PC Down

I am very sad cuz my PC is down. Actually it is not that down yet but KL brought it to see some specialist regarding it's stupid blinkin screen and now, it's still staying there for further observation. While my laptop is there, KL is supposed to let me use his laptop till I get mine back but I am a very unlucky person. The charger of his laptop burnt itself out one day and now, I am left with no computer! I find that it's very nerve wrecking to be living without a computer. The world will probably think that I am dead if I don't log on for some time.


I have no idea when I will be getting my laptop back. Haiz. And stupid repair is going to burn a hole in my pocket! DAMMIT.

In case you are wondering how I get to type out this blog, I am using my father's laptop while he is watching TV. Think he doesn't know that I am typing my blog while he is away. LOL.

SHIEEEET~~ I hope I will get my laptop back so my life can get back to normal.

After Show Dinner

Today, the 29 May 2010, we completed the show, Dream of Handan, at ChongPang CC. I am kinda tired now and feel like sleeping or reading a book till I fall asleep but I really wanna blog this while it's still fresh in my mind.

After our show, we were all loitering at the CC carpark, discussing where to eat supper while some nonsense students discuss irrelevant things like if my mum was purposely singing in a very rough 'shengish' voice.

Finally, someone kp that the CC carpark is going to close and we should faster leave. So we decided to go to Khatib coffee shop eat the steam boat. The same shop where me and may and some coi ppl always go eat after sunday's practice.

Arriving at the coffee shop, Bala, May. Zhuying they all already settled down onto one table and I saw that a kopi staff is approaching them. So I quickly dash to the table to order my drinks. I desperately need to drink after the show. I don't even have time to drink any water during show as I am always rushing around, changing costumes or what not.

In the end I was very disappointed to find out that it was not the kopi staff but the tsi tsar staff taking food orders. So then we decided on steamboat.

The second group of ppl containing our teacher, miss tan, MD, Lizuan, Mu mum, DLQ and Baohua they all arrived. They have to sit at a separate table because our table is full. We got Bala at our table mind you.

May suddenly say that we should go buy pork to add to the steamboat. We always add pork to the soup when we eat steamboat as NTUC is just beside. We will buy extra stuff like pork, dumplings or crabsticks to add to the steamboat. The staff there knows that we always add ingredients but they never say anything.

So this time, as usual we got some pork from NTUC. In the NTUC, the obasans (May and QY) selected the pork and hogged the washing area to wash the pork and defroze them. I though they just want to rinse the whole packet but they actually tore open the packaging and pour water into the packet. My god. PPL will think we are mad ok!!! I find it very hard to describe that situation. Next time I will take a photo of them.

After the pork issue, we settled at our table. Wait for the steamboat to come. We were totally so hungry leh. You cannot imagine how hungry we were. Then Susan was there. She got her own packet vegetarian food and she wanted to start eating. But we very bad, we dun let her eat until our food are ready. Else we will all be very jealous that susan can eat first.

When the soup came, the food came, I said,"EVERYTHING PIA INTO THE POT!"

Meaning, put all the food into the boiling soup in singlish. May, as usual, the very hungry one took the whole plate of seafood and pia everything into the pot. Bala, the white eye one (beh bak), put a chunk of pork into the pot. May kp that the pork will all stick together! Wasted the pork. To prevent bala from doing something foolish like that again, she put all the pork at the other side of the table.

Finally, after like 3 min waiting, we all dig into the pot. Our table has got like 10 ppl sitting there and there are only 5 prawns in the seafood set. So this ZY very quick eye, she spot a prawn floating around and reached out to kiap. But before she can securely kiap the prawn, the very beh bak (white eye) YH 'goh' the prawn over to her side.

*goh = tugging the prawn and stealing it.

ZY suddenly shouted,"Aey, my prawn, my prawn! I want the prawn!"

Then this YH say,"Aiyah one prawn only, you find another one la."

ZY,"I saw the prawn first leh, I want to kiap then you 'goh' the prawn over liao!"

YH,"Only one prawn nia, inside still got prawns."

ZY tried to 'goh' the prawn back but YH was more powerful at this. She got the prawn eventually.

ZY started kping about her prawn kana stolen, I saw that we actually only cooked 4 prawns and there is one more on the plate so I put that prawn in the soup and told zy I give her that prawn, She better watch over it, dun let other people 'goh' again.

We were making a lot of noise during the prawn incident cuz everyone was chipping in comments on who the prawn should belong to. I started counting the prawns in everyone's plates etc. The other table which contain the teacher looked over to see what the commotion was about then they laughed. I told ZY, the other table still got prawn. Ask her take our scoop, go over and 'goh' their prawns lor.

YH, who acted as emperor tonight, said nothing but I told ZY that YH pass down the imperial edict that the other table should pass over their prawns and pork.

ZY,"奉天乘允,皇帝诏曰please pass the prawn and pork over."

Apparently no one bothered to answer her and teacher said that the emperor is not counted now. Eating is more important.

I think we ate super fast. When we finished our pot of food, the other table just started eating only. We think that we didn't have enough to eat so KL asked if we want chicken wings. So we ordered like 10 chicken wings.

Here comes the second commotion of the day, the chicken wing incident.

When the chicken wings came, the other table were literally STARING at us. I mean literally lor. They then started a commotion that May Teng ordered chicken wings but never asked them. Though we sitting at different table, we are still under one troupe mah. May jump into the yellow river also cannot be cleaned. She said that she didn't think of it and anyway it was KL who ordered.

DLQ commented then May sacrifice lor. She giver DLQ part of her chicken wing.

The other table 不甘示弱 they also went to order chicken wings.

The pot is not enough one lor. It was enough when we got like 5 ppl eating but now, each table got like 10 ppl, how?

Happily they also got chicken wings so fair enough.

SKARLI, dunno where pop up, they also ordered satay!!!

Now it's our turn staring at the other table, saying how come they got satay. YH say we should order too but I think we were kinda full le so never mind la. Let the other table win lor. Yuan yuan xiang bao when will finish?

Skarli, our table the Bala no 骨气. He kept looking at the other table's satay, kana discovered by them! DLQ got a chicken wing from May just now so now she give a satay back to May. She happily eat half and then offered bala the other half so that he can stop looking at the other table longingly. Just when Bala about to put the satay in his mouth, YH shouted,"AEY BALA!"

Bala tot dunno what big thing happen must shout until like that. At this moment, ZY stretched out her hand and grab Bala's hand to prevent him from eating the satay. Bala quickly licked the satay so no one dares to eat it! Gross to the max can?!!

My god.

Miss Tan, who acted as empress today, came over and offer a stick of satay with SATAY SAUCE somemore to YH!!!

We were like... "HUANG HOU!!!!! SO GOOD AH!!!"

Treating the emperor so good leh, got satay sauce some more. No choice liao lah. Tonight emperor must got to empress's room, cannot go concubine's room liao.

End of the chicken wing incident.

Teacher told us that during the show, Susan wear the wrong headgear. She was wearing teacher's headgear and teacher needed it. She wanted to shout over to susan but she cannot because the mic is on and the audience will hear us. So she started playing charade with Susan to exchange head gears.

Then susan said she got no idea that she was wearing the wrong thing because some one told her that it was the right head gear and anyway all the headgears looked similar.

Aiyo, the sheng department very messy lor. We, the dans department, dun have this kind of messy things one. We all know very clearly which hair pcs set we are using and when we are using and when we need to change. Very organised one lor. My god.

I think ZY make a good sheng today. I told her that and then YH accused me that I am trying to push ZY to the sheng department so that the Dan department will not be so crowded. Ppl ZY herself like to act sheng mah, none of my biz right? Mad.

There was also a plan on how to make Susan NOT do dan because apparently many people cannot take it lah. I mean, it's like really weird lor. Even Michael who knows nothing about opera finds susan to be weird being a dan. So apparently it's not only me and it's not a biased comment. Susan say she looks like a tranny. Erm, we all agree to that and I think that to avoid future audience from getting sick during our show, we have to avoid making susan do dan. If not the audience thought how come we not enough dan have to get a tranny to stand in. This one not I say one ah. Susan herself say one so I am not trying to bad mouth her or what.

Peacefully, we finished dinner. But the real thing will come tomorrow when we go for class. ang will show her full strength and blow her top tomorrow after a good rest tonight. It's a standard procedure but never mind lah.

So many nonsense things can happen over dinner lor. I dunno why we got so many nonsense things to say.

My baobei

Over the months of living with Da Mung and Xiao Mung and scrump, I have took many interesting photos of them. Some taken by me and some taken by KL. Being the centre of attraction to my mum, she always try to do unfriendly things to my da, xiao mung and Scrump. Poor things! Always kana bullied.

One day when I came home from outside, I saw that my mum has put a fake hair bun on Scrump's head! I left the hair bun on the living room's table and she put it on Scrump's head. Since the thing is there already, I added some hair pieces to make Scrump pretty.

Is my ah Scrump pretty?

Another picture here was taken by KL. He did it while I was sleeping and meant to surprise me when I wake up.

Piling Mini scrump and a dog on Da mung's head. LOL I tot Da mung looked kinda cute here tho. KL always do funny things to my things when I am sleeping and this is not the only picture he took. He sometimes take pictures of me sleeping in funny positions. I know many people say it's not good to take a photo of a sleeping person but I don't really believe in that and so far, nothing has happened to me.

Then there is this picture of me taken with this drawings on a wall.

I really like that panda and dog drawing (there is dog at the side but it is not in the camera). They are so funny! All pointing at the same direction! Hahaha. So I told KL that I gonna join then and he will take the picture for me. LOL. Funny or not? If you wanna see this cute graffiti, it's at Marina Square, near the cinema.

Getting Creative

When I was a little girl, I think I was rather creative. I did alot of nonsense things and say alot of nonsense words. The older I get, the less creative I am. How sad right? Maybe I am too held up by work and opera that I didn't really have free time to let my mind wander around.

Here is something I did when I was young. HAhaha. I made my sister sit still so that I can style her hair with clothes pegs. Yup. I clip all the clothes pegs onto her hair. I just did it without thinking and this is what I got.

I think it's kinda cute right? And my sister also looked so cute last time! Hahaha. Not bad. Everytime I see this photo I laugh. My mum also laugh whenever she see this photo. She is amazed at how I come up with something as silly as this. And amazed that my sister actually allowed me to do that to her!

It's cute! I dun think I can do it again even if I want to! Fortunately, I got take a photo of this when I did it for memory keeping.

Gathering 03-04-10

Our first gathering in 2010 ended in a mess! LOL. It's all yh's fault lah. She tried to make our teacher drunk. Heng sia. That day I got performance so I arrived late and they forgot all about making my drink wine. I hate wine. Absolutely hate it.

Let's see, we got a total of about 12 bottles of wine that day.



Contribution from all the students... YH 's aim is to make teacher drunk.

And the came the feast contributed by various students too. My mum of cuz prepared her best dish, the chicken curry with fried bee hoon. May said that my mum must cook chicken curry cuz her curry is now like a stereotype in coi. Everytime we think of curry we think of my mum.

MAd bala in his yellow t shirt again.

Everyone laughing... dunno at what?

Teacher is getting drunk already. May sit quietly by her side, not making a sound, hoping that no one wil ask her to drink.

These 2 already give up. Sit at the side, concuss liao. hahaha.. So many ppl wearing pink that day leh. Think next time we have party, we must have a theme. Like everyone must wear certain colour or certain style. Then fun mah right... lol.

That day our teacher got drunk and she told me that the first thing she think of when she woke up the next day is... miko never drink any wine last night.

Hahaha... yah heng for me I escaped!

Practicing Opera

Practicing opera can sometimes be dangerous. Especially when it involves lethal weapons like tha 'Ah Ceh'. Dunno how to spell it but the Ah Ceh is a popular weapon for the opera practitioners. I believe all the opera pratictioners here have more or less used the Ah Ceh as weapon before.

May and Zhu Ying confessed to me not so long ago that they used the Ah Ceh to practice at home. Zhu Ying's son laughed at her while her husband shakes head. May practiced at home too and her maid said," M'am what you doing with that thing? I need to take baju."

My mum, being not an exception, used the Ah Ceh at home and caused a havoc. My father has to protect himself from getting attacked.

Please see..

Watch out your head.. My mum is on the prowl.

Strange mopping style

My mum invented this strange mopping style. I found out about it one day when I was at home in the afternoon. She has finished mopping the floor and decided to dry up the floor a little more. So she did this while we all kept our feet up.



Nice style right? hahaha Only she will do this kind of things lor.

Kisses~ Muackz!

Random photos taken by Phyllis Quan. She too free nothing to do, go around snapping photos of people. Especially when we were on the float. She was very bored I think.


However some photos she took are quite nice unexpectedly like this one:

I was sitting on the float because my feet were aching from standing too much.

This photo looks like me and susan are gossiping....

Phyllis took this photo and she find this photo very amusing. She kept laughing and showing everyone this photo. HAhaha... She said that I look like a cat in this photo.

And this one... also very random.

I like this photo alot and set it to be my hp wallpaper liao. LOL cannot see my face... like very mysterious.

Then we tried to take a photo of ourselves like this but we kept getting the wrong photo because the float was very cramp. We decided that we will ask susan to help us take a picture after the parade.

After the end of our parade, we waited at a petrol station for KL to come pick us up. I took the chance to take some photos with the other dancers.

And so Susan helped us to take this muackz photo.

This Phyllis mover her face so far away dunno scared what leh. LOL She is so thin skin lor. Susan say where got people take photos like that one? Got dan want to kiss you then you must be very happy and move your face closer mah. Then suddenly Susan say she will demo and grabbed me! LOL

We decided to take a photo with the impression of kissing by using the correct angle. Susan and me posed while Phyllis took the photo.

Hahahaha... funny sia.... the other people were all laughing like mad seeing us do this. They were all exclaiming that we look very real. But susan and me both think that this photo fail because it apparently show that we are just faking it. It must look real lor.

he other were giving us lots of comments like what angle our heads should be and that we must close eyes etc.

And so Phyllis asked us to give her another chance so we did the pose again.

Phyllis seemed quite happy with this photo but we still think it fails.. Looks kinda weird. Not like those nice ones we always see in opera leh or TV leh.

Still fail right??? Hmmm.. seems like Phyllis is not a very good photographer. I wanted to give it a shot so I asked the other people to pose while I take the photo but nobody want to pose!! They all quite shy leh.. I told Phyllis and Susan to pose and Phyllis told me like that is very gay lor! Hahahaha.. Imagine a Sheng and another sheng lor.

Susan in the end tried to grab Phyllis also and I quickly shoot one photo before Phyllis can push herself away.

This one looks very 勉强 and Phyllis look so scared. She kept shouting,"wah you all crazy ah!!!"

Finally, we decided that the best way to get the picture we want is Phyllis and me wil pose while Susan will take the photo. I think at least Susan knows what we want to take and here it is:

I think of all picture this one is the best liao. It's the most realistic one and I kinda like it! It's quite romantic right? Just like the one in my opera blog header!!! We laughed so much after taking this photo cuz it's so real and it's so funny! I laugh till stomachache and Phyllis keep saying how crazy we are to do this.

While we were laughing away so hard, another ying tai our group suddenly come over to me and grab me! She wanted to kiss me to take photo also but I freaked out! She is so sudden lor! I told her she should grab Susan because she is a pair with her mah. Why grab me wor? Like lesbian! Man, this is so crazy. We are really a mad bunch.

KL also say this one very realistic and I should edit the background away and use this photo as my header in my opera blog instead. Wah, like that many ppl will see, dun want la, cuz Phyllis very shy. She dun want me to publicise lor. That's why I can't put it in facebook!

Phyllis is like so much more younger than all of us but seems like we are much crazier than her! I thought youngsters should be more adventurous and crazy lor but apparently, so far I see so many youngsters, few are as crazy as me and a few of my friends. Phyllis is so shy, I told her she should join us and learn opera. Soon she will be as crazy as us liao.

In the car, Phyllis started taking random pictures of me again!!

So I took a picture of her and susan... These 2 crazy Liang shan bos without their hats~ LOL....

It was fun and crazy but we all enjoyed it. All of us laughed like nobody business! Next time got chance I will think of other crazy pose to take photos with!

Chingay at Heartland

I took part in the Chingay at heartland events. We toured at Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Tampines then Chinatown. The heartland events were very super tiring but it was still fun. On the first parade at North, The whole parade took like 4 hours!!! I don't know why it took so long. The poor people staying there were waiting for us to come for a long time.

The 4 hours parade travelled like 28km through Woodlands to Yishun. We didn't have any breaks, no drinking or eating or toilet break. We just moved on and on and on..

I was very tired of course. Wearing the costume and having the heavy head dress but then when I see the audience, I still have to smile and wave. I felt happy too when the people there seems very happy to see us. No matter how tired I am, I will still smile and wave because the audiences have waited for a long time for the floats to come. It will be unfair to them if we don't do our part.

This is the first time I smiled continuously for 3.5 hours, and wave for that long too. Wave till my arm ache. I told my friends that I smile and wave more than the president does in a year!

We were like super stars when we got off the float finally at Yishun! There were camera flashing all over and we just stood there and let people come to us to take photos. LOL, Now I know how it feels like to be a super star, with so many cameras flashing around you.

I didn't take any pictures in the woodlands parade because we were too busy! Busy posing for others to take photos and busy drinking and resting whenever we can.

One funny thing happened at the woodlands tour though. LOL Remember our dearest Ying Tai's arm stretching out? She kept hitting the trees by the road side and one by one her fingers broke off!!! Everyone were like,"Woah! Look at that statue got no fingers!!!!"

Finally one finger left and Phyllis told me that it will be funny if that last finger broke. I told her it will only be funny if the whole arm broke off!

At the exact moment when I finished my sentence, our yingtai's arm broke off! And I mean the whole arm broke into pieces!!! We were so stunned Phyllis kept laughing her head off saying that what I said came true..

Poor ying tai has got no arm for the rest of the parade.

Through the parade, I heard the people calling out to me sometimes and Phyllis said they are lecherous men around her. LOL.. I heard one who shouted '英台我爱你!' Another one shouted '英台英台英台!' continuously. Phyllis cannot stand it lor. HAhaha she kept saying,'wah lau... so lecherous...'

Got one funny one lor.. ask me if I am 嫦娥! Hahaha..

Then Phyllis said why is it that all the people who took photos said thank you to me but no one said thank you to her. LOL I told her that she can change to dress up as a girl lah if she wants. But she dun want.

Yesterday, we got another heartland parade at Chinatown. This is a bigger event as there were even fireworks and fire crackers. They even have some performers there to dance. But we waited a very long time around the float so we got time to take pics. Hahaha.. Lots of pics in fact!

Oh yah, on both days, I did make up for ALL the 6 ppl!!! Can you imagine that? I drained myself out by doing make up for 6 people! It's not easy and it's a very tiring thing to do. Susan said my make up matched the event and so I have to do for all of us. I took like 4 hours to do make up for all of us. This is Phyllis after my magical make up, her eyes were bigger. But I haven do her eyebrows yet so she look abit weird here.

Nice or not? Not bad right? I think I can go do part time make up for such events liao. :P

The 2 山伯, which one more handsome??

We make a crazy pair of 梁山伯祝英台 because we are always up to something crazy and Phyllis is always up to doing something silly also. Like taking random pictures of me..... -_-"

This one very cool shanbo, still talking on the phone like doing very big business like that. Hahaha.

Poor Yingtai got her arms back!!! Dunno which hospital got such good plastic surgery lor. Can re-attach her arms back so perfectly. No scars at all! But then they changed the direction of her arms so that she dun knock into anymore branches. We decided to pose with the new arms position.

Susan like to do all these cool positions...

And another stylo malo positon.

And one with her tiger friend.

Beautiful night scenery in Chinatown.

We requested to take photos with these sexy ladies! They are really very sexy lor but it's good lah. Weather so hot.

Phyllis and me decided to act cool with susan. So we followed her and do her favourite 'headache' pose....

And this... thinking of something pose....

Next up, candid shots of us taken by a friend. She was there to help out and take photos for us! Thanks!!

We are posing for the audiences, they like to take photos~

Romantic float.

And this phyllis looking very bored. Like she is going to fall asleep if nothing exciting happens.

Then she found something to do by gossiping with Susan. dunno what they talking about..

Phyllis: Wah, there got 2 apples for $1! Very cheap!!

Susan: Wah lau, $1 where got cheap? I saw one at 2 for 50cents!

They decided to tell the news of the cheap apples to Ying tai...

Susan and Phyllis: Ying tai! We found one stall sell apples at 2 for 50 cents only! We go buy leh before the floats move away.

But Ying tai cant be bothered.

Susan being the more attentive Shan bo checked out what is wrong with Ying tai. Why she look so sad. Hahaha..

The 3rd shanbo was left out from the apple conversation. She is more independant.

Some candid shots of us.. wandering around the floats.

Nothing else better to do, Phyllis looking up the sky, it's a full moon. I am only worried about my wig falling off.

Finally at 8+pm the floats started moving around Chinatown. It was very very crowded there as there were many tourists and the fireworks attracted the fireworks fans.

During this waiting time, Phyllis took some silly photos of me.. Which she commented that I look like a cat.... But I think my blog too long so I blog again in other entries. :)
