the wedding venue decided - a dinner banquet afterall

gosh i've been lazy once again to update the blog. But it didn't take long for us to decide on the venue. all the site visit can get really tiring, and after seeing a few places, you'll kind of know which will be the 'Yes this is the place" kind of feel.

Well perhaps this feeling ain't as strong but then again, it kind of fits into our objective of;
 1) a unique place and memorable for the guest.

Because....

the location is.................

Super FAR!!!! Not many know of this place I supposed, unless you stay in the West. I've read some reviews online from guests who attend weddings there, most of them were pretty surprised by the beautiful scenery over there.

 So I reckon, there's always the pros & cons. if you want a beautiful scenery, most of the locations will be quite out of the way. Both Mr. Keir and myself love the serenity of this place, in a way it was away from the bustling city and the surrounding is so tranquil and calm.

 I've previously blogged about this venue as one of the shortlisted choices, and yes, it's Raffles Country Club!

Nah, not the one at bt timah but the one nearer to Tuas.
From the foyer, you can enjoy the lush greenery from the golf course as well as serenity of the lake view.
And that's right, it's a perfect place to have our solemnization and we'll definitely urge all of our guests to come before sunset to enjoy this view.

Just some additional images;



I'm absolutely in love with the stage set up. By far, I've not seen anything like this in any other hotel's stage set up. One of its unique kind...wootz..


Invited Bro and family along for the first round of food tasting. Look at how elated BB Zavier was!!
The moment we stepped out onto the foyer, he immediately went 'wohh...ooh..Woaaaa.." and kept giving the "good sign".


That's it! positiveness from a 1yr + toddler can't be any wrong. lolx.


Let's take a close up at the stage...




Pretty unique right?




some snippets of the food...


The food was surprisingly good too! not sure if it's cos it's a food tasting session but they are absolutely generous with the shark's fin and crab meat.


THe orh-ni is absolutely yummilicious too!!


And oh yea, previously we were in this dilemma between a dinner and lunch reception but since costs is the Same! We're going ahead with dinner instead.

Though the location is a tad far from the city, we thought the scenery is really good and well worth the journey.

And we hope that our guests will think so too.......

Well, we can't please the whole world, I supposed there're bound to be complains on the location, i guess we just gotta take it with a pinch of salt.


Like c'mon, it's better than holding it in a typical hotel where the ballroom looks almost similar across all the various hotel in Singapore right? Looking at the indoor pics taken, you probably can't remember which wedding it was that you attended!

BTO Keys Collection and BTO Door Opening Ceremony

And so after a long 4 years wait, our BTO is finally ready for keys collection. To be honest we totally forgot about out BTO and was pleasantly surprised to receive an SMS from HDB to inform us of our BTO keys collection date. That was when we frantically tried to hunt for an ID. Ok to cut the story short, here's what happened on the BTO keys collection day as well as what we did for our "BTO Door Opening Ceremony". There really wasn't an official BTO door opening ritual or ceremony in fengshui. I guess this is just a Singapore custom. Though we do not have a religion, in particular, we just did it for an ease of mind. Love the  living room view from our 30th storey BTO view from our Service Yard BTO Key Collection Process at HDB Time took: less than an hour It was a very straightforward and easy process. Here's what you need to prepare, assuming that you are taking the loan from HDB. Identity cards Marriage certificate if you are buying

Our Muji Home Reno Journey | Electrical works and Aircon Trunking

Before embarking on our Muji Home renovation journey, I never knew that the bulk of the work comes from the electrical wiring and the importance of electrical works. In fact, we totally overlooked that part. How many sockets needed and where to place them. Before we selected our ID, we met one of them onsite and the ID just went on asking us how many sockets and lighting point we need in this room, where we need the socket to be located at ...bla bla bla all of these during our first on-site meeting. Trust us, we never had such a pressurising consultation before. Tips for you A lesson learnt from our experience, perhaps before you even meet your IDs or contractors, spend some time in your BTO and visualise how you want to use the space and place your furniture. For us, we thought we can come to that much later when the renovation is almost complete but boy we are so wrong about that. You should already know how many sockets you need and where you want it to be placed from the be

The Miscarriage: : the Mini Confinement after Miscarriage

When it comes to confinement following a miscarriage, there are 101 versions of old wives tales to confuse you. There're people who say (such as doctors and gynaes), since the pregnancy period is short, less than 3 months, it didn't affect our body much so we actually do not need to do confinement. But my gynae did mention that of course i can try to avoid the cold, icy stuffs still. And then there will be the extreme ones who'd think going through a miscarriage is more damaging to a woman's body than giving birth itself and hence one must observe the rules of confinement and the best is to do it for 2 weeks. But think about this, where on earth to get 2 weeks mc? we are only entitled 14 days mc a year leh... And then there's the reasonable ones and I'm blessed that both my mother and mother-in-law and even my brother's mother-in-law, who runs a chinese medical hall (TCM) belongs to this group. So naturally, i fall into this group as well. According
