A Tuesday night wedding banquet at Goodwood Park Hotel

It was rather unusual to have a wedding on a week day as the turn out of the guests will be very unpredictable. Last night Jeffrey and I were invited to attend his friend's wedding banquet at Goodwood Park Hotel. It was my first time attending a wedding banquet on a Tuesday night and I wondered if the turn out will be affected. True enough once we reached, the Bridegroom was complaining to us that many of his guests back out at the very last minute. He had prepared about 27 tables + 1 reserved. In the end there were about 3 to 4 tables empty. It is quite risky to hold banquet on a week day for another obvious reason, the 'ang bao' money might be lesser... I am sure many of us will feel that it is definitely cheaper to hold banquets on week days therefore people will not give as much compared to weekend banquets.

I am quite a regular at Goodwood Park hotel, don't get the wrong idea, I frequent their restuarants like Min Jiang, Tatsuya and their high tea not forgetting their delicious cakes and pastries. I have to be fair and say that couples who had their wedding banquet there or are planning to will be guaranteed with good food. I love the food at Min Jiang, they are very establish and it is also value for money. What I want to say is that wedding dinner held during week days will not be any inferior than weekends. What's most important is the venue and the food.

My 1st photo with a Christmas tree for this year.

I bought this evening dress in Bangkok at Platinum, it cost me only 1000 Thai Baht. It is cheap and good!

A photo with the bridegroom, Max. He helped out in our wedding too.

Love my red Chanel! I can use it for Chinese New Year!

Happy to see couples tiying the knot! Jeff & I always reminise our own wedding when we attend friend's wedding banquet.

2 Weddings

It has been a rough week, meetings, conferences, weekend duties, dead line for sales report, and 2 wedding dinner invitations on the same week. I had to be on duty at IMH on Thursday alone. My company was one of the sponsors for their APPRC congress and therefore we had to "Jargar" the booth and introduce our company's drug to overseas doctors and nurses that came for the congress. When I stated on my facebook that I was at IMH, one of my friend was shocked and asked me why I was there. Maybe he thought that I was mentally ill, maybe he thought I suffered post natal blues... hahahaha Mervin, don't worry I am perfectly fine. Anyways, luckily Paul was on duty there too and we kept each other company that day.

That Saturday I was very excited as I was going to bring Natalie to attend my friend's wedding dinner. It was Marilyn's wedding and was held at Merchant Court Hotel. I brought Natalie along to meet up with her mummy's friends, and true enough she was very popular that night. We didn't stay till the end of the dinner and left only when they were serving the 4th course. Too bad, as Natalie needed to head back home for her sleep.

The beautiful bride, Marilyn Chan and me. Welcome to monogamy and hope to hear good news soon!

Natalie and her god mother, Geraldine. Her boyfriend kept saying that Natalie was very cute. Could tell that he loves baby a lot. Hope to attend their wedding dinner soon so that they can proceed to the next stage of life. Natalie needs a friend, so don't let her wait too long ok.

My little princess and me. I brought this bustier dress from Lavender, located at Stamford Road.

Immediately the next day, I had to prepare to attend another wedding dinner at Conrad Hotel. I was looking forward to this wedding dinner as Jeff and I held our wedding at Conrad. Wanted to have a feel of being a guest there and re collect memories of our wedding.

The bride, Sherli and me. She is so gorgeous! Envy that she is so slim! I wasn't that slim when I was a bride myself.


My lovely and wonderful colleagues. I am happy to be able to work with all of you.
