也不知為何，放了許久的片子，突然想拿出來看看。當時的阿邁好年輕好有魄力。對劇團對戲曲好有熱忱。
紀錄片里我被稱為e時代的女生，十多年前推動了劇團建立網頁，後來將網頁的設計工作交於旭文。雖自己在網頁方面深感興趣但覺得由旭文來做會更為理想，畢竟這是旭文的傳長之一。
光陰似箭，到如今已過了十多載，進入臉書時代，我們再次協手建立和維持劇團的臉書，真的不容易。
這幾年來，人事已變遷。我們或許走的路和以往有別，但大家對自己喜歡的戲曲還是存有那一份深厚的感情在。
我珍惜這一份薌緣。這份薌情是刻骨銘心的！

梨園悲喜情
還記得當時和戲曲有關的紀錄片嗎？
也不知為何，放了許久的片子，突然想拿出來看看。當時的阿邁好年輕好有魄力。對劇團對戲曲好有熱忱。

I Joined the Mac Family
I finally bought my very first imac!
21" impressive desktop!
I am still very new to imac, still struggling to get used to its functions.
Have been a Window user for so long however my PC keeps dying on me and I really get sick of sending it for repairs.
I gonna send my PC Desktop for repair tomorrow. Of course I won't give up on my old desktop. It is still very dear to me.
As for my imac, I really hurled quite a bit of coco on it and I must ensure that I get adjusted and USE it!
Everything about imac is so so excitingly impressive.
One stupid thing that I did to my imac was I deleted the imovie by mistake. In addition, I even empty the trash...
Hopefully I get my imovie back.....
My colleagues got so excited when they knew I bought an imac and they even congratulated me in joining the Mac Family.
They told me that once I get used to Mac, I surely won't return to Windows...
Wow, really?
Time shall find out.
Next time shall show you pictures of my imac...;)

Imperial Bloodshed
Am doing the role of the princess once again. So that means I have to slim down for this role again.
I had the first practice last Saturday. We just went through the lyrics and the songs. Gosh I have forgotten almost all and I sounded so "xiaosheng". I really sounded odd and weird , the feel is also strange. I think I need time to get adjust to the princess.
After that, we watched a Yueju opera, the same show that we are going to stage next year. The Yueju is performed by Ningbo Yueju Troupe. The director has made some changes and Madame Dong did not appear in scene one unlike the older versions.
However the changes are reasonable. I like the part that Dong Wen Zhong carried the Princess down the mountain. The actions are great.
Hope that we can watch the 2nd VCD next time. ;)

步步驚心
Recently am watching this show and I find it quite a nice drama.
Ruoxi travelled into the past in Qing Dynasty after she met an accident. Knowing the history of Qing Dynasty, she was very careful dealing with the Fourth Prince as she knew that he would eventually succeed the throne. She fell in love with the Eighth Prince but did not end up with him as the latter refused to give up fighting for the throne.
Ruoxi knew very well that history couldn't be changed and there was no way to reverse the facts. At the most, she could only hint to the Eighth Prince to beware of certain people.
I have not watched the last few episodes and I wonder whether Ruoxi would travel back to current 2011.

Long Time No Write
Need to cut the grass here once a while ;
Dug out my old "Bloody Palace" script, realised that I do not have the latest version. Have kept the current one since N years ago.
This show is adapted from Shanghai Yueju. Songs composed by Huang Lin and revamped by ZL.
This show debuted in 1997 - 1998, it was performed in Victoria Theatre.
The latest performance was about two years back in one of the CCs, SG.
I am kind of excited to participate in this show.
I need alot of preparations for this show and I have to start early especially in fitting into the dan costumes.
I shall take it as a challenge.
Kanbante Amai!

Old Pictures Mixed Feelings
Was browsing through some old pictures in a thumbdrive.
Saw some familiar faces and they are the ones who used to claim that they were my friends but yet they chose to hurt me in one way or another.
I am calmer now. Though I do feel tinges of sadness, hurt and anger.
Especially to the one who kept saying she was my friend......
No longer shall I value her that much in my heart.
The more weightage you add, the more hurt you suffer.
Time will fade everything.
Maybe one day I will be looking at a total stranger whom no longer affect me an inch.
Life still continue, I have a life to lead.
A more fruitful and happier life to lead should be the way.
Add Oil , Amai, 加油！

Scholl Shoes
I used to think Scholl shoes are "auntie" shoes.
My mum loves this brand.
The designs are very "auntie-like" however recently I bought my 2nd pair of Scholl shoes. This time is high heels.
My work requires me to stand most of the time and I have not been wearing high heels donkey years already. Many shoes that I wore were easily worn out and most of them were not comfortable enough.
I bought my very first pair of shoes about a month ago. I totally love it now because the shoes are really comfy. I also realised that the designs are getting more and more fashionable too.
Last week I got myself a pair of black heels and I have been wearing for two days and I am quite satisfied with them.
Now I rather buy comfy shoes and pay a little bit more than to get cheap, fashionable but hurting shoes instead.
I love Scholl!

Hospitals & Stubborn Dad
This is the 3rd week in a row that I have been in and out of hospitals.
Mum went for a total knee replacement surgery at SGH. Before the operation, she was under great pressure and stress. That led to quick and hot tempers, unreasonable queries and unnecessary worries on her part.
I went down every single day, be it rain or shine.
I was the only one to bring her home but I managed to bring her home safe and sound.
During weekends, I had to go for rehearsal and performance. Then I fell sick for the next two days...:(
Sucks right!!!
I took leave to accompany my dad to the hospital for his eye surgery.
He insisted , the night before, that he would begin his work after his operation.
My mum was flabbergasted and they had a row.
I tried to be a peacemaker and of course I got a earful from the both of them.
Now my house has three patients and I am still recovering from my gastric and sinus.
A worrying and "think-too-much" Mum, a stubborn Dad and a "sigh-n-shake-head" Me.

Wu Fenghua Vs Yang Weiwen
Just my personal opinions. :)
I have watched both actresses' Butterfly Lovers and perhaps I would like to comment my two cents' worth.
Wu Fenghua is an all rounder in terms of singing and movements. She is the "mannest" Yueju xiaosheng so far. (Fan Style xiaosheng, Xu Min, is also quite "man" except she lacks the x factor unlike Wu.)
Yang Weiwen is from Ningbo Yueju Troupe. She is the prettiest xiaosheng in the troupe. She has a very good singing voice. I like her baddie roles and I find it quite enchanting. However one thing I do not understand why she remains as a 2nd grade sheng all these years. With her talent and good looks, she could have been a 1st grade actress instead.
I hope she gets her 1st grade soon. I think she deserves it!

Amai Goes Bank Shopping
Thanks to my brother who recommended me this bank for its high saving interest.
So I went to the bank in Orchard last week.
It is a conducive place and its staff are very friendly and the service is really good!
So I got myself familiarise with its procedure and opened myself a saving account!
About a year or so, I began to realise the importance of saving after a lesson taught.
I used to think that I couldn't save money due to commitments as I need to pay for the house, my car, my parents and other living expenses. I would be left with minimal amount of money for my monthly expenses. So I never really gave it a thought to save for rainy days.
Till one day I need money for urgent matters and realised that I have no one and nowhere to turn too. Of course there were many other nasty incidents which follow suit.
Along the way, I tumbled and fell. I came across friends who are kind towards me and gave me really good advice and support. I also came across some who are not as helpful and trustworthy. However this is part and parcel of life. Based on such incidents, I am grateful to know who are my true friends and who are not.
It also woke me up and I make it a point to start saving for rainy days, irregardless how small the amount may be.
A friend suggested that I should try to save $50 a month. Though it was little, it was still an effort to save.
I took the advice seriously and I must tell you from my experience, you can do it if you want and really try!
Cut down on other expenses such as entertainment. Things that you want but don't really need them should cut down. Go for offers, ask for the price and compare them and then make the decision to get the most worthwhile price.
Once you get your pay, put aside certain amount of money in another bank. Be discipline and don't touch that money unless you have spare cash.
Don't invest first, save up capital if you really want to invest in future. Go for the basic needs and think what you really want.
I have friends who are mighty savers and I ask them for saving tips.
I share with them the bank that my brother recommended me.
I feel good because I feel that I have done a good deed...(Sound like a primary kid's way of ending a composition,lol)
Better start late than never. It is never too late to start saving. ;)

My Iphone Is Not Working
My Iphone somehow got electrocuted and no matter how I tried to revive it, it stayed "motionless".
Am not able to send it for repairs because I am still sick and voiceless.
I should rest enough in order to be well again.
Now I will be cooped in my little room till I am well enough to work.
Iphone is still the best phone that I ever have.
I will still stick to Iphone. ;P
So when is Iphone 5 releasing?
Back to rest!

這場戯到底什麽時候收場啊？
最近謠言滿天飛，到底是哪家的有意無意地在“宣傳”,存舍心呀？
只是個單純的烤肉會罷了，怎麽會變成了團體開會呢？
簡直搖頭ing~~~
我的學戯生涯如何走，只有我自己決定。沒有人可以左右我。 你又不是我肚子裏的蛔蟲，怎知我心意呢？
再説，不管發生什麽事情，誰對誰錯。不會影響朋友之間的交情。
劇團和劇團可以不往來，並不代表朋友不能抽空出來見面聊天喝茶。
各自發展無傷大雅，互相惡意傷害絕對不能鼓勵！
何必把事情複雜化呢？
簡單過人生不是很好嗎？
一般無聊沒有根據的謠言，一笑置之，不去理會它就好了。
若是謠言形成了傷害人的工具，就很不應該！
冤冤相報何時了，地球是圓的，圈子是小的，縂有一天還是會碰面的。。。
畢竟曾是同根生，相煎何太急？
就算您要煎到對方你死我活，那麽就來個君子之戰吧！
所謂冤有頭，債有主， 何必牽涉到那些無辜的人呢？

Amai Wii
I am not really a game person but I do enjoy playing Wii games.
It is indeed nice to play Wii games with friends. :P
Sometimes, by looking at how your friend play can be very entertaining.
One more recreational activity to add to my opera and swimming activities.
I rather spend my time in doing all these interesting leisure activities than to let myself hit by some stupid crappy rumors.
Looking forward to getting new Wii games, in a rational way, of course! ;P

An Absurd But Hilarious Rumor
A little birdie told me this rumor.
The Rumor:
Amai is close to other troupes so as to maintain more openings for herself.
The Truth:
I have friends whom are in other troupes, not only locally but also from other countries. Since Day 1, I have been making friends from other opera troupes. Over the years, I have known many friends worldwide who love opera as much as I do. We exchange opera info, opera materials and share excited feelings of watching some of our common idols' performances.
I shared this rumor with a friend. She said that whoever initiated this rumor doesn't understand me at all. I have always been very passionate and warm towards opera and always keen to share it with friends, any opera-related stuff.
Furthermore, with the performance experience and the skills that I have gathered and learnt over the years is sufficient to get me into any amatuer troupes if I want to.
Do I have to go around befriending people just to make sure that I have more openings just in case I leave my present one?
This is absurd but at the same time so hilarious.
Whoever mean enough to spread this rumor is trying to take me down or just has nothing better to do. I am not affected by it at all.
However I wish to justify for my opera friends.
They would love to have me joined them, in their hearts.
They know my situation and my troupe's rules. They respect my decision and they never try to force me to join their troupes.
Whoever spread this rumor is mean. It is alright with me that you do not understand me enough BECAUSE there is no need for you to understand me as I am not interested to waste my time in this matter.
我不需要你来了解我，原因很简单，因为我也不想花时间来了解你。
Of course this isn't the only rumor that I know of. They are not "worthy" to be blogged about. (LOL)
Just like for some, they are not worthy to spend a single minute of your time on them!

Spend Within Your Means
I am in awe to learn how much my brother has saved.
He is a fixed income earner and yet he can save more than 100K.
This is quite unbelievable!
Had a small talk with him and I really opened my eyes wide in astonishment.
He doesn't drink or smoke. He doesn't spur on food.
He finds out information on which bank has the highest interest rate, he deals with blue chips, bonds and stocks...
He eats and works at the same time and he is very healthy.
His hobbies are making money and upgrading his car. He just bought a mercedes recently.
He said that he could save up even more if he didn't spend on holiday tours and branded bags for his wife. (eyes popping)
I put across this question to him.
"You are a fixed income earner and it is really amazing to know that you save so much every month."
No doubt he earns half as much as a Financial manager(based on someone whom I know) , he is the highest paid member in my family, still I don't understand how he could still save up so much.
Of course he won't tell me too much and he isn't obliged to anyway.
Oh yes, his bonuses which he claimed are FAT... cos he is a high flyer.
I won't be like him and can't be like him as there are so many differences in other areas.
I have to be realistic and set attainable goals.
Every individual is different and we set our priorities differently.
The book says [Save up 10% of your salary].
The bank consultant says [Save up 20% of your salary].
Whatsoever, the most important thing is "Spend within your means".
He is a fixed income earner and yet he can save more than 100K.

"You are a fixed income earner and it is really amazing to know that you save so much every month."
No doubt he earns half as much as a Financial manager(based on someone whom I know) , he is the highest paid member in my family, still I don't understand how he could still save up so much.
Of course he won't tell me too much and he isn't obliged to anyway.
Oh yes, his bonuses which he claimed are FAT... cos he is a high flyer.
I won't be like him and can't be like him as there are so many differences in other areas.
I have to be realistic and set attainable goals.
Every individual is different and we set our priorities differently.
The book says [Save up 10% of your salary].
The bank consultant says [Save up 20% of your salary].
Whatsoever, the most important thing is "Spend within your means".
