Me, Myself & Opera

Last week my mum told me this when I got home from class. "Susan asked if you can do a charity show on Monday." "Eah, now can do show meh? You want to do then do lor." "..... So you want to do or not?" "You want to do then do lah. I got leave to clear anyway." I think she also wanted to do, she already think of the show she wants to act and everything. So I told her to tell Susan ok and let us know the time and place. All was well, and we practiced and everything these two days. This afternoon I repacked my wigs and buns box, took out stuff that I wanna use. We ironed the costumes etc. Later we went for dinner (very nice dinner by the way, yum), and then we come back, my mum took out the small suitcase to put in costumes and shoes etc. She also took out the make up kit and left it on a bench, so that she don't have to bring it out tomorrow. Suddenly I remember about the music. Must always confirm if the place can use USB or not. This ...

 It's a trend now to do live streaming and I am really glad that we get to do some of it.  2 weeks ago we did the recording for this performance and it was streamed last week. Sometimes I don't really want to watch myself because I just see so many errors and I think I look ugly. This time I watched it, on my big TV some more because we were targeting to have more viewers. I think we did not bad though. HAHA. This post is gonna review the show, mostly about myself. I often comment my fellow classmates that I think they are sick of me commenting. And maybe they will think I always comment them but never comment myself. But sometimes I can't help it because I feel like it can be better and I think it is better to know what is wrong with the performance than not knowing at all.  Anyway I am just going to comment on myself. I will comment the others privately 😁. Maybe I will comment May Teng openly, LOL~ First of all, this hand position I noticed it when I was watching the s...

Feeling abit unmotivated these days, so I looked back at some old videos to get some motivation and came across this video which had a story. 我的黑料锦集。 Now that I think about it, this is actually a good memory for me though at that time I didn't think so.  At that time I was learning 5 scenes from Liang Zhu with Susan and I think I was between jobs so I was able to spend a lot of time there. We practiced very often to learn these 5 scenes quickly since our teacher won't be in Singapore for too long. Because 哭坟 is a solo scene, we didn't really practice it since Susan is there and it is better that we practice those scenes with both of us. Teacher said that a video will be recorded as a result for our hard work and he wants it like a fruit of our labour. I am totally ok with it but then I said I didn't learn crying the tomb so maybe we don't record that.  Unfortunately, my teacher said 一定要拍！没学过也要拍！不好也要拍!!! LMAOOOO like seriously??? 😓😓😓 Then I said, "OK.... but ...

I read an old post of mine talking about the various dans in huadan department and giving them nicknames... and i realize that those nicknames are no longer relevant. So here i am giving the huadan department new names. Miss Streety Dan May Teng used to be Speedy Dan cuz she likes to be speedy. Anything also must be speedy. She will be very buey tahan if things move too slowly. Everything also must be quick.. quick to fold clothes, quick to remove make up, quick to pack up and go home. Yeap. But Miss speedy has found a new name that fits her better and that will be Streety Dan.  May has been streety from the first day, her dream is to be a street dan one day, so she can wear all her dua ban exaggerated costumes. Also, all she does at home is watching street opera on youtube. She also carries the streety vibes in her performance but that's ok cuz it's a personal style. One day, May Teng, you will realize your dream and be the Streety Dan you have always wanted to...
