First Full-length Opera Performance In 1992

This was our very first full-length Hokkien opera that we staged in 1992 at Victoria Theatre. We were then a very young troupe starting out from scratch and it was indeed heartwarming to see this show staged. 

Many of us come and go all these years. The then Hokkien Konghuay Opera Troupe became the current Sim Siew Tin Hokkien Opera Troupe. What has not left us is our Passion and Determination to promote Hokkien opera.

A few of us, the ones who participated in the above performance were reminiscing about this show - 'The Tragedy Of the Zither and the Sword". 

- It was our very First Full-length Opera staged

- We love the OS. (background singing)

- We really spent alot of time and effort rehearsing and practising.

- The director was fierce and demanding. (I guess he was quite stressed up as we were a bunch of very new performers with limited opera knowledge and skills.)

After so many years, watching the video clip really brings back so many wonderful memories!

If there is an opportunity, it would be nice to restage this show again!

Honey Lab Sleeping Pack

Currently using this Honey Lab Sleeping Pack as my sleeping mask. It claims that it would seal the essence on your skin at night to soak the moisture and promote firm skin. Not only that, it would remove dead skin cells and brighten up your skin.

It is quite costly though, priced at $76 for a small bottle of 50ml.

Started for almost a week. Spot any difference if you see me. :p

Was looking at its products when I overheard a group of aunties praising this product. They used a mixture of maNara , mediplus n honey lab. This sleeping pack is highly recommended by them n they especially introduced mediplus. The best thing is these 3 brands' pop-up stores were situated side by side.

Eventually I bought the maNara hot cleansing gel and Honey Lab Sleeping Pack. Skipped the mediplus...(very X)

Anyone interested in getting any of these products, the pop-up stores are in basement of Takashimaya. They are having GSS up to tomorrow.

Only used for a week, of course to see the effect, it takes time. One thing for sure, the products make my face clean n bright.

Again... I am not a very good model as I receive feedback like ;
-hey, Amai ... Your skin complexion is not bad...so the difference is not great.

Hmm... Well if u are the lazy sort, these products fit you well cos they are the 1 step to skincare type.

Personally I feel that when it comes to skincare, I do not believe in short cut skincare steps and super fast results. I still keep up to my skincare routine and it does take time to see good results.. At least to me, it is safer to see good results after a period of time.

Again, no woman is considered ugly except being lazy.

Keep your complexion good, you will be good. Any makeup will then help to improve your outlook. I do not makeup only once a while for dinner events or occasionally heavy opera makeup for performances... I prefer 素顏. So much lighter and "freer".

I use a range of products from TST, Naruko, Gulsha, Faceshop, Perliere, 自白肌，Laneige,MKUP, Eucerin, Avene and Belif.

More regular using TST, Perliere and Naruko. Next time will share on the step n brands that I use for my normal skincare routine.

Blog Again

Stumbled upon my old blog's posts. My many interesting posts were so passionate n yet so "outspoken".
These posts recalled back many of my memories, be it,  good or bad.
These posts are so ME!
I shared my sentiments with MK and we kind of miss those days when we blogged and read others' blogs.
CL told us she used to read our blogs and she found interesting to read our happiness and woes. We did not even know CL then.
So my very first blog after MIA for years.

Old Picture 1

As one of the administrator of KH's FB Fanpage "這些年，我們一起學薌劇”, I started to look out for old pictures. The old pictures really brought back wonderful memories.

The picture above was a scene taken from “三鳳求凰”， it is one of my most favorite shows so far. It is also one of my leading shows.

I like the storyline and the character that I played. XW's character is also very cute too. I can't remember  the last time that we acted together on stage. XW is now pretty busy with his job and he hardly has the time to even drop by KH.

This "Brother Cai" role has been taken up by other actresses since then. However I still prefer XW to act this role. Perhaps we had acted together for quite some time compared to the rest.

Thanks to ML who took this pic and indeed it brings back wonderful memories!

Overspent

I went to Taiwan last month for a week. Meeting up friends, watching Tang Meiyun's TW opera and eating Taiwan's yummy snacks in night markets. It was fun though and I get to meet my Taiwan Opera Idol, Ah Kun.

Ah Kun became slimmer and I bet she didn't have enough sleep. She is such a busy person with a very tight schedule. But she made it to my gathering. (^_^)

I overspent I think...I didn't really buy lots of clothes but as usual I bought opera DVDS.

I had a very fun time in Taiwan!
