Me, Myself & Opera

Years ago, I first watched a production from this troupe, 十二面体, and it was also the first time I watched Kunqu. From then on, I fell in love with the melodious and sorrowful tunes of Kunqu. It also introduced a wonderful actress called Shi Xiao Mei to me. This time, they are coming to perform again and the show is 'Tears of Barren Hill'. The name belongs to a traditional Pekin Opera show but they are now presenting an experimental version of it. Doubtless, I won't be able to understand these kinds of experimental shows but I am still excited to see it! BECAUSE, Shi Xiao Mei will be there too and I am sure there will be some nice singings for me.. :D Yay, I got a ticket for 3 Feb. It's the only day I am free next week. I wouldn't reccomend people to watch this because they will come back to me and kp that they don't understand a thing. Well, that is normal. Just enjoy the experience can le.. :) Extracted from Sistic website: 荒山泪 进念•二十面体 （香港 / 中国） 让传统与当代发生碰撞，将现代意识...

I have been very fated to go to Indonesia. Once again, I am assigned to go Jakarta to perform but this time, I am going with SL~ Yippee, never go overseas with them before so I think it will be quite fun. SL got some very fun people too. To go Jakarta perform, I must learn a percussion instrument tho. It's the 4 bao. I haven't really been learning this instrument so recently, SL has been coaching me to use it. So far still ok. Nope, no opera this time, just Nanyin music. I will be leaving probably on 20 Feb and coming back 4 days later. Mung mung is going with me again!

Went to Kuang Wai Hospital for a charity show on 17 Jan. I like to do charity shows for the old folks although I don't get any money for it. Many people are like me too, they like to perform at old folks home. That day, I acted liu san with YH. I seldom get to act with YH because we don't really have a chance. YH felt that we have got mo qi with each other. I felt so too. I have known YH for quite some time and although not as long as some other friends of her, we talked about a lot of things so I sort of know what she is thinking sometimes. Sometimes I just look at her and I know what she wanna do. Hahaha... Sometimes la, not everytime. But then that day, YH dun want to let me take photos of her. So bad.. She hid her face..... My mum took this photos but she got shaky hands~ My mother sits in a very nice position. Hahaha.... She almost fell asleep. A staff there told me that I very 'chi zhuang', literally, eating make up. I don't really know what he meant. My mum s...

An interesting clip I found online. It's Einstein's clip made with Mei Lan Fang. I wonder why did Einstein want to film Mei

Today I went for photo shooting at SL for the GWJ show. It was a fine experience for me because I finally got the chance to do a FULL DATOU! Wahahaha. I am so happy cuz I have been wanting to do da tou for a long time and today I finally got the chance. Overall, I liked the effects of the da tou, think it's a refreshing new look for me but the feeling of having it on my head was not good! My head was throbbing with pain within 15 minutes. Then I feel a bit dizzy and nauseous after that. I think I will request not to tie it so tight during the show. Hahaha this is what we call Xue Pen Da Kou. Scary big red mouth of Uncle Lim. Uncle doing make up for Zu Peng, a newbie in opera but an experienced chinese orchestra player. Hahaha, so funny face. Zu Peng acting as a soldier. Me! Nice? My first big head~ I like it very much. I used to like only those taiwanese style wig but after I started learning opera, I find that 'da tou' is nice in it's own way. Moreover, it can shape my...

I am so .. can't wait for that movie to come! I have heard about this coming movie since a long time ago and finally, the movie is coming to town. There is no news as to when it will be screened. Anyone got any ideas? I found this video here from Youtube showing Leon lai transforming into Mei lan fang's yu ji. Surprisingly, he looks not bad as a dan. And here is the trailer!!

I just recieved my new hair pcs and oh GOSH! It is soooooo pretty!!! It's the PRETTIEST set of hair piece I own! :D Don't know when can use, I can't wait to use them really.. lol. But I didn't take any pictures of them to post because pictures cannot show us the true beauty of the hair piece.
