bluberi, yeah, that's one main prob with SMU lor. but can park elsewhere then walk :X
fushcia, the list of hotels which I posted for your reference are those that I considered lor. hoho, best is free flow of beer and below $750nett.
Jas, I quite like Furama Riverfront but hubby say walls old and chipped badly. What makes it worse is the sleazy nightclub beside the hotel's entrance. Then I like Novotel but my dates all snapped up liao coz hubby don't like to sign up on the spot lor. I like Grand Plaza but he say too expensive.
snowiee, yeah, I also know Dec hot month...that's y now kanchiong. But I got backup lar...already have tentative booking with Plaza Parkroyal. Just that, if got better choice, I rather have a ballroom with higher ceiling.
