I don't really have any proper taken with HXY but an auntie gave me the 2 above photos. I think they are quite nice so I asked MD to scan for me... :D Dun like that la... eng siu me can or not...

Wang Xi Feng - The most scheming woman in Hong Lou Meng. This is the name of the pictures of a show I found online. I dunno whether it is Pekin or YuJu cuz this troupe is divided into 2 troupes, one doing pekin one doing Yuju. This troupe is from Taiwan but their photos are really really nice~!! So pretty!!!! Look at her scheming look!!! These 2 are from other shows... but quite nice lor ..:

I remember that Amai once blogged about hiao dans. She can't stand hiao dans. I just bought a VCD, Zhan Wan Cheng, especially to watch this fa sao dan. She or he (I think he is a male dan) is so sao that I was quite surprised. Her kind of sao is call 'men sao'. The story was actually about war stuff. This woman... he hubby went out to war but did not return for 3 years. So she felt very lonely and sad. The scene featured was her acting all 'men sao'. I think she did a great job and her movements really show that she is very sao. Some more.. I think this dan is a man. (Yah i know he not very pretty la) Hee hee... is this considered as Amai's hiao dan???

MAY, this is for you~ hahahah... you know what I mean. See the clip below~ Actually I got the full show of this part called Tian Nv San Hua, but I lent it to SOMEONE and that SOMEONE never watch and never return me lor. I hope she dont lose it. The full show got more nicer movements and tricks. I got learn a few tips there but too bad the VCD is not with me now. So I am using this one from a variety show.

Charity show on 22 May, almost forgot to blog about it. That day I woke up at 9:30am. Didn't have much time to eat breakfast and watch tv, had to start doing make up liao as the show is 12pm, we supposed to arrive 11.45am. The other arrived at around 10am at my home and we all started making up. Susan requested to see Zhang Rui Hong's Liang zhu so I on it to show everyone while they do their make up. Susan like zhang rui hong alot. Very unlucky. it started to rain when we were about to leave home. See, taken in Susan's car. It's raining pigs and chicken. We managed with great difficulties to travel to the backstage. I didnt want to wet my shoes and costumes so I hugged them while walking to find the backstage. The damn rain didnt stop. Very unlucky, during the first song of Qiu yue and DLQ, the DJ kok up. He kpoly go and press next on the vcd player. The CD was made to just play continuously, no need to press next one. Then the kpo dj go press next, messed up the whol...

I think u all must find me very boliao right, cuz I always blog some very boliao and silly things. I am just trying to entertain u guys mah~ Hai yo.. Tao yan. Today, May made a special request asking me to blog more cuz i will be on leave tomolo and no one will chat with her~ oops.. i dont always chat in office one hor! Lucky none of my colleagues got my blog address.. Hengz. So I am going to write some nonsensical stuff just to entertain May while she works. i don't know since when I become so nonsensical leh, I used to be so demure, delicate and quiet little girl. Since when I become so 3 8? I think ever since I learnt opera, I got to know some siao kias and they somehow drove me crazy, brainwashed me... Especially that Richard lor! The head of all siao kias. Ang must have a big headache bring this bunch of siao kias around. Remember I said before that for the Indonesia trip we are going to perform 5 shows? I very scared leh, I scared that I cannot act well then ppl throw eggs at...

Plucking flowers, zhai hua, is a traditional show of Liyuan opera. It is actually an excerpt of "Dong Yong", in huang mei xi named "Qi xian Nv". The huang mei version of this show is very famous and I think all of you should have heard of it before. However, in the liyuan version, it is different. In huangmei, the qi xian nv will try to block the path of dong yong when dong yong was on his way to work as a slave. In the liyuan version, dongyong was already working as a gardener and qi xian nv went into his garden to see him. In the garden, she plucked many flowers and made Dong yong very angry.

Dong yong was amazed and asked her how she do it. Qi xian nv said that the secret method can be only passed to family members. Dong yong blur blur didnt know what she meant. Finally, qi xian nv told him that h...
