Me, Myself & Opera

I think I am supposed to blog about the past 2 days show but I have not organised the photos yet so I think I will blog them another day. We had so much fun and nonsense that day it was quite unusual. LOL, even Ang joined in our craziness. Ok, that aside, I am going to talk about hair pcs. LOL, yah again! I don't know since when I become the hair pcs middle-woman but here I am passing orders and helping people to buy hair pcs. The hair pcs maker can make customized hair pcs too~ I have tried a few times to custom make my hair pieces with the materials I like. So now, I got many sets of hair pcs with sui zi! I am so crazy. LOL. Anyway, if you wanna buy hair pcs or guans, custom make or not, can inform me by this week K? Cuz I am going holiday on 5 July... LOL. You can give me photos of the hair pcs or guans u want to make too. I will pass it to my maker and ask him to quote u. Yay~

Tomorrow, I am going to act as Evil Concubine, Ke Fei. I have memorised everything but I am afraid I might forget something tomorrow because Ke Fei's words are repetitive. I hate repetitive lines because you will tend to get mixed up. You may come to see the show on Sunday, 3pm and 8pm, but I will not be acting any prominent roles on those 2 shows. I will be doing soldier at the afternoon show and princess for 1 scene at the night show. The princess role, as I said before, is a vase role. No lines, no songs. Just need to doll up and look pretty that's all. Hahaha... If you wanna see tomorrow's show, then unfortunately, it's for invited guests only. Therefore, I don't think my friends will get to see me do Ke fei. It's a pity because I would like to know how I did for an evil concubine. I seldom do evil roles so it will be good if someone can be there and comment on how I did. Though I have done evil roles before, I am still not good at it. Like I said, I have go...

I specially ordered this set of hair pieces because I want a set which combined all my favourite colours and materials. So, I asked the maker to use gold, pink, ribbons and sui zi. All are my favourites. The result was a set of astoundingly beautiful hair pieces! My latest darling... I asked my mum to hold the back part for me but I think it doesn't look good like this so I put the wig on my head instead.. My mum is a very bad photographer. She did not arrange the hair pieces nicely before taking the below photo. So it looked a bit messed up. Still, you can see it's very sweet right?? Awww.. How sweet... pink! Take a closer look at it... My mum's shaky hands.... This set arrived today but my mum didn't tell me till I got into my room. She hid it behind her back and asked me to guess what has arrived. Immediately I know is my hair pieces lah. I have been waiting for it leh! Is it nice? I can't wait to use it for the next show! woot!

Hi all, on 13 June, a beautiful night, we acted Xue Ding Shan & Fan Li Hua again. This time its an 'all students' performance. That's right, our main pilar, Ang, didn't act that day. She will be WATCHING us act and scrutinizing every single thing we do on stage. That is very stress lor, even more stress than acting with her on stage. Then again, there is a good part too. She can help out with everything from make up, hair styling, music, mic control, costumes... Name it. She can handle anything. First of all, she helped my mum to stick the moustache. Hahaha.. Cute right? I think my mum look very very different with that moustache on her face! And then, another exciting thing is the return of May Teng. She finally plucked up courage and decided against ALL odds to act with us. She should! Because we are her loyal friends, because we were there when she was down, because we will always be here to support her. Therefore, she cannot foresake us no matter what. You hear ...

Fan li hua, this role which May Teng has been wishing to do but she gave up liao. Yday, I did an excerpt of this show at the marriage scene, the part where Xue Ding Shan tried to kill FLH. The whole show was only 30 minutes. Good enough cuz we didn't have much time and I got lots of things to learn lately. Miss Tan got promoted. She is now Miss Tan Kim Deng. Look at her wig, it's new and it's the first time she is using it. It's nice to have a beautiful wig. lol... It wasn't easy for her. She practiced very hard on this role though she only made a short appearance. I think overall she still did quite well. Miss Doh Xian Tong. I think qy looked good. Her make up improve and with her nice new wig, she looks much better and younger. Me, my wedding day~ Never give me ang bao ah!!! My mother as the Tia bek gong. Lol, she looks so funny wth the funny moustache. Ang has forgotten to bring the beard so apparently she has to draw on thos fake moustache. My mum is a kan ch...

Recently we have many performance notices. So many that we don't really have enough time to prepare. COI want us to act 'Han Dan Ji' on Mid Autumn Festival which I think will be a disaster. A show like han dan ji will never appeal to the gzx audience. Especially when the script is in a mess, the audience won't know what we are acting about. Basically, you will only see many people running in and out of the stage but have no idea what the story is about. That aside, we are also acting ramayana again soon. Yesterday, I went for the rehearsal and surprisingly Miss Tan was there. She is not acting in Ramayana so I have no idea why she is there. Apparently, she thought that we are going to rehearse another show. LOL, she said she was kana tricked to come. Ang started off teaching my mum how to be a eunuch. The usual steps of walk out, turn around, walk 3 steps and stand one side. Miss Tan at this point suddenly shout,"Teacher, I never do tai jian before leh!" All e...

I can hear you groaning," Not again.....!" Yes but it's again. Again we are going to do Ramayana but this time, each opera type will be acting one scene in Ramayana. The GZX team was assigned to act in the second scene. The scene where the princess is a mega vase. No lines, no songs. Nothing. I thought that it's good. Then I can just doll up and stand there, be a vase. In the end, Ang ask me to learn the role of the evil concubine, Ke Fei. My second baddie role. So now, I will be acting one day as a vase princess and one day as Ke Fei. Ah May has been wanting to do this role for a long long time but too bad, I will fulfil her dream for her. Fortunately, I have learnt some tips about doing baddie from the Gao Wen Ju show. It proved useful during our first rehearsal last week. Ang didn't kp much. Thank god. I am rather excited about this role now because it's a change. For once I am not a damsel in distress. Lol. And some of Ang's fans are actually looking f...
