Eelyn Kok bids goodbye to Singlehood!

Earlier during Fann Wong's wedding in an interview, Eelyn Kok, 32 this year, hinted something about getting married later part of this year but no plans as of then.

Just about less than a week ago, Eelyn Kok was admitted to the hospital suspected to have drank bleach and commit suicide. Upon seeing the news, I immediately wonder if it has got anything to do with her wedding calling off.. Hmmm.. At an interview, Eelyn Kok explained that it all happened because her landlady had put bleach into a container for dish-washing liquid but did not label it. After using a frying pan to cook her food, Eelyn used what she thought was detergent from the container to clean the pan. The next day, she used the same pan to reheat some food and fell sick after consuming it. Ridicules I thought.. Must be some excuse to cover up the failed suicide.. But again, who am I to comment so much..

Today, I read the news and realised that indeed, she is getting married somewhere in Oct.. Oops.. So that means my assumption is wrong and I have wronged her.. Double oops..

The couple got to know each other through mutual friends and after more than two years of courtship with her auditor boyfriend, Eelyn is finally agreed the proposal (which took place 3 months ago)! Eelyn will register for their marriage Oct this year and will throw the banquet dinner in 2011.  

Congrats to Eelyn!

Let the Music Play

A string quartet, a live band or a DJ? EUGENE WEE lends some band aid on picking the live entertainment for your big day.


PICKING THE RIGHT ONE
Hannah suggests auditioning the DJs and bands on your list before making a decision. That way, you can see which band or DJ has the vibe and energy you're looking for.

If you can't catch their gigs, ask for a recording of their performances. Better yet, see if they have a video of their performances so you can see and hear them in action.

It is also advisable to interview the bands and DJs. Find out how long the band has been together, how many weddings they have performed at, how much they charge, if they have references or testimonials from past clients, etc.

Don't forget to ask candidates for their playlist or repertoire to have an idea if they'll be able to perform the genre of music or specific songs you'd like.

If you're going to get a DJ, Hannah recommends going for established names even though it may cost more. For DJs, I recommend those with vast experience working with corporate companies who do huge events. Don't try to save a few hundred by getting any DJ. You may end up paying more in the end if they're not equipped to support you on your big day.

A GOOD BRIEF
To ensure things go according to plan, brief your band or DJ thoroughly. Give them a list of your favourite singers and bands so they can suggest a playlist. Also provide a list of genres or songs you don't want in the playlist. For example, it would be inappropriate to play a raunchy hip hop tune if you have a lot of conservative guests.
