YEAHS! FEELING VERY HAPPY NOW!

it took many months of sourcing before this venue for solemnization is decided. For the last few months, there were really much headache thinking and considering the various locations. from outdoor locations such as fort canning to indoor locations like seb bistro, safra mount faber and nus, more than 10 places were researched upon. Kudos to dear for his persistence in researching for an ideal location. his persistence to find the type of view i would dream off within our tight budget is really amazing, never failed to caught me with surprises with his new options.

Somehow none actually caught my attention at first sight. Each has it's pros and cons. Though some of the places astonished me with their pretty view, it just didn't struck me as "the one". I dreamt of holding it in a location with beautiful natural scenary yet something simple not elaborated given that we are only working on a budget of 2k. to me, that was an almost impossible task.

finally, this location came up on wed. looking at the photo taken by dear when he sneaked out in the midst of studying. it looks normal. it was a move initiated to rank our options so far to allow us to eliminate the location. my top position was raffles house, his was a last minute addition to the list of competitors. up till today, i was almost convinced of holding it at raffles house, starting my preparation on the budgeting and planning required. but in the afternoon, we decided to take a look at his first choice for the last time to convince us of our final decision.

the first impression was good when i stepped into the carpark. stepping into the restaurant, i was stunned by the beauty. the intristic design of the interior was amazing. though it may not have the best of everything, what bought me over was ultimately the view from the balcony and the marble partitions. i have a weakness for marble. yes, this is love at first sight.

this addition to the competition was only announced for competition 3 days ago, yet i was so taken over by the place that it won first place in both our hearts. i knew this is the place and it did not take another session to decide. on the spot, the reservation was made for 03 March 2012.

in due course, this location will be revealed :)
