Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Come Fly with Me It is my first time to The Flutes, and I was blown away by this rustic black and white bungalow which used to be the old Fire Chiefs’ home. It was built in 1908, and I was thrilled to still be able to capture the charm of ‘old Singapore’! A tentage was set up, and the flowers’ arrangement was amazing: I thought that this was a great idea – you can find your own name…
Juliet’s thoughts: Cheek To Cheek It is awesome to play with Mei Sheum and Wah Yong again, all dear friends, and we had many conversations through playing at Ariel and Weizhong’s wedding last night. I believe the audience must have been one of the loveliest and sweetest, most attentive bunch we’ve ever performed to, applauding almost at every song we performed. I was quite in love with that samba of the Close To You (Carpenters) we had played during soundcheck,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Remember When It was a joy to perform with Juliet again! Haven’t sung with her for ages, and I was so glad she was able to make it for Larissa and Tommy’s wedding. Larissa and Tommy had very specific choices for their march-ins. For their first entrance, they wanted a medley of Lover’s Concerto and Les Yeux Ouverts (French version of Dream A Little Dream). We’d never married (pardon the pun!) the two songs before, but the…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Wonderful Tonight “You mean as much to Ailin as she means to you, and I will take care of her as best as I possibly can.” – Wayne, speaking to Ailin’s parents I was looking forward to performing for Wayne and Ailin, for many reasons. One of which was very superficial. I was curious to take a look inside the club where the wedding would take place. It was so exclusive I could not find it in…
Wah Yong’s thoughts: Let’s Fall In Love The 20th Wedding Anniversary of Amy and William Leow, held at the Grand Ballroom of Inter-Continental Hotel, was indeed a special one. The setting and arrangement of the ballroom was different from a conventional wedding- there were white trees adorned with lights, ribbons and hanging beads, as if white Christmas has arrived in sunny Singapore. Instantly, we were traipsing in a winter wonderland. The tables were covered in black to contrast with the…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Moondance In the midst of a detailed speech about how he and Peng Tzee (Peng) met and fell in love, Darren turned to Peng and remarked, “You know the one quality I’ve always loved about you is your laughter. Your laughter makes everyone happy. Thanks for bringing joy to my life!” When Peng blushed at the unexpected praise, Darren added cheekily, “What, don’t I get a kiss?” Darren and Peng’s intimate and elegant wedding was made possible…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: The Way I Am Joanne’s sister: I knew something was fishy when Joanne wanted to go jogging one day. I later realised that it’s because Dennis likes girls with slim legs! Joanne’s performance of The Way I Am (by Ingrid Michaelson) will remain etched in my memory for a long time to come. Several things about the performance made it memorable. The fact that it was spontaneous, for one. Joanne mentioned it once to her Hannah, her…
