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!

Taiwan Kids friendly Accommodation with slides - not your usual list!

And so from a mere idea of bringing Sticky Bean with us to Taiwan, this idea was put into action with Singapore Airlines 70th Anniversary promotion where you get to pay only $70 for a child's ticket! Though it's not exactly the cheapest option for flying to Taiwan, we thought to pay a little more for better service and not to mention safety since it will be Sticky Bean's first time traveling on a relatively longer flight. Her first plane ride was a really short one to KL, a mere 1 hour away. If she's manageable on the flight, we can then consider budget airlines such as Scoot or even Jetstar for our subsequent travels. So why Taiwan? There are plenty of reasons for our choice other than both Mr. Keir and myself love Taiwan for the food and hospitality. I'm sure you may have come across Awesome kids friendly accommodation with slides and other themed rooms in Taiwan that are trending in facebook. That was one of the many reasons why we want to go Taiwan too! ...

8 Day 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Iitnerary (Taiwan)

Finally, we embarked on an exploration trip to the Southern part of Taiwan. Having heard so much about E-Da World in Kaohsiung, we decided to take a direct flight just to explore Kaohsiung. Initially, we'd wanted to do a Kaohsiung-Tainan trip but decided to skip Tainan this time around and did a Kaohsiung-Nantou trip instead. We had so much fun and would highly recommend a visit to Kaohsiung to any families travelling with kids. In fact, we find Kaohsiung a lot more child-friendly than Taipei. It is also less crowded so it makes it less claustrophobic taking public transport in Kaohsiung as opposed to Taipei. The people there are also a lot friendlier and helpful. This time around, my mum joined us as well and Sticky Bean was ecstatic as she gets to spend quality time with her Popo. Here's a preview of our 8 Days 7 Night Kaohsiung Kids Friendly Itinerary (Taiwan) . You can click on the respective days for a detailed post. The link will be up once it's ready...

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...
