Amid all these economies crisis, to get this little reward add a little “sparkle” to our family, especially towards my “semi-retirement” goal...hee.
As his pay day falls on 10th of the month, we could not confirm if the monetary reward will come in this April or May 2009.
So on Wednesday, he did a quick check in his salary via the company's intranet and confirmed that the addition dollars was in the pay. Immediately, the PA (that's me!!) sent out an official invitation to the extended families for the weekend treat.
The PA immediately went into action in sourcing the venue for the treat. Recently I received my UOB Privileges booklet and was looking at the special of the month.
*BINGO* I saw this 1- for-1 BUFFET Lunch/Dinner at Melting Pot Café (Holiday Inn Atrium).
Immediately I called the café and did a quick check and BOOKED the seats for 10 people + 1 infant ...hee. According to the person who answered the call, the café is having an Italian Cuisine for the Saturday diners.
On Saturday, we arrived at the café around 6.30pm, Adrian said since we were the host, must go early to make sure things were OK.
The buffet started around 6.30pm and we started getting food for Anthea and Anders. They were both so excited to see so many of their favorite dishes. They had a good time with all the fruits, desserts and ice-cream.
We started eating while waiting for the rest of the families to arrive. The extended families started arriving at different timing and everyone help themselves to the buffet.
During the dinner, we had different topics of discussion. Then Adrian started to go in-depth discussion of a 4x400m relay with my 3rd sister in law. She was from St.Nicholas Track & Field team. Adrian had been shortlisted by his company to take part in some kind of race and they were combining with the Commandos.
So he is now practicing very hard for the race that will be happening on this Friday, 17 April. Guess what...???....HE is in the RESERVED LIST...haha.
After a sumptuous dinner, we had dessert / ice cream and coffee. My MIL shared a bit more information about Xian with us.
Then around 10.15pm, we left for home and before heading home, my youngest BIL who went to the hotel lobby came back with good news. LIVERPOOL won 4 - 0 .
Adrian was very happy after the dinner and he said what he enjoyed most is not the food but the CONVERSATIONS with the families... : 0
I know he is a FAMILY MAN by default, so any family/families time spend is all worthwhile for him.
It was a good Melting experience for us and we will be back for more....whose TREAT will it be next??
