It was rather unusual to have a wedding on a week day as the turn out of the guests will be very unpredictable. Last night Jeffrey and I were invited to attend his friend's wedding banquet at Goodwood Park Hotel. It was my first time attending a wedding banquet on a Tuesday night and I wondered if the turn out will be affected. True enough once we reached, the Bridegroom was complaining to us that many of his guests back out at the very last minute. He had prepared about 27 tables + 1 reserved. In the end there were about 3 to 4 tables empty. It is quite risky to hold banquet on a week day for another obvious reason, the 'ang bao' money might be lesser... I am sure many of us will feel that it is definitely cheaper to hold banquets on week days therefore people will not give as much compared to weekend banquets.
I am quite a regular at Goodwood Park hotel, don't get the wrong idea, I frequent their restuarants like Min Jiang, Tatsuya and their high tea not forgetting their delicious cakes and pastries. I have to be fair and say that couples who had their wedding banquet there or are planning to will be guaranteed with good food. I love the food at Min Jiang, they are very establish and it is also value for money. What I want to say is that wedding dinner held during week days will not be any inferior than weekends. What's most important is the venue and the food.
My 1st photo with a Christmas tree for this year.
I bought this evening dress in Bangkok at Platinum, it cost me only 1000 Thai Baht. It is cheap and good!

Love my red Chanel! I can use it for Chinese New Year!
Happy to see couples tiying the knot! Jeff & I always reminise our own wedding when we attend friend's wedding banquet.

She is getting difficult to take a decent photo with her, she struggles all the time.

Lizabeth was so delighted when everyone started singing to her, she was a real star!
