Simply comment below the date and restaurant that you’d like to host and we’ll post it for you. Of course you can choose a participating restaurant of your choice and don’t have to select one from my list above.

Are you a first time home buyer or need to renew your mortgage?

Whether it’s your first time buying or renewing, the current stress test is making a lot of Vancouver people hard to get approved.

Don’t panic if you got rejected by a bank. There are alternative ways.

Come out and learn from this mind-blowing workshop!

What you will learn
– How banks review your mortgage approval
– What you need to do to get approved
– How and what bad debt can ruin you approval
– What government funding can first time home buyers get?

– and many more topics…..

This workshop will help you shop around the best mortgage that suits your financial needs. Look beyond the banks to find the right source for you.

In fact, banks may not always be the best source for you to get a mortgage.

Not buying yet? Don’t wait until the last minutes. Before you go apply for a mortgage you need to fix your financial situation first and that takes time. You need to get prepared now!

Asian Pros, Let’s celebrate the Luna New Year by having dinner at the Grand Crystal Seafood Restaurant inside the Crystal Mall. It is a fairly nice restaurant where the food is quite decent.

I have reserved 2 tables, and will add one more if the demand is there, in a private VIP room where we can chat up a storm and make a lot of noise. 🙂

For food, we have…

– Peking duck 2 course
– SF veggies/chicken/squid
– Crab & fish maw soup
– Fried chicken
– Steamed fish
– Braised tofu
– Fukien fried rice

For entertainment…
– Karaoke to sing your hearts out
– Mahjong tables for those that love this game
– Playing cards for those that don’t play Mahjong and don’t sing.

Each attendee will receive a red packet(Lai Si) for good luck. What’s inside is for you to find out. 😉

The cost is only $40 each inclusive including tax and tips. The best that I could find. Please bring cash if you can.

The party starts at 4pm with Mahjong and Karaoke first. Food comes at 6pm and we don’t stop singing and MJ until 11pm.

Come and have a good time with other Asian Professionals. Celebrate the new year of the Rat with good food and make new friends.

Getting there:
By Skytrain: Get off at Metrotown station and just walk over.

There are lots of free parking inside the Crystal Mall.
