Hair styling

-
Recently, I got to know this Canadian girl who is interested in cultural stuff. We often talk about chinese opera and I am surprised that she does know some things about chinese opera and from my photo, she can tell that I am doing Ge Zai Xi.

She is very interested in how I style my hair and how wig actually looks like so I told her that I will take photos of the process and explain to her. It is very difficult to explain the process without photos because she probably can't imagine what a 'gu ding' looks like.

Yesterday I spent a good 1 hour or so messing with my wig and hair pieces. YH was smsing me at the same time but I told her I am busy. She ask me 'busy wat?'. I told her I am messing with my wig. She replied that I ki siao, no performance mess with wig for what.

I am a very nice friend lor. If any friends of mine is interested in opera-related stuff, I don't mind make an effort and show it to them. In a way I am trying to spread the arts of opera.

(Talking about opera arts, YH, May and me got a funny conversation about it on Sunday.)

Back to the topic, I took some time to arrange the hair pieces but no matter how I arrange, they don't look nice leh. Think I was not on form yesterday or maybe I was abit tired. So in the end I just did something which looked overall ok only. Haiz..

I was thinking about posting those photos here too but then I remembered that EVERYONE who is reading my blog probably knows how to fix the 'dan' hairdo. There is no need to provide step by step instructions here. LoL.

I have sent the photos and explanations to her. Hopefully she can understand what I am trying to say!

A very crowded troupe

3 more students joined COI. That officially makes COI GZX troupe a very crowded troupe. In fact, overly crowded. There are 21 students now and including Ang, we will have 22 actresses/actors. Ang is going to have problems squeezing in all the students into 1 show. I don't think there are lots of shows which have 22 roles. Bao Hua and Zhu Ying has joined us for some time so they are not considered newbie already (MD mentioned that they are newbies in his blog). The 3 newbies I am talking about are Wanru, Si Qing and Ai Qing. Si Qing and Ai Qing are not sisters. They just happened to have 'Qing' in their names. I have not taken pictures of Siqing and Aiqing but I will try to take some and blog. I have got a few pics of Wanru but I will blog another day. As usual, Ang did her usual rounds of asking whether the newbies want to be dan or be shengs. Frankly speaking, both roles are overly crowded already. Competition is getting strong but still, we are still harmoniously getting ...

I couldn't find a Xu Xian (YH dun like this role) so I got no choice but to ask Naiba for help. Heng he was free that day to help us. Kanglong found a very nice spot to take photos and everyone took photos at that spot.... I think this spot is nice too with the pillar behind and the flowers and the white background...

N+1

I was browsing the internet looking at opera related videos when I came across a song 'N+1' sang by Chris Lee. Man, I was surprised by the opera elements in the song! She combined hip hop and chinese opera (like Jay and Lee Hom) and the MTV is quite nice. It's like abit of hip hop dance and some chinese opera. Chris Lee even dressed up in opera 'wu dan' costume! Hee hee, but she looked a bit weird. Her actions are good but looks wise, weird. Ok, the MTV. I should learn to sing this song. Lol...
