Jacqualine & Jia Nian's Ties The Knot!

I was here last weekend with my BFFs to attend Jacq Jacq & Jia Nian's wedding banquet. Food at Park Royal On Beach Road is delicious!!!



Yongwei bought an enormous wedding gift for the newly weds.


The bride & the bridegroom are 'WOW' max.
Tall, pretty & handsome!
I kept repeating this to everyone I see at the wedding, " 新娘好漂亮, 新郎好帅好帅哦！"




And look how considerate Jia Nian is towards his wife.
*Sweet to the max*









Read the messages on our wedding favors and you'll know how much the couple have done so that we feel appreciated.

Thank you, Jacq Jacq & Jia Nian!





The Beauty & Hunk cutting their wedding cake:












My 2cents worth for this wedding band:
As a wedding singer myself, I personally feel that the girl's singing is wonderful.

As for the guitarist, please remember to tune your guitar before your performance. All performers know this: it's is forgivable to have some technical hiccups here & there. However, it is unforgivable when a guitarist fail to tune his guitar properly for his performance.

During the 2nd half of their show, they sang karaoke instead of doing unplugged. If I were them, I would sing karaoke throughout should I know I'll be doing minus-1 tracks later. On a personal level, I cannot tolerate live performers singing Minus 1 tracks if I know they can do unplugged. Minus-1 tracks should only be done at casual periods with friends & family, rehearsals, practices & at your own leisure time if you're a professional live singing performer.

It goes to show that this band have not prepared enough songs to perform for the crowd.

Back to the food.
I feel so blessed eating the whole night!











There were only 5 of us at our table. But we managed to finish the food!
Then again, with Yongwei, what can't we finish?!
LOL

Of course, what's great food without great company?
BFFs FTW!

Jacq Jacq, now you know what is it right? :p

The BFFs also spotted Clara! :)

祝 Jacq Jacq & Jia Nian 
百年好合, 白头偕老, 
早生贵子! (yong wei's favourite tagline)

Kendi, You're Married!

Welcome to La Villa @ 341 River Valley Road.

It is an Italian Restaurant with a really soothing ambiance.

Planning for a candlelight dinner on Valentine's Day with your date?

Start booking a table there now!

Kendi, You're Married!

*Chant for another 100 times*

I can't believe how hasty time flies when he first told me in October 2010 that he's going to get married on the 1st January 2011 and then, it's here already!

The Catch:

He has engaged me as his wedding singer!

My very first wedding performance!

And I'm so nervous but I'm so glad I did it!

Fino, the handsome Korean-Ah Beng(as quoted by his sister, Cartecious) greeted me at the reception. It's actually very unique because usually you'll see ladies/sisters doing all the registrations for guests, ushering etc. Kendi's wedding was all prepared for by his 'ah-kar-liao' brothers!

My perspective of this wedding:

One of the simplest yet closest, most elegant, most romantic and unique wedding banquet I've ever been to.

His wedding concept:

A place for about 150 guests.

Brothers to help.

Live band with blast of a lifetime sound system.

Solemnization procedure.

Buffet.

Little kids running around in texedos and floral dresses.

Toast and tekan session.

You're the MAN, Kendi!

A mini outdoor garden of the restaurant:

Long table with candlelights:

Kendi had his slideshow set up at the front portion of the restaurant.

A damn 'zai' PA system so awesome, I 150% recommend wedding couples/RCs to get Audio Rentals from him. His name is Patrick, another passionate guy towards Audio and Music.

My perspective of the restaurant as I am doing my rehearsal for the Wedding Performance later:

How can I leave out my most beloved Desmond, the guitarist?

And he is PATRICK, the PA guy I mentioned earlier:

If there's one thing I wanna do, that's to indulge myself in bottles of RED WINE, Chilled.

I'll do that after my Showcase.

She's Cartecious, Fino's younger sister.

I've not seen her for like.... 3 years?

She's SOOOOoooOOO adorable than ever!!!

And so we signed the guest book together.

Pardon me for my broken English writting the message, I just wanted to sound more local. =p

Here's Cartecious' blessings for Kendi!

The Solemnization

The bride, Nan, changed into her second wedding gown thereafter.

BUFFET BUFFET!

Desmond's really looking forward to this.

You're married!

I have to repeat that because I'm really very touched and happy for him.

How can I forget to mention my very best pal throughout my teenage years?

I present, Boi.

Fino, you're drunk.

The tekan session after the toast was that Fino was made to sing solo on 'stage'!

For his Brother, Kendi!

And you're steady, Fino!

He sang 至少还有你.

Kendi made his thank you speech in such humour every attending guest laughed madly.

Once again, and never enough,

KENDI, YOU'RE MARRIED!!!!

Congratulations.

*wipe tears*

I am so touched, god.

To think that when I first know you,

you're just another average teenager playing soccer with a big group of other teenagers at the basketball court. Now you have a family, a wife, your own shop, a car etc...

YOU ARE ALL GROWN UP!

早生贵子！

Kind-hearted people shall be rewarded.

You are one of them.
