An all-female vocal group with singers hailing from various parts of Asia, now based in Hungary.

We are an all-female vocal ensemble with singers hailing from various parts of Asia, including Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Luo Yang, China. Just as tulips that come in a variety of colours, so the vocal ensemble explores a colourful range of repertoire, including, but not limited to, renaissance, classical, romantic, and contemporary A Ca****la music from different cultures.

What an amazing weekend at the Night of Choirs in Romania (Kórusok Második Nagyváradi Éjszakája)! Such an eventful night of music-making and new friendships 💕
We also want to show our appreciation to Árpád and Csíkszerda for being such great hosts and looking out for us every step of the way, from translating to ensuring we are fed and got back safely. Thank you!!

Hello everyone, we're back in action!🌷 With Esther Kueh's return back to Malaysia, we will mostly be working as a quintet and bringing you a lot more new repertoire!
We're most definitely going to miss Esther, but also super proud of the great work that she's doing with the choral community in her home country. (She was recently a judge for a choral competition in Malaysia!)
That said, stay tuned to our page for updates of our upcoming activities!😘

Members' pick #2: 给我一个吻 (gei wo yi ge wen)
给我一个吻 (gei wo yi ge wen) is a Chinese pop song which translates to "give me a kiss". The arrangement which we performed was a medley of two songs, the second being 我要你的爱 (wo yao ni de ai), which translates to "I want your love".
A playful song which never fails to bring a smile to our faces when we sing it, this song is very special to us as the arrangement was written by our very own Yvonne Yee. It was such a joy to have the audience enthusiastically singing along, and we hope that you enjoy this special memory as much as we enjoyed singing together with all of you!

Member's pick #1: บัวขาว (Bua Kau)
บัวขาว (Bua Kau) is a Thai art song that was introduced to us by our dear friend, Pathorn Swasdisuk. The lyrics of the song depict the peaceful scene of a white lotus blooming in a pond of crystal-clear water, where one can see the fishes swimming, as his boat glides slowly on the water.
The rendition of this performance was beautifully arranged by our very own Samantha Wee, and the soloist was none other than Pathorn himself. We enjoyed every moment singing together, and we are happy to share this special memory with all of you!

And it’s a wrap! We have so much gratitude to express: Thank you to everyone who came to our concert, and supported us in one way or another. Putting together a full-length concert like this meant a lot to us. It was a consolidation of what we've worked on this entire year, and we are so happy that we could share it with you. It was also an honour to have shared the stage with Sajt, CanBe and Pathorn. Here's a video of the finale, sung by all the performers
