hi all, jus wanna check if anyone is aware if there is any GST adjustment next yr?? heard alot of ppl talking abt it. making me very worry nw.

Piggylover> you meant MIN 40 tables... that's an easy task for me loh... I'm having 70++ hahaha.. still working on the guest list... see by then will have how many la... kekek..
Have you gotten ur planner?? Else i can share with you mine detailed excel sheet.. hahha..
My AD is in Sept ah.. 01.09.08 Monday
My PS is in May... and Fitting end Feb.. 29 Feb..
Dunno wanna do OD PS there or not.. maybe not.. coz FH say not really nice place.. dun wanna waste a location to take there.. and since we'll be taking LOTS of photos at OCC on AD... so we rather take somewhere else.. make sure on AD will take alot alot at OCC>. hahahha... not much diff la.. just not inside Album.. but see how la... i quite fickle minded.. if we can choose one more location.. maybe we might just go there..see if the renovation works is done by May or not loh.. quite unlikely though... coz now is all sandy sandy.. but if done.. it'll be green green.. very nice.. but also limited to the Poolside, Tea Pavillion and Staircase there can take only leh... i prefer the public pool... nicer.. more greenery.. eheheh..

rach, oya. both of u same venue & bs. both can talk more on OCC & bs le. heheh
moments, oh yes. she is apple_gal le. whahhaha... really very qiao lor. she very sad for her OD PS le.
so ur ROM u plan in OCC where? im very fan nw, i wanted to hold my rom in the room during noon time (as VG can record down this special moment & play it in the highlight during dinner). but many say to rush & not enough time & checking in of the room is another problem, still cant confirm when is the earliest timing we can allow to check in.
my coordinator told me he can either open a VIP room + buffet(with additional cost) or
he can open the function next to the ballroom for our rom in the evening (FOC), but like tat my VG hav no time to play out the video already. sad.. haiz...

Piggylover>>> i have the same situation as you.. they suggest a room bside the ballroom to hold the ROM... but it also meant that the VG are nt able to show it during dinner time.
Another alternative they gave is to hold in the president suite... but the check in time is actually @ 2pm.. normally VG need 5-6 hrs to edit so it's bit rush too...
So my ideal is to hold @ the poolside/tee garden/greenery golf side... i think it will look much nicer.. and also.. a bigger space for the guests... but this invlove additional charges... which is really exp... so i am still trying to find solutions... haiz.. but most prob by May then can confirm..i wish they can confirmed with me earlier so that during efile of ROM.. will be more or less right information wit no more changes... =)

Hey hey... why dun u just do it before ur banquet?? Means start at 730pm sharp...then follow by banquet..and the whole crowd can see u coming in.. no additional cost also... heheh... that's what I'll be doign for my Holy Matrimony...
Then no need to show video for the guests le ma.. coz everyone will see the actual thing!
Its possible.. just gotta inform all ur guests ur Solemnization starts at 730pm sharp and remind them not to be late.. and u can march in in ur WG..
Then after u sit down.. banquet continues... then by 2nd dish u go change and march in in the buggy loh..

i thought of tat too... but the co-ordinator told us that we need to foresee some issues... like ppl will be late for the Solemnization... then half way thru, ppl will stroll into the ballroom (unless u close off the door @ 730 sharp, but that will create unhappiness to the guest as they may wan to witness the scene despite being late) ...
next will be the little kids... they may run around the places and ppl are chewing nuts while at ur most valuable moments...
the above is all told to me by the co-ordinator... haiz... so that kindof put my mind off the solemnization during dinner... unless all other alternatives is taken up... then i guess this is the next better solution... keke

moments, we are in the same boat nw. me too actual planning at either poolside or golf side. heard got extra $$ den drop out liao.
very fan rite? haiz... so sian dunno wat to arrange 1st, doing up my schedule itinerary frm nw till AD.
my cousin got her solemnization during her 1st march in on the stage. but really sad to see, alot of aunty & uncle talking non-stop, children running about. OMG.. i really dont wish tat to happen during my wedding.

moments> if you have got good planning..then the above will not happen... of coz there are some people u cant help if they are really late.. but if u let ur guest b4hand that u are REALLY starting at 730pm and that they have to come early.. i'm sure they will make an effort to come earlier.. some 1 or 2 is ok la.. kids... u have alot?? u need to engage ushers?? Hahahaha.. we have a lot of professional ushers here.. we can help u to usher ur people to the tables... we can charge u lower rate.. hahaha.. i dun mind helping u for free... but i'm not so sure the rest of my frens.. hehe. maybe like $20 each?? hahahha.... we'll ensure people wont storm in..and u'll still get ur things done.. if u only have signing.,..actually u can start at 8pm also... coz mine have praise & worship, have a short sermon, blessings and lighting of unity candle.. i need a longer time.. i need 45min... but if ur signing is just 15min, u can even start at 815pm latest.. by then..most of the crowd would have alrady reached...
If people wanna talk.. really cant help it... so... bo bianz... at least u can save some money for venue and drinks... and easier.. no need to rush... those that u invite for solemnization also dun have to rush to come earlier...

you are right in some way... actually some things are not to us to control... like piggylover's cousin...she cannot control the guest to stop talking @ her special moments...
Kids... it doesn't matter hw many they are... it's hw they behave...it's hard to control and understand kids...=P but of cos... all these is just foresee to happen... perhaps the co-ordinator have held alot of the solemnization with similar cases happening... of cos... some will held theirs in success too... it all depends...
if we wish to settle for this procedure...we do have to accept it... that ppl will talk and eat while u saying ur vows... ppl will still be late due to un foresee traffic etc... no one should be blame in any other cases... kekek =)
But for now.. if we do have other alternatives.. will try to see if it works out.. kekeke...but if i really decide to hold the solemnization like u suggest...i can seek ur advice and guidance what to do... =)

Piggylover> Hi there.. I've received my contract last week and send it over on 29th Jan. My deadline given was 30th and they received it on the 30th.
Upon receiving it, my sales executive actually sms me and let me know who would be my events officer...
And she said I'll be contacted by EO by next week...
And this morning I received email from EO liaoz..
Efficient rite?
And she'll call us once she goes through our events file to ensure she understands all that we've discussed with the sales exec..
yes, u'll only be allocated to your EO once you return ur contract... Somebody supposed to get back to you..
As you can see.. both of mine are ladies.. and both are highly recommended by them... I had VERY good experience with my sales Exec, Selina. And I told her I wanted someone really good and detailed to take over as EO... heard some not so good comments about the guy.. i think i know who u referring to ...DC rite? So... he might not be that good afterall...
And since the comments about him is good..coz they only laise with him ma.. they didnt laise with others wont know they good or not also...
After i laise with mine.. then let u know la..

Dear all,
Just got my AD photos and video today, the ballroom was simply majestic when I look at the video. Think we choose the right theme, the maroon theme, it compliments my wife's EG especially. Rest assured u will be in good hands, especially the banquet manager he was attentive to our needs especially after looking at the video
