Hi Poppy, I just held my wedding on 21 Oct. I received good comments about the food. The portions are huge and the food is tasty. The negative comments I heard were centered around the spinach + mushroom dish. The spinach is rather bitter but the mushroom is really good. Many were impressed with...

I'm as 20102010 bride too. Congrats to all October 2010 brides. Enjoy yourself and have a great celebration

Shaun, it's a relief to read good review on Intercon since the general sentiment don't seem too fantastic. Toreen is in charge of my wedding, she's a pretty and bubbly young lady who try her best for her couple. I guess we all feel that Intercon is rather rigid with their perks and...

cheer, joyle and thomas: great to know the NCQ wine is not bad. I should think so too. I mean it's a 4 star hotel, they wont serve bad wine and affect their own reputation right. Just that maybe FIL is fussy and probably wants 'face'. So I will just let him do what he wants with the wine as long...

priscilla: You are right. Whatever we do is not good enough for my FIL. So now I learn to ignore his words. Lucky I dont see him often. But HTB gets the full force of his nagging. Thomas: Oh, cannot extinguish the candles ah. Then must convince HTB to get the small n skinny candles. I think...

prisi11a: According to FIL, the wine cost $60+ per bottle and his friend gave discount so it cost $40-$50. I also dont think it's worth and find it a hassle to buy additonal wines. Just keep it simple and let NCQ take care of it. He has been nagging at HTB thus HTB told me to check with HL on...

prisci11a: hahaha. you are right. not going to tell the in-laws and give myself more inconvenience. joyle: Your big day is Feb 2011? Have you got a bridal boutique yet? I'm v thankful that I engaged Ted Collection to MTM all my gowns. I totally enjoyed the whole process and results. The...

Thomas: cannot try to extinguish it? Like spraying water? hahaha. Since it can't be blown off. HTB just mentioned his parents decided on Pine Garden. Does the groom family need to distribute cakes too? Cos his dad ordered 24 cakes but my mom only requested for 8. Means my HTB has to spend...

Cheer: Thank you for the links. You are such a sweetie. priscilla: Yah! I was shocked. Just listening to her gave me a headache. I told my mom. she said she didnt even do those things during her time. Mom is happily married with 3 healthy children and we dote on her and dad. Dad is faithful...

cheer:yup, getting used to the new house liao. lucky my mom just stay opposite block so I can just cross over for dinner. Less traumatic for me. HTB and I like pine garden cakes too. He brought his parents to pine garden last sat, his parents not too 'impressed'. Still dont want to decide...

Thomas: We went to there last saturday. While we were selecting and learning all the traditions from Jenny, another pair of aunty/uncle were buying stuff for their son's marriage. And they kept interuppting, asking us to translate in english to them. Then another family cut in and want to get...

Thanks Joyle and Thomas for the recommendation. Will tell HTB the recommendations. Did some research and it seems that certain shop can sell the same GDL things at higher prices. I think as long as we think the price is not exorbitant, we will just get since not much time already. tsk tsk...

Morning! I'm back in action again. Shifted into our new home last sunday! One big item struck off the list. My weddding is in 3 wks time, and we have not sent our invitation cards! We are surely the slowest. What to do, we were so busy with work and whatever free time that my HTB has, his...

Thomas: Thank you. Will be a happy bride. Prisi11a: Thank you. Hahaha. I'm counting down to post-wedding. Just bite the bullet for another month. Brendancer: Thank you for JIA YOU. Lucky it's once in a lifetime, no energy to do it twice. Hahaha The last time, my HTB promised me to do a...

thomas: no worries. i'm fine now and quite zen out. Seriously, the change in mood is so dramatic. I felt in control and happy again, like my usual self. I think I can start to enjoy the preparation again

prisi11a and thomas: I was very very emo and was very pissed off when FIL made those comments. Cos I dont even fancy having a banquet, but I went along just to please HTB's family. My HTB is also not into having a banquet. So I said I wasted one yr of my life to do things that I don't want...

Faye: hope things work out. Maybe you can do a comparison with the other hotels. NCQ might just offer better value. Dec 2011, it's not late to plan now, I think there are others who are more 'gan cheong'. I remembered booking NCQ in April 2009 for July 2010 and some of my more preferred...

Hi Faye, Congrats! 11 Dec 2010? You have 6 more months to go. Try to calm down first, cos it will get full blown nearer to the date. I think my problem is made worse cos I'm moving to my new home this sunday and then wedding next month. My family didnt make any demands. I think my...

Sorry NCQ couples. I just kinda went missing after the food tasting. Too much things to do and rather emo recently. I hope my mood swings are normal. Food review...hmmm...I wasn't really in a good mood to eat cos FIL keep complaining that the food is not nice, very basic and we should have...

cheer: thanks for the advice. why didnt i think of red for main table and the rest in another colour! I think that's a brilliant suggestion I shall remember not to give full points - anyway my FIL and his family are very fussy about food so I just hope he dont complain too much. I asked...
