there are still trees, but small.. really small.. no longer the giantic ones that we prob seen at first. i went down last fri and got a shock when i saw the garden... u can go check it out first..

1st March in:
From this moment (shania Twain)
- 1st 1min, some dancer will dance in first, then throw some flowers and make it more grand for us.Then we start.haha

2nd March in:
Donna Lewis - I love you always (a hippier song)
- start of the song just play, then with some lights thingy around, then we dance aliitle, then walk.. haha...

During dinner, a series of songs that my hubby and i like.. will burn them into a CD lor.. kevin kern included..

Bugbear,
I have no idea abt the differnent table sizes though.. probably go for the normal one ba.. should be the bigger one i guess.. arrangement of the tables can be planned one i think..

 

[yukie]

hahaha... mgt... my sis was the 1 who help me wif the song n we had great fun choosing! My sis will open our rm door when the rite beat come n i'll walk out fm the room to the other end of the living room n back, counting how many tables i'll hv pass n agar agar can knw where the music should stop...

 

[jesmineang]

Tentative menu:

2. braised shark's fin with crabmeat and harsma (anyone knows wats Harsma?)
3. Roasted chicken with deep fried garlic
4. Steamed live prawns with chinese herbs and shaoxing wine

Aiyah Odiey, typo... [email protected]

 

[sherl]

hi odiey, can forward the pic of the guest book to me as well? Thanks! [email protected]

 

[bugbear]

Morning Gals!!

MGT!! Your tentative menu is exactly what i have in mind for mine...heheh...actually, the ornee is in Menu1. I checked with my coord already.

MGT, you sure GCW allows flowers (fresh) to be thrown in the ballroom? I asked to throw flower petals and my coord said strictly NO. It's the hotel policy. No fresh flowers as it will stain the carpet. Better check before hand k...

 

[bugbear]

Mgt, i forgot to tell u. I got my coord to send me the floor plan for 46 + 2VIP, L-shaped march and almost 20-22 tables are the smaller size...they will fit those smaller tables at the side...those nearer the aisle will be the bigger tables.

 

[jesmineang]

Hi mgt...
thought this is similar to the weekend menu already...

 

[jan193]

yukie n mgt,

[jan193]

Will talk to my FH then let u know hor...thanks for the info!

 

[yukie]

Hi Bugbear... me oso don knw wat is burgundy chicken. But i'm taking the garlic chicken cos heard great review of it n i luv luv garlic alot!

Girls, don jus go for the cheapest wine... try the wine n c if u like it. We got our wine fm Star Cellar. We were given a range of wine to try out, tink abt 10 bottles. Tried fm the lightest onwards(hubby did the trying as i knw nuts abt it!). Than we choose the 1 tat hubby like best. Don choose 1 tat u tink yr guest will like. Cos u will never satisfy all of them. Choose something tat u like.

 

[bugbear]

Hi Yukie...i also heard great reviews about the garlic chicken. I most likely to do both chicken during food tasting. Tot add 1 more dish, i think is $40+++

Heheh...yeah...best combination is cheap and good wine. I went to 2 friends who is dealing with wine and they gave me pretty good wines at very good prices. I am still considering and looking out.

Heard that Carrefour also offers pretty reasonable wines
