NYE Countdown with Canon @ Jewel Box, Mt Faber

We performed for Canon's valuable clients at the Faber Glass Ballroom,
backed by a resplendent night view of the city, and cable cars.



Jewel Box, Glass Bar


It was snowing all night!

Roads up to Mt Faber were closed to the public that night,
so we were terribly privileged to join the crowd in watching the countdown fireworks
atop Mt Faber on the last day of 2007 :)



Happy New Year!

UBS Christmas Party

Dawn and Daniel brought the spirit of Christmas right into the heart of CBD,
at the office of UBS Wealth Management :)


Dawn on vocals, Daniel on guitar:

I love how the festive season brings the fun side out of people.

Playing at the UBS Operations Department Christmas function at their breathtakingly beautiful office at One Raffles Quay totally blew me away. We started the night with a jolly Christmas number "Let It Snow" to get the mood going, followed by some familiar favourites interspersed with more Christmas classics. It wasn't too long before the staff got in on the action with a hearty rendition of "Santa Claus is coming to Town" led by their department head.

During our break Daniel and I looked on while the attendees sportingly took part in a very interesting games segment. The fun mood carried on throughout the second set, with different people taking turns at the microphone to resounding cheers. But all good things come to an end, and the set ended on a high with everyone joining in on a very enthusiastic "We Wish You A Merry Christmas".

Thank you UBS Ops for being such an appreciative and fun audience!

Hi Yours Truly,

Sorry for the late comments :)

Been busy with work. Haiz..

Thank you for your wonderful singing at our wedding. All our guest really enjoyed your singing and had given many compliments.

"THANKS FOR THE GREAT PERFORMANCES!!!!"

It is a pity Cheryl and I were too nervous and forgot to take photo with you and your lovely band. (oppss... only found out after going thru all the wedding photos)

Also, we want to extend our gratitude for personalising each table with dedication slips! There were many heart-warming & touching notes written. Definitely worth keeping!!!

Best Wishes
Andy & Cheryl

and the family got together to sing a song for them - 月亮代表我的心 :)

Esther & Gary's Wedding @ Oriental Hotel, Grand Ballroom

Hi Yours Truly,

We are now in USA on our honeymoon hence only checked on your blog updates now.

Yet to catch up with most of our guests but from the few we had contact with, the reviews were great! You guys did a wonderful job at our wedding and the idea to do song requests was great! We could see that our guests were relaxed & enjoying themselves and we really had Yours Truly to thank for helping to put them so at ease. Gary & I enjoyed reading through the requests and dedication slips you have so kindly kept for us too ;)

The photos look good (heehee, they had to be cos we are in them! ;p). U guys are lucky to get them so fast cos we have yet to view ours! Just for the record, John is an old friend who is like a 'brother' to me and I really loved the surprise gift! Thanks for putting that photo in, I'm gonna email him to check it out ;)

For those who are reading this & still unsure about which band to use for your BIG day....do check out Yours Truly.... hear them perform live at Oosh & you'll be even more convinced of your choice by then.....just like we did ;)

Cheers
Esther & Gary

Garry & Shirley's Wedding @ Traders Hotel, Temasek Room

Garry and Shirley booked us long ago (about 6 months in advance)
after they heard me at Balaclava (I used to perform there on Fridays during Happy Hour)

They had personalised chocolates as wedding favours,
and also a pre-recorded wedding speech on video to thank their friends and family :)
A good tip for those who might get the jitters before their big speech!

Meta & Heng Rui's Wedding @ Four Seasons Hotel

Thank you very much for your band's wonderful performance on our wedding night and your gorgeous singing...you and your band definitely completed the night to make it perfect.
Our relatives and friends commented on what a great item your band is and how unique and special it made our wedding dinner, something that livens up the ambience!
All the songs were so beautifully sung and performed, even the last-minute dedications. The dedications cards were a nice surprise and something heartwarming for us to keep.
Once again, thank you very much for being part of our special night and wishing you and your band the very best! We'll definitely recommend Yours Truly to our friends =)

Warm Regards,
Heng Rui & Meta

The Singapore Marriott Hotel Wedding Show 2007

It was an afternoon of romantic passion and divine bliss.

Our passion for singing found us serenading away at the iconic Singapore Marriott Hotel, where we are honoured to be invited to perform at.


photo courtesy of Live!Studios

The red cushioned walls provided the perfect setting for us at the iconic Marriott Hotel, complete with a lingering fragrance in the air. (Honestly, it wasn't our imagination)

We performed a few jazz numbers, evergreens and even a dedication from a couple who complimented on our versatility!

In the midst of our singing, a guy holding a serious-looking handheld machine came over to us, , slotted a few copies of "something" onto our music stand. Oh boy, we were SURPRISED! The "something" was actually photos of us singing just a minute ago, immediately printed and presented to us on the spot. Thanks guys for such wonderful pictures!

It's always lovely to perform at wedding showcases - there is always an auora of bliss where couples gather, listening to us sing and planning their next steps into the lives.

We believe that love is the friendship set to music.
Give us a call to extend this friendship to us. =)

Private Party @ Sentosa Cove

... continued from yesterday's post

In fact, Emily's daddy enjoyed the sing-along sessions so much
he came up to me and asked,
"Are you working tomorrow night?", to which I replied, no...
and so he continued, "would you want to work tomorrow night?"

He promptly engaged us for the next day,
for a private party at Sentosa Cove,
where he and his friends gathered for a home-cooked meal and sang the night away :)

Feri and I were delighted to take a little "tour" at their vacation homes at Sentosa Cove,
and had an equally fun night :)

Baby Shower for Emily @ Crystal Jade, Paragon

Emily turns one month old,
and his loving parents threw a lavish party for her @ Crystal Jade Paragon,
in a private section with 5 tables of 10, for friends and family :)

They even engaged a balloon artist to whip up all kinds of knick-knacks
for the guests and their children,
as well as Feri and I (guitar+vocals duo) to sing jazz for them for the night :)

We were engaged for 2 sets of 45 minutes, but the crowd shouted encore encore!
so Daddy Dear made us stay for another set of 45 minutes :)

Emily was by then fast asleep...

SPH OMY Launch @ Vivocity
