we are going to maldives!!!!! =)))))

this is where we are going for our honeymoon!!!!! maldives =))) super excited!!!!! yes so many people have been bugging us and saying that we are super last minute cos as of last week, we still had not booked our honeymoon trip... =Pp but hey in 1 month 3 weeks before our wedding, we managed to book it!!!! and praise the Lord it is at a SUPER GOOD DEAL!!!!! ^_^

there must be a reason for everything... one of the reasons why vin and i never got down to booking our honeymoon was that we were just not convinced by the places we were looking at. vin wanted a water villa where he can open his eyes to the ocean. i wanted to stay in a luxurious resort. our budget was SGD 4.6k.
as most of you might know, we never managed to find a place like that. luxurious resorts under SGD 4.6k were all in bali but those would not have ocean view (where vin can wake up and look right at the ocean, and sleep with the sound of waves singing him a lullaby). water villas are all in maldives and an all-inclusive package in maldives for a decent looking resort (and i say DECENT, not LUXURIOUS) cost about 5.1k for 1 night stay at a hotel in male (cos we arrive at male airport at about 11pm) and 3 nights in the water villa. somewhat around there. we ALMOST booked that resort cos we thought that was the best for us after hunting for about 3-4 months...
just the morning when vin was about to call the travel agent to book that trip, michelle said that her boyfriend told her last night about a great deal for a maldives resort that is opening in june and the prices are SUPER CHEAP!!!!! i was thinking 'wow!!!!! is that ever possible???' but once vin and i checked it out, we were awed by God's providence...
so this is why we just couldnt make the decision to go ahead... thank God that He is always with us, even in a decision just to choose our honeymoon destination and resort...
conclusion: our package is somewhat all-inclusive for FIVE nights (all at the resort as the speedboat can pick us from male once we touch down) at their water villa, which looks super luxurious (especially since it is so new and maybe we might be the 1st couple to spend the night in it considering that june/july is a low season in maldives) and which costs only SGD 4.6k!!!!!
praise God from whom ALL BLESSINGS flow ^_^
