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...

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...

New Haircut

A haircut for the new beginning :) My previous hairstyle was BOB, I took courage to cut it short last 2 years. So for the last 2 years I didn't visit saloon at all. Finally today I thought I have to cut off my out-of-shape hair, I have to trim it back into shape! Quite bored with layered hairstyle, so I tried the straight cut.. to make my hair look fuller and straight. Not bad, I quite like this hairstyle~ It's a preparation before I make digital perm later :P Long & Straight hair - Love it!

Flashbacks

- How it all started - I entered Victoria Institution, as a form 6 student. On the first day of school, we were divided into classes of FM 1 and FM 2. I was allocated in FM 2, and so did most of BBGS girls. We were contented with the arrangement, but not someone. He was from BBSP school, which I had never heard of. All other BBSP students were allocated in FM 1, with him as an alien in our class. I believe he was really angry with the arrangement. The class teacher promised him to swap, provided he top our FM2. Most of the time he won't be spending time in our class and preferred loitering around in the other class. We didn't really care much bout him and so did he. We didn't interact much, but in the class he was a gem to the teachers. Our chemistry teacher liked him so much that she told me, "that boy sitting at the edge of the class (referring to him) is a very good and clever boy ya?"I smirked :\ After many weeks, finally we had group...
