Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Angels Brought Me Here
I felt privileged to be at Chris and Peggy’s wedding celebration, not just because the couple trusted us implicitly to provide a night of rousing music, but also because I was privy to information perhaps not many others knew about.
Chris shared with me a particularly heart-wrenching period of their relationship. This was about three years ago, shortly after Peggy left for studies in Australia.
It was a trying time when they had many disagreements. The number of phone calls slowed down to an agonising trickle, until it stopped completely. Chris was devastated, and he did what he felt was the only thing he could: picked himself up and bought an air ticket to Perth.
Carrying his passport and wallet as his only possessions, he flew over and had a heart-to-heart talk with Peggy. Fortunately, they managed to resolve their misunderstandings, and Chris flew back to Singapore the next day!
Knowing their love story also helped me understand why Chris chose Angels Brought Me Here for their first march-in:
But I’m finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
Walking back into the light
To the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There’s nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes
My dreams came true
When I found you
I found you
My miracle
The band and I had a fantastic time at the wedding! I was blessed with a strong team of musicians with me, and Ariel was a joy to perform with. The Suntec City staff were also quite amazing. They provided a little lamp for Qiuyun so that she could look at her scores clearly, and even pulled up a low table to place our glasses of water.
Congratulations again, Chris and Peggy. Thank you for engaging us, and may you both enjoy many sweet and happy days ahead!

Compliments from Chris:
Hi Hsin Yeow and company,Chris here.
I received many great feedback about the performance of the band.
Some mentioned that my wedding was tastefully done up and I feel that its all due to the professional manner that the performance was delivered.
Once again, thank you!! I hope we still have opportunities to work together again..
