After knowing that the function room at Raymond’s parents’ condo is not available, I went back office to do research immediately on Monday,27/04/09. Thought of Safra initially but quite inaccessible. I contacted the community centre behind Flora’s house and they inform they may be able to help.
So I went to the CC with Raymond and Emma to take a look. The area the CC staff showed me is very nice. In fact, they used it for solemnization. I mentioned to the staff that I need to include food for my guest and they suggested the classroom beside it. I can also hide all the friends there. I’ll try to come out with a sketch of the place and post it here.
Anyway, they informed that I will have to contact their solemnizer to confirm the place. Had dinner after visiting the place with Raymond and Emma and had more discussion. I think I will not be able to get 25 friends since most of them are not free. I have updated the confirmed friends list of the right with (C) meaning Confirm, (P) meaning Pending.
Therefore, we decide to go with 5 roses in the small bouquet and get 15 bouquets.
Went to office to call the solemnizer and confirm the place on Tuesday, 28/04/09. He told me to go to the CC to book the room soon. So I had to make another trip down, this time with another purposes, to check whether the LCD TV can be use as my projected screen.
The initial plan was to have the projector and projector screen which cost $300/- to rent. But upon discovering the TV, Raymond suggested it could be use for projection of the video-photo montage. Luckily, the staff there mentioned other couples whom had used the area for solemnization had use it to connect to their laptop before.
So I book the room, including the class room beside, at $130/- for 2 hours. On second thoughts, should have book 2 more hours for the class room so as not to rush hor. Nevermind, I will check the availability again.
Finally completed the PowerPoint slide yesterday and quite happy with the presentation. However, I think I am lousy with words and have to let some friends comment on it before I call it the final draft.
Flora went out with Yi Qian today. Although I sound quite sad that I have to send the night before a holiday alone, I am actually glad that I can finish the slides.
The days left to the “Operation” day is nearing and I guess the only outstanding is the food.
Got to source for caterers to confirm the food soon. So happy that I’ve got so many things completed this week. Will update soon…
