Our "Evergreen" DorbyMiaoMiao Plan

ROM in Singapore We will hold our solemnisation on 20 March 2009. I have booked 2 tables in Peony Jade @ Keppel. They are giving us a private room. If needed, they allow us to increase 2 more seats per table. Just pay the prorated additional charges. Re-confirm the details in first week of March.

At first we thought of a few possibilities but they are either too expensive or too inconvenient...
1) Fort Canning Park - X - I said too boring, you agreed. And you said troublesome to ferry people from Fort Canning to makan place.
2) Singapore Flyer - X - You said too pricy.
3) Zoo - X - We both agreed Zoo is not convenient & expensive.

The biggest concern is how to bring our family all the way down south from KL & KK. Every now and then, we watch AirAsia website carefully. We don't want to miss any good deal. Coincidently, Jetstar celebrate the 4th aniversary and we quickly snatched 2 return tickets for RM380 per pax.. Haha... I am as happy and jumpy as the girl in the advertisement.
The next challenge is to look for an affordable accommodation for them. As we were trained to surf internet, we found the best place. We shall book Aloha Changi from 19/03/09 - 21/03/09. It is located near to the airport and Pulau Ubin. REMIND ME to book the room!! Maximum 2 months in advance, which is Jan 09.

Next to do list:
1) Check out the land tour from Creative travels.
2) My sister is getting someone from her church to take outdoor shots for us at Mt Kinabalu and get a set of gown for the dinner in KK. My 3rd sis has a package with bridal studio and she is entitled to take the gown for dinner.
Then we can sign a cheap package to take indoor photos in JB and use the gown for KL & Sg. Flying with the gown can be very tiring because they are very heavy. Should be able to ask the JB studio to compile the photos we took from KK.
3) I am also thinking of a mini honeymoon at Bintan.

Dinner in KK
My mum to prepare guest list. BTW, Jiayi & Amy wants to go KK.
Location:
1) Sutera Harbour - Awaiting their proposal - X
2) Hoi Wong Seng - X
3) Hyatt Regency, Kota Kinabalu - X - This is no longer an option because someone has consumed the deposit.
Hyatt is quite good in terms of location and brand name. Minimum 20 tables. I need to find out whether the package includes "Honeymoon Suite" hehehe...

4) Port View Seafood Restaurant
I'll go find out more in when I'm back for CNY. Most likely 10 tables.
5) May Flower Restaurant -> Final Decision.
Guest list for KK is done.

Customary Wedding & Dinner in KL
To prepare guest list. 7 tables booked on 12 Dec 2009 (Sat)

Honeymoon Destination
A few options to choose from,
1) Japan
2) Tahiti... very nice pictures found online... You know where is it??

Pre-Wedding Preparation
I want to use these bears for the car deco... mow
For wedding band, I've been to a few Singapore jewellery shop like TianPo, Soo Kee, Goldheart etc. I roughly know what I want. Basically, I am looking for matt finished white gold ring with or without diamond. A little bit of rose gold colour. There is this design where the inner part of the ring is rounded. It gives a comfortable fit. I tried and the touch is better than the normal cut. During CNY, I'll survey the price in KK first. No hurry, we can decide in March after finding out the price in KL.
