Wine and Dine at the Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel

October 13, 2009 – 10:45 pm

The Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel, Singapore (Located opposite Parkway Parade Shopping Centre, East Coast) is having a Royal Gala night on the 17th of October. For S$88 per person you will be able to enjoy a lavish 6-course meal at their award-winning Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant chef, with wine pairings for each sumptuous course.

For a foodie like me I feel that it is a good opportunity to indulge in some fine dining. Just look at the pictures of the mouth watering food that would be served at the dinner. Yummy!!

Here is the list of 5 wines that accompanies the meal.

I’ve put in my entry for the lucky draw and do put in yours too. It is always great to be able to put aside the stresses of work and family temporarily and sit back and enjoy great food and relax. We do need some time away from the hussle and bussle of city life to enjoy the finer things in life.

Educating Junior

Education has always been a key point of worry and concern for most parents. From the day your child is born you start to plan which childcare/kindergarten you would like to send him to, which primary school should you aim to send him to.

If you are aiming for a prestigious school like Eton House or ACS/Singapore Chinese Girl’s school be prepared to join the alumni, become a parent volunteer or even move to within 1km of the desired school in bid to increase the chance of your child entering the school.

Parents in Singapore, like the rest of the world, place a heavy emphasis on getting their child in good school. I myself do hope that my child enters a reputable school so that he would be able to get a top notch education and will not “lose out” in this education race.

There are a few established schools in my neighbourhood and I do hope that my boys get into one of them. To increase the chance of him getting to my preferred choice of schools I have used my ” special pass” when I returned to work last month.

I have just updated this book which I wrote last year and strongly recommend that you get a copy as it lists down in detail all the factors that you will need to consider before you register your child for Primary One.
