baby photos cfmed dun have cos we dun have many to make the montage...
I think she spent a lot of time on our montages cos every night she slept very late, told me not easy to do cos gotta trim, then add the appropriate music to go along with the pics. If I'm not wrong she used Microsoft Movie Maker to do, u wanna try?

Shir: Thanks for your advise! noted.. i think i will also only invite those whom are relatively close to me and will not fly my aeroplane the last min.
Thomas: Wow you wife is very lihai! Usually weddings only about 2 montages right? I thought having 4 montages is a good idea to "entertain" guests but it is definitely super tedious!
lilmsp: yeah agreed! household chores is a chore... springcleaning is worst! haha.. but on top of that, i have to learn how to cook too! Although my hubby is a pretty good chef, but i suppose he expects his wife to learn to whip up some dishes too bah! hehe.

Peeps i am back 
Japan was awesome. But first let me share what happen at the dinner
Food was generally not bad. i got a few negative feedbacks but i told myself heck care. i can't control. Let me and my hubby enjoy the day.
The only hiccups were my guest list as usual. my poor recep do until head big big. As I only have 21 tables, my dinner started at 8.15pm ended 10.30pm. It was a comfortable timing. We didnt have time to eat dinner because my hubby and us wanted to spend time mingle with our guests. We really enjoyed. We can spend at least 5 to 8 mins per table for catch up. Services were good. We consumed all 21 wine bottles and only opened additional 3 more bottles.
I was prepared to make a lost (due to the auspicious rates) but our frds and relatives were very generous thus breaking even. We are thankful for that. Many of our friends bless us alot.
Of course my jiemeis and his brothers gathered and gatecrash our night. haha played games and we really enjoyed alot.
Huiling and Kevin went to greet us. We were very pleasantly surprised. Our banquet manager was Kosh, He was also very good. Very patient and attended to us all the way. The chef came out and greet us after the dinner ended. another lovely surprise.
the suite was lovely. I really wish i can spent more time inside. hahaha. I told Huiling i will be back next year for 1st year wedding anniversary.
hahhaa
once again... i repeat.... Novotel thanks

All: sorry for the delay in my feedback from NCQ. Have been busy with work after my wedding..
The feedback that I have gotten from NCQ is great!! Majority of the comments I got from my guest is the food… majority of my guests LOVED the food! Probably cos it’s prepared by restaurant… as it is a peak season for wedding, a lot of ppl compared the food from various hotels. M hotel’s food cannot be compared to NCQ…
My experience with NCQ is great as their service is really good. There were no glitches to the AV system, we were also briefed before the 2 march in on what we are suppose to do.
Our table planning is such that we have 41 tables of confirmed guest, but we cater for 40+2 tables. So we closed 1 table on actual day, amounting to 40 tables that day. So the table that we close is our reserved table (no need to pay extra). You may want to take note when planning your tables.
We were quite fortunate that majority of our guest turned up… those last min who never turned up, majority gave ang bao too… and they were all early (cos there were no other wedding/function that day), so I guess parking wasn’t a problem.
We started at 8.15pm and ended at 10.30pm sharp.. a lot of guest stayed throughout (though next day got work) cos every dish came very promptly and dinner ended earlier than usual.
Only thing is that, we didn’t get to eat anything, cos dinner was not sent up to our room.
The room service did call our room, but no one picked up. So they didn’t send the food up. We have feedback this to Kevin anyway.
With regards to ang bao, actually, during the final week when you send reminder, ppl will start saying they cant make it etc… there’s nothing much you can do. It’s hard to rearrange the tables cos of the odd numbers and you can’t possibly invite ppl in the very last min. tables have been confirmed so you cant just reduce the tables… (that’s why the above paragraph on the table planning is impt!) there will be so many other things on your mind that… you will be less concern about making a loss cos the impt thing is to have everything worked out smoothly.
We gave 7 tables to my mom, so losses is inevitable… esp when there are some ppl still living in the olden times, giving very very low ang bao… but losses is minimal for us, most impt thing is we enjoyed ourselves the very day… wedding is not about earning money or reducing expenses… it’s a celebration of 2 person getting together and spending the rest of their lives together! Even if you are able to cover your dinner expenses, there will be so much more money spent elsewhere that is not recoverable… We can always earn the money back... That is what I learnt after my wedding.. We spent almost 30k in all (after deducting the ang bao)...
and still have more to come cos of the developing of photos for relatives, etc…
