Acting as Student

-
It's been a long long time since I last wore a school uniform. I have long forgotten how it felt like to be wearing one. I had a chance of wearing one earlier on this month. It's a bit ridiculous. I was asked to act in a modern Huang Mei Opera where I am supposed to act as a monitress. I wasn't a monitress nor a prefect when I was studying.

I was also required to act cute in this show because this script was catered for primary school students.


Do I look funny? Opera make up but wear school uniform. LOL. I think it's kinda cute and I sort of like it cuz it feels so comfortable wearing this instead of the usual heavy costumes. And my hair! My god. It's so damn long now! Too bad that day I didn't take a lot of photos because I don't really know the other actors. I only rehearsed with them twice, I don't even remember their names now.. oops.

Though it's kinda fun, it's tiring too. The first performance was at 1030am. Hence I have to make up like at 830am. It's super duper mega early for me. We acted 2 sessions, the second one was at 1230pm. The show still went smoothly though I din really rehearse a lot. The kids loved it. They were laughing their heads off from the beginning of the show till the end.

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 ...

Yesterday we had a performance at Holland Road Blk 2. I was doing the excerpt 'Broken Bridge' of Madam white snake and the others were doing Tang Bo Hu. 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... Me and Naiba... Hmm, too bad his face kana hidden in shadow lor. Susan as green snake. I didn't realise that she was wearing the costume wrongly lor.. haiz, too late to inform her liao...

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...
