Just a small update, I hope. Today was restaurant hunting day and the first thing that came into my head this morning "We'll never be able to find the restaurant that has the date we want so badly!" I knew the thoughts that was going thru my wife cause I had the same feeling as well, neither both of us want to get married end of year 2007! It is just too long to wait and unbearable to sit and wait for time to past. But lucky for us we have a few dates to choose from and we are most particular about the month of June 2007. There are too many choices and too many opinions from many many people. I estimated to have 60 tables but that figure might increase once we have finalized our guest list. Since I prefer to hold it at restaurant, we have actually short listed a few before we went rampaging in Klang Valley for Restaurants. They are:- Tai Thong Imperial China Subang Jaya, Tai Thong Dynasty Puchong, Overseas Armada Hotel and a restaurant in Kota Damansara.
Ok here we go，departed from my house arounf 11:30am, proceeded to have our brunch nearby. Soon after we made a dash to our first stop Imperial China Subang (sounded like we're going for a camping trip). I looked at my wife and said to her cross your fingers and wish us well. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by not pretty but friendly waitresses. We were ushered to meet up with the restaurant manager Mr. Lee. To cut the story short, all the dates that we have on our list are all fully booked!!!! OMG! But we tried our luck with the manager on 10th June 2007 which was booked by a fella but have not paid the deposit. My wife and I were aggressive to obtain this date and this is our priority restaurant hence we told the manager that we will give you the deposit of RM3000.00 now, "delete that fuckers name and put ours!!" The manager said no no no, unless he calls that guy and see if he is still interested. Only then he will surrender that beautiful date to us. So he went and call this guy, fucker did not pick up his phone but i insisted that he calls him back again. No answer still. The manager said he will try again later but will put us in the list just in case. Sigh... we left empty handed.
Second stop Tai Thong Puchong, went in greeted by the manager. The first impression wasn't satisfying due to 6 pillars that was going through the restaurant. Let's say we have tables behind the pillars, people won’t be able to see the stage. Table to table space are very limited and can only accommodate 60 tables max. Blah! Anyway the dates that we wanted were all cash deposited, so no chance lor.IV>
Third stop, Overseas Armada, it rained when we got there not a good sign. We were getting tired and rather disappointed by the results we were getting so this will be our final chance to strike gold although we don't really like the place. They are able to cater for 80+ tables.. Met with the supervisor, she showed us that 10th June 2007 was already booked by another idiot who was on our date! But have not paid his deposit, so we did the same thing, i said "give us this damn date, i pay you the deposit!" then she said "oh like that ar? okok i cancel this name and put your name, since they didn't confirm back for 2 weeks already." We just looked at each other finally with a tiny smile. But i know in our minds, Imperial China Subang is still our priority. We are not satisfied still.
Later that afternoon, i called the Imperial China manager again and i told him i am coming over no matter what to pay that deposit. He said no no no again! He didn't manage to call the fucker who booked the date earlier. So he said it's not proper and he will call me back once he has managed to confirm if he is still interested. Sigh!!! Later that day we waited and waited and waited, slept woke up and slept again.
Woke up for dinner yet there was no call from Imperial China Manager. It was a rather dullful nite for dinner, was raining, cold........ Suddenly ring ring ring ring..... my phone rang and it was him our GOD our savior, I was praying that it will be a good news. And indeed it was! That was the sweetest voice I have ever heard in my whole entire life,
My answer was "YOU WAIT FOR ME I COME NOW!"
I sped to the Imperial China, and gave him the deposit. That was the sweetest moment and a huge releave for my wife and me. So be it...... 10th June 2007 and by the way, sorry dude whoever you are, survival of the fittest.
Another hurdle, wedding photos! To be continue.......
