hi yami, i posted at another thread so juz paste here lah...kekeke...
i juz finished watching my 1hr45mins unedited AD DVD....am so happy abt the whole recording. As its a no-frill thingy, my criteria are very simple. 1) Capture impt moments 2) Stable hands coz I asked my frd to videographed my ROM and the whole recording was shaky 3) No frill, no hidden cost, no need editing n montage 4) Cheap n reliable 5) Good enuff equipement & skill as mine is an outdoor nite event where external flash cannot b used coz if we flash strong lighting at guests will make them uneasy and make the whole wedding not so cozy...like filming...eeee...
For $168 to capture a 4hrs event with 2 mini-tapes, 1 DVD unedited - I find my $$$ well-spent. Actually b4 I engaged them I never even seen their work b4/ visit their website...hahaha.. coz it was a very last minute thingy tat we decided to outsource videography. My frd gave me the contact (she never tried them b4 too..kekeke) n I called them on the eve of my AD
They oso rent out equipements if u keen to get own frds to help recording it. A normal video cam rental is only $16 per day....cheap rite?!!! And they oso have projector n screen rental which i find tat the rate is cheaper than hotel's offer.
If u gers keen on no frill, non-fanciful videography can check this out loh. Oh they actually do editing too but I din opt for tat so dunno how is the skill for tat. Call look for Danny @ 97908177. Can say Christine intro one.

thanks coyote, i will contact them
HiHi,
D.O.G - u v cute leh, asking us to arbish u if u mention it again hahah. *imagine the actions* hehe. okok i wil go and work on my pix. Hey I waited qutie a while for my pix & videos too, its like tat, got to wait till the neck touch the floor.
tare: the new member still filling in the forms for application. hehehehe.. hey any pix to share share liao?
Renee: Heard furama has a car park problem, u may want to take note of it. Cos public tends to park at their car park when they cannot find any outside. So leads to not enuff car parks for guest... even with the complimentary pass. Furama was one of my choices then too, I LOVE their suite and the view fr it, it got the WOW factor.
BTW: Amara's suite is good too, i find it functionable. cos the living rm & bedrm have its own door and it useful when my hubby's brother came knocking and I was still in my PJ, I just close the connecting door. My Jie Meis can come in fr the other door. * Haha , y am I alwasy singing Amara's prasieses *

Hi Joelle,
Thanks for highlighting to me. Will check with hotel on the car park issue.
Furama suite is not bad... I was surprised that they hv the jacuzzi bathtub, can 'yuan(1) yang(1) xi(4) shui(3)' with my hubby... hehe. Their living rm area is bit small lor.
During the Amara bridal show, we managed to view the suite... quite like the idea of seperate doors, more privacy. The suite I saw was facing the construction site so the outside view is not very nice. On the whole the suite is nice.

Hi Renee, if i remember correctly Furama has a microwave in the rm for the couples but frankly hor all the features actually we dun really use tat much except for the basic ones. Cos we are so tired after the long day, all u know is bath, count $ & sleep hehehe... tats me & hubby lah.
Hey I think tat suite u view was wat i got. the view is not spectacular but well no time to admire it. the bed is huge though...

kekeke.. Renee, 'yuan yang xi shui', COOL !
I think i prefer t Amara suite tat faces t HDB flats, as t one facing construction site may b noisy in t morning.
Amara suite has 2 toilets... good if got lots of guests/jie meis/bros...

Hi Joelle,
Maybe I can use the microwave to heat my dinner when I back to my room... will be hungry by then.
Hi Lilian,
Not sure when the construction will be over... anyway u might not hv the time to admire the view as mentioned by Joelle...coz u will be very tired and busy counting money.

hi jo,
you posted in both carlton & amara forum ah?
i am a amara btb and can only tell you that i like amara bcos:
1) they have a glass lift
2) service of counter staff is not bad
3) ballroom reception is big
4) ballroom has those small LED lights at the ceiling so it makes the place very nice! (but maybe not as cool as intelligent lights but equally cool).
5) it has a modern look unlike those typical ballrooms with chandeliers
As for carlton, you can read the threads and i suggest you go with your own feeling and compare after you visit both hotels

Coz we had a surprise pack of rose petals n some no-name angbao...so while watching the video we were spotting where the petal n angbao caome frm...very fun...hahaha..

Hi Joelle & Tare, I am back in action.. Sorry been very busy lately..
The comment for my wedding is that the food is good somehow some of guest complain that they dun change plate too often and the service is slow.. On the whole the guest are impress with amara..
My wedding also hv some small hip hups but is ok lor.. We hv request for finger food before the dinner and they hv agree but the food was not served to us even til the dinner started.. Portrait stand and tables for wedding photos was not setup by them even til the reception start.. Hope that can improve from there.. Amara Bridal suite is not bad lor..
The banquet manager Jason although look for young but he was able to handle the situation well...
I personally find that michelle is better than Li Ping and can see that she is very busy as very hard to contact her..
Tare: my advise is to ask ur helpers to check and ensure that everything u requested are ready before the reception start if not will be in a mess.. For those who are having a montage the feedback i gather is that the screen is too small and is difficult for the ppl at the back to see clearly.

Hi Shell, Welcome back!!
i nv heard abt the dun change plates part.. i only heard the food in big portion part and guests complained, eat and eat, still have leftover.My pre-dinner sandwich came only when i am about to go down for the cocktail too, at abt 7.45pm, so asked them to serve after dinner. Ladies, remmeber to bring food to hotel just in case they serve ur snacks late too. I brought pandan cake so not tat bad. My hubby was too excited to eat so me & jie mei finished up the whole cake
My portrait stands are on time, maybe i got my chief jie mei to join in the meeting with the banquet manager.
Oh ya, Jason looks young but v stable pong pi pi. Wonder is he chinese or malay....
O ya, 1 point to add credit to Amara. One of my tables "suddenly" requested to have vegetarain food. Made us all panic, where to find so much vegetarian food for a table of 10! But Michelle & Jason save the day, she rushed in and out of the kitchen to sort things out for us and Jason was V V professional, he reassure things are going to be ok and kept us updated at all time of the status. We were v impressed then and super grateful. They rushed all the dishes out on time (we gave them only abt 30 mins allowance).
Erm, I find the screen ok leh. Cos I peek from behind door before 2nd march in. I can still see it quite clearly.
Tare: I agree with shell, get ur jie mei to join in the meeting with the banquet manager, it helps a lot.

hi ladies,
long time no chat chat liao. Being busy recently, so many posts, lost tracks liao.
I had collected my invitation cards. At first sight, the card look ugly. On a second look, I found that it is still quite acceptable lor.
hi coyote,
I'm sad to hear that you had unhappy event at amara. Never mind, you had wonderful family, guests, and friends too who help you with the decoration. I like the drapings, the pavillion look so cosy!!!!

Hi Amara Brides,
just want to check, did Amara indicate the price after the 9% dscount(discount offered during the bridal show) in the Contract (which is the carbon copy) or the original price before the discount.
For my set, the discounted price was not indicated in the Contract and the final cost that i need to pay was also based on the original. The 9% discount was only mentioned in the terms & conditions.
Shouldn't the discounted price be indicated in the Contract (carbon copy) and as well as the final price that we need to pay?

Helo ladies,
Jas; Which card u took? Red or white? I had both and initally by Mum dun like the red ones, in the end they found that when use gold pen on it, it look so gd - "auspic, they ended up using all the red cards. Haha so i guess amara cards takes some time for the effect to surface...

Hi Ching,
i find it a bit risky lei, cos the final price that we need to pay did not indicate the 9%discount and furthermore, that carbon copy which is the actual contract did not mention anything abt the final price will be subjected to the 9% discount. To play safe, think should get Amara to indicate somewhere in that carbon copy.

Hi Jo,
mine also didnt indicate the 9% discount. But i e-mailed Michelle about it and she say the terms and condition have stated , the 9% discount will be extended to us when we pay the final bill. I kept a copy of the e-mail she sent to me as a proof ... just to play safe.
