FIshed My Way to Made of Honour

Remember the fishing game that I posted about earlier? And guess what, I was the highest scorer. LOL. The event was took place on Thursday night at Marriot's with an 8 course meal followed by a special movie screening of Made of Honor right over the streets at GSC Pavilion.

You know what, I actually believed that we're suppose to arrive at 6. I think most of the Nuffnangers were early, and the auntie uncles were well... late lah of course! After having a glass of juice and a glass of champagne, we were finally admitted into the ball room. Before going in, Cy and I overheard the waiter guy speaking into his walkie-talkie to 'stand by at 7.35'. And it was 7.20 then. Well, 15mins seems nothing compared to 1.5hours of waiting. Argh.

Juices

Champagne

But the courses were actually served quite rapidly for us to make it in time for the movie at 9.45pm. Before you can even finish one course, they are already waiting to serve you another. Aiyo you guys know how slow I eat...

Bagpipers

Before this, I was half hoping that the dinner would be an 8 course Western cuisine. It turned out to me neither Western or the traditional Chinese, but a fusion of Western + Chinese + Malaysian. They have dishes like what? Mangga Kerabu? Doubtful. However, it turned out to be fab.

Pineapple Chutney with Smoked Duck,
Seared Tiger Prawn with Tomato Salsa enhanced with Kerabu Mangga

Shredded Chicken and Bamboo Pith Soup

Sauteed Julienne of Seafood with Curried Mushroom Cream Sauce served in Tam Ring

Steamed Seabass with Thai Sauce accompanied with Chinese Steamed Lotus Leaf Rice

Roasted Chicken Parcel on Pencil Asparagus

Saffron Risotto with Buttered Baby Carrots

Chocolate Moist Cake with Fruit Coulis,
Tropical Fresh Fruits served with Haagen Dazs

The last course was coffee/tea. No need pictures lah. Stuff in the goodie bag...



Our table was no.35, total number of tables - 50. 10 tables for bloggers with 2 tables of Nuffnang VIPs. Those who were present included Timothy Tiah, Pink Pau, Cheesie (Cy was the excited one :P), Suet Li, etc etc... Despite being an avid reader of their blogs, it's really thrilling to see them in person! I felt really grateful since as a blogger I'm merely 2 months old and there I was, attending my very first blogger event with such famous names in the blogosphere. But I was still too timid to actually mingle around. :(

Fellow Nuffnagers - Cy and I, Han Sheng and Yuh Hui

Some of the entertainment during dinner included choosing the most talented couple, bagpipes, and games of course. The most talented pair was 9 + 14! Heck, they really rocked the crowd with their sizzling Salsa moves!

I actually licked it to prove that it's edible

Down to Part II of the night - movie screening.




We all adjourned to Pavilion after the scrumptious dinner. When we got nearer to the cinema, I heard bagpipe music which got louder and louder. Omg. There were actually a bagpipe band performing in front of the cinema entrance to welcome us. How often do you get people playing BAGPIPES greeting when you watch a movie? F-a-b.

That's what everyone does the whole night -
pics pics pics and pics... even in the cinema

Since the movie will only be officially on screen on the 19th of June, I felt obliged to say something about it. It's a rather typical romance flick actually, but you can see the other side of Patrick Dempsey in the movie. He's nothing like what you've seen in Enchanted! In fact, the very opposite. And some of the scenes took part in Ireland - that explains the bagpipes - which were beautiful. Although the movie was not exactly my fav, it's definitely worth watching if you enjoy romantic comedies; or maybe, if you enjoy watching Patrick Dempsey.


p/s: A very happy birthday to fellow Satlaiser Lum Ji Yan. Really sorry for not making it to the club last
nite :(
