Unexpected Surprise!

A trip down hotel searching w/o expectations can be filled with surprises too!

Yupz, so this is what happened when me and bear went down Grand Copthorne Waterfront this afternoon to check out the place. We already know that 7th Dec wont be available + the location is not very accessible so I was carrying the ‘just-go-see-look-loh’ kinda feeling when we were heading our way down. I was more interested in eating the Crystal jade egg tart when we go back Great World after our meeting ops =P

Nonetheless, we were very impressed with the professionalism of the lady who served us. It was kinda love at first sight of the ballroom.

Oh well, just look @ the pics, coincidently the ballroom was set up for a wedding dinner for this weekend and we were so lucky to have a first hand preview of the layout:


The area outside and inside are both very spacious (I should say for a small ballroom), the deco looks very nice hor, making the ambience very pleasant and romantic, okie in short, very comfortable and cosy feeling that we both have. =D (I also realized 10 tables can also have themes de.. not like what other hotels insist no-nos.. hmpf? Yeah??) So this is only one of the many themes that I can choose from!


And this is the outdoor solemnization pavilion by the S’pore River that the wedding coordinator proposed which is like $700 for maybe 15minutes?? Hmmz is it worth the moment… (erhm.. yyessss, for me..) alternatively we can just hold it right after the march in. quite standard loh, which i am also okie.. =)

Other than that the prices are within budget and the perks are attractive! Only catch is the date: 15th Nov or 28 Dec (our auspicious days). Wha!!!

15/11 (Sat)
- (-) Super haggard/stressed after term ends immediately (esp if I kena PW, 99.9% possibility, roarRRR)
- (-) Very packed and rush for both of us
- (+) A longer holiday and move in earlier into our nesty
- (+) Good attendance of guests

28/12 (Sun)
- (-) Abit bored having to wait for the entire hoLs for the BIG day
- (+) Ample time to prettify myself
- (-) Shorter honeymoon OR no honeymoon at all???!!! Coz school’s gg start pretty soon, 3-day leave may not be sufficient
- (+) Good attendance of guests, depends tho..

We have tentatively booked the ballroom for 28th Dec with the lady at 8+pm, and she just replied! Keke~ so we have bout 2 weeks to confirm coz she actually extended last year’s package to us (wahaha coz I emailed her on 30th Dec!!! heng ah.. pat pat miffy) Meanwhile I guess we will just shop for about another 3 more hotels, if not cya at Grand Copthorne Waterfront on 28th Dec ba! Winkz~

Btw, we can go down to HDB for collection of keys next Mon!! Yippie!! But gonna start paying misc fees, etc? hmm.. so we might ask for rescheduling of the appointment. Hoho, so exciting!

Its 11 o'clock le!! late late! better go zzz le.. more wayangs to do tmr =( nitez.. ciaoz
