2 Weddings In A Day

I am honored to be invited to attend weddings but this is the 1st time that both weddings happened on the same day. Well, it’s the HOT date for wedding couples as it’s the Moon Cake festival. Many people believed that this day is extremely auspicious to tie the knot.




Early this afternoon, I went to Orchard Hotel to grace the wedding ceremony of Julia and Jason. It was my 1st time attending an 8-course wedding luncheon. It was interesting and when the doors are closed and with those lightings, it seemed it was a dinner instead.







The couple held exchanged their wedding vows on stage and I was really glad that I was there to grace this occasion. I was seated with the usual suspects and we had loads of fun within our table and we took many pictures of ourselves… okay… we noticed that it’s a wedding and we supposed to take more pictures of the couple but somehow we were out of control… hahhahahaha

When evening came, I prepared myself again for another wedding dinner and this time it was held at Sheraton Towers. Our Ainsles’ second son’s wedding. It was very grand and the ballroom held about 40 tables. It was beautifully decorated.




The food was quite alright but the serving was way too slow. I left before the dessert was served as I was feeling feverish … there goes my Or-nee…. Sob sob….


Congratulations to both wedding couples.

The Beautiful Hua Hin

Our 1st visit to Hua Hin was about 3 years back. I like the place as it’s really relaxing and it’s really a romantic place for couples to spend some quality time together.

This trip, after 2 shopping days in Bangkok, it’s time to lay back. It was a two and half hours drive from Bangkok city. We check ourselves in to the resort ‘Let’s Sea’ in Hua Hin. When we arrived, I was amazed by how beautifully the hotel was designed. This small boutique hotel has only 40 rooms and no children under 12 are allowed. Well, it’s really quiet and very suitable for couples who want to spend some quiet time… this is really what I called, ‘Get-Away’.



Our room was fantastic, very spacious and I simply loved the balcony…. The most convenient way to get to the pool is via the balcony! Man… it was so great! I can’t wait to jump into the pool when I got to our room. The concept was interesting and very chic.





Without wasting our time, I changed and soaked myself under the sun for a good 1 hour and then prepared myself for a good massage in their small town. Took the shuttle bus to the small town and got ourselves into a 2 hours Thai massage. Initially I was excited and during the session, I felt that I could be in the circus already! My body was twisted to the max and there were some ‘stunts’ I never knew I could do!! Very funny indeed.

Italian cuisine was our choice for dinner which was a few shops away from the massage place. We had been there on our last trip and found it really good. The boss & chef were Italians and price weren’t costly though it’s a casual restaurant.


The weather didn’t allow us to shop or explore the small town as it started to pour on us. It was very rare of us to rent video from our hotel front desk to watch it in our room but we did. It was indeed enjoyable to watch some movies which we have missed in the comfort of our own room.

Hua Hin…. I will visit you again…

I Love Bangkok

Despite the current situation or perhaps I should say… State of Emergency, we went ahead with our original plan to visit Thailand. We read so much about the protest in Bangkok and even our own government informed Singaporeans to postpone their trips.

The airplane was not as crowded but it was certainly comfortable as we got our own space and wasn’t that noisy. I enjoyed the flight very much than usual. When we arrived in Bangkok, we looked out for our hotel limo as we heard it was safer to use them instead of the usual hotel limo which was many times cheaper.


It was our 1st time taking the hotel limo in any country and it was quite an experience I must say. The driver was professional and the Benz was definitely more comfortable than the usual van we took. They served us water in the car and the 40 minutes ride was fantastic.

We arrived at Conrad Bangkok and the hotel was situated in a business district which is pretty far from the main shopping paradise. We were escorted up to our room and it was just simply great. The room was big and I simply loved the bathroom. Our view wasn’t great though as it was surrounded by office buildings.





After freshening up, we went out shopping right away. Took the hotel shuttle bus to the nearest train station and took their MRT. It was pretty convenient to travel around in Bangkok with that service without using taxi. The city was not too crowded and it definitely made shopping much easier than before. There were no queues at the shopping mall cashier and no need to fight for fitting rooms.


Our 1st dinner was at our all time favourite Coca Steamboat. It was much cheaper to eat there than back home. We ordered quite a bit of dishes and we ate at our own pace. It was so good and enjoyable.



The night ended off lying down on the heavenly bed… snnnzzzzzzzzz……

Outing With The Galz

We used to meet pretty often back in those days and time spent with friends became lesser when all of us started working and slogging our everyday work life… I am really glad and blessed that no matter how long we have not seen or chat with each other, there is always something to talk about whenever we meet.

This evening, met up with my crazy friends whom I know when I started our ‘Time Tables’ in primary school. We have been crazy since then and till date, we are still CRAZY! Hahahahaahaha… It was great to have conversation over a simple dinner. There was so much to catch up as our last outing was couple of months back.
The crazy bunch
Vivian & Ron
Me & my twin
awwww...

After dinner, we chilled out at coffee bean and continue our talks and though it was a short night, I thoroughly enjoyed the moments with them.






Thanks pal… love you guyz!

Yan Ting

It’s another lunch date with our boss and this time round, he brought us to Yan Ting at St. Regis which was so-called known as the new ‘SIX STARS’ hotel worrrh….

Well, I was extremely excited to visit this hotel as I have never been there. When we arrived at the entrance, my impression was like… ‘woww… I felt like Vivian in Pretty Woman’… and when I entered the lobby, it was nice but somehow I felt COLD! Aiya… not the air-con that was too strong la… it’s too quite for a hotel! I was surprised that there were neither check-in counters nor any other service counters nearby… I wondered why and where the hell they check themselves in. Overall, I could only say that it’s a very nice, quiet stylish hotel.

We lunched at Yan Ting, their one & only Chinese restaurant. It was located on the 2nd floor and décor was gorgeous and quiet. I could figure out the quietness as there were only 3 tables occupied during lunch, man… can you beat that!


We were ushered to a cozy table where tables were separated only by curtains. It was indeed interesting décor and environment but somehow the service wasn’t that fantastic. After placing our dim sums orders, Linda asked for chili padi but they took quite a while to serve. Only after reminding them, they told us that it had ran out of it and they were cutting the fresh ones then. I was taken by surprised for that sort of service in a so-called SIX STARS hotel lor.

Minowa-san ordered quite a bit of dim sums to share. Despite the poor service, the food was considerably good but not fantastic. I enjoyed the Sichuan soup that boss ordered but not the char siew buns and the pig’s trotter in vinegar. It was rather sweet instead of sour. Sigh…totally disappointed man.

Heading there again… I guess not unless it’s FREE!
