Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Quizas Quizas Quizas
When I noticed Sulianty’s furrowed brow, I went over to speak with her.
“How are you feeling Sulianty? Are you enjoying the music so far?”
Sulianty replied, “Oh, I’m feeling nervous. Maybe we should have rehearsed the march-in. I didn’t do it gracefully, I thought.”
I tried to calm her fears, “Your entrance was fine, Sulianty! You look beautiful, and you walked very naturally.”
Much as couples want to enjoy the proceedings, planning a wedding banquet involving hundreds of guests can sap their energy until the whole evening goes by in a blur.
The key is not to sweat the small stuff, relax and savour every moment.
So I joked, “Sulianty, are you going to sing a song for Alvern? Oh, I hear that you want to have a first dance with him as well?”
Sulianty and Alvern waved their hands in panic. “No, no!” they chorused. “None of that, please!”
Still, I managed to convince Alvern to give a romantic kiss (a successful example of this is here) to Sulianty while the guests are giving the third and final cry of “Yum seng!”. Sulianty never expected to be bent over and kissed, but I think her surprise probably made for a great photograph.
Speaking of great photographs, take a look at these:
The man behind the lens was none other than Kelvin Koh (LightedPixels), who probably spends more time shooting overseas than in Singapore. (Yes, Alvern and Sulianty are also known as Alvernia and Joan. Go figure.)
At the end of our performance, Sulianty (aka Joan) warmed Bevlyn’s heart when she held Bevlyn’s hands and said, “I made the right choice!”
Thank you, Alvern and Sulianty, you made it all worthwhile!

Song To Recommend:
Have added another Spanish classic to our repertoire: Quizas Quizas Quizas.
This song is the perfect companion to Quando Quando Quando.
Siempre que te pregunto
Que, cuándo, cómo y dónde
Tú siempre me respondes
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Y así pasan los días
Y yo, desesperando
Y tú, tú contestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Estás perdiendo el tiempo
Pensando, pensando
Por lo que más tú quieras
Hasta cuándo? Hasta cuándo?
Y así pasan los días
Y yo, desesperando
Y tú, tú contestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás
English Translation
I am always asking you
When, how and where
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
The days pass this way
And I am despairing
And you, you always answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
You are wasting time
Thinking, thinking
That which you want most
Until when? Until when?
The days pass this way
And I am despairing
And you, you always answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Wedding Tip:
Don’t sweat the small stuff and enjoy the evening!
