Hi James,
Please register me for the event. I like non-halal food as it is more tastier.
By the way I notice that their normal rate is $22.80++ from their website. Maybe you can negotiate for a better rate since they quote you a wrong normal rate of $29.
Thank you.
Hi Steven #5,
Yes, normal rate is $22.80++. If you add Chinese tea at
$2 pax, it would comes to (22.8 + 2) x 1.17 = $29.
I’m able to get 10% discount due to VIP m’ship.
However, this only applies to first 40 pax.
To all my foodies buddies who came last year – per my
email, assure you will get a place if reply by end of
today 23.59hr 8/8.
Apologize that this post was put on draft but due to some
error by the blogmaster this thread was put up ahead of time.
rgds,
james
Hi James
Yeah…Makan session again… (^_^) … pls choope one seat for me… (^_~)… thanks…
Missed your 2009 session ‘cos not member yet but definitely am sure it will be as good as that or maybe even better… **(^_^)**
Will be sending you the ($_$) soon… ^_^
Cheers – Pauline
Hi James,
Thank you for your clarification.
Unfortunately there was a outcry from environmentalists regarding consumption of sharp fin meat or else Citibank card holders will be entitled to a 15 percent discount. This was withdrawn by Citibank last month after suffering a huge backlash on Facebook.
Hi James.
Dan and Joy look forward to join you for another session of good foods and fellowship. Count us in.
Dan
To all gourmets who sign up,
Apologize can’t get your names into the main post yet.
Once the admin grant me the editing rights, I shall amend
accordingly.
Appreciate your patience ….
james
James, me not feeling too well so hv brought forward my endoscopy check. Once green light is given, i will join you and the rest. Appreciate yr patience too, heeee………..
StevenN #8,
I’m not sure what to make of your statement.
If you are an environmentalist, I admire your concern and
courage to practise your belief. To you and those of your
frens who strongly support the cause, I respect your belief.
However, there’s another school of tot that said that since
shark fin may be an endangered item if the WWF is to step
in, then eating a few bowls now & then, here & there, would
not be a sin and until the ban takes effect, it’s just a
little joy they would enjoy for a while.
As an EO, it’s not my perogative to impose on members’
belief. They are free to join the lunch either to participate
in every dish, leave some dishes out or not join in the
feast at all. The decision is entirely theirs and I respect
all.
Anyway, thank you for your concern.
Hi James,
As I won’t be around, it looks like I have to miss this sumptuous invitation of yours again. Keep up the spirit and energy.
Terence Seah
Hi James,
You misunderstanding my message.
What I mean is – if not because of the environmentalists, we will be able to get discount of 15% as a Citibank credit card holders. I am sure there will quite a few who have Citibank credit card members which we can make use of.
If I am one, I will not have registered for the event. :)
My apology for any misunderstanding.
TimL#11,
Have a good check up and get well soon. I’ll put up your
name as tentative.
Terence #13,
Hope you have a wonderful time at the kelong and a
sumptuous feast of crabs, lobsters and shark fins.
StevenN#14,
Now I understand your message. Keep me posted if you have
a good makan deal.
Hi James,
Pls register myself and Ann for the buffet lunch.
Thanks.
Alan Bok & Ann
Great !
Many discords arise out of misunderstanding, exacerbated by 1 party jumping the gun too early too fast.
You 2 – James-T and Steven-N – are pleasant folks and it takes a little patience and a bit of write to put everything in perspective, and the friendship becomes thicker, better for that.
Definitely, James, if the doc says i am ok but me not too sure this time. But who cares if you folks dance, cheer and sing with gusto while I lie in the long box humming in unison.
Seriously, no chance for that. Coy while alive, i certainly wont allow myself to be a displayed item when gone.
Hi James,
Would appreciate if you could register myself and my mrs, Tracy for the buffet lunch,thank you..
Bobby Bok
