As Mare has commented,
It's truly a very eventful month for both me and her!
Updates for the month of July:
On 26 July, LF and I attended his army buddy's wedding @ Conrad Hotel. Very impressive i must say, for a mountain tortoise like me, i feel like i was being served like a VIP!
Once we sat around our designated table, the waiter will come and place the napkins on our laps, and asked what beverage we want. After the couple marched in, there were videos from the very morning, where the brothers and groom went to fetch the bride. They were being tortured quite leniently i must say.. Haha! :D
There were videos of their family members, giving their well wishes to the newly wed couple. Jackson, the groom even video-ed a heartfelt speech for his bride! So touching... :)
Soon after, they began to serve the first dish - cold dish. There're 9 dishes in total. The banquet waitress even came up to us and told us what we will be having, and whether is it ok to serve now or not. Then, they put it on individual plates and serve to us! We dont need to really 'snatch' food on the shared big plate placed in the middle (as what other hotels will do).
2nd dish up will be the Shark's fin soup. It's VERY FILLING! We were given not just 1 small bowl, but a big pot! Hmm, how to describe, like chinese herbal soup when you drink it from a white pot? (1 zhong)
Like this size:
It's big and filling and yummy! After polishing off the shark's fin, i was already 3/4 full!! Haha.. And the next dish, if i am not wrong, is vegetable..
Other dishes includes : Baby Abalone, Ostrich meat (TASTES LIKE CHICKEN! oh ya, both are birds...) Fish, and others.. Cant really remember.. Just remembered that i ate too v full...
Some pics:
Conrad teddy bear door gift. CUTE!

Real roses used for the whole ball room! This was placed in the middle of our table.
Yam Seng ceremony.
We sat there and talked and chatted till about 11+pm..
Took some pics and went back home at 1230am. TIRED.
Light make up! :)
Thank God i took leave in the morning! Hehe.
LF came over to stay and we went out for brunch at Taka - Crystal Jade Dim Sum.
Ordered Xiao long bao, la mian, Bao, and some prata look alike stuff (Very nice!).
Didnt bring my camera out, so you all can just imagine wat we ate! Hehe. Or go Crystal Jade sometime and order what we ate. :D
Next event :
Rachel's last day in JAC - 29 July 09I made this card for her, and all of our team members wrote their well wishes.
Our whole team went out for lunch together on 27 July to this Korean restaurant.
Free side dishes. ALL. Can order more if you want.. FREE!!!
Seems like the resturant is opened by a local korean. NICE!
Kimchiii! :D
Set lunch - $9.90 with free flow of side dishes, drink and dessert.
Rachel and I.
29 July : At about 6pm, she started to give everyone this:

Customer Service cum admin cum Logistics cum Sales team.
*I look quite weird in here*

So sad to see her leave :'(
So, i guess that sums up the month of July!
Looking forward to the end of Aug, because.
my last day in JAC will be on 21st Aug. & i will be fully concentrating on my studies and teaching part time piano for my daily expenses. Hope that everything will be fine and i will be able to finish my degree smoothly!
Coming up on the next post:

Stay tune and God bless!
