Wedding Reception Venue

This being the year of Dragon, it seems to be astrologically auspicious year to wed! So the famous restaurants and hotels are basically being booked like hot cakes for wedding reception!

For us, we opted for reception in a Chinese restaurant, reason being our parents prefer so and generally the food in chinese restaurants taste better than hotels. So we narrow down our choices of restaurant based on these criteria:

Convenient and known location
Cosy and comfortable ambient
No issue on car parks
Good or simply acceptable food range
Most importantly.. still available for our wedding date!

So before visiting the venues, I made calls to check availability of the short listed restaurants such as Grand Imperial, Tai Thong, Oriental group restaurants.. I was so shocked that most of these restaurant were actually booked on our selected date and it is like still 10 months to that date!

We then decided to walk in to a few other restaurants I have yet to call, just to get a feeling of the banquet hall. The first one we went was Noble House at Imbi, but were disappointed as they only managed to host banquet for less than 30 tables. So we went on to check out Grand Palace restaurant in Pavilion.

I immediately fell in love with this place. It fits all the criteria we seek for, cosy ambient, known location, no issue on parking and it is available on the 13th of January 2013. This is a day after actual wedding day, we decided this is possible so it is not needed to rush for dinner after tea ceremony on actual day. We looked at the menu list, the price is somewhat reasonable for the package we wanted.

So then, we brought our parents for a visit to this restaurant. We were all happy with this venue and the package they offer. After some discussion and negotiation we signed up and paid the booking fee.

Yes! With this, the banquet venue is booked! One major to-do on the list checked! What a relief...

W.O.T.P.

10th of November 2012, the day we booked our first property together as husband and wife. It was indeed a huge milestone after we signed our ROM papers. This is a luxury condominium developed by Selangor Dredging Berhad and it's located at Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Batu 9, Cheras Selatan. This is a very interesting development because it is situated on 8.9 acres of Freehold land with 4.2 acres of landscaped environment (Yes, half of the development is actually greenery!) The unit built-up range between 916 sq. ft. to 4,311 sq. ft. and sold for about RM450 - RM680 per square feet. We bought a unit at Block C which is lowest block on the left. Location of W.O.T.P. with proposed MRT station few kilometers away. The lovely greenery and facilities are really serene and awesome! Facilities: 50m lap pool Children’s wading pool Children outdoor play area Teen’s play area 2 nos. of indoor badminton courts Gym/ aerobi...

What am I?

It has been some time since I last updated this blog. Heaps of stuff happened and I just had the time to pull a break and evaluate the events that happened to me in the past 1 month. I've changed my job, moving into sales line is not an easy decision to make. I was doubtful with myself until I really come on board. Perhaps it may be too soon to tell where I stand in this job, but I was really thankful that my current boss gave me an insight of myself. We had sessions to understand what are our temperament. This is something that govern what kind of job that fits us. Apparently I am an "Artisan" after few rounds of personality tests. An artisan loves freedom, leads by taking action, seeks to have impact and variation, needs appreciation, a risk taker, problem solver and an opportunist. When I read the full description bout what I am, I immediately understand why I felt in constraint and bored working in the manufacturing line. I am just not that type of person that falls i...

Gatherings

I just had 2 gatherings recently. 1 with my high school aka childhood buddies and another with my university buddies. Really appreciate this little time we spent together, just to maintain our friendship. We were once really really close friends and really hope our friendships will last as long as it gets. Last 2 weeks, 22nd June 2008. Me, Sue and Voon had a small gathering to celebrate Sue's 25th birthday at Red Box Plus in Pavilion. Pavilion used to be our school!! Our beloved BBGS used to be on the very spot Pavilion is. Well, having gathering here bring nostalgic memories back to us. Come to think, I've known Sue for 18 years and Voon for 10 years!! That was long..Remembered those days, where life was so problem-free, we used to have MacD almost everyday after school. Our reasons was to revise Add Maths together, the real reason was to have some loiter times. Since our houses were so near to each other, 3 of us always have the reason to go shopping after school. I mean, aft...
