Venue confirmed!

Hehe, yest me and mehz went to meet preeeetie girl (she really is quite pretty) at 4seasons.

We took lift to 20th floor, known as the penthouse of 4 seasons, and she showed us the West room first. The West room has chandeliers and the panels are brown, it overlooks some tall buildings and part of mt faber. We couldnt go into the East room because that is occupied with some cocktail event. The East room has covered lights and panels are cream, and overlooks Tangs & the Road (orchard rd - can see headlight of car and city lights) etc. We were able to peep in from the front/back of the room. The two rooms are not linked, but can cross from the outdoor swimming pool into the back doors (cross my fingers no kids wanna run around and scream on that NIGHT - not likely at night, they will prolly freeze to death).

Both rooms come with a balcony (interesting...mebbe we can find some use for it...)

We could choose either room because there is this girl who wants one room but she cant make up her mind. Both me and lamb prefers the East one...because I find brown in such a small space a bit oppresive n i think the lights from Orchard Road will make the view better compared to BLACK mt faber; as for lamb, i dono why he also like the cream one though we didnt really manage to go in and see.

We went for tea at the lounge ...

She correctly pointed out that since this is not a wedding package, we will be missing out
-wedding favors (the choco pralines cost $3/pax add. )
-invitation cards (we don need those)
-room (nice to have, but not necessary - though seems a bit lugi)
-flower stands for aisle (can eat??)

Actually she forgot to mention forgoed free cakie!

To "sweeten" the deal...not very sweet blah...but I didnt bother to bargain...what bargaining power does 5 tables have anyway....she increased parking from 20% to 30% (which shld be sufficient) and also wines to come from their wedding banquet wine list (cheapest from $42++)

Anyway we were looking at the usual menus, and then hiamming a bit and she suggested indiv served plates, which was a hit with mehz. It's gonna be only 6 course, but because its indiv served, got bigger portion. Only thing is..its quite ex at $118++ onwards , the most ex goes up to $238++ where you got caviar!!

Anyway i got her to leave us to discuss stuff over free tea, and she went so long away. haha. mebbe she thot we indecisive...but then my lovable lil woolly lamb being so practical asked the correct question of 'what's stopping us?', which really...is NOTHING. Except for being a bit pricey, everything seems ok. We liked the 128++ menu (PEKING DUCK!!) and most likely will go for that.

Anyway, based on puddy's own calculation....for 50 pax at 128++ and 10 bottles of wine at $42++...no extra parking or anything extra alcoholic...it will cost about $6820++ = $8027.14.

Assuming we get $5k back in AP, its a loss of 3k....so to minimize that...can we spread the word that it is 130++ per person?!?! HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA

I end off with a picture of the room....which looks more like artist impression than a photo. Take with a pinch of salt...it is from their webbie. IMO, without anything inside, it does not look so impressive.
