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.

Tay Ping Hui finally reveal the suspense about his "future wife"

Remember earlier this year when Tay Ping Hui thanked his "future wife" at the Star Awards and everybody was like guessing what he actually meant?
Well, he finally spilled the beans...

Ping Hui finally tied the knots with his long-time girlfriend last Friday (18 June 2010) at a 7 star hotel - Capella Singapore in Sentosa. Edna, now known as Mrs Tay, is a 39-year-old lecturer with the National University of Singapore.

The wedding dinner was a simple affair – a small gathering with close relatives and friends. Ping Hui also showed his romantic side that evening, serenading his newly-wedded wife with a ballad on stage.

World Cup boom or gloom for dating couples

Has the World Cup that just started a few days caused you and your partner to drift apart? Or will this lovely game nurture your relationship since both of you have the same passion?

I don't watch soccer. If I watch, I comment about everything like the colour of the player's jersey, the big big advertisers that are getting so much media coverage, the audience who dress up just because of the match.. In fact, it’s almost everything but the game itself.. On a contrary, my partner is a HUGE fan of soccer. We had our first little fight over the last weekend when he wanted to rush dinner just to catch the game, but other than that, I (think) I’m fine with losing a little attention of his to the little soccer ball that unites the nation together. Since it is just once in every 4 years. Right?

And so I ask, is it common? Does that happens to you as well?

64 matches over 25 days, that's almost 100 hours. My only solution is either I live with it, or, start to appreciate soccer. Well, I have already asked him out to watch soccer this coming Friday. Guess it's pretty obvious which solution I have chosen.

Or probably the world cup craze has inspired you to do something interesting for your wedding just like this video montage… http://vimeo.com/5080961
