Ein Ein on keyboards

Karen and Jet heard us at the Holiday Inn Parkview wedding fair,
and decided to engage the band thereafter :)

We were very well taken care of by the bridal party,
who constantly asked if we needed drinks or food :)

Photobucket

Jet readily agreed to my suggestion of singing for Karen,
and he did a beautiful job... singing You Are So Beautiful....
words every bride would love to hear ;P


Karen's jiemeis were the life of the party,
and had great ideas for the gatecrashing! :)

Photobucket

They also sang along to their dedication "Say A Little Prayer With You",
and to our finale song of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" :)

Lovely photos once again, thanks to Yew Kwang! :)

Ode to Joy Charity Showcase @ Lunar

Photobucket

Together with like-minded people, driven by the passion for music and charity,
I recorded a song for this album Ode To Joy,
and Chanel's self-penned 謝謝你, 就是你 was included in this album as well :)


"All-Star" version of 謝謝你, 就是你.

This song was specially written for the heroes of the Sichuan earthquake tragedy,
and a group of us, (we call ourselves ZPGY, or 猪朋狗友) got together to sing this song.

Some faces you might find familiar -
Chanel, Ginny, Kewei, Dawn, Alfred, all vocalists of Yours Truly,
Kitty, emcee from Yours Truly,
and Ein Ein, Mark, keyboardists of Yours Truly. :)


A fundraising showcase for Ode To Joy was held at Lunar following the release of the album :)

Through music,
we find love in our friendship, and meaning to our song
and we find hope in inspiring those around us to do a little more for charity,
for those who need our help.

It's the least we can do :)

Giuseppe and Azlida's Solemnisation @ Flutes at the Fort

Photobucket

Azlida planned for a beautiful surprise for her husband -
right after their intimate solemnisation with only 10 other friends and family,
I appeared, playing the erhu, with his favourite song What A Wonderful World.

Photobucket

After which the party trooped upstairs for a breezy lunch affair,
and headed straight to Bali for all night partying!

Photobucket

Azlida is a photographer herself, specialising in baby and family portraits,
so it was interesting to find out which photographer she would pick for her solemnisation.

I wasn't surprised when I met Brian Ho from The Galeria again!
His work for May and Meyer last Oct definitely left an impression on myself!
