DO's Rehearsals and 扮仙
My mum called me yesterday to ask me if we're interested to join them in a performance at a temple in April. They're going to put up <<扮仙>>. My GF asked me to act 麻姑 and my mum suggested YZ to be 魁星 cum 状元.
I believe it's going to be very fun and I'm really excited about it. YZ and I will be going for the performance...haha...It is YZ's first time. I hope she will enjoy this experience :D
Well, performance means time is needed for rehearsals. We need to squeeze out some time for this show. Furthermore, DO is having a performance season from April to June. Therefore, time management is very important in this peak period. Every week is sooooo busy and packed with work and opera practices. Just like yesterday, YZ and I went for a meeting with the manager of GE Home early in the morning. Then, we spent the whole afternoon and night practising LS and SBXS (Part of it cos no time...).

芗剧-送凤冠
It's soooooo difficult to rip and upload video up to the net...well, I finally did it...that's the best i can do :)
This show was put up more than 1 year ago...I really enjoyed acting on the stage with the marvellous music co-played by the musicians from Zhang Zhou Xiangju Troupe. I simply love this experience :D

Xmas Party 2009
ZY invited me to the Xmas party at Marina Pier last year. That evening was unforgettable as I was lost in CBD for more than an hour...I went round and round and could not find the route to Marina Pier...haha...However, I had fun at the party...
Fan Dance
As we were asked to perform for the kids on Children's Day 2009, my colleagues and I put up a dance item.

Back in Singapore
Yes! I finally have the time to post something up here.
I was back from Japan last week. I had sooooo many tasks to clear before I could really sit down to surf the internet... Work is awaiting for me...deadline's tomorrow :(
I enjoyed a lot in Fukuoka (Hakata) and those cities I went. The weather was pretty good and temperature was just nice. However, I felt that it was a little too dry for me so my nose and lips bled very often.
Things there are also very expensive....
I took many pictures and would post up on some other days...too lazy...

DO Performance on 7 Nov 2009
DO was invited to put up a performance again today. It was in the afternoon so we started our preparation very early.
I think I was pretty stressed as I was unwell for the past 2 weeks. I was afraid that I could not sing at all. Luckily, everything turned out to be fine. The performance was a success! The elderly enjoyed and hoped that we could go back to perform again...
SF and YY came to help today. The performance could not make it without them. Thank you, buddies!
SF is good with hair...haha
my stressed look
A and I were so focused on my hat.
We din even realise when this photo was taken...Haha...
Finally, we went back to our make-up room and took some pictures...
YY and SF are so fun loving. I really enjoyed their accompany. Most importantly, they came all the way to help and tried their best to assist in the preparation. The three of them seemed to be having a great time today.

After the performance, we went around to shake hands with the old folks as usual...We're really happy that they appreciate our efforts...I have never seen A's happy face for a long long time. I'm glad that she's happy with what she's doing now. You have our fullest support, leader! Btw, Leader, thanks for giving me a chance to be your Yingtai. Hahaha...
Finally, we went back to our make-up room and took some pictures...
Time for some fun shots!
Serious business...

Vacation
Yuppie! I've finally booked the flight. I think I better get a translation dictionary just in case I need to speak in Japanese. Amai told me to wear more thick clothes as it is going to be very cold in Japan. Thanks for your advice! Wondering if I will see any Koju's pictures or posters?hmm...

The next step
A and I look forward to the next opportunity in Nov. I would say that we have been very lucky to have met people who appreciate our efforts. Moreover, my buddies are always there to support me whenever I need help. Without them, the show cannot go on. Thanks buddies in advance for your help!
I enjoyed the previous performance. Hopefully, the next one will be better. I have confidence in my stage partner and myself for we've put in lots of time and efforts. A friend told me that exposure was good and experience could be gained. Another told me that she wished to see me on stage again. I will not disappoint her. I will grab any chance of upgrading myself :) I think I have been doing this all these while...

Performance on 10 Oct
I also so busy that day so I only took 1 picture with my buddy... really appreciate her help... She was so nice to go all the way to the east to support me. With her encouragement, I did not let her down that evening :)
That was the first time I dressed up as a xiaosheng. I felt a little uncomfortable at first but I managed to convince myself to get used to it. Although there were many hiccups that evening, the performance was a success. It gave me more confidence and motivation to move on...
I met an old friend that day. She mentioned about that issue. I was at a loss for words. Maybe it's a norm in this field. In the end, she gave me her blessings...Thank you, old friend!

DO's debut performance
It was an exciting day for me and my partner...I got up very early to get prepared for the performance. I hoped everything would be fine that evening.
SF came to help that day. It was very nice of her. She would also want to help on the next performance. We were having lots of fun in the room where we did our make-up. SF was very spontaneous and friendly. Both of them (SF & A) got along pretty well.
The audience's response was good and I was glad that we had made the elderly happy...shall upload pictures soon...

EL's wedding
I went to the wedding banquet of EL and YL last month...saw many friends from sec school... I thought it was a good gathering session. We chatted a lot and talked about our lives...It was not crowded at Suntec although there was F1 race going on...I didn't get to watch the race but the noise made by the cars was sort of unbearable to me...
HY took a few pictures and put them on facebook...

A stroll
I was soooooo busy at work since the beginning of this term... Two weeks ago, I finally had time for my girl...Brought her out for a long stroll at Telok Blangah Park...Think she enjoyed herself :) Too bad I din take any picture...
I feel very tired this week. Got to wake up early almost every day...sigh...
Hope that next week will be better...

Friendship
Recently, I have been meeting up with friends from pri sch, sec sch and nie...This always happens during june and dec holidays as I usually have more time during these periods....Thanks to my friends who are very understanding. They know I can only meet them during these two months...
I went to Wheellock Place for lunch with Da Jie & Er Jie... It had been a year since we met and we're still very chatty during our meal. Well, we had so much to share about what happened for the past year...
I went to Paragon for dinner with EL and HY... I thought I will receive a red card from EL (who is getting married soon...) but the cards are not ready...HY, I'll put up the photos at facebook...
I went to Raffles City for dinner with SF and YY. We had a long chat and then we went Boat Quay for a drink and 'sight-seeing' after that...hoping to see somebodies...but in the end, we ended up leaving that pub pretty early...will post up the pictures soon...
Even if we're busy, it's really great to meet up with friends once in a while to find out more about one another. In my opinion, good friends are not necessary to be with you physically all the time, need not be seeing you everyday and frequently, need not keep on reminding you that they're your good friends (Believe me, some pple really do that!) , need not keep on msging or call you, bla bla bla... As long as they understand and really support you, that's friendship.
I really have to thank my good friends who are always there for me during my hard times...only you all understand what I'm going through recently and support and encourage me always...
