Hsin Yeow’s thoughts: Thank God I Found You
After a one-year whirlwind romance, Catherine and Alex made the commitment to spend the rest of their lives together. To others, it might seem like a rather short courtship, but the couple must have felt it unnecessary to wait any longer since they were so sure of their love. Catherine wanted very much for me to sing Thank God I Found You at their wedding. Perhaps the lyrics mirror her emotions…
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I’m overwhelmed with gratitude
Cause baby I’m so thankful I found you
Performing at Mandarin Court (formerly known as Act 1) was a joy because the in-house sound system was very good. We also got bar stools from the hotel staff, so Clarence and I had a ball of a time singing from the stools. It felt as if we were at a lounge, performing to an intimate audience.
The guests warmed up to us pretty fast, and our number one fan that evening was a jolly lady called Ruth. She even came up onstage to sing Wonderful Tonight with me, and dedicated the performance to Catherine and Alex. Ruth’s harmonising was spot-on, and I enjoyed our impromptu collaboration very much.
The second “guest star” that evening was Lawrence, who gamely sang When You Say Nothing At All. Lawrence’s strong vocals fitted the song perfectly, and added to the joyous mood of the wedding celebration.
Congratulations Catherine and Alex! All the best to the both of you, and thank you so much for engaging us!
