Lin Li and Yik Shiong, 9 Jan 2010, Raffles Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

9 January 2010

Imelda’s Thoughts: If We Hold On Together I can still vividly remember what a unique and entertaining party Lin Li and Yik Shiong’s wedding was. We were engaged to be the entertainment, but ended up being engaged in total entertainment by the wedding entourage. The moment I arrived at “The Lawn” of The Raffles Hotel, I was greeted by the riotous laughter of the band of brothers and sisters. They were in the midst of rehearsing for a hilarious skit…

Siew Choo and Yan Xiong, 3 Jan 2010, Chijmes (Wedding Live Band)

3 January 2010

CHIJMES

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 每天爱你多一些 (Every Day I Love You More) Siew Choo wasn’t kidding when she said her husband, Yan Xiong, was a man of few words. Yan Xiong hardly said more than a few sentences onstage; Siew Choo was the one who took the microphone and gave a thank-you speech. And what a speech it was. It was clearly unrehearsed, but Siew Choo’s sincerity shone through. There was a poignant moment when she acknowledged the absence of her father,…

Weiling and Zhengmin, 2 Jan 2010, Fullerton Hotel (Wedding Live Band)

2 January 2010

Fullerton

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: I’m Yours Zhengmin and his buddies provided the biggest laughs of the evening when the audience saw the video highlights of the gate-crashing ceremony. For the uninitiated, this ceremony requires the groom and his posse to bang at the doors of the bride’s abode and demand entrance. To prove their sincerity, they would first need to overcome the devious challenges the bridesmaids have come up with. The bridesmaids were obviously not expecting Zhengmin and his band of…

Yingchao and Hanqing, 26 Dec 09, Ritz Carlton (Wedding Live Band)

26 December 2009

Ritz Carlton

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Because Of You Thanks to the beautiful photos taken by Kelvin of LightedPixels, I got to see the unadulterated joy and happiness on Hanqing and Yingchao’s faces. Juliet, Boon Chye and Clarence had a ball of a time performing classics and carols on Boxing Day. Their chemistry was flawless and the music sublime. Thanks to Hanqing and Yingchao, Juliet learnt two beautiful jazz songs which she grew to love. Congratulations to Hanqing and Yingchao! Band: Juliet, Clarence…

Darren and Yijue, 25 Dec 09, Tower Ballroom, Shangri-La (Wedding Live Band)

25 December 2009

Shangri-la

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Darren had a tough time figuring out when to propose to Yijue. Apparently, Yijue managed to find the ring each time they went on a romantic trip overseas. Darren said it quite succinctly, “I can’t keep any secrets from her!” I had such a great time performing at the wedding. The spirit of Christmas was certainly in the air, and when Eleanor sang, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, I could…

Jean and Ziyao, 23 Dec 09, Sir Stamford Room, Grand Hyatt (Wedding Live Band)

23 December 2009

Grand Hyatt Singapore

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 世界唯一的你 (The Only You In The World) A year ago, I met Ziyao and Jean at Bar Stop and started talking while listening to the marvellous Melissa and her band. Our conversation didn’t end until two hours later, and although I couldn’t remember the details of our conversation, we parted with a smile on our faces. When I met the couple again on their wedding day, our meeting at Bar Stop seemed like only yesterday, and I…

Cheong and Sandra, 17 Dec 09, Amara Sanctuary (Wedding Live Band)

17 December 2009

Amara Sanctuary

Bevlyn’s Thoughts: Unforgettable Check out these cute pictures. I forgot to ask Sandra and Cheong if they have been keeping the JC clothes till today…whichever the case, they still look like JC kids! Yes, Sandra and Cheong got to know each other while studying at CJC 10 years ago…and the couple ended their dating marathon on 17 Dec 2009, I’m sure much to the delight of their friends and family! With Chiou Yun on piano and I on vocals, both…

Ashley and Darren, 13 Dec 09, Conrad (Wedding Live Band)

Conrad Centennial Singapore

Serene’s Thoughts: Band: Serene and Matthew Thanks to Ruey Loon of 36 Frames.com for sending us his beautiful photos! Repertoire: You’re the Sunshine of My Life (1st March-in), Kiss Me (1st dish), 南屏晚钟 (Bell Ringing at Nanping Hill), Vincent, Lovin’ You, Always Be My Baby, No Matter What, Heaven, Moon River, Sometimes When We Touch, 稻香 (Fragrant Rice), 每个人都会 (Everyone Knows How To) Everyday I Love You (2nd march-in), Save Me From Myself, 梅兰梅兰我爱你 (Mei Lan Mei…

Weilin and Han Piow, 12 Dec 09, Hibiscus Room, Grand Hyatt (Wedding Live Band)

12 December 2009

Grand Hyatt Singapore

Imelda’s thoughts: Love Of My Life Han Piow has two loves in his life. Chicken rice was apparently the first, but that was till Weilin came along and replaced it as Han Piow’s reigning first love. Han Piow related how he realized that he was in love with Weilin and that she was THE ONE for him, and ironically, it was with the help of his other love – Chicken rice that Weilin steered her way through his tummy and…

Maria and Derrick, 12 Dec 09 (Luncheon), Phoenix Ballroom, Novotel Clarke Quay (Wedding Live Band)

12 December 2009

Novotel Clarke Quay

Bevlyn’s thoughts: 1,2,3,4 I love the happy repertoire for this wedding! Maybe that’s why we received applause after every song! The 1st march-in song is the lovely upbeat song “1,2,3,4”, almost symbolic to the countoff to the happy couple’s days ahead as man and wife: The other song which I truly enjoyed singing was Michael Jackson’s “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You“. Do you still remember this classic hit of the King of Pop? And if you’re looking out for…

Lance and Suzhen, 10 Dec 09, Peony Jade, Clarke Quay (Wedding Live Band)

10 December 2009

Peony Jade Clarke Quay

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:…

Larissa and Tommy, 6 Dec 09, Ritz Carlton (Wedding Live Band)

6 December 2009

Ritz Carlton

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…

Michelle and Zhiliang, 6 Dec 09, Forest Lodge, Singapore Zoo (Wedding Live Band)

6 December 2009

Uncategorized

Imelda’s thoughts: Somewhere Out There I’ve been to the zoo a few times these past two years since my son Joshua was born. But never did I think that I would have the chance to go to the zoo to sing for a wedding celebration. It was a rather interesting experience for Wah Yong, Wilson and I to “fast walk” our way back to the entrance after our performance, in almost absolute pitch darkness, using only our basic instincts to…

Karen and Kenneth, 6 Dec 09, Chihuly Room, Ritz Carlton (Wedding Live Band)

6 December 2009

Ritz Carlton

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Built To Last The match of the century: Bon Jovi VS Tommy Page Who will win? In Karen and Kenneth’s wedding, everyone wins. I sweated for many nights when I first got the song list. It was clearly the result of two distinct tastes in music. Kenneth’s contributions were songs like Wherever You Will Go and Spin (both of which I grew to love), while Karen’s favourites were probably Arthur’s Theme and Flying Without Wings. More lovely…

Siong Chye and Eileen, 5 Dec 09, Amara Sanctuary Resort (Wedding Live Band)

5 December 2009

Amara Sanctuary

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: 天使 (Angel) Siong Chye and Eileen were colleagues, and were working together to organise community events. Being in the same company volleyball team also helped them understand each other better. The relationship grew stronger with each passing day. Eileen told me Siong Chye proposed to her on a large grassland at Woodlands Drive 17, beside the Singapore Sports School, and went back to it to take pre-wedding photographs. The site also overlooks their new house. No worries…

Azhar and Sri, 29 Nov 09, Crowne Plaza, Changi Airport (Wedding Live Band)

29 November 2009

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: We Could Be In Love Imelda, Adeline and I had a fantastic time at Azhar and Sri’s wedding! The evening got off to a great start when we met Azhar’s friend, Yasser, who made sure our every need was taken care of. He even took some food from the buffet line and asked us to help ourselves during our break! I was glad to finally meet Azhar, as we had communicated over numerous e-mails to determine which…

Wileen and Jordy, 21 Nov 09, The Sentosa Spa & Resort (Wedding Live Band)

21 November 2009

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Imelda’s thoughts: Rainbow Connection I can’t speak Cantonese to save my life but I can most definitely understand it, especially when the long distance love story of Wileen and Jordy sounds just like a Hong Kong drama serial. What’s even more unforgettable is that the two of them look just like the gorgeous stars you see at the “Golden Horse Awards Ceremony”! I’m not kidding, they’re both really gorgeous, and not just cause they’re dressed up for their wedding. Take…

Keith and Esther, 15 Nov 09, Conrad (Wedding Live Band)

15 November 2009

Conrad Centennial Singapore

Hui Bing’s Thoughts: Forever Love It takes great guts for someone to sing a song in front of a ballroom full of guests if he/she has not done it before. More so to perform on their wedding day since usually there are many things going on that day, from the traditional ceremony, photo taking, wedding dinner and so on. And so, when we found that Keith is going to sing a special song for Esther, Ivan, Ian and I were…

Marvin and Yihong, 15 Nov 09, Orchid Country Club (Wedding Live Band)

15 November 2009

Orchid Country Club

Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Accidentally In Love My job is to document the memorable highlights of each wedding, but I drew a blank when I started to write about Marvin and Yihong’s wedding. Not that there weren’t anything to write. On the contrary, where do I begin? Even before the guests entered the ballroom, they could tell it was not going to be a conventional celebration. The bridesmaids and groomsmen were unbelievably united and colour-coordinated. The ladies wore well-cut dresses in…
