Bevlyn's thoughts: You Are My Angel


I am most blessed, to be able to record another album after the EP album I'd released in 2008. This is all made possible because I'm now under the wings of S2S, a Japanese record label which specialises in audiophile music, and I'm truly very happy to be part of this family since last November. We got into action quickly to put together a 2-CD album, which incorporates the 6 tracks from my EP album. I can only say I'm humbled by the help from so many super talented musicians, and the mastering which was done in Japan!

Mostly classics rearranged with a jazz spin, I hope you'll enjoy the music. Do feel free to preview the songs at MySpace, Reverbnation, or at my blog. The album is now available at HMV, That CD Shop, Gramophone, Sembawang Music, MJ Multimedia, CD Plus, New Village, Roxy Disc, Ears, and Chinatown shops …in Singapore. It’s also available in Thailand, Indonesia, and Hong Kong now. In 2 weeks’ time, it’ll be available in Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea & Philippines.

I hope you'll buy a copy to support local music. Hope you'll like the album! :)

Love,
Bevlyn

Bevlyn's thoughts: All I Want For Christmas Is You

"I'll also like to thank my husband, thank you for not having the 7-year itch...". Everyone laughed when they hear Audrey say this in her thank you speech. Funny as it might sound, I thought it showed how Audrey does not take their dating-marathon relationship for granted. So after a long 7-year dating marathon, Richard and Audrey finally tied the knots at Sentosa, which holds a special meaning in their hearts. When the band arrived, it was drizzling a little, and we saw Richard and Audrey having their solemnsation with many of their close friends and family outside The Pavilion. :)

The banquet started off with Tien-yao and I singing "I Finally Found Someone", along with Raziz's wonderful saxophone accompaniment. Being on the high stage meant that we could oversee most of the guests, and we were very happy to see some of the guests mouthing along the lyrics with us in between their bites!

The 2nd march-in is a special song which touched Audrey a lot when watching the Korean drama serial "Boys Before Flowers". So we learned the song specially for her, with Tien-yao on guitar and Raziz on saxophone:


The couple also shared a video clip which featured their close friends' congratulatory messages, which I find is always a memorable keepsake. :)

I was also very amused when a female elderly guest came up to me during my break and asked if I could sing "Nobody". Who could have imagined the reach of this song? :)

And though it was a month to Christmas, Richard and Audrey thought it would be nice for the band to perform 1 Christmas song, and we did! All I Want For Christmas Is You:


Congratulations once again Richard and Audrey! :)

Bevlyn's thoughts: Your Song

Jit & Brell have been together for 7 years, and after being engaged for 3 the last years, they finally tied the knots this November. Here's the couple's answer to me when I asked if they have any interesting stories to share:

"Brell learnt not to let Jit organize holidays after he arranged a weeklong trip to Russia, with a visa for only two days, which resulted in the Singapore Consulate having to rush to our aid in Moscow and force a passport official who had earlier denied us a new visa, to grant us an extension and get us out of trouble a few hours before our visas expired.

Jit learnt that Brell does tend to know what’s best after, insisting on moving his belongings to another apartment in paper and plastic bags, in an open top van, only for it to rain and everything to fall out when picked up.

Jit also learnt that Brell could probably set a record for watching Horror films after making him sit through 8 horror films in 1 weekend.

Brell also learnt that, Liverpool are the greatest team on the planet, that Steven Gerrard is amazing, that Fernando Torres comes from Spain and that Manchester United are a pile of crap"

So, after reading this, I was really curious to meet the couple for myself! On the big day, I was received by the gentle Jit, and the graceful Brell (I LOVE her wedding dress and head veil, will post photo soon). The party was like a mini-world; many guests flew in for the wedding celebration, so we had many guests of different nationalities and races!

I could not help but notice that Jit and Brell had chosen many songs by British artists: Elton John, Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Ronan Keating etc. There were many British among the guests afterall :)

The guests were especially appreciative of the songs, especially the Mandarin songs, and the classics and jazz songs. We also did a special song - it was the birthday of Brell's father, so the band did an impromptu rendition of the Happy Birthday song for him :)

On a side note, other than meeting Sam from Vocare Media (we've a promotion with them here), I also bumped into a long lost friend from our secondary school days! Mindy was the official photographer for Jit and Brell's wedding. She recognised me and came up to say hi; imagine my surprise, after more than 10 years from school! She is now a budding, award-winning full-time photographer. Check out her photos here.

So, after our performance, the party was long from over. According to the programme I received, the party continued at La Villa, the lovely alfresco dining restaurant at River Valley Road. Well, they had wedding celebrations in the UK, Hong Kong, and now Singapore, which truly made a marathon of wedding celebrations. In Brell's own words "Let's Party!". And sure they did! :)

Bevlyn's thoughts: Greatest Day



I asked Justin later why he wanted to have a wedding lunch on a Wednesday afternoon, he replied that he had loved for the guests to enjoy the scenic view one can see from the huge window panel. Indeed, the band was so attracted to the swimming pool we regretted not bringing our swimming barangs along... (just kidding):

Compliments from Justin & Megan:

Dear Bevlyn, Ein Ein and Clarence,

Megan and I would just like to drop you A Little Note (pardon the pun!) to thank you for putting up such a fantastic performance at our wedding lunch yesterday!!

Our guests really loved your performance and Bevlyn’s lovely singing – there were so many compliments that we don’t know how to start relaying them to you. The oldies really loved the Deng Lijun songs and the ‘not-too-old’ ones loved everything from “If You Could What I see” to “爱很简单” to “恋之憩” (which sounded really beautiful ‘live’ – it’s an all-time favourite of our not-too-young friends). We loved all the songs (and it’s not just cos’ we chose them!) – including the birthday rendition for my mum.

We very much enjoyed the wedding and hope you did too – your performance created such a warm and touching atmosphere that we couldn’t have asked for more. Once again, our sincere appreciation for all your help – not just on the actual day, but the days/weeks of preparations and ding-dong emails leading up to it as well!!

Warmest regards,
Justin & Megan

Bevlyn's thoughts: 世界唯一的你 (The Only You In The World)

It was my first time at Meritus Mandarin's Mandarin Court, and I fell in love with it once I stepped foot into the three-tiered ballroom - what a neat concept! Performing on the side stage was a new experience because we had guests looking at us from the 3 levels (of different angles). The sound system was also wonderful :)

When Ein and I performed the 1st march-in song "From This Moment", Joyce and Dave walked down the stairs across the 3 levels and finally up the stage to cut the wedding cake. We then proceeded with our first set of 45min, which included some of my personal favourites:
But for the couple, their favourite must be 世界唯一的你 (The Only You In The World). Joyce had shared with me their proposal story: During one of their holiday trips in Taiwan, Dave brought Joyce to take a ride in a ferris wheel, and when their capsule was on the tip-top, Dave kneeled down, and sang this song to propose to her . Hence Joyce took the opportunity to use our band to dedicate this song back to her one and only one in the world, Dave!


We were also intrigued by the photography system for the evening by Martin T Studio; the wireless system allowed photographs just taken by the photographer to be projected onto the big screen almost instantaneously!

It was also certainly great moments for the band when we had a choir of guests singing along from their seats to our last song for that evening - 月亮代表我的心 (The Moon Represents My Heart). Here's our warmest wishes to Dave and Joyce, wishing them everlasting bliss and bountiful babies soon!

Bevlyn's thoughts: 就是爱你 (Just Loving You)

I met up with Shanyi in Feb earlier this year to find out more about the wedding song she wanted me to write for her hubby Zijie. Listening to their love story, and meeting and hearing her for myself definitely helped me to capture their personalities, which is critical for creation of the song :)

Time flashed by - I came up with the song, she filled in the lyrics, I got my musicians to come up with the music arrangement, we went to studio to record her voice, and voila some minor post-production editing and we're good to go. The song was intended to be embedded in a photo montage presentation Shanyi had done for Zijie, as a surprise.

We can't let you hear the whole song, but here's a snippet of the song - the intro (arranged by James and Shawn) :)

Before the 1st march-in, I witnessed the best wedding ideo I had ever seen - an artistic documentary which brought out the love story and emotions with the couple's acting, capturing only their hands/bodies and walking etc, never once showing their faces. Shanyi's voice was amazing in delivering their love story too. Wish I could share with you!

Bevlyn's thoughts: Close to You

I was so impressed when Melissa handed me this invitation card, along with the 'movie ticket' to the "The movie":


Indeed, it was like a movie premiere with life-size standees of the "lead characters" outside the "theatre hall":


The band had a lot of fun performing some of the couple parents' favourite songs. Jerome sang Paul's dad's favourite song "人生如梦 (Life's Like a Dream)"  while I sang "Yesterday Once More", a favourite of Paul's mum. Melissa's dad loves the song 榕树下 (Under the Banyan Tree); I knew Jerome was trying his hardest not to laugh when he started the song. Despite himself, he delivered the song to much applause at the end of the song!

Thank you Paul and Melissa for inviting us to be a part of this 'movie', we're so honoured to be casted! Congratulations again!



Band: Bevlyn, Jerome, Jixiang, Brad


Repertoire:

Close to You, 两只恋人 (Two Lovers), 期待爱 (Looking Forward to Love), Dreaming of You, Sing A Long Song, 一首简单的歌 (A Simple Song), I Have a Dream, 只对你说 (I'll Only Say It to You), I’m Yours, 专署天使 (Exclusive Angel), 恋爱频率 (Frequency of Love),

Bevlyn's thoughts: I Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)

This has to be one of the coolest wedding I've been to.

Niki and Zhi Heng got to know each other from school, but Cupid didn't have its armour strong enough back then to light the fire between the two. Upon graduation, they went separate ways - Niki flew and Zhi Heng sailed. It was only some years later when they caught up with each other again, that sparks flew. One thing they had in common is, they love to skate.

And what better way to demonstrate this common interest which binds them together, than to SKATE-IN!! Instead of the traditional wedding march-in, the couple had a 'skate-in', as in literally, they entered the ballroom on their rollerblades. I picked up skating only recently, and I was really wowed by how they managed to skate on the carpet! Niki told me later it was really tough especially toward the end, but honestly I wouldn't have guess from the captivating smiles on their faces!

Niki and Zhi Heng skated round the ballroom, then a real 3-tier wedding cake was pushed into the ballroom. This cake was special because it was made by a good friend, but also because the friend managed to design a device to rotate the couple figurine on top of the cake!


After cutting the cake, Zhi Heng took a flag in one hand, and with his other hand holding Niki's hand, both of them skated round the ballroom again to thunderous cheers and applause. What a lovely sight. And what other better "cruising" song to skate-in than this song "I Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)". Some of you may remember this song as the song from the "Gatsby" advertisement:


We also sang a song "That's What Friends Are For" to dedicate to the couples' friends on their behalf. But the songs most well-received are the mandarin songs like "每天爱你多一些" (Loving You More Each Day), "追" (Chase), "小夫妻" (Little Couple) etc.

Definitely a smashing wedding! Congratulations once again from A Little Dream!!

Bevlyn's thoughts: Come Fly With Me

27 Oct 2009 not only marked Ing Jen and Ashley's 5th year anniversary together, it also turned a page to the next chapter of their love life - as husband and wife. They met in Hawaii' as they went to the same university, did homework together at Starbucks, and eventually fell in love with each other. In the couples' own words:

Jen: The moment I saw her felt that she is the one and the more I get to know her I knew I was correct for the start. She is exceptionally beautiful both on the outside and inside…. She is more of the most amazing person I have met.

Ashley: The longer I spend time with him, I was quite certain that he is the one who I’ve been waiting for. We took care of each other while we study in Hawaii’ and made a lot of lovely memories. We had long distance relationship after Jen graduated and went back to Singapore. During that period, our relationship grew stronger and made me feel once again how important he is in my life.

The band started off by dedicating the song "I Owe You" by Lee Greenwood to Ashley's mother, on behalf of Ashley. It is a song really suitable to dedicate to parents:


The couple also shared a photo montage of their wedding reception in Korea, and for their 3rd march-in, the couple was dressed in the Korean  traditional wedding costumes, a rare sight to behold here in Singapore. 

Congratulations to Ashley and Ing Jen! We'd also like to thank Kim and her team from Wedding Concierge for the wonderful organisation!

Sofyan’s thoughts: 每天爱你多一些 (Loving You More Each Day)

 

It was a pleasant and elegant wedding banquet. We were entertained by Eric and Angeline’s pre-wedding photoshoot in MTV style done in Hong Kong - one featured the couple in the daytime, and the other featured them in the night-time. I personally liked the yacht and the sea shots. Ah… I want that for my photoshoot too… =)

 
We totally did not have any expectations when we were told to invite Hui Yi, an ex-student of Angeline when she taught in Nanyang School, up the stage to give a "speech". The image of a 7-8 year-old girl on the stage giving her well-wishes to the newly-wed in Mandarin was indeed too adorable for words!

Special mention of the evening goes to Lionel, the couple’s best friend, who sang 2 songs, each a representation of the bride’s and the groom’s heart to each other. For Angeline to Eric was the song "Valentine", and for Eric to Angeline, Lionel sang "Now and Forever". he even prepared a slideshow presentation of the lyrics to share with the guests the meaning of the songs!

 

Well, then, it’s my turn now. For both of you, 每天爱你多一些 (Loving You More Each Day):

Bevlyn's thoughts: From This Moment

This wedding brings me good funny memories.

First off, the band was engaged by Ashlyn for her beloved husband Shaun as a surprise - Shaun was the one who liked my music and asked Ashlyn to check out my cd. Unknown to him, Ashlyn contacted me on the sly, and we conspired (along with the hotel staff and wedding helpers) to keep the band a hush hush....well...until after the 1st march-in. Ashlyn recounted to me after the wedding what roughly happened after they sat down after the 1st march-in:

Ashlyn: "Did you notice anything different about the 1st march-in music?"
Shaun: "No...why? What's wrong?"
Ashlyn: (turned to the band and pointed)
(Bevlyn waved to Shaun and Ashlyn)

I thought that was really quite hilarious! :'D

Other than that bit, the best man and the bridesmaid both gave very entertaining speeches, I have to say. The best man shared that he knew Shaun many years ago when Shaun had "long orange hair" (quite hard to imagine). One of the punch lines he delivered was, "A man is not completed, until he got married.........and then he's finished". That joke aside, he commented that he had never seen a lovelier Shaun, and that is all thanks to Ashlyn who brought out the best in him.  Awwwww...

The bridesmaid's speech was indeed an entertainingly gender-biased one:

Advice to Ashlyn: Do not buy a new brand of beer just because it is on sale.
Advice to Shaun:
1. In the wedding, the woman will always have the last say. Whatever the man says after what the woman says is the start of a new argument.
2. Put your hand on Ashlyn's hand now, look into her lovely eyes, and savour this moment. This might be the last time you have the upper hand. :)

And like any good sabotage, Shaun was asked to re-enact the proposal; without hesitation, he went down on his knees and re-enacted the proposal! That's the way huh!

My favourite part of the wedding had to be when Shaun and Ashlyn walked past the band while going round tables, and Shaun suddenly stopped Ashlyn and danced to our rendition of L-O-V-E. Impromptu moments like these make it the more romantic!



Congratulations Shaun and Ashlyn, we're so happy to be 'the surprise' :D

Here's wishing you a blissful and joyful marriage!

Compliments from the couple:

Dear Bevlyn :) p.s. i attached a photo of us with you and ur band which was taken by a fren at the wedding :) u look so pretty~ :)

Bevlyn's Thoughts: 甜甜的 (Sweet)

Magenta and Chin Hong had arranged for a violinist, Lin Hui, to perform violin solo during the cocktail session to welcome their guests to the wedding. And then almost as if to usher the crowd into the ballroom, the band was scheduled to start singing 2 songs at 8pm. And sure enough, 2 songs after, the 1st march-in occured shortly.

With Jixiang on guitar, Shawn on percussion, and I on the vocals, we entertained the guests mainly with the crowd-pleasing classics chosen by Magenta and Chin Hong. I especially enjoyed 在你身边 (By Your Side), and the nostalgic 新谣 (folk song) 关怀方式 (The Way Of Caring):





The couple dedicated "月亮代表我的心" (The Moon Represents My Heart) to their parents, and "That's What Friends Are For" to their friends and helpers for helping out. In return, I dedicated "Wonderful Tonight" to Magenta, because she really looked gorgeous that evening!


Thank you Chin Hong and Magenta, we had a great time performing to your guests and here's wishing you a marriage always filled with simple joy in life!! Congratulations!

Hsin Yeow's Thoughts: Ti Amo

Poor Kym was not feeling well a week before her wedding. But looking at her radiant face on her wedding day, you wouldn't have known she had difficulty getting out of bed just a few days before.

Kym and Jon had several sporting friends who were intent on making the couple's first entrance into the ballroom an eye- and ear-popping one. It wasn't quite the 21-gun salute, but more than ten confetti guns were fired up as the couple took a long walk to the stage.


Just look at the floor of the stage!


One of the highlights of the wedding was a 'secret' slideshow Jon had prepared in honour of Kym. It was lovingly put together, and captured the highlights of their courtship.

What touched my heart (and I'm sure the hearts of many others) was a short clip of Jonathan's proposal, which was brilliantly done, by the way. We saw Jonathan strumming on a guitar, with a banner unfurling in the background, with the words, "Will you marry me?" Kym was obviously taken aback, and couldn't stop laughing.


Congrats Jonathan and Kym! It was a pleasure to perform at your wedding. Thank you for inviting us, and we hope that every day of your marriage will be filled with joy, surprises and laughter!

Compliments:

We first heard Bevlyn and Hsin Yeow at our cousin's wedding 2 years ago. We fell in love with their singing and we decided then, that we must have them sing at our wedding too!!!

We didn't have the opportunity to listen to them sing throughout our wedding. However, Bevlyn caught both our attention when she started singing 'I Love You' by Joanna Wang. We felt she sounded like the real rendition!!!

We received many good comments from our guests about Hsin Yeow and the band's performance. Many felt that their singing livened up the atmosphere and 1 of our friend even asked for their contact!

Thank you for the good job! We are looking forward to hear you guys sing at another cousin's wedding in December. This time we will be able to enjoy your performance!!! =D

Regards,
Jon & Kym

Bevlyn's Thoughts: 不老的传说 (Eternal Story)

We first got to know David when he enthusiastically stepped up to the band after our performance at Ying Ying and Jonaven's wedding in 2007. We were taken aback (because Singaporean audience are seldom warm and enthusiastic), but very happy to get to know David and knew about his love for live music. We saw him again a month later when he went down to one of the wedding fairs we did at Marina Square. So to perform at his wedding 2 years down the road, I think we have really come full circle :)

The wedding was definitely a lively one, not only due to the live music by the live band, but also by the meticulous and thoughtful planning on David's part. After showing the guests a photo montage of the couple's childhood photos, David arranged for me to first sing "How Do I Live" before we performed 天天夜夜 (Every Day Every Night)", which cued the grand entrance of David and Diana into the ballroom.

And for most couples who got to know each other because of common friends, I thought it important to acknowledge their 'match-makers'. David and Diana got to know each other due to their colleagues Adeline and Kelvin and things picked up swiftly from there as they shared many common interests (eg. live music and marketing and management theories and strategies amongst others). They officially became steads on 31 Mar 07, and 2 years later, they solemnised the marriage on 31 Mar 09.

The couple also shared a video featuring their close friends giving their best wishes, which is definitely a good keepsake in many years to come. After the 2nd march-in, David sprung a surprise on Diana - he had bought a diamond pendant for his bride, a very thoughtful gesture, in my humble opinion. He put on the necklace for Diana, and announced that he would next like to serenade his bride with a song 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You'. A song which speaks a thousand words, from the days of doing OT in office when they first got to know each other...

David's rendition was nothing short of spectacular. Diana, you are such a lucky gal! :)


Thank you David and Diana for getting us to be a part of your wedding celebration, we will remember this wedding in many years to come. We wish you and Diana every little joy in life!

Compliments from David & Diana:

We wanted the guests to share our joy, get to eat some really good food, and enjoy the music that was dedicated for them. We have done it!! Thanks to your help, we managed to entertain our guests to no end. They appreciated the entire wedding, as the value was far more well worthy than what they have paid for in their Ang Pao $$ (^_^)

Perhaps, wedding banquets should not be a dull event with the usual march-ins, doing yum seng toasting, and having the food.. A Little Dream, in my opinion, has changed the way how weddings are being carried out in contemporary times. Through the effects of Bevlyn and A Little Dream, it's really becoming a trend and a must to engage a band of wedding singers to perform in today's wedding banquets to entertain the guests.

Congratulations! I am sure A Little Dream would continue to be a popular name and an ever successful band. You are the reason why I felt in love with attending wedding banquets - cause' I may have a chance to see you guys perform! (I used to complain because of the 'red bomb')

For the performers:

Bev, I have 100% confidence that you will make my wedding a success! I want nobody nobody but U!! Your vocals have touched the hearts of my guests, and I am both thankful and appreciative. I also have a few guests who were so impressed by Jerome's 'Jacky Cheung alike' vocal, they were asking me for his contact for future functions to sing Chinese/Canto songs!!

Your light-hearted way of emceeing and thoughtfulness, coupled with Jerome's funny and delightful speeches, have certainly made my wedding lunch a great and unforgettable event.

Also, I am so glad Ein was there to back me up when I was singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". She has been a terrific keyboardist and I certainly anticipate to see her in other weddings and youtube videos ;-) & not forgetting Lim Hui and her new electric violin which makes it's debut in my wedding lunch!! Woah~I am so honored!!

With you, Ein, Jerome & Lim Hui on the stage, what else can I ask for? You guys should go forth to Taiwan and kick some asses in Xing Guang Da Dao!!

Best Wishes,
David & Diana

Ein Ein's Thoughts: 大家庭的温暖

这还我第一次，听到了这么长的致谢名单!

我想Lincoln的致谢词里，一定是把大家庭里所有的成员，一个个都点名道谢了 :-D 
从他的感谢词里，你可以听得到的，
是每一位家人亲友对他们的支持与爱护，为他们的婚礼劳心的付出与祝福。 

更窝心的是，听到Lincoln的点名致谢，
几乎每桌亲戚都是热情大声喝彩和鼓掌回应，
全场气氛一时间充满了欢乐和感动。 

Lincoln也准备了一首now and forever献给Audrina。
Lincoln用心温柔的歌声，
两人四目交投的眼神，
加上Audrina难掩的喜悦和笑容，
这样的画面，真是多令人羡慕的幸福！  

今夜星光熠熠的水晶灯饰把Fullerton ballroom照得多华丽，
而此刻，却是大家庭的温暖，把这场喜气洋洋的晚宴，燃得更亮了。

Bevlyn's Thoughts: 当我八十岁 (When I Am 80)

I read it on newspapers recently that it is getting more popular for young couples to take pre-wedding photos abroad, and Calvin and Grace did just that! Before the lovely couple marched into the ballroom, the guests were shown a series of breathtaking pre-wedding photos the couple had taken in Venice, Italy. Here's some for your preview!


It was a wedding luncheon, and I thought the songs handpicked by Calvin and Grace were most appropriate to entertain their guests - a good mixture of jazz, pop and mandarin pop. The upbeat jazz numbers, especially their 1st march-in song "It Had To Be You" set the swingy mood for the afternoon, and we continued this mood for a while with songs like "Let There Be Love", "La Vie En Rose" etc. One song I love in particular to learn and sing for this wedding is "I'll Follow You Into The Dark". Calvin and Grace gave me appreciative applause after our rendition, but really, we enjoyed the song as much too!


Calvin had earlier asked me to perform my original "当我八十岁" (When I'm 80) right after his speech, for reasons he did not share with me. It was only later that I got to know the reason. To end his speech, he looked at Grace lovingly and said, "I will still love you and dote on you when we're 80 years old". That, is probably the message I wanted to convey when I first wrote the song :)


Thank you Calvin and Grace for all the good memories of your wedding celebration. We wish you all the love and happiness and many more blissful years to come!
