Planning a wedding is never easy. It requires many people’s help here and there plus lots of network. Wthout external help, it is nearly impossible to organise a wedding. Yes, you can still do it. But it will require more effort and time.

?To elaborate, for example, my friend in NUS let me know of finding the necessary info from singaporebrides.com. Without her supplying me the info, I may have to spend more time on the internet searching for the right info. You can find the post here https://romance-fire.com/?p=8

Winter in Korea

I really look forward to our honey moon in December and how I hope we can fly to Korea tomorrow.

Actually for the past few weeks, both of us are already cutting out newspaper articles of travel fair. There are so many fairs lately. Chan brothers la, SA Tour la..another ATS I think…

In fact we wanted to wait for the NATAS travel fair in Expo in late September. But we felt it is really risky. What if we can’t book it then?

Planning a honeymoon is not easy. We really wanted to see snow and this is the first trip we are going together. We are going to make it really meaningful.

Normally, we knew there will be amny fairs around this period of time. This si when the travle agencies want to capture the markets for September and December holidays. Some agencies even offer Honeymoon package but the price is the same. They will give you some meaningless freebies like bouquet of flower, an album and a free bottle of wine. We are looking for REAL discounts like 20% per cent off the cost.

Autumn in Korea

This tour cost at least $4.5K and have yet to include the amount of money we bringing over as cash. It is an once in lifetime trip and so we are really looking forward to it.

I’m looking at the itinery now. It is really packed. We will be taking domestic flight to Jeju once we reach Incheon airport and only staying in jeju for a day. Then another day at Ski resort. Then back to Seoul. The group size is 44 and oh my…hope everyone will be considerate and not wait for each other too long…whatever it is, we are going to enjoy together and let me count the days one by one…so would you want to share me about your honey moon trip?

We went for our food tasting today. A table for ten people was arranged in a function room specially reserved for us. And we had a waitress allocated to serve us and to explain to us the food we were eating. I’m not used to the classy environment and for a moment, I felt “wow”.

We even had to fill up an evaluation form to rate the dishes and give our comments.

Here is the menu for tonight: Enjoy!!! :p “Hope it won’t make you hungry!”

1. Cold & Hot Platter- Roast Duck, Prawn salad, Japanese Octopus, Pacific Clams, Top Shell

Comment: The chicken is too salty and we requested it to be changed to suckling pig. The octopus would be just nice if less salty.

2. Shark’s fin soup with crabmeat and conpoy

Comment: Wow…it was really dense and so concentrated with shark fins…so dense that I could hardly stir…but then hor…is it like that for food tasting so we will be impressed and the quantity will differ on the actual day?

3. Cispy Pi-pa duck

Comment: The skin was really crispy and you can let it be crunched in your mouth. :p A bit salty though but the decor was nicely done.

4. Mixed mushrooms wrapped with beancurd skin in bamboo pith

Comment: I love it especially the beancurd skin.

5. Stir-fried prawns with apple mayonnaise

Comment: The apples were cut too big and taste sour…”yucks”…mismatch with the prawns…maybe mango will be better. The “you tiao” is abit extra.

6. Stir-fried fresh scallops with celery in xo sauce

Comment: The scallops were fresh and delicious and soft. Very good!!! 😀

7. Garoupa, deep fried with thai sauce

Comment: The chilli is too hot for poor me who can’t eat chilli at all and I got choked by the chilli bits till my eyes were teary. We changed it to garoupa steamed with supreme black sauce.

8. Braised ee-fu noodles with crabmeat and chives

Comment: By now, my stomach was very bloated and I couldn’t eat anymore. Okie, can we ta-bao back?…we only asked for half-a-bowl serving of noodles but to me, still alot. Later must walk home lor.

9. Chilled sweetcorn with water chestnut
