Hsin Yeow's thoughts - 你的名字我的姓氏 (Your Name, My Surname)
The story goes that Kathleen was mesmerised by Alvin's voice one day when both of them were at a karaoke joint.
Alvin sang
你的名字我的姓氏 (Your Name, My Surname), a moving ballad with beautiful lyrics and a soaring melody.
I particularly like the simplicity of the chorus:
从此以后无忧无求
(From now on, I have no worries or desires)
故事平淡但当中有你
(My story may be simple, but because you're in it
已经足够
(It is enough)
The couple's friends were so sure of Alvin's ability to sing under pressure that they only told us of their plan to surprise him just before we started our performance! And when the surprise was announced, Alvin did a double take, but recovered quickly and rose to the challenge.
I could see Kathleen's face blush in happiness as Alvin began to sing. She looked overjoyed as Alvin serenaded her with his strong and clear voice. When he finished, the audience gave a few rounds of thunderous applause!
Bevlyn and I had a great time performing with Ein Ein and Feri. The musicians' chemistry was finely honed after numerous performances together, and their different styles of playing complemented each other well.
Congratulations Kathleen and Alvin! Thank you for engaging us. Alvin, we'll call you if we need another male singer for Cantonese songs, okay?

Song to Recommend:
Daddy's Little Girl, written and sang by 萧萧 (Xiao Xiao)
- An uptempo number that is perfect as a song for fathers.
我含羞答答低头不语眨眨眼
你却一脸严肃不发言
这是什么样的一幅怪画面
怪的就像一团乱毛线
我一堆话说不出口
我现在只有一个心愿
让我轻轻松松和他天天见面
爸爸 我不会受伤
爸爸 别为我紧张
我要和他到处闯闯荡荡
My Baby 他风流倜傥
My Baby 是个男子汉
惊天动地的爱已无法对你隐瞒
花有重开日 人无再少年
我要试试轰轰烈烈
爱情总有可能历经撞撞跌跌
让我张开翅膀去飞翔
但我永远是 Daddy's little girl
我对你的爱 永远不变
