Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 花好月圆夜 (Beautiful Night) There’s a Chinese saying called 双喜临门, which means “double happiness at your door”. This was certainly the case for the wedding lunch reception I performed at on 28 Feb. For the very first time in my performing career, I performed for not one, but two wedding couples. Yvonne and Zhen Cai are siblings, and although they were got engaged on separate dates, they chose to hold their wedding reception on the same day. Zhen…
Hui Bing’s Thoughts: 可爱的玫瑰花 (Beautiful Rose) Could dancing children be an indicator for good music? I really hope so. Ein and I couldn’t stop smiling seeing the cute toddlers, decked to the nines in their dresses and tiny suits, gyrate and sway themselves happily to the songs which Lian Bin and Xiu Juan have selected for their wedding. Ein and I started the evening with the uptempo song ‘可爱的玫瑰花 (Beautiful Rose)’ as their first march-in song and already, I could…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: 细水长流 (The Meandering River Flows On) When I arrived at 6pm, I was surprised to see the whole entourage setting up at the reception and the restaurant. One of the friends told us, “Lance is very punctual, so we’re very punctual too”. Indeed, the banquet kicked off well before the standard 830pm. We thought it would be nice to start our performance delivering the dedications from Lance and Suzhen to their parents. Here’s their heart-felt and impressive dedication:…
Hui Bing’s thoughts: Beautiful Love This SMS brightened up my morning: “Gd Morning, Hui Bing and Junxiong. 🙂 This is Cedric n Shelly. Looking fwd to your performance this evening.. Hope you like the songs we have picked…” When we met them in person that evening, Cedric and Shelly were indeed as warm and friendly as their SMS. And I did enjoy performing the songs they had selected that night. Understanding their guests’ preference, they chose a longer list of…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: My Way It’s been three months since A Little Dream last performed at Peony-Jade. I was so happy that Thomas and Nicole got married there because I missed the friendly staff and great food! Kenny, the manager, was manning the fort that evening, and we managed to catch up during a rehearsal break. James and I had a fantastic time at the wedding because we got really enthusiastic reactions from the guests. – When James and I…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: When You Know Vernon and Wyendi got to know each other 6 years ago through one of the most common match-makers these days – the Internet. They were online pals for years but they never meet up until Wyendi decided to ask Vernon out for a few games of pool. For the coming weeks they met up on every weekend and soon became a couple. When asked what Vernon likes about Wyendi, this seemingly man-of-few-words only gave me…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Starry Starry Night Photo by Zhi Yong from Dawn’s Wedding, which is across the causewayIt takes a village…to plan to wedding. It’s no wonder that some couples approach it like they would a major project or operation. They delegate, and outsource. With regard to wedding entertainment, the responsibility was given to the groom’s brother, Teory. And we’re glad that Teory engaged us, for he was a joy to work with. He gave us free rein to design…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 12-Year Chase Some people drive with their gear stick anchored firmly in the fifth, while others prefer to take the scenic route, enjoying the sights along the way. Shawn and Charmine belong to the latter category. On the relationship highway, they clearly preferred to take it slow, and dated each other for 12 years before tying the knot. And when I met them for the first time, they were teasing each other endlessly, a trait which is…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Shanghai Night The 2 Js are a lethal combination. Apart from being blessed with good looks, they are also fantastic musicians. Jon “Saxy” Lim wields his instrument like he’s possessed by the spirit of Stan Getz, while Jon Ang’s fingers fly across the keyboard with consummate skill and ease. Eleanor and I were very excited to work with them for the first time, and I think our enthusiasm showed onstage. We also had fun singing songs like…
