as you all know, i've booked Aloha Changi's Chalet, Fairy Pt Bungalow 3. However, weiliang has just discovered that he can have supremely great rates with HomeTeam NS. This will be an obviously better choice because:
1. rates are wayyy cheaper
2. more facilities (aloha changi has none)
3. may be able to get 1st to 3rd jan which many of you prefer because uni starts on 11th jan.
However, there is a cancellation fee for Aloha Changi, and it's 10% of 470.80 which will be 47 bucks. (considering they wanted to charge me 25% for cancellation fee that's much better already right? hahaha sorry trying to look at the bright side here)
okay before any of you kill me, let me explain why i got everyone into such a shitty mess. a few days ago, i checked every other chalet (nsrcc, aloha loyang, ntuc.etc) and they were all fully booked on both 1st to 3rd Jan as well as 8th to 10th Jan. Weiliang was helping to check the vacancies using his membership under police welfare for Costa Sands but somehow the system was screwed up and told him the earliest he could book was very late Jan. Also, he thought he could only book Costa Sands, and didn't realize that he was entitled to book the HomeTeam NS chalet as well till his colleague told him or sth. Because the chalets were taken up very fast (previously just a few days ago i was looking at Changi Chalet M but it was taken up the next time i tried to book it) , i rushed to book the fairy pt bungalow chalet to ensure that it wouldn't be taken up (and seriously, bungalows 2 and 3 were free the day before but when i went to book it, only bungalow 3 was left so i'm not crazy or anything okay? lol) so this is why we're in this mess now.
I really do apologize for the inconvenience and the unnecessary payment for the cancellation of Aloha Changi.
below are the rates for HomeTeam NS!
1.
$171 HomeTeam Bukit Batok
villa, 2 bedrooms.
bbq pit, full cooking facilities, laser quest, jackpot room, squash court, gym, bowling alley, badminton court, swimming pool, golf driving range, tennis court, karaoke (10 to 30 per hour open from 3pm to 1am)
2.
$107 HomeTeam Bukit Batok (no bedroom, attap house)
facilities are the same as above.
chalet is basically one common area, like a huge room. bbq pit and fridge included. 'sides that, it's totahlee empty. pictures below.
for the bukit batok ones i think there's only the common toilets which sucks. not sure about kitchen either.
3.
$214 HomeTeam Pasir Ris
semi-detached with 4 bedrooms each
bbq pit, bball court, bicycle kiosk, cafeteria, tennis court, NEW jackpot room (wl is excited), canoeing kiosk (i am excited)
4.
$470 Aloha Changi original
toilets/bathrooms with shower heater, BBQ pit and a fully equipped kitchen, didn't state no. of bedrooms but rather 1 queen-sized + 4 single-sized beds, 3 toilets
no facilities :/
looks huge though!
so anyway, i cancelled today so that the cancellation fee would be 10% instead of 25%, but here's the catch. Weiliang will only be able to book 1 month before the check-in date, so on the 1st of Dec, he will try to book for 1st Jan, and if not possible, 8th Dec for 8th Jan and hopefully he'll be able to book one of those dates but in the event that he doesn't, WE WILL HAVE NO CHALET. there, better to prepare everyone now than to break all your little hearts later. lol
okay so there are the 4 possibilities listed above, please type the number of the chalet that you wish to vote for on the tagboard! (seriously if everyone voted for 4 again i'd kill myself. but i doubt so yeah?)
therefore, the total amount of the chalet would be whatever the new fee for the new chalet is, plus 47 bucks.
thank you very extremely much and once again, sorry for all the trouble.
Love much,
Tis
PS: by the way, so sorry to hear that Uni life is cui with crazy projects and tests every 6 weeks or so :/ good luck to all the uni people! kick some ass in the next semester test!
