Thomas, touchwood! No morning sickness already 
Sometimes when i'm too tired, will feel nauseous or faint but managable. I will cry tears of joy when my AD is over...too many problems cropping up from both sides, v tiring to keep solving the problems and entertain them..zzz...Oei, why you go around asking people if they are trying for bb? LOL. Soon, it will be your turn, heh.
hannah, i've added you! I went for gown fitting when i was 5.5mth preg, ok leh...surprisingly don't look pregnant at all esp when i wear the gowns with can-can. But then hor, my waist was 31" lor. Now is 35" liao. Collecting the gowns a few days before my AD, i already called my BS and said now my waist much thicker liao ah, haha. They just told me nvm, go and try again, they will alter on the spot. My teadress is empire-cut thou so that one no worries. I reduced the 9dishes to 8dishes because now my parents want to take back their side of the angbaos, haiz. I worry not enough $ because i'm delivering after CNY already, need to prepare for bb's stuff. But i upgraded the Garoupa to Codfish because during food tasting, really everyone doesn't like the Garoupa lor. Hope i get to taste the codfish!
lilmspep, ya the thought of AD already makes me feel tired. But i will tahan lor...try to keep my mood light and happy so i can get through the whole day...really wish to greet my guests happily else it's like, people bother to dress up and attend your big day and you give an exhausted face, so not nice.

thanks snowangel for the advise! so glad to hear that man...hehe..
All: I attended a wedding at Novotel yday! haha..some comments and feedback as a guest...
The crystal theme...is quite dangerous lei...cos they have candles dangling at the aisle... so ppl walk pass the crystal and will tend to hit onto it... i was worried that my hair will catch fire...haha.. but i'm more worried when there are kids running around... super dangerous.. luckily yday not much kids...
there is also no floorplan placed outside the ballroom... when i entered the room, i was like looking at each table's table number and trying to find for my table..
food wise was ok... but the food during food tasting and AD is really different.... haha... shark fin was starchy!! during food tasting it was ok one lo... their prawns also not as fresh..
other than that, the rest are fine.. heard some feedback that the venue is quite good.. compared to other hotel ballroom.

I went to a dinner two days ago. The food was horrendous.
Shark's fin was very starchy and no visible shark's fin at all. Everyone tried a sip or two and left it there.
The red garoupa was hard even though it is red garoupa. Nobody cut and divided the fish for us.
Almost the whole fish was left there.
The braised abalone mushroom tasted like plastic. Almost the whole plate was left untouched as well.
Prawns were not fresh for wok-fried prawns.
The two only good food is ee-fu noodles and yam ring.
Nobody dare to tell the couple about the bad food.
Hopefully when it comes to my turn, it will turn out well.

It was really very bad.
Btw, the fish was COLD. That's why nobody wanted to eat the fish.

I think nobody will tell the couple when the dishes were really bad because we do not want to make the couple to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. I am a person who is not so particular about food and I gave such comments. I can't imagine what my friends would say because there was one who spit the abalone mushroom out and almost vomited out due to the bad plasticky taste. I told my friends if mine is really as bad as that, pls inform me because I am not a person who is scared of embarrassment.
But I heard that her VIP table dishes were pretty good and the fish was literally hot.

shirley>> true.. ha~ most impt is the ambience, cos' we no chance to eat the hot piping food too!
thinking abt asking jiemeis and siongdis to help, but also want them to enjoy... so probably get more friends to divide the job and everyone can have time to catch up with one another...

Same as the others, I also like the ballroom because it's big and pillarless with high ceiling. It gives a warm positive feeling.
If the food can improve, that's the best!

hi everyone, i'm back!! Havent checked here for a long time cos i had a round 2 in KL last wkend. so just came back to work only...
Overall was ok, but there were some cok-ups that night which was quite upsetting. Havent sent my feedback to NCQ yet, been 2 wks Kevin was my coordinator. He's ok...but abit too rigid which my coordinators didnt like. Our program got to change becos of him. But overall still ok la..got room for improvement though. Food wise, my parents & relatives complain it was not hot enough. But my colleagues say the noodles, fish and yam paste dessert were very nice. My friends complain the flower stands aong the aisle were too high and block part of their view
To those soon to be married, fret not! NCQ is still a good choice. I love their private reception area and it's really value for money for its location

hi all, i just had my wedding lunch at novotel on 29th nov, sun. overall, i am quite pleased with their service, though the food standard wasn't as good as food tasting's one.
i especially love the ambiance and the cute dance the waiters and waitress performed during the 1st dish served.

congrats wish4ver, nice to hear more gd things bt NCQ. =)
hmm... keep seeing ppl post abt the 1st dish "dance"... how's it like actually? my htb is afraid of cheesy songs...
wonder if anyone did first dance at NCQ stage?
probably need parquet flooring, but not sure if the stage can have portion of it with parquet...

Hi All,
i am back!!!! was quite contented with what happened last sunday! the bridal suite was nice with a good view of clark quay! like the cute couple bears!!
our lunch banquet also went smooth, however not enough time to Yum Seng with all the tables, Kelvin who is our banquet coordinator that
day was really helpful and remind us to do this and that, he will help u to lift ur dress when u go up the stage, take drinks for us...
we forgot to take all our songs that we have compile and luckily Novotel have their own songs, if not will be so quiet!!
for the food part, i have some mix reviews from our guests! one say the fish is cold and fishy, one table says the fish is really fresh and nice, however many ppl commented that that proached prawns are really fresh! alot love the Eee-fu noodles!
i can say overall the food is satisfying!

sorry giselle, made a mistake in my post above...a comfortable figure will be 21 in cinnamon room, anything more than that will be cramped. It can hold up to 26 tables from what I was told.
