We(our rather me) had been busy doing research for the wedding while andy is busy monitoring the availablity of the HDB's flats. Oh, before i go further we had applied for the Bi-Monthly Sale (Sector A) where HDB releases some surplus flats @ the West region of Spore(eg: Jurong, Woodlands, etc). There are 5708plus applications fighting for 490units. *_*
Guess what..
Our Balloted Queue No is A0804
Selection Date: 02 Jun 08
Selection Time: 3.30pm
We are hoping to get flats at Jurong West, which currently left with the maximum units available. Till date there are 196units available.. so we have 1 more wk to struggle.. Everyday looking at the available units was like looking shares. The lesser the units available the deeper our heart falls..haha.. Wish us luck!!

After sourcing for wedding banquets and doing some comparsions, we had more or less confirmed of getting Marina Mandarin. Thus, We attended the Marina Mandarin wedding show to taste the food and check out what they exactly offer.
The wedding show was held at their grand ballroom with booths at the cocktail reception area that sells bridal services, wines, etc..
We must say we are totally impressed with the sharkfins Marina Mandarin (MM) services. It comes in pcs form instead of what we normally see - watery/starchy and a few strings of sharkfins..
After the wedding show, we wanted to discuss and sign up the banquet package with the catering sales manager..but..to our despair.. the dates we wanted are booked.. thus she had given me a few dates for us to check with the feng shui master whether is it suitable for us. To cut the story short, after a few 'ding dongs' and meet up sessions with Wendy, our banquet co-ordinator, we managed to fixed the date on 17th May 2009 @ Vanda Ballroom.
Also at the show we had signed up with WhiteLink for the bridal package @ $3988.. Initially we wanted to look for Bridal Studios @ Malaysia to cut down our cost, but Jimmy, our co-ordinator who was soooo sincere managed to persuade us to sign the package. On top of that we are too lazy to go in and out of Malaysia.
So.. we are officially now Groom & Bride of Marina Mandarin & Whitelink!!
