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 SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
