Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Fly Me To The Moon As musicians, we often ask a lot of ourselves, and strive to give each performance the same amount of energy and passion as if it’s our last. But sometimes the band only sounds as good as the sound system will allow. That’s why I was thrilled when I knew that Sam will be bringing in a separate sound system for the band. As owner of one of the “big boys” in the…
Jo’s thoughts: 幸福的女人 (Happy Lady) The lovely Waye and Mike were wed at the Regent Hotel, on the 23rd of Nov, 2008…to the congratulations of so many happy guests that the attendees spilled from the main hall into the charming hotel lobby, where they were served a sumptuous bufet. Every last detail spoke of the intricate gorgeousness of the event, from the delicate feather adornments on Waye’s train and the bridesmaids’ wrists, to white and pink balloons framing the stage,…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Shall We Dance? Shall we dance? On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? Shall we dance? Shall we then say “Goodnight and mean “Goodbye”? Or perchance, When the last little star has left the sky, Shall we still be together With our arms around each other And shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding That this kind of thing can happen, Shall we dance? James and Wynne’s wedding reception began with this…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Now and Forever Qin Ying is a faithful reader of this blog, and I was touched when she said to me, “Hsin Yeow, I think I’ll keep reading your blog even after getting married!” Thank you, Qin Ying, for making my day! Lawrence probably read enough of my blog entries of couples who made their weddings special by serenading their spouses. So even though he had to battle gigantic butterflies in his stomach, he bravely went onstage…
Bevlyn’s thoughts: 可爱的玫瑰花 (What A Lovely Rose) I met John at Wey Jia’s wedding on 24 Oct 08, who introduced himself as the one who took photos at Sy Wei’s wedding. Two seconds passed before I registered that I was engaged to sing at his wedding on 30 Oct! Was really glad that John and Christine picked Burkhill Hall for their wedding reception. I’ve always found it a breathtaking place, no matter how often I’ve been there. Being this close to nature always…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Signed Sealed Delivered, I’m Yours “To the world, you are one person. To one person, you are the world.” The above aphorism aptly describes the relationship between Lorraine and Carl. Both of them could hardly contain the glow of being newly-weds. Carl, when giving his speech, thanked Lorraine for giving him happiness, and for making him the “luckiest guy in the world.” Lorraine, on the other hand, decided to put her emotions into a song, and surprised…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 出嫁 (Getting Married) Esther and Teck Kiang looking radiantly in love! Thanks to Live Studios for taking the photos you see in this blog entry! This is what the wedding meant to Teck Kiang, the romantic groom: The most meaningful thing is to allow me a chance to announce to the world that I have married a wonderful, caring, loving and gracious wife, Esther, and express my heartiest affection and gratitude towards her….. I promise to love…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: That’s Amore! A day before the wedding, Dario and Dawn were watching the Olympics on TV. As they watched the Olympic winners at their awe-inspiring best, Dario turned to Dawn and said, “You know, I’m going to get my gold medal tomorrow!” At that precise moment, Dawn turned to mush. We had a fantastic time performing for Dawn and Dario. They trusted us implicitly, and made us feel completely at ease. The only request they made was…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: If We Hold On Together When Su Lynn chose the songs for her wedding, she had certain people in mind. The Gift was dedicated to her parents, while When I See You Smile was for her close friends who helped to organise the wedding. If We Hold On Together was for herself, because it was her favourite song. Hence, it was the first song she heard when she walked into the ballroom with her husband, Steven. Don’t…
Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Till The End The theme song of Alan and Lynn’s wedding celebration was local singer-songwriter David Tan’s Till The End. The couple must have liked David’s plaintive delivery and lyrics. I don’t know the details of how Alan and Lynn found each other and fell in love, but I’d like to think that both of them identify with the sentiments in the chorus of the song. In my heart, I can no longer hold inside All of…
