But somehow the photos did not turn out!!!
Through Jo who works for the Pacific Beverage, we found a really nice venue for our wedding party called Picotin, which is owned by the celebrity chef on Asian Food Channel, "Chef in Black".
I don't know if anyone who received our Wedding invitation email noticed, but we had Cicada in mind and were pretty fixed on it (or otherwise we won't put it in our invitation ya?)But through our course of discussing plans with Cicada and the tasting session, we got worried, and finally gave up. For example, for one of the 'finger food', we asked yakitori and they served chicken stake on a skewer...that kind of thing.
So anyway, we went to Picotin with Keith - the organizer/flower arrangement man, Brad - the DJ and Inez my, well, Brides maid if I would.
We were pretty relaxed and enjoying the day, maybe too much.
Keith fell in a pretty deep gutter, and was a laughing stock of kids around there.
5 of us, while we waited for the taxi, bumped into the very own Emmanuel Stroobant a.k.a Chef in Black. Matt started being gay with him and got us to ride his open car to Orchard!
4 people at the back seat is illegal in Singapore, but I guess with this friendly chef driving and Matt next to him, we could have got away with any offense.
Then we went to Cuscaden road's tiny dingy bar for the cheapest beer in town (on Tuesday). And we met 'Nicola Devine' - a Canadian Blues and Jazz singer who a resident singer at Brix.
She was first very fierce and dark but again, with Matt's teasing, she soon became sweet and nice.The closest I got to Alannis Morisette (and she would hate to hear that!) http://www.myspace.com/nicoladevine
Check her out!

So much going on for place search. I guess, that is how it's suppose to be. Can't let people down, right?

It was nice seeing you in Singapore Fumiko-san!

And thanks for offering your help Onechan.
It's actually not at all difficult!
I guess that's why choosing the right place is important - so we don't have to worry a lot.
