My friends

Last few days, Richard asked me to find some friends to come to watch our show and help him to film video. So I asked several people. I do have sincere friends who are willing to come but they have got to work, so might not be able to come. The rest... did not reply me.

I got quite alot of friends, from Poly, attachment, work, schools.... but when I need to find someone to do such a simple thing for 2 hours on a Saturday evening, nobody can help. They give lame excuses like "please don't ask me" or "please let me off".

At least find a better excuse ok.

I told Richard that I can't find anyone. He ridiculed me and said that I don't have any friends. My father says that he can count my friends with one hand. He said everyone else at least invited 2 or 3 friends, a newcomer invited 7 friends but me, as a lead actress, did not manage to find one friend to come.

Haiz.. Sometimes I think, friends are just for entertainment purposes.

ppl tend to look from their own point of view only.
eg. my friends asked me to go church. i reject without thinking. its not my cup of tea and i dont wish to join such thing.
come on lor. i got my own religion and thinking. y should i join u.

but in their view, they wish u to join them.

same lor.

if u ask me to go pubbing, i rather stay home and watch opera.

Its just sad that sometimes they dont c it as a form of entertainment for this case.

the newcomer could had invited her whole family come to watch, thus got 7. not friends coming. as such, dont b sad.
ask uncle lim to come lah

hahah.. its like that one lah. For our march show, we are also asked to bring friends to support.. but my opera friends are unlikely to come, as they have practices; while my non-opera friends prefer to stay home with families.. So haiz.. bo bian.. xj

i seldom ask my friends to c my shows not even my parents. Some really go to extent to ask their whole family and relatives to support. It just not me to ask. I always keep a low profile. ^^
friends may not share the same passion as you n that y I never bother to ask them to watch my opera shows.
Sigh...sometimes due to box-office or other related reasons, troupe worrying over ticket sales is normal. I hope that more and more people would appreciate chinese opera... now our opera network has slowly increased...I think it does take some time....sometimes...it really takes such a long time..sigh...

I don't need all the 111 friends in my friendster list to come support me. I just want ONE friend to help me out but even this is difficult.

Me too hope that our network can get bigger and we can reach out to more Chinese opera lovers.

XJ: I will go see your show on 25 Mar with CS and Kongming.
