well, I have finally gotten my dates for the banquet dinner.
and now busy finalising the details for the big do!

and I am so toying with the idea of organising my own banquet dinner, bringing in my own caterer for the event and do up my own deco, so that I can cut costs to the barest minimum and do without all the extra frills that I dont really need. (Eg ike some stupid ice sculpture with strawberries and flowers - can eat one anot?!)

It is a very challening tasks and hubby seems to be edging me on. At least he is now trying to help with the "ala-carte" banquet planning. * thank you darling muacks *

I mentioned to his mother yesterday that the date's been finalised and she wanted to locate hotel for me. I told her I dont want lao-ya* hotel and to leave the planning to me because I have already did whatever I needed to do.

I also told her that We are BROKE from the house reno, wedding so on... do you think she gets what I am trying to drive at?

Today I am going site-visiting 2 hotels to talk to the banquet managers and see their previous wedding portfolio.

and his mother mentioned something that I think I needed to clear the air about that is... Hotels located along the orchard belt are much cheaper. Excuse me... that is so wrong wrong wrong. i'm not going for furama or amara hotel okie! Those a mere 80$ will suffice!

These hotels im shortlisting cost more than 100$ per head okie! Wah lau.. what era is she still living in?!

Thank goodness I am the one shortlisting the hotels! haha

*lao-ya means no good in local dialect.
