This is my very first time doing at this amazingly high ceiling ballroom. I find myself staring at the main LED backdrop which is so gigantic, you just cannot miss. Basement floor which is used for the welcome & where the main Lohei takes place.
Of course its always a challenge to move the guests from space to another, that takes time for them to settle down, plus it was standing room only.
Comedian Kumar was invited to entertain the audience but i found it did not fit well with this particular audience as Kumar demands a bit of attention as in all Standup comedians. So he cut short his segment & I kind of have to pick up from there.
But I guess because I really like to enegage audience, & i felt i had to step up from there. So I went full force singing & playing my game, as the audience slowly but surely gravitated towards the stage & me of course.
Received this from the client right after the show:-
I like how she uses ‘love’ because it means that the love we put into the show really can touch people’s hearts! It comes from loving our multicultural heritage, loving our diversity, loving our Singapore...20 years of promoting Singapore entertainment. Wow! 20 years-I am very grateful that my love for our Singapore’s unique cultures has never faded, it continues to inspire me to reinvent the show! Just when I say ‘this looks like the final version’, I will add & change the next one because that’s really reflective of how Singapore is like, constantly changing & always evolving! But 1 thing is for sure-I love you, Singapore I always do & I always will! #singaporeculture#singaporesong#ilovesg#singaporeculturalshow#singaporesingerwww.AlexTanSing.com
I was asked to take on the colourful theme & so decided to don my new Oriental Prince ensemble. In bright brilliant colours of Purple, Green & Gold, I decided to make an impression! So many guests were taken aback by my effort that I put into my costume. Even my client was pleasantly surprised by the efforts.
Just look at the enthusiasm of my face in the pix, I can't describe how much fun I've had during the night even thought it was a nonstop award after award programme. Even thought it is such, I still manage to impress the big boss & the committee members who were all prizes by the end of the night!
From mediocre to GREAT, that's what I aim to help you get started on that road, especially with no prior experience, begin with the following 5 simple tips:-
1. Prepare the Script
Nothing beats being prepared, so get a script, even in point forms for the wedding celebration so that you have all the programme activities all listed down. Keep refining it till you feel you can't change it anymore to make it better.
2. Make it Personal
You must know the bride or groom very well to be asked to be the Emcee (Master of-Ceremony) So give the audience a personal side of how you knew them, or some interesting incident that involved them. Family & friends will love you for that & also know them better!
3. Tell a Joke
Everybody loves a little humour to lighten up the atmosphere. So prepare a lighthearted joke or 2 or 3 to break the monotony of the wedding event. But be aware of your limits to the kind of jokes you are deliberating making sure its politically correct or not too dirty for the conservative parents or relatives.
4. Practise, Practise, Practise
Get every chance to practise your lines & delivery amongst your friends, to gain confidence & be familiar with the activities. It will certainly boost your confidence. If not, pretend you are speaking to an audience.
5. Watch my Videos

Reviews, Testimonials & Thank You's from wedding couples:-
The Sheraton Towers Grand Ballroom & Meeting rooms have recently been refurbished sometime near end of 2017 to reflect a newer modern look. It's amazing to be performing here after a gap of months, probably years. The entire ballroom feels new.
Especially for weddings, the sound system also has been updated to create the perfect sound for weddings. That can save a lot for the wedding couples. Plus it is powerful enough for the purpose.
I sang quite a variety of song genre from Ballads to Rock & Roll- the new speakers can still take the load. This is unlike some other places trying to pass off pipe-in speakers as PA sound system.

The Wedding Cake
The moving lighting when it's on does a terrific job of changing the mood, i like how it sets the loving mood with the pink or magenta colour with the gobos. It really lends a classy sophisticated feel to the place. Aircon is also sufficient too.
I was so glad to find out that my very first review for 2018 is out! It really speaks volumes of what I have been trying to achieve all this while.
I am so grateful to my supporters & fans who have given this golden opportunity of doing what I love to do. it is really an amazing feeling to receive such generous testimonials.
It will spur me further to continue getting better at what I love to do, to bring it to another level, to entertain, to engage to enliven the world with laughter & love.
The 2018 New Year Eve Party event at Serangoon Gardens Country Club was such a blast! I started the event on a high note with a warm up dance to get everyone in the mood!
As the theme is Knights vs Dollies, a East meets West theme. I thought I had better make sure it has a little bit of both. Of course when it comes to conceptualising the showtime, there are more challenges as I have to morph from one theme to another extreme which are opposite ends of the spectrum. But I always love challenges & welcome them with open arms- as long as I have ample time to prepare so that I deliver my best!
In short, I feel I had tried to enliven the chosen theme much more.
After that, I did a West Showtime with some Latin tracks interacting with the lovely guests.
Then I did a complete 360 degree turnaround to the other diverse East theme, singing my new repertoire of the Shanghai Dollies which I interacted with the audience to ra-ra them. What a complete high that was!
but nothing beats the excitement of the new year countdown as I directed the crowd like a choreographer, making them do synchronised movements for a good 15minutes till the very last minute when we do the countdown.
All in all a job well done & a New Year well received!!!
It's that time of the year again when we take stock of what has happened during the year. I must say it's been a very fruitful year for me both in the personal front as well as on the artistic & creative front.
I am very grateful to embark in creating more wonderful events for all my clients, which has been quite a varied lot from flying overseas to Phuket recently for an insurance client to making an impression for all the wedding couples.
Most gratifying is when when they introduce you to another wedding couple, means they love you enough to want to see you again!
Such is the joy i received when I found out what an impact I have made!
Physically, I feel I have improved my energy & prowess to attack the rigours required for an event.
Musically, I have been working every hard to improve my keyboard skills. Almost everyday in the past few months without fail, I have been working tirelessly to bring my skills to the next level. If only most people find out what it takes to reach another level of artistry, they would be amazed by the amount of time it requires!
So I am all set for another year to finetune my craft & attain greater heights. Of course, I have new resolutions to fulfill too! the problem is which one shall i embark in tackling first....we will wait & see!
