The Dinner

Dinner Banquet of choice is Mandarin Oriental. Why not Regent? I was asked plenty of times. Well... because Alex, (my ex-kitchen consultant who never failed to impress me with his recommendations of food) says to try MO. If Alex says MO then MO it shall be!! Anyway MO is one of my fav hotel chains as well...Introducing our receptionists - my lovely cousins Yvonne and Violet. And Ken's sister, Felicia. Strawberries abundant and I can see that Feli is openly munching on the job... tsk tsk New Boss, old boss. Mika Koponen and Andrew Moore.
Grandmother in law is really happy that her Ah Ken is finally married.
Frank has to make the grand entrance as usual.My extremely pretty friends - limin and peizhi, (unfortunatly both very married). ShuFei (married), Kaijun (getting hitched Dec 2010!) and the happy family! Major thank you goes to Shujun who produced the stunning corsages and hand bouquet and Whyee, my bridesmaid!Tsuto Sakamoto, my ex-prof on the left and on the right. the extremely talented Sheila & family. She is the designer of my bridal and evening gown. BTW, why are her sons so tall? Where did the genes come from? Looks like Feli is not the only one huge on strawberries... Dear Kim, Charlie says you are a pro on slide presentation. we think so too...Unexpected last minute changes in table arrangements. Mimi announcing to Frank & wife that she is going to split their family into 3 seperate tables.... Aiyah, being the nicest uncle has its disadvantages...
"Good evening ladies and gentlemens.... please welcome Mr and Mrs Loh!!!!". Winny and Ivan doing a fantastic job being emcees for the evening!Ho Ho Ho.... lets pretend to cut a fake cake!! Ok I know this is our wedding but I always thought that this fake cake things is bizzare... Oh yah, and the dance parade of the first dish.... real passe, i did not know people are still doing it. Heard that the architects died of laughter watching. Food.. is good... I heard... u know I did not eat much that day!
