You & Alfred's wonderful voice has melted all of our hearts!! AWESOME!! Once again…THANKS!!~~ *big hug+muaks* :)

Karen&Alan

I love this ballroom!

The tables are on three tiers, looking down onto the stage, and it was really cosy!
However, the stage is really small, so it can only accommodate 3 people in the band maximum :)
Still it felt great to be so near to the guests, it's more intimate that way!

Karen & Alan were really sweet, the minute I met Alan, he said "Congratulations on winning the PK!" I replied, "Congratulations on getting married!" LOL

PS. Einein and I flew to Taipei to take part in 超級偶像SuperIdol to PK the contestants, and we won!

Here's a clip of our performance :)


Karen had this beautiful dress - here's a picture I snapped of her album! I love the details on the sweetheart neckline, and the layers peeking from underneath the hem!



They had an awesome bunch of sisters and brothers, who were super enthusiastic and really appreciative of us!

Karen's brother Awee also made a great emcee, he was funny and personable, and I felt like I knew all of them for some time already :)

Karen also noted several song dedications beforehand for their family and friends, which made my job even more special :)

Through her dedications, I could feel the love and attentive detail she showered upon her friends (even amidst the crazy schedule of wedding preparation), and it was no wonder she was so loved by them!

Here's her list:

That's What Friends Are For -
"we wld like to dedicate this songs to all our sisters & bros (our buddies) who helped us a lot during our wedding preparation"
(this of course met with screams and hoots and cheers)

Forever love - Wang Leehom
"we wld like to dedicate this songs to my elder bro -Awee & my sis-in-law Anne, this is the song which my bro sang for Anne during their Wedding dinner. I can still remember that very romantic moment =)"
(seeing Awee and Anne with their baby made it sweeter, Awee sang along to the song, and nothing beats the memory of your own wedding day :)

Always be my baby - "we wld like to dedicate this song to sis Joey & bro Raymond (the emcee)….wish that their wedding bells will ring soon after ours..this is the song that they use as their mobile ringtone."
(so sweeeeet! i love the way the couples look when i announce a special dedication for them... they become the stars of the day at that moment, instead of the newlywed couple!)

我只在乎你
"we wld like to dedicate this song to our parents, thanks for their love to us since the day we were born"

你的名字,我的姓氏 - 张学友
"we wld like to this song to bro shayn, who like this song very very much as Karen does…karen did promise him that alfred will give him surprise :p"
(i hope this surprise worked with shayn! it's alfred's classic hit!)

First Love - Utada Hikaru
"Karen: this song reminds me the time when I was studying in college at KL with my 2 sisters Jaclyn & Joey, we always hear this song in our room together... wld like to dedicate this song to both of them"
(Jaclyn nearly came onstage to sing this song! They were pleasantly surprised to hear this sorority sister dedication :p)

爱爱爱=方大同
"dedicate this song to one of my ji mui - Joanne...as she skipped 方大同's concert for my wedding"
(Joanne looked really surprised at being singled out for this dedication, but when I revealed the reason I could tell she was touched by this gesture :)



Karen's brother updated me about a rather complicated love story between their friends X & XM, so I was tasked to sing them a song to bring them together :)

I dedicated my finale song for them, but it wasn't enough!
They cheered for an ENCORE!! and we conceded, to 新不了情, which became the theme of X & XM!

Hope to sing at THEIR weddings soon! :D

Mr. Man's Birthday Celebrations @ Meritus Mandarin

When we performed at Ian's wedding some time back, he liked us so much that when his dad was to turn 60, he roped us in with the surprise celebrations!



Today's team:
Dawn on Vox
Ein on Keys
Lim Hui on Violin
Wah Yong on Upright Bass
Niq on Percussion

We learnt the Cantonese birthday song a.k.a. 祝寿歌 as the special entrance song to kick off the party. Lots of presents were given to Mr. Man during the course of the night as part of a very thoughtful program which included speeches from old friends and colleagues, some of whom have been working for Mr. Man for more than 20 years!



Happy birthday Mr. Man from all of us at Yours Truly!

xoxo,
Dawn

Victor & Niko's Wedding @ Meritus Mandarin

From the Bride...
"Thank you for the wonderful performance. Everyone enjoyed themselves at the event :)"


***

Check out Niko's super cool purple gown! I wouldn't expect anything less from this spunky bride who strut down the aisle to Wondergirls' Nobody :)



Their dinner guests were no less enthusiastic. The groom's uncle was all pumped up from the minute he saw the band! In his own words, "I was so sad when I heard that there wasn't going to be a band. I almost didn't want to come! I'm so happy to see (your band) here!" Said uncle was later spotted on stage shimmying to the sounds of 'sway' and '甜蜜蜜'.







Thank for having us Victor & Niko! And happy marriage :D

xoxo,

Bee Keng & Kim Soon's Wedding @ Meritus Mandarin

It's been really cold and raining a lot in Singapore the recent weeks and I must say nothing warms the heart more then the smile on the wedding couple Bee Keng & Kim Soon as well as their invited guests!

The ballroom at Meritus Mandarin was large with at least 60 tables and almost 1000 people who turned up for their big day!

The ballroom was really huge and grand, our band was situated on the left side of the stage so that the guests could have a clear view.

Ein Ein the keyboardist, Chanel the Female Vocalist & Leon (myself) the male vocalist were happy to represent Yours Truly!
We brought many songs for the couple as well as the audiences, to name a few : Gorgeous 爱的整好 By William So & Kit Chan, 愛很簡單 Ai Hen Jian Dan By David Tao, Dream A Little Dream, Quando Quando Quando ....

The couples 1st march in song was also performed by our very own band, 'Lovers Concerto' as the guests stood up and welcomed the beautifully dress bride and handsome groom!

As we performed on stage, dedication slips were handed our to us one after another, there were so many request of songs that we were trying our best to deliver all of them, it's a good sign of confidence the guests had in the delivery of the band from Yours Truly!

It was a wonderful feeling being a part of Bee Keng & Kim Soon's wedding, I am glad I could share this moment, I wish always loving and ever lasting happiness!

Yours Truly,
Leon Lim
