Sandakan Indian Association 25th Anniversary
WEBS was appointed by the Sandakan Indian Association as their event consultant for their 25th Anniversary Dinner, which was held on the 12th of October 2009. After a month of plannings, the WEBS team flew to Sandakan on the 8th. Upon arriving, instead of a short sightseeing, we headed straight to Sandakan Hakka Hall (in Taman Tyng) to assess the location. Later we were briefed by Ms Jocelyn Lee of SIA on the arrangements for the event (caterers, tables & chairs, souvenirs, total invitees, etc) and the the Association's preference for their event setup.
E-Day (E - event). WEBS started out as early 8.30am at the hall. Weather was perfect that day. Most of the setup was done around 4pm. The main highlight for of the hall were the VIP table (Dtk. Peter Pang, Deputy Chief Minister of Sabah & Wife). Lot of sweats poured, but our minds were focussed, because this is the very first time WEBS involved in such event (mind us, we're so used to weddings ;)). Alas, by the end of the evening, our hosts told us that their VIPs were so happy with the event, and some are even impressed with our setup!
Regardless the time constraint, we still managed to snap some pictures of the hall (pre and after setup). This event was a very tiring one as WEBS was only given a month to come with the concept setup. We would to extend our appreciation to the local caterers (ADZIE and Mr. Sadhar) for their wonderful foods (love the teh tarik). Now, bhangra dance anyone?

Wow, it's been a long time since our last entry (almost 2 months). Well during our absence, we took the opportunity to have a break from wedding planning. Not to say that we're out of our game, but to refresh our ideas on our future projects. Rest assure, we're pumped up more than ever, yeah!
We would like to showcase one of our previous couple who had their wedding just recently (Bestah & Cecilia). It was a very small yet a radiant evening. We just love the colours. All of their guests had a smashing evening. Not to mention of the Sarawak Rice Wine which was going around the whole evening. We were happy and honoured to be engaged by Bestah & Cecilia to plan and manage their weddings, and we can't stop saying thank you to both of you.

Fifi & Suhaimi's HISTORIC DAY
We finally did it! Fuhh... It was a very tiring day on the 10th july. The team started quite early in the morning by getting some CDs from the couple's residence. By the way Fifi, the cartoon show was very cute and romantic ;).
At first the weather didn't look as if it would hold up. A day before the wedding, while all the contractors were busy setting up their equipments, skies were dark and it was soooooo gloomy. It was difficult to set up tents, table, screen projectors, lightings, etc. Despite all of this, there was one person who stayed extremely positive..... the groom's father! He had a such strong faith that the weather will be favourable. He told to us not to worry too much about it, even though we realised that we've got less than 24 hours to get everything ready.
Well, on event day, the weather was absolutely sunny and made it perfect for everyone doing the setup. It was not too hot as it was cloudy most of the time. There was however, a scary moment when a strong gush wind just came. It blew off the table decor that was being set - up with floral centrepieces, nearly tore the big, wide projector screen, created havoc with some of the tree decorations and tore a huge banner hanging at front of the main gate! It was chaotic then. Just for a second, everyone panicked but thank you to all.... everyone was quick to act and we managed to salvage everything without any undue damage. All of a sudden, everything was set to go.... Then, guests started coming in. WOW! traffic jam was so massive! We estimated that there were around 3000-4000 guests.
The wedding was fantastic. Everyone was enjoying the food, and music by our famous local band Hinava, it really added more fun to the party atmosphere.
By the time the wedding ended around 11pm, all of us were relieved that everything ended on a happy note. Fifi & Suhaimi, and Suhaimi's parents were glad that the wedding went smoothly, and there smiles everywhere....not just theirs but everyone who were involved.
We couldn't pull this one off if it wasn't for the Hyatt team. Special thanks to Zaman for putting up with Sandra.... the floral decorations and table decorations looked great. To Hinava, for proving that they're still the best when it comes to entertaining the crowds. Also big THANK YOU to the other contractors; Donald and team for the marquees, fans and of course for accommodating our last minute requests, Wesley, our MC, PSE, SuperInd, etc. Last but not least, we would like to thank Datuk & Datin Lee Sulaiman, for allowing us to work on their lovely home for a truly unique wedding reception.
To Fifi and Suhaimi, it has been a great honour to be your wedding planners. So much we learnt and garnered from your wedding. We hope our paths will cross again in the near future. Until then, SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU, SEMOGA BAHAGIA HINGGA KE ANAK CUCU (& CICIT).
Before we go, here are some pictures that we took during the setup on the wedding day. Enjoy ;).
