared his quote with some others we got from other pple as a reference and also checked it with one of my HB's buddy who is a main-con for house reno.

Though he may not be the cheapest, we felt the most comfy with him. Very patience & accommodating.
