Wedding Banquet at Sime Darby Convention Centre

December 23, 2008

The Chinese food at Sime Darby Convention Centre is awesome!

Generous servings and very tasty.

Fish and prawns were really fresh too.

A great venue to consider in your list of venue sourcing for large banquets.

I was really happy with the speed of their servings.

Their food presentation, however, was quite plain and simple.

Lighting system has its limitation though, but if you are not planning for fanciful effects, then its current house lights should be adequate.

Ample parking space for your guests, and best of all, it’s free!

Counting Down to Christmas!

December 11, 2008

Boy oh boy…Christmas is a joyous occasion. It’s a time for parties, presents and food. Time to do my rounds. Santarina’s going around town to hand out these eye-candy, scrumptious goodies to friends, associates and clients. They are just so pretty I couldn’t resist snapping some pictures!

These tiny little brownie pops are home-made cuties. My sis also made some miniature chocolate cakes and fruit cakes to cater to different tastes. Talk about talent! She’ll only be turning 17 by end of this month.  Some handmade cards I made for a selected few. It’s all customised to match the personality and business nature of the end receivers.

Here’s wishing everyone a blessed Christmas and a prosperous 2009!! *snowman hugz*

Blues & Tunes

December 9, 2008

Days like today is a great day to hibernate within the confines of my room. It’s a public holiday. The roads are quiet but I have no intention just yet to go out. It’s been raining cats and dogs all morning. The sky is dark and gloomy, with just a weak ray of sunshine peeking through the heavy clouds. It’s a great time to free the mind and simply indulge in doing nothing at all. It has been a hectic week, I shall not feel guilty about being unproductive today.

With a book in hand and the strong aroma of freshly brewed dark roasted coffee lingering amidst the cool after rain breeze, I switch on my player and snuggle up comfortably onto the soft lush edges of my dark brown suede sofa. A peaceful moment of quiet bliss.

There is no point to this post, really. As the soft music gently caresses my senses, I decide to share a few of my favourite must-haves in my playlist.

*Remember to switch Berry (the Boom Bear) off if you wanna play the videos.

The Closest Thing to Crazy - Katie Melua

This song is from her very first album a few years ago but it never fails to set the mood for a relaxing afternoon. “Just like Heaven” from her latest album is just as beautiful.

C’est si Bon - Arielle Dombasle

I am a huge fan of Arielle Dombasle! Her songs are great for pre-dinner cocktails or to set the mood for an afternoon delight. Her version of C’est si Bon is the best!

I Will be Here - Steven Curtis Chapman

Steven Curtis actually wrote this song for his daughter and the lyrics are very meaningful. I nearly cried when one of my couples sang this song at their wedding. Thereafter, it became my top 20 play list.

L.O.V.E -Frank Sinatra

A rather common song for weddings but the subtle playfulness in its catchy melody and not too cheesy lyrics never fail to make me sing or prance along to the tunes (even if I’m seated!).  Whose version is better? Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra?

Olivia Ong’s version is fantastic too!


Joss Stone - Right to be Wrong

Her husky voice gives a sultry, soul-ful character to every song she sings but this one’s my favourite.

Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz

I can play it over and over again and still fall in love all over again with the song (and Jason Mraz). Awesomeness!!

That’s all for now. Have a great week ahead! I know I have much to look forward to *grin*

Back to my book, coffee’s getting cold.

A Tribute to Tian Leng

December 1, 2008

Exactly one year ago, my one and only beloved brother, who was also my faithful business partner, friend and teammate, suffered severely from a fall that eventually took his life two nights later on December 3, 2007.

Officially, he was only involved in two projects - OYL Manufacturing and British American Tobacco (ASPAC) functions. He was the muscle man behind the scene when I needed to do some heavy lifting. A good listener and opinionated during discussions and brain-storming, he was ever ready with a smile and always the spirited one even in stressful times.

After 365 days, the pain of losing someone dear feels strangely raw. As quoted by Rose Kennedy, “It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds’. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone.”

I started drafting this post a month ago, but time and time again, I can never find the right words. I guess, all that needed to be said had already been said.

So, here’s a tribute to you, my brother.

A project that transpired from his passing, Decorateur will be launched on December 3, 2008. The hard copies are work in progress and will only be out third quarter of 2009. With a tagline, “Creativity is My Lifestyle”, the weekly-updated blogazine is really all about living out your life to the fullest. Read editor’s message for further details.

Thank you for touching our lives in more ways that you could have ever known. Rest in peace.

“If I had my life to live over, I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax; I’d limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I’m one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I’ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.” - Nadine Stair -
