How COVID Turned a Honeymoon Into a TikTok Hit
When the saying “till death do us part” hits a twist of white‑coat‑wrenched irony, you’ve got a modern love story. Local singer‑songwriter Amanda Ong and her beatboxer husband Amit Kashyap found their blissful getaway in New Zealand foiled by a 19‑year‑old virus.
The Honeymoon Hiccup
- • Amanda rang up the post‑mariage weekend with a typical bubble‑bath and beachy vibe.
- • Then the world’s worst spoiler: she tested positive for Covid‑19.
- • While many might have been turning up the volume on the struggle, Amanda decided to crank the laugh level up.
The 40‑Second Riot
On Monday, July 18, she dropped a 40‑second single titled “Covid on my honeymoon” onto TikTok. The clip has already racked up 361,000 views and 54,500 likes—because who doesn’t like a good laugh with branded #s—
In her breezy verse, Amanda pokes gentle fun at a virus that’s never quite played by the rules:
“What were the odds, what gives? Two weeks ago, I dodged 26 other positives. Including my brother my husband too, I even had a pesky little flu.”
Amit rebels into the chorus, turning a personal infection into a duet that’s as catchy as it is cheeky: “I have Covid on my honeymoon.”
What the TikTok Comment Section Is Saying
- Users are diving into the beat, leaving messages like “Love it!” and “Can we have the chorus in the kitchen?”

When a Honeymoon Turns into a Practice Session for Covid
It starts with a sob and a laugh. Jiang Ong, the popster who’s been shaking up Singapore’s music scene, opened up to AsiaOne about the moment she spotted the dreaded double‑line on her rapid antigen test kit.
“Heart sank, then we rolled with it”
She admits the shock almost hit her, but what made the difference was her husband’s comically light‑hearted take on the situation.
“We were even both joking about it like, ‘wouldn’t it be stupid funny if you got Covid during the honeymoon after dodging it for so long?’ We even came up with a sorta game plan the night before I decided to test myself. That helped us feel less disappointed.”
Turning the Blues into Beats
When the mood got so heavy that the new‑weddings strategy plan seemed to crumble, Ong turned to songwriting. She says the act of writing her own track was the fastest way to shift her focus from the gloom to the grind.
“I also needed to get my sad emotions out of the way to move on and find solutions instead of wallowing.”
Mid‑winter Money‑Wasting Mix‑up
- Cost: $6,000 (plus flights, accommodation)
- Length: 12 days of “honeymoon” bliss turned into a Covid quarantine
- Plan: No second honeymoon in the cards for the recovering singer
Love on the Stage
In June, during their wedding celebration, Ong surprised everyone with a heartfelt song titled I Remember. She found a unique way to convince her husband to join as the “vocal percussionist” on the track.
“I wrote a completely different set of lyrics and told him this was a Fiverr client’s order, and he’s a paid sessionist on the song.”

Point to Keep in Mind
