Raine> Hi! Welcome to this thread! There's a post abt Merchant Court in our achives, i've posted it here for ur reference. Mayb u can take note of tis:
"To those going for Merchant Court's Wedding Show:
This is the latest news on the hotel....
"SWISSOTEL Merchant Court, a 476-room hotel near Clarke Quay, has been put up for sale by global tender.
It could fetch about $350 million, given the growth potential in Singapore’s hospitality sector, consultants said. Room rates start from about $250 a night, hotel booking websites show.
‘A hotel in (that) location can fetch around $700,000 to $800,000 per key,?said Mr Mike Batchelor, managing director of Asia investment sales for Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, which is handling the sale.
...Swissotel Merchant Court recently went through a multimillion-dollar refurbishment, hence its contemporary-style rooms now provide a platform for future revenue growth.."
This was dated 29th Aug 2008... And I got this off http://singaporepropertyfrontiers.com/ so it means that the hotel food standard will prob change because there'll prob be new management and ultimately resignation/new appointments of cooks etc.. Could be very good news OR just the opposite. Do try to find out more first BEFORE signing up with hotel banquet"

Hi ALicia, opps~ Sentence construction abit wrong, paisay! I've ROM already w Prof Yu as our JP, would be more correct.

I am intending to hold my solmnisation ceremony next yr there..... Did anyone go to this wedding show? Care to share the packages that they offer?

Hi gals.. hvent log on for a few days n it's so active!! Kinda lose track liao =P
Welcome to all who hv juz joined!
I hv probs accessing my yahoo email so here's the transport contacts promised earlier:
Million Bus Transport Services (tel: 6454 3972)
Singapore Explorer (tel: 6339 6833)
ACE Transit - Simon (tel: 9455 6401)
Generally the companies offer 19 seaters (mini-bus) and 44 seaters (regular tour bus). Charges around $100-120 (can't rem if it's per way or both ways). But do note that if you have multiple destinations/pick-up points the charges will be different. Some companies also charge differently for diff timings of the day and the time period you require the bus services.
CATS's bridal show is happening this weekend at the square in front of Carrefour (my office juz upstairs heehee). They are still building now so I cant see who is participating. They take up whole area so should be quite a few BSes participating. Will update you all again when i go down for lunch.. sneak around to see if i can find out more =)
The last time I applied for HLE it took 3 weeks to come back.. not sure if they have a standard issue time.. but applied at the wrong time cos the three months it was valid for, nothing interesting came up.. if you are keen to apply for HLE, mayb can start applying now in anticipation for the Oct release.
There was a short discussion re. ang bao box... i am a little confuse over how it works.. typically i see only one box at the recep but then the ang baos comes from both the guy's side and the gal's side.. so how to split? My mum say it's better to separate especially if the guy side is going to give tables to the girl side.. anyone got suggestions?
Hmmm... seems like I am the only June BTB now...

Hi cymk welcome back =)
i tink e ang bao is better to spilt into 2 boxes as u might wan to do a record on the amt of ang bao given by who & who. n spilt into 2 boxes will help u do e recoding between u n ur hubby much more easier =)
u consult shifu for ur dates as well or just by calendar?

Vivi> Haha! Ok!
cymk> Thanks for the info on the bus charter. Regarding the bridal show, according to the newpaper today, the participating merchants are: Bridal de Couture; Fame Bridal Boutique; Sattine Bridal Couture; L* Belle Couture; Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel; Victorious Gems; i Wedding Collection; Romantic Life Wedding & Photography; My Dream Wedding; White Link; Rapellez-Relax, Rivive, Rejoice; Yvonne Creative Bridal & Photo Studio; Bliss Bridal Creations; X-Zen Studio; NorthWest Interior Design; ISS-CDCS Catering and Bridal Concept.
As for the ang pow box, my dad told my sis tat those ang pows given/collected from our side of relatives will all gif my dad, out of wich he'll take abt $5k, den the rest gif the couple to settle bilss & stuffs. My dad say he ask for 10 tables and the pin jin any amt oso can, so the ang pows for the 10 tables shld go to him/mum instead of the couple (asked my 2 colleagues who were oso married, & they said the same ting as my dad).

i tink it depends on individual
I checked with my married colleague, there are 2 scenario:
1. our parents ask for a certain amount of pin jin & numbers of tables, but the ang pow collection from relatives will pass to the couple to cover the cost of the dinner.
2. our parents don't ask or very minimal sum (e.g. less than $500?) of pin jin & tables (our parents fork out the cost of our side tables) but keep whatever their collection of ang pow from our side of relatives.

mm&pw> Den do u noe wat abt the ang pow to bride's mum for thanking her for changing our nappies?
hmm.. this is the first time i hear of a nappy ang pao... but i m sure our mums wun mind... extra ka-ching ($) to doll up themselves for our big night haha.
I din manage to see all the booths but I think Alicia's list should b the full one. I saw Satine, Bliss, White Link, Mercure Roxy Hotel, L* Belle, My Dream Wedding and Rapellez (think it's a spa).. still setting up so i din wan to roam around
i was thinking split ang pao box easier in case got relatives throw in wrongly when they shld pass to our parents.. can be fish out easily and return to our parents discreetly. I feel it's not very nice to take out from central pool after the dinner when you are counting the money in front of so many ppl =/
Alicia > split two boxes means girl side invitees throw into girl side ang pao box and vice versa for the boy side.. so there will be clear accountability the ang paos come from which side, esp if relatives/frenz dun hv the habit of writing names on the ang pao. Also good if relatives throw into the box accidentally (see my remark above)
DnA > I think not all girl side ang pao goes to us right? Cos i thot its dependent on wat the nego is like between girl side and boy side parents. E.g. boy side only give 5 tables but girl side relatives got 7 tables, then girl side can only take ang paos for the 5 tables.. the rest of the 2 tables goes back into paying for the dinner. At least tt's wat i thot.
