The Hennessy event where I sang with Gary Tsao (see the blog entry above) isn’t the only event I had going on for the past two months after the musical ended. I also took the time to sing at two friends’ weddings: Benny’s wedding in Hong Kong and Ellyn’s wedding in Tainan, Taiwan.

Both of the weddings were very touching. Benny’s and her lovely wife’s parents all gave very thoughtful and heartfelt wishes to the bride and groom. And Benny’s song dedication to Fion (the bride) was also quite memorable. Benny and I haven’t known each other for very long but I am really honored to be at his wedding and get to know his and Fion’s friends through the special occasion. I also dedicated two songs to the couple: Can’t Take My Eyes off You and You Light Up My Life.

Ellyn is a very special friend of mine. We met in Tokyo after we both finished our graduate studies in the US (Cambridge and Philadelphia, respectively.) We became friends quickly because she’s such a sweet girl and we also came to realize that her parents and my uncle in Tainan are good friends! We became closer friends after we returned to Taiwan and she introduced me to her entire gang of girlfriends whom I also became friends with. : ) I am really really happy to see Ellyn settling down with the man she loves. At her wedding, I sang the Greatest Love of All, 家後(a very moving Taiwanese song)and 我只在乎你 (Teresa Teng classic which I sang in both Chinese and Japanese). Jack (Ellyn’s hubby) joined me to sing the last song and Ellyn just couldn’t stop crying—tears of joy of course. Congrats Ellyn!

I also have recently joined an a cappella group called Semiscon. It’s probably the best-known a cappella group in Taiwan(? correct me if I am wrong) and they have been touring around the world for the last couple years. So I am excited about the upcoming tours! The practices have been fun. The people are also fun to work with. Looking forward to our first performance together at the Presidential Office on January 25!

因為希望所有的朋友們都可以了解我所想分享的內容,所以用中文再簡單摘要上述內容。

在結束十一月的公演之後,我除了忙著完成新書的翻譯外,也在兩個好友的婚禮上獻唱:香港朋友Benny在四季酒店的豪華婚禮,還有摯友Ellyn在台南大億麗緻的盛大婚宴。兩個婚禮都非常感人。很高興你們都找到今生的最愛!一定要幸福喔 ☺

我也正式在今年度加入了神祕失控人聲樂團 http://www.semiscon.com/
練習唱和聲其實非常有趣,而且我們的團員也都很有趣…
期待新的一年裡在國內外的演出!
