Communication Is the Key

Communication is always the key in every relationship. Before I married Singaporean, I was confident of this relationship. Not only because I've ever been here for exchange program but also I always have a good communication and few argument with my hubby. However, things are not that straightforward. Everything changed when the issues we face getting more complicated. Staying for a short term and experience the culture here doesn't mean I can fully enjoy the time with local family which I realized there is a huge gap of core value in family between my hubby and me.  In the very first stage of our marriage, I always feel unhappy. Due to lack of original family support and poor social network in Singapore, I feel lonely and unhappy which caused the worse communication between my husband and me. The worse is we quarreled again and again until both of us realized the conflicts are from the gap between our core value of family and lifestyle due to our different background. I ...

My Solemnisation Venue - Tong Le Private Dining

Image
I'm glad we finally settle down everything for our solemnization. Both of us don't want to spend too much time and effort so we wanted to have solemnization in ROM initially. After consult friends, they all suggest holding solemnization out of ROM because it's one of the lifetime experience!

Fortunately, the restaurant Tong Le Private Dining is as good as the photos they sent to us. Both of us like the view surrounding Marina Bay and the idea of revolving restaurant which allow us to enjoy 360 degree view during solemnization. In addition, the location is convenient. Only a few minutes walk to Singapore icon - Merlion which I highly recommend to people who have family from overseas having small solemnization here.

How I Choosing Our Solemnization Venue and Some Practical Advise

Image
Looking for ROM venue is not easy. I plan my ROM only 2 months away from actual solemnization day. Luckily we choose a weekday lunch. If not, I believe most venues are not available on the auspicious dates, especially in the weekends. So if you can, just book earlier once you decide the date. Initially, we would like our solemnization to be intimate, casual and colonial or natural style with only 15 guests and $150 budget per person. I've seen so many beautiful cafe, such as Halia, white rabbit and Cafe Melba where are so beautiful with greenery. However, we are not allowed to hold our solemnization there due to the minimum guests :( Luckily after doing some research, we finally shortlisted Empress, Lewin Terrace, and Tong Le Private Dining. Empress Empress is a traditional Chinese food in a contemporary dining room. The solemnization will be holding in Empress private room which is 廣東 private room in the 2nd photo. We really like Empress with it's traditional Chinese...
