Wendy and Caleb, 31 May 09, Waterfront Ballroom, Grand Copthorne Waterfront (Wedding Live Band)

31 May 2009

Hui Bing’s Thoughts: Sweet Happy Life I had a great time performing for Caleb and Wendy, that I was still slightly high the day after their wedding. (good way to beat the Monday blues!) The guests definitely have a part to play in this – they are one of the most spontaneous and fun-loving groups I had ever seen. They gave loud cheers during the 1st march-in and laughed loudly over baby pictures of the newly weds during the morning.…

Chui Peng and Hong Fong, 24 May 09, Windsor Ballroom, Goodwood Park Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

24 May 2009

Goodwood Park Hotel

Hui Bing’s Thoughts – 爱得正好 (The Right Kind Of Love) I always thought that an emcee was essential in a wedding but Hong Fong and Chui Peng’s ingenuity showed me otherwise. Before they made their first entrance, the lighting dimmed for a couple of minutes, subtly reminding guests to return to their seats. There is no need for any emcee to do the introduction – Hong Fong and Chui Peng did that by staying on-stage after the cake-cutting ceremony to…

Victorine and Peng Kwan, 16 May 09, Conrad Hotel, Main Ballroom (Wedding Live Band)

16 May 2009

Conrad Centennial Singapore

Hui Bing’s Thoughts – Somewhere Out There If you have friends who are musically talented, do what Victorine and PK did – ask them to sing a song. And that’s what Victorine’s close galfriends did by not only singing, but also playing the piano and harmonising this cutesy and up-tempo number “Chapel of Love”. It was such an appropriate song for the occasion! Victorine’s ‘sisters’ (read: bridesmaids) also demonstrated how to effectively work around the problem of overcrowding at the…

Claire and Darren, 10 May 09, Main Ballroom, Grand Copthorne Waterfront (Wedding Live Band)

10 May 2009

Grand Copthorne Waterfront

Jun Xiong’s thoughts: The Gift When I first met Darren and Claire, I really envied both their “model-like” height and figure: Darren, a man of few words, was tall, slender and smart while Claire, our stunningly beautiful bride, matched his height comfortably with a livelier and chattier disposition. What a perfect match! And I was also surprised when Claire shared that their love story which revealed that they officially got together only on 1st of December 2008 – cos’ they…

Cedric and Shelly, 1 May 09, Peony Jade Restaurant (Wedding Live Band)

1 May 2009

Peony Jade Clarke Quay

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…

Jenny and Tianguo, 25 Apr 09, Crowne Plaza, Terminal 3, Changi Airport (Wedding Live Band)

25 April 2009

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport

Hui Bing’s thoughts: Grow Old With You Jenny and Tianguo loved travelling and since their wedding was held at Crowne Plaza Hotel at the airport, they decided to adopt ‘travel’ as their wedding theme. Their creativity and ideas took flight, literally. The wedding dinner was code-named TJ99 (their initials with ’99’ to represent eternity), their guests were asked to ‘check in’ at the registration table and their wedding invitation cards came in the form of airline boarding passes. The couple…

William and Daylea, 14 Mar 09, Novotel Clarke Quay (Wedding Live Band)

14 March 2009

Novotel Clarke Quay

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Everything William and Daylea are adrenaline junkies at heart. “We love watching horror/thriller movies together instead of romantic/slapstick comedies.” Not convinced, eh? What about their favourite thing to do at theme parks? “We love taking roller coaster rides together and scream our lungs out!!!” Crazy couple, huh! That’s why I felt Michael Buble’s Everything fitted them to a T. And in this crazy life And through these crazy times It’s you It’s you You make me sing…

Lendry and Cheryl, 7 Mar 09, The Pavilion, Rasa Sentosa (Wedding Live Band)

7 March 2009

Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa

Hui Bing’s Thoughts: L-O-V-E It’s really great and fun to be part of a surprise, especially when the one who is planning the surprise, ends up being surprised as well. Lendry wanted to serenade Cheryl during their wedding dinner and so the planning began about 2 weeks before their big day. He chose a rather difficult song by Taiwanese rocker 伍百, not quite the typical love song. But he said Cheryl like this song very much, particularly the ending phrase…

Thomas and Agnes, 22 Feb 09, Fullerton Hotel, Straits Ballroom (Wedding Live Band)

22 February 2009

Fullerton

Hui Bing’s Thoughts: You Will Never Walk Alone I always feel that traveling is one of the best ways to get a sense whether you can be together with a certain someone for a longtime. For Thomas and Agnes, I am sure that their love for each other strengthened with every trip that they had together, and they had many J “As we both love to travel to new places, during the last 19 months of dating, we visited Hong…

Andy and Deborah, 14 Feb 09, Keppel Club, Peony Jade Restaurant (Wedding Live Band)

14 February 2009

Peony Jade Keppel Club

Hui Bing’s thoughts: Love Song It was an unconventional Valentine’s Day for Jixiang and I this year, as we decided to celebrate it together with Andy and Deborah at their wedding at Keppel Club. What was also memorable for us was the repertoire of songs which the couple has chosen – interesting and very wide, from the usual wedding ballads, to songs that are usually sung in a pub such as Love Song, Chasing Cars and Angels And Devils. Though…

Samuel and Lynette, 18 Jan 09, Main Ballroom, Raffles Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

18 January 2009

Raffles Hotel

Hui Bing’s thoughts: Sway Samuel and Lynette, who were both working as doctors in the UK, have been out of Singapore for over 11 years. Hence, most of the guests to the wedding were invited by their parents from Singapore and Malaysia. Dr Lim, the fatherly gentleman who engaged us for the wedding, wanted a mix of oldies, such as Teresa Teng’s classics which will appeal to the older folks. I enjoyed singing these songs with a fuller line-up that…

Pui See and Thomas, 16 Jan 09, Windsor Ballroom, Goodwood Park Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

16 January 2009

Goodwood Park Hotel

Hui Bing’s thoughts: Stuck On You Like many other guests in the ballroom, I was deeply touched during that moment when Thomas turned to Pui See and said, “I will use my lifetime to cherish you”. Earlier, Thomas had shared that their 13-year long relationship was not always a bed of roses. Both have spent a considerable amount of time apart.. In the initial years, Thomas was in the army and couldn’t find much time to be with Pui See…

Michelle and Eddie, 3 Jan 09, Palm Terrace, The Legends, Hotel Fort Canning (Wedding Live Band)

3 January 2009

Hotel Fort Canning

Hui Bing’s Thoughts: I Had The Time Of My Life The title of this song aptly describes how Junxiong and I felt about performing at Michelle and Eddie’s wedding. It was a beautiful evening with all the right elements in place for an outdoor wedding – a breathtaking pink sunset overlooking Fort Canning Park which greeted guests when they arrive, crystal clear sky and most important of all (especially for Junxiong, who perspires easily), strong cooling breezes. Another reason why…

Brian and Crystin, 1 Jan 09, Orchard Parade Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

1 January 2009

Orchard Parade Hotel

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 小薇（Xiao Wei) I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding to start the new year! First of all, Brian had complete trust in us to deliver a night of great music. As he only landed in Singapore two weeks or so before the wedding, we did not spend much time discussing the details. All he had to do was hand me the list of songs he would like us to sing, and pray very hard for the…

Yu Keat and See Yee, 30 Dec 08, Magnolia Ballroom, Grand Hyatt Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

30 December 2008

Grand Hyatt Singapore

Hui Bing’s Thoughts: 天使 (Angel) As a special dedication to their parents, Yu Keat and See Yee selected a rather hip song 天使 (Angel) by popular rock band Mayday, instead of the usual Teresa Teng oldie. It was accompanied by this very touching and sincere message: “Our parents have dedicated their lives into moulding us into what we are today. They are special in our hearts and no words can describe the amount of sacrifices that they have made for us.…

(Wedding Live Band) Kaay Juan and Su-Anne, 21 Dec 08, Mandarin Oriental

21 December 2008

Mandarin Oriental Singapore

Hui Bing’s thoughts – All I Want For Christmas Is You It was a wedding that I would love to attend as a guest, for the speeches by Su-Anne, Kaay Juan, and their cousins were not only humorous, but also revealed interesting insights into their 13-year long courtship and life. Indeed, as Su-Anne said, “They have the 3 most important things in life – family, friends and love”, it was evident that the couple is very much well-loved by their…

Jeannie and Adrian, 13 Dec 08, Crescent Ballroom, Four Seasons (Wedding Live Band)

13 December 2008

Four Seasons

Hui Bing’s thoughts: A Special Love I had to learn several new songs for Jeannie and Adrian’s wedding and one of them was ‘A Special Love’ – which the couple has chosen to be their second march-in song. Besides it being a great song, I thought it was also an appropriate choice to describe the tightly-knitted bond that the two had shared. Like many of the guests present, my tear ducts started flowing when Jeannie and Adrian shared their love…

(Wedding) Christine and Charles, 12 Dec 08, Novotel Clarke Quay

12 December 2008

Novotel Clarke Quay

Jun Xiong’s thoughts: 无法自拔 (Can’t Let Go) The wedding of Charles and Christine was an exceptionally romantic and unforgettable one! Charles has initially planned to serenade an Aaron Kwok’s love song 无法自拔 (Can’t Let Go) to Christine after their thank-you speech. However, to spice it up, he decided to give Christine an excellent and pleasant surprise by disappearing right before the 2nd march-in, and then startling her by singing live from the ballroom and walking towards her as the doors…

(Wedding) Melvin and Amelia, 8 Dec 08, Pacific Ballroom, Pan Pacific

8 December 2008

Pan Pacific Singapore

Hui Bing’s thoughts: The Nearness Of You It was great performing for Melvin and Amelia’s wedding as they are such an easy-going and friendly couple, and they placed absolute trust in us to deliver a great performance. So much so, that Melvin gave us free rein with the songlist after he heard our performance at another wedding. James, Benson and I had a great time singing the mix of jazz, easy listening and Mandopop numbers that I have selected for…

(Wedding) Yee Wen and Andy, 7 Dec 08, One Rochester

7 December 2008

One Rochester

Hui Bing’s thoughts: On The Wings of Love Andy and Yee Wen wanted to ensure that their guests take away more than just beautiful memories of their wedding. So besides the usual photographer and videographer, they had a mobile studio who printed out beautiful card-sized photos of the wedding to be given to guests on the spot. The band was thrilled to get our own photo-cards! It was obvious how closely knitted Andy and Yee Wen are to their families.…
