Maldives

We made a trip down to Travel Carnival at Expo in hope to get a good deal for our honeymoon to Maldives.

Checked out a few travel agencies like Nam Ho, Five Stars, AE Travel, etc. We found the package offered by Nam Ho under Club Med most attractive bcos of the full board meals and unlimited water sports activities. However, it was at a whopping $7,000plus!

We deliberated over the few choices and even called up another travel agency which Henry researched on for the quote but most agencies have packages that include accomodation and air tickets only.

Being quite confused, vexed and undecided over the choices, we left to meet our musician, Khairi at Tampines Mall McDonald's.

We discussed about the music for the dinner and the song for our parents after the thank -you speech. He's an experienced and jovial guy who is very passionate about music. He is familiar even with Chinese, Hokkien and Japanese songs!

I felt quite excited about our wedding dinner while talking to him cos he has lots of ideas about various genre of songs. He took note of our special requests and told us he will play by the ears on that day.

We do have intention to extend another session of 45 mins which will cost us $100 more.

With the music settled, we went back to the Travel Carnival to sign up for our Honeymoon package. Eventually, we signed up a 5D4N package with Club Med under Konsortium for their Water Bungalow at $7,010.64 after bargaining. Travelling dates are from 1 - 5 June, SQ flight.

We spent quite a while deciding the travelling period and only managed to secure these dates after checking the seat availability. Then came the bad news - Club Med Kani might not have room available from 1 - 5 June! Konsortium can only check on Monday but the person told us not to worry as chances of them holding back extra rooms are quite high.

Actually, the deals at the carnival are not to-die-for, they just threw in a 24" suitcase and a 3-piece breakfast set for us.
