Singapore Marriott Hotel Wedding Workshop

My Dear and I were among the hundreds of participants who flocked the Marriott Hotel on Thursday 30 July 09 evening for the wedding workshop organized by the hotel.

All of us, the participants were treated to a sumptous and delectable buffet treat! We were satiated with Western, Japanese and Chinese fare prepared by the hotel! There was a galore of cakes, sushi and desserts too. The dinner was really of a high quality, befitting the reputation of Marriott Hotel.

There were on-the-spot competitions: counting the number of apples contained in 3 jars (the answer was 103); I told my Dear as it was hard to count, I just put down the romantic number of '99' on the competition entry form, thinking it should be the right answer, thinking I was a gensius at work, haha!

The workshop was unlike any other workshop,there was no talk, I should have called this workshop a showcase cum exhibition instead.

The workshop was held in a swanky hall and the hall was elaborately decorated, just like what a wedding dinner hall is decorated, repleted with all the wedding dinner table, equipment and memorabilia. The purpose for this setting, in my opinion, is of course to showcase to the workshop participants how grand their wedding dinner would be if they choose Marriott! There were, of course, booths promoting wedding photo services, wedding card and other wedding favours services, geomancy services for those who insist on a very auspicious wedding date and many others more!

The highlight of the night was the lucky draw when the organizers selected some lucky winners who penned an entry describing 'What is the most important element in a wedding'. The lucky couple walked away with a free wedding dinner worth $50,ooo from Marriott Hotel, wow, it was great, they have saved $50,000 in their wedding preparations!

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
