Fish N Chips

Billy Bombers' Fish n Chips rocks.

However the serving is simply too large for me.

So I didn't manage to finish it.

HLM Practice Video Clip (1)

Here is a snippet of YN's HLM practice video clip.

I notice that most of the KH dans are very fast in picking up.

Not only that almost all are very enthusiastic in learning.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha~~~~

Think the Shengs are sitting on the fence especially me who is lacking of fighting spirits. (LOL)

Instant Noodles

Shanice is an instant noodles craze. If you want to know more about instant noodles, maybe you should ask her.

Her favourite brand is Myojo, I think. (Did I get the spelling right? Looks kind of wrong. LOL)

She has tried and tasted many.

She doesn't mind to eat instant noodles for dinner. I know some wouldn't take instant noodles if they have a choice.



Recommended by Shanice. I have tried it this morning.



It tasted spicy and I like spicy food provided not too hot.

It is nice. Why don't you try it too?

Hong Lou Meng's Practice At KH

YN and I had our first practice in HLM's excerpt. This excerpt is scheduled for performance in next year.

Kiasu YN has already practising hard for this excerpt. She has already started her part and she really progressed so amazingly fast.

Gosh...When I saw her do her part. I questioned her whether was she going to nominate herself for the "Xiang Hua" award.

She replied that she's eyeing for the "Best Supporting Actress" award. (LOL)

Anyway, there will be 3 groups of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. Leader will pair off with Lin Xianyuan, YN and Me as the 2nd group and WMY will pair with XJ.

WMY, you have to learn this cast up by hook or by crook, Leader's order. I guess you have no choice but to learn this role up.

Leader wasn't too pleased with us initially because we didn't perform up to her expectation.

However Leader did compliment me after quite a number of practices. She said that I had caught the feel of the role and she asked YN to digest it so that she could feel her role as well. (LOL)

Got an sms from YN...

"U very good. Very Jia Baoyu... haha...can bring me into the show..."

Wow...Thanks...It is a compliment. Thanks for being so encouraging. ^^

I have not done Jia Baoyu for donkey years already. I have already lost touch most of the feel. I shall try to catch it back. ^^

But I also wish to try other kinds of roles too. I wouldn't want to be very Jia Baoyu in all my roles. I aspire to be a versatile actress. (实力派演员）

As long as my health doesn't deteriorate, I still want to perform. ^^

Our Boxers

The striped one belongs to me and the white one belongs to my BOBO Bear.

Nice aren't they? (LOL)

Sparks Lin's TW Operas

Met Sparks on MSN. He threw me his TW opera's links.

Please enjoy the clips. ^^







Sparks himself as Pan Jinlian
Ya Rong as Wu Song. (I like Ya Rong. She's a nice person and can be quite comical at times. I love all her English jokes!)

Performance At Convention Dinner (II)

A clip on us at the backstage before performance.



I was the first one to complete my makeup and hair. (As expected)

I love HELLO KITTY. Guess I am the only one who like HELLO KITTY. Quite a few of them like Winnie the pooh but I prefer Piglet yozz.

The dans were naughty...hehehe...Once we were done, we would pass by WMY and throw her a remark - "WMY, I'm done!".

One famous line for WMY is .. "One eye one hour". She made up her one eye for an hour. (LOL)



See how "expensive" the hairpieces look! This princess is so RICH!

SH was so so happy last night. She even polished her nails with care. A little smear wasn't tolerated. So she did it for the 2nd time till she was pleased with them. (LOL)



One more picture of the palace maid before wrapping up this chapter. ^^

WMY ever mentioned that I am too qualified to be a palace maid. So next time I try to be the "Head of Palace Maids". ^^

Performance At Convention Dinner (I)

It was Ann Kway Association's anniversary last night. It was a great event and we were invited to give an excerpt performance - The Wilful Princess. Our rehearsal was scheduled at 4pm. Some of us were late but we didn't mess up with their schedule cos the one before us took a pretty long time to rehearse. They were 30 minutes late. I messaged WMY since morn and she only replied me after 2pm. She just woke up however she wasn't the only one who slept this late. YN's also another champion and I couldn't imagine how would they able to let themselves sleep so long. I told them that I wanna try to sleep till 2pm today and yet I woke up at 9plus. Consider quite early as we got home quite late last night.



Look at this grand red table. I have never seen a table as big and as grand as this. This was for the Very VIP.

YN was at the back helping YA to hold the costume for ironing and I was waiting eagerly for Leader to bring us to the foodcourt. We were simply famished.

We ate others also. Dim Sum alone wouldn't feed us all. (LOL)



A princess is a princess indeed. Look at her dressing table...lots of sparkling gems and most of them already settled themselves on the princess' head. (LOL)



That's me after makeup. First time as a palace maid....so fun, no stress and can eat more. (LOL)

Singing Dragon Lady Excerpt

I think both of them sang nicely. Nicer than the original pair. ^^

Rehearsal Fun Again

Think we are getting much better than the previous rehearsals.

It is nice to see that the dancers getting more involved in the performance and some of them actually took up heavier roles with lines and one of them even has a chance to sing.

3 big claps to her because she doesn't understand and speak hokkien but she is learning how to sing them. She acted the 5th daughter pairing up with WMY.

You should see how WMY shine when she is with her. I think WMY is very proud to see her progressing. ^^

Chinese Opera In English

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand it!!!!!!!

Do you like it??????

Chinese Opera should stay as what it is!!!!!!!



Another wacky one! Hahahahaha..this one is more entertaining!

The Mystery Of The Bamboo Snake

On the whole, I think they sang not too bad...got taste. ^^

Not too shrill but still acceptable. ^^



Another clip by the same troupe.

I think this troupe's performing style is quite TW.

The sheng in the 2nd clip is the same person as the dan who wore red dress underneath her white clothing in the 1st clip.

From the VCD's cover, she is the troupe leader of this troupe. I think I have seen her about a decade ago in Zhangzhou. If I am not mistaken, she is the niece of Director Guo Zhixian. She was one of the lead dan in another troupe (now already disbanded) led by a Taiwanese in Zhangzhou.

P.S. Lots of echo in the mic system which is quite a setback.

Yueju veteran Wang Junan is coming to Singapore to perform!!!

Must watch yozz!!!

Watch out for the news yozz... This is so far that I have heard from external source. ^^

Wang Zhaojun

Saw this a couple of years back.

Enjoy yourself. ^^

Hyperventilation Once More

I hyperventilated again yesterday in the midst of a meeting.

My heart beat so fast that I could not cope with the breathing.

I couldn't speak then and all that I could do was to signal to my Head infront of me.

She was explaining something and got distracted by my hand movements.

The next moment she came over me and help me to tide over my attack.

She had assisted me before and she was the only person who was calm enough to "save" the situation.

I FREAKED out my colleagues once again.

I CREATED another big hoo ha and became the DRAMA GAGA for the day. (Sighz)

The attack this time was bad. My muscles cramped and I couldn't take control of them. I fainted a short while but was regained consciousness after a minute.

Usually hyperventilation hardly leads to unconsciousness but this time I did though only for a little while.

I couldn't walk then and they had to wheel me to the sick bay.

There I rested and slept.

My colleagues came to peek at me to see whether I needed any assistance.

My brother and his wife came to pick me up BUT....

my brother was yaking over his wife's handphone over his new sports car's matter.

His poor sister dying to go home to rest and yet he was still talking into the phone over a non-living thing!

Initially I asked my other brother for help but he had to go to Camp for his reservist unless I could wait till 8pm which wasn't appropriate.

I had no choice but to call the OTHER ONE. My sister-in-law is nice enough whom I used to have misconceptions about her last time.

I was glad that I didn't ask my Dad. He fell when he was at work yesterday and he had sprained his wrist. I hope he would recover soon.

This morning went to see Doc. My regular Doc is outstation again! So the substitute doc asked me lots of questions. He wanted to find out what had triggered my hyperventilation again.

Again no absolute solutions to the cause of the panic attack.

I took a blood test. Test for Thyroid as Thyroid may be one of the causes for hyperventilation.

It cost me a hefty 71 bucks. Again part of my salary went to the Doc. (Sighz)

Oh yeah...one more to add.

The Doc had to ask his two medical students to hold me when he extracted blood from me. I got too nervous when I saw his needle and I started to panic.

He hushed and told me not to hyperventilate in the clinic....(LOL)

I had bad experiences when DOCs took my blood. Most of the time I would end up bruised and enraged.

But this DOC was okie and so I spared him the agony of being "scolded" by a patient. (LOL)

Before I end this entry, DO NOT CRY TOO MUCH BECAUSE PROLONGED CRYING MAY LEAD TO HYPERVENTILATION... I think there is a possiblity because the DOC asked me whether I were upset the last few days.

I admit that I were pretty upset then...... But I didn't bring that out to the DOC.

Lately I am stressed as well.....(LOL)

I really want my HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!

See Someone Familiar?

The prettiest dan in the movie clip is the same actress who did the main sheng in the Mothcave. ^^

Into Sudoku

I am now into my Sudoku Puzzle number 43!

I am only into one third of the book and there are about 80 more puzzles to go.

I started on 23rd of Sept, tried 2 puzzles and failed to solve them.

I stopped for quite a while and resumed on 12th of Nov.

I solved the 3rd puzzle. On the 13th of Nov, I solved another 6 puzzles.

On the 14th of Nov, I did another 8 puzzles. On the 15th of Nov, I continued another 9 puzzles.

However on the 16th of Nov, I did only 4 and I solved none! (This day, I got too emotional and started crying... too many things on my mind, nothing to do with my puzzle solving but it did cause me not able to concentrate on Sudoku.)

Yesterday, I did another 8 puzzles, only managed to solve 2 of them.

Today, I finally able to solve Puzzle 43. ^^

One thing that I learnt, you wanna solve Sudoku....You better don't cry too much. Hahahahaha (LOL)

被遺忘的感覺很不好受

排練後, 我悄悄在自己的車上哭了. 哭了好一陣, 然後開車到離我家不遠的停車場繼續哭...我需要時間好好平復心情......

淚水很不聽話,它就一直流. 哭,對我來說是一種發洩. 與其將委屈心情放在心上,不如痛快地哭了.

從小到大, [朋友]在我的心中佔著很重要的位置.

或許[朋友]比[家人]花更多時間關心自己吧.

[家人]的定義卻只是在我高中時代, 父母接我回家後才真正開始...但一切都好陌生,從[零]開始讓人有些迷芒失措.

是[朋友]開始讓我知道, [慶祝生日]的喜悅.

或許對許多來說, [慶生]沒有什麼大不了, 忘記罷了,沒舍了不起的.

讓我覺得有些遺憾的是...

有些和我不相干的[外人]關係普通到不能再普通的普通朋友竟然記得送上生日祝福.

只是簡單的[生日快樂]四個字, 會讓你覺得很窩心.

整個劇團好幾十個人, 有不少和我一起奮鬥好一段時間,甚至10年以上的...一個星期至少要見上兩天,甚至四天也有的.

一句話傷透了我的心...

我的生日才過了短短一天罷了...

她說: "班丹" 所以就沒有給你慶生...... (班丹 - 指的是 - 類似迷信忌會)

我說: 這不是"班丹"的問題, 問題是出自有沒有這份"心"

我走掉了... 不是我小氣, 不留下來為另外一位即將要過生日的團員, 而是我知道我的淚水會很不聽話...

別人慶生, 有人哭的話不是更'班丹'嗎? 這'班丹"之罪,我受不起.

打開櫃子, 看到團長給我留下了一張紙條...上面寫著[生日快樂]還有一瓶營養果汁.

團長出國去了, 昨晚不在團裡.

原以為團長不會記得我的生日, 我是屬於[孽徒]輩的, 不懂得也不會刻意去討好上層的那種,
有時候還很白目般的不給她面子.

在此, 我想說一句[謝謝]給有心的朋友們.

Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday.

我想往後我不會那麼重視我自己的生日了.

或許...

[慶生]沒有什麼大不了, 忘記罷了,沒舍了不起的.

是句金玉良言.

我愛精緻蛋糕

對蛋糕,我嘴巴很刁.

自從去了日本之後,吃過那裡的蛋糕就對本地的蛋糕很嫌.

长得普普的多數引不起我的興趣.



长得透人的蛋糕通常是天價, 我會徘徊, 心裡拿不定主意是否要給錢包受罪.

台灣的85度C的蛋糕不錯吃. 我記的我就在基金會的不遠處的85度C吃過.



這家在VIVO CITY, 還真不錯...價錢真的比較貴......

我不再生你的氣了

這是江大公子-江瑤送給我的生日禮物.

香水, 我很少用...不過我心裡還是感謝瑤瑤姐的一番心意. 住那麼遙遠還不忘給我寄來禮物. 您的心意比禮物更為珍貴.

我已經好幾年不理會人家了. 我沒有江大公子那麼大量, 她還是對我很好. ^^

我: 你真的不演戲了嗎?

瑤: 我掛靴子了. 你最近如何?

我: 我也想要掛靴子呢.

瑤: 你掛什麼靴子啦, 等你那天回心轉意,想要演的時候...有些話要對你說......

以上的談話內容是這個大概...我記不清詳細的

江大公子, 阿邁還是像以前那樣任性...只是我不再生你的氣了. ^^

我愛扇子

我最愛的戲曲用品之一是小生扇子.

團裡的小生們應屬我個人扇子最多.

最豪華的扇子是日本扇子,至今沒有在此公開過. 還沒有在劇團使用過.

我有兩把日本扇子...其中一把不適合在舞台上用...
我只用過一次...不在舞台上而是在舞台下看戲當觀眾時候,天氣熱而用來扇幾下罷了...是不是很誇張..(爆)

之前玩壞掉數把,快沒有了.要找到好扇子真的不容易...更不用指望本地能找到好的.就算找到,價錢也未免太貴了.



原以為扇子快沒了......朋友給我帶來好幾把...真是個意外驚喜呢. ^^



金扇子再現. 我還是懷念之前離奇失蹤的金扇子. 這兩把的質感沒有之前的好. 我這次不會再那麼大意了,好扇子我將會隨身帶來回.



其他的扇子~~~



我家熊寶寶是不是很可愛呢?

陳飛專場-[百花山]

陳飛和吳鳳花的精采打鬥場面,一定要看唷. ^^

郭春美的[義薄雲天]

我愛葉姐的[蛇郎君]

小時後看了[蛇郎君]讓我從此喜歡上葉青還有歌仔戲.
長大再看[蛇郎君]讓我好喜歡深情款款的蛇郎.
現在再看[蛇郎君]給我美好的回憶.

我還是很愛[蛇郎君]

I Love Yeqing's 蛇郎君!!!

I brought my mum out this afternoon and I saw Yeqing's DVD and Guo Chunmei's.

Yeqing's蛇郎君is always my FAVOURITE though this show was produced donkey years ago.

I always want to watch GCM's 義薄雲天 many years back when I saw the poster at a video shop. Somehow this show didn't release and the proprietor was not able to tell me why.

So what did I do on my birthday?



I play SUDOKU and hope to be an expert soon. (LOL)



And of course, my lovely BOBO bear keeps me company. ^^

My Birthday Tomorrow

Once it is past midnight, will be my birthday.

Perhaps this year is the most lonelinest birthday I may have.

In my early years, I don't quite remember how I celebrated my birthday. Not much of impression as I could hardly recall. My parents were not with me, I was with my grandparents then. My traditional grandparents didn't believe in celebrating birthdays.

When I grew older, I learnt to celebrate with friends.

However people remember and then forget. I am used to it already.

Only very few of my friends would remember.

I spend most of my time in KH but not many of them remember.

Some would just remember for a year or two and then forget or can't be bother with it. We are all busy people.

I guess things are like that unless they are really your very very close friends.

Surprisingly MD msned me and wished me a happy birthday. It is a pleasant surprise, thanks MD.

I will be celebrating my birthday with my BOBO bear. My colleagues were so kind when I accidentally mentioned that Friday would be my birthday. They treated me lunch and pastries and even bought my bear a suit on Monday.

I am truely touched. It was the first time that I received warm greetings from them.

ML treated me Korean Hotpot yesterday. She never forgets my birthday and I forgot hers twice in a row.

Tomorrow I probably stay at home and celebrate quietly with my BOBO bear.

I just want to have a quiet one to myself this year.

好聽的曲子

台灣歌仔戲VS中國歌仔戲

兩個劇團同屬民間劇團, 台北民權VS漳州百藝.

唱腔運用不同,曲子好好聽.



好聽易懂



鑼鼓好好聽!!! 唱腔雖然沒有台灣歌仔戲來得柔順,但是別有一番濃濃的戲曲的味道.

Zhao's Orphan

I saw a writeup about Shanghai Yueju Company's Zhao Opera and it seemed to be a major production.

I finally gotten it. Thanks to my friend who helped me to get it for me. ^^



I am yet to watch the DVDs and I must say that the packaging is rather nice. ^^



He Ying, the ex-top dan of Zhejiang Yueju Troupe made her special appearance in this DVD. ^^

However, she aged alot based on the picture that I saw in the packaging. (Sigh)

Time and tide wait for no man.

flash test

Blogger doesn't seem to accept SWF file as I initially wanted it to be the header in my blog.

The Han Costume

It was said that the Han Costumes should symbolise the traditional costume of Chinese instead of the Qi Pao.

過度換氣症候群

你最近常常嘆氣嗎？常覺得心中有一股氣吐不乾淨？常覺得心跳得很大力且很快？常覺得胸悶悶或胸痛？常覺得頭暈暈或頭重腳輕？手腳常覺得麻麻的？小心！你可能得了過度換氣症候群。

一、定義

每分鐘的通氣量超過我們人體的代謝需求，而造成血液動力及生化上的改變【快而淺的呼吸卻使二氧化碳被大量地排出體外，形成低二氧碳血症(hypocapnia)、也會引發呼吸性鹹中毒(respiratory alkalosis)】，個案會有吸不到空氣的缺氧的感覺，因而更緊張，呼吸也不自主地變得快而淺形成惡性循環。

二、原因

1.某些壓力或藥物食物所誘發，例如：情緒壓力，工作壓力、咖啡、茶等都被證實可能引起過度換氣症候群。

2. 一些負面情緒(如：氣憤、恐懼、緊張…等)的累積而誘發出來，可能是負面情緒使自主神經系統失緒，因而呼吸不自主地變得快而淺，患者會有吸不到空氣的感覺。

三、症狀

開始快而淺的呼吸之後的1分鐘之內就開始出現。1.心臟：胸悶、胸痛、心悸、喘不過氣；2.神經系統：頭暈、頭痛、手腳或臉部發麻；3.腸胃系統：肚子發漲、消化不良、排氣、口乾舌燥；4.全身疲勞虛弱、頭重腳輕、運動耐力不夠、易喘。所影響的是全身性，所以常常身體會同時發生上述的不舒服，而個案也因此常接受很多不必要的檢查，而且常檢查不出有何病灶。

四、哪些人容易得過度換氣症候群？

1.性別：男：女＝1：7； 2.年齡：15-55歲；3.二尖瓣脫垂患者；4.Ａ型人格特質（行動快速，要求完美）；5.人際關係或工作、生活上突然變動。

五、治療

並無特效藥，最根本的辦法，還是要找出誘發此病的根源，除此之外，

1.若需要藥物幫忙，則可使用抗焦慮藥物及鎮靜劑！

2.從心理治療以及接受肌肉放鬆的技術訓練，冥想或是催眠治療也可能有幫助！

3.呼吸訓練或紙袋呼吸，在臨床上也都有不錯的成效。

六、預防之道：

1.適當的發洩自己的負面情緒，不要刻意的壓抑，以免一發不可收拾。
2.要對過度換氣症候群的初發症狀有所認識，以便及早提醒自己放鬆情緒及放慢呼 吸。
3.若過度換氣症候群一而再的發生，應該尋求適當的諮商管道(如身心科醫師)，以 求辦識及處理自己負面情緒的來源。

4.千萬不可跟著個案一起緊張，否則會火上加油，讓患者的病情更嚴重。只要安撫病人的情緒，同時提醒患者把呼吸放慢、加深。如果能有效作到，通常在5-10分鐘之內，就可使病情快速的緩和下來。

5.若患者的情緒無法有效的緩和下來，此時可以紙袋蓋住患者的口鼻，讓他反覆吸入自己呼出的二氧化碳，就可有效的解除低二氧化碳血症的現象，而使病情快速好轉。

6.平時應避免熬夜及咖啡、茶等咖啡因刺激性飲料，以及搖頭丸、安非他命等。

過度換氣症候群 (Hyperventilation syndrome)

我昨晚發作的時候，隱約聽到有人問有沒有哮喘的藥給阿邁噴一下．．．幸好燕妮沒有拿出來．．．我需要的是．．．．給我塑膠袋！！！

過度換氣症候群 (Hyperventilation syndrome) 是因為急性焦慮引起的生理、心理反應，發作的時候患者會感到心跳加速、心悸、出汗，因為感覺不到呼吸而加快呼吸，導致二氧化碳不斷被排出而濃度過低，引起次發性的呼吸性鹼中毒；此外，會有四肢肌肉僵硬、嘴巴周圍及手指、角指有針刺麻木感、頭暈甚至因而暈倒喪失意識等症狀；通常患者越不舒服、越緊張的時候，反而會惡化症狀，導致惡性循環。
過度換氣症候群好發於年輕女子身上，患者通常是追求完美的A型性格者，以臨床經驗分析，13歲至30歲的女性較容易發生症狀，這可能是由於女性較為情緒取向所致。

這種現象幾乎無法預防，患者通常處在緊張狀態，一時呼吸太急、換氣太多，就會導致過度換氣症候群，除了在考場常見發病外，其他像面試、第一次約會、看恐怖片、軍人第一次參加演習、遭人追殺等緊張情形時，也都可能發生這種症狀。

過度換氣症候群急性發作的時候，患者的腦部意識是清醒的，因此對於病患的處置，第一,最好是先讓患者平躺，然後將其嘴鼻以塑膠袋套住，幫助其呼吸，讓病人在塑膠袋裡一呼一吸，從呼出的氣中再吸入空氣，氣體中富含的二氧化碳吸入之後，能夠幫助病人穩定血中一時缺乏的二氧化碳濃度，進而漸漸減援患者的不適，當身體不再僵硬時，也就能恢復活動了。

對於經常發生過度換氣症候群的患者，急診醫師的叮嚀：
●適當的發洩自己的負面情緒，不要刻意的壓抑，以免一發不可收拾。

●要對過度換氣症候群的機轉與症狀有所認知，以便及早提醒自己放鬆情緒及放慢呼吸。

●若過度換氣症候群一而再發生，應該尋求適當的諮詢管道（如精神科醫師、心理醫師）。

●致命性的胸痛急症（如心肌梗塞、主動脈剝離、氣胸、肺栓塞），有可能以過度換氣症候群為症狀之一，所以有心血管疾病危險因子（年紀大、男性、有家族史、抽菸、高血壓、糖尿病、高血脂）或肺疾病史患者，仍應儘速就醫查明。

Hyperventilation First Aid

I hyperventilated in KH during rehearsal last night. So I freaked out everyone and they didn't know what to do till I told one of them in between breaths that I needed a paper bag.

WMY asked me for details just in case such a thing happens to me again in KH.

So the aftercause of hyperventilations...

- I did not get to rehearse last night.

- I was not allowed to drive my car home. Poor WMY with her splitting headache had to do the job. I am grateful to her for being such a kind soul though she can be quite stubborn at times. I insisted to take over the wheels but she flatly refused my request.

- I "lost" a performing opportunity today as I was told to rest at home.

- Home...is not a place that I would like to stay for too long. My parents......stress me alot...

- I have no mood today...Being psychically tired is one thing, being emotionally stressed is another thing... I hope that for the being time...Please leave me alone...can?

- So last night was my 3rd serious hyperventilation of the year. I hyperventilated 3 times already. I had my first hyperventilation last year when I got too stressed up at workplace.

- Will hyperventilation eventually cause me my life? I am not sure. There are cases that hyperventilation will cause you to have heart attacks.

- Sometimes I feel that there is nothing to look forward to in life. I want people especially my loved ones to understand me......Somehow they do not and fail to understand. This made me very frustrated.

- I put lots of attention and effort in my chinese opera activities. However they eventually disappointed me and hence made me lose focus. I used to be very passionate towards my chinese opera. I threw in so much of my time and in a way soured my relationship with my parents. I just simply didn't care then.

- My parents....care more for boys than girls. I sometimes hate them when they do things in an unfair manner. They claim that they love their children. My mum measures "filial peity" in monetary value. In fact I was the one that they "sucked" from the most and yet I got it from them in a harder way.

- I know they don't hate me, they love me but not as much as they love and care for my brothers.

- I am tied to this big massive house and I can't get to buy my own because they used up my name and eventually will dry me out of my CPF.

- My future --- bleak?????? In the meantime, I work as normal and KHing as normal. Just that my heart is emptier than before.


Introduction
Hyperventilation is excessive breathing, it is normally caused by acute anxiety and it may accompany a panic attack, it can also occur in individuals who have recently experienced an emotional or psychological shock.　

Recognition
Unnaturally fast deep breathing.
Attention seeking behaviour.
Dizziness.
Feeling faint.
Trembling or marked tingling in the hands and cramps in the hands and feet.
Treatment
Your aim with somebody who is hyperventilating is to remove the casualty from the cause of distress, to reassure them and calm them down.

Speak to them firmly, but be kind and reassuring.
Remove them to a place that is quiet.
If this is not possible ask bystanders to leave or turn away.
If the casualty is unable to regain control of their breathing by doing this ask them to re-breath their own exhaled air from a paper bag.
Ask them to hold the paper bag over their mouth and nose and breathe in and out slowly into the bag about ten times, and then breathe without the bag for fifteen seconds.
The patient should continue to alternate this cycle of breathing with and without the bag until the need to breathe rapidly has passed.
Encourage the casualty to see their own doctor about preventing and controlling panic attacks in the future.

Hyperventilation means breathing faster than normal. Hyperventilating can be scary for any child or adult. When you hyperventilate, your heart pounds and it feels like you can't get enough air. Arms, legs and mouth tingle and may feel numb because you are taking in too much oxygen and not giving off enough carbon dioxide. Other symptoms and signs include visual changes, a feeling of impending doom and sometimes loss of consciousness.
The symptoms usually last 20 to 30 minutes, though it may seem like hours to anyone having them. Though scary, hyperventilation is not usually dangerous.

Causes of Hyperventilation

Anxiety (the most common cause)
Severe stomach pains
Heart or lung disease
Extensive physical injuries
Panic attacks
Disorders of the central nervous system
Prevention
Probably the best way to prevent hyperventilation is to avoid situations and activities that cause anxiety. To help yourself or your child avoid hyperventilating:

Learn meditation and practice it every day. Meditation is a form of mental relaxation. It relieves stress as you focus on a single word or visual image.
Practice relaxing your muscles.
Lie down in a quiet room.
Close your eyes and take "deep" breaths.
Start with your feet. Tense the muscles in one foot, hold for 10 seconds and relax them. Repeat with the other foot.
Next, tense and relax the muscle in your legs, back, stomach, hands, arms, shoulders, neck and face.
Talk to friends, family or even a counselor to help relieve anxiety.
Keep a journal to help you focus on your problems and find solutions you can live with.
Exercise on a regular basis. People in good physical shape are less likely to buckle under stress.
Reduce caffeine. Drink less coffee, tea and colas. Eat less chocolate.

Eat less chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After my attack........I ate chocolates offered by XJ.....

Well.....we didn't know that ......

But I love chocolates....HOW???

Congratulations To WMY

WMY finally graduated and she got herself FIRST CLASS HONOURS!!!

3 big CHEERS to WMY!!!

WMY treated us to a sumptuous meal at KH and Ah Hua was our main chef.

In addition, our WMY is really an aunty killer...(阿嫂殺手)

Well, take a lookie at the clip and you will know why. (LOL)

乾隆皇帝解「夫」字

乾隆到江南巡視，見一農夫扛著鋤頭，就故意跟身邊的宰相張玉書開玩笑： 「這是什麼人？」
張回答說：「他是個農夫。」
乾隆又問：「農夫的『夫 』字怎麼寫？」
張順口答道：「就是二橫一撇一捺，轎夫之夫，孔夫子之夫，夫妻之夫，匹夫之夫都是這麼寫。」
不料乾隆聽後搖頭說：「你這個宰相，連這個夫字的寫法也辨別不清。」
乾隆皇帝說：
「 農夫 是刨土之人，上寫土字，下加人字；
轎 夫肩上扛竿，先寫人字，再加二根竹竿；
孔老 夫子 上通天文，下曉地理，這個夫字寫個天字出頭；
夫 妻是兩個人，先寫二字，後加人字；
匹 夫是指大丈夫，這個字先寫個大字，加一橫便是。
用法不同，寫法有別，不能混為一談啊。」

嗯，真有意思～～

Hello Kitty

這是7年前的阿邁.

當時有個小演出,演一位公差.

重點不是訪問內容,而是阿邁手上的Hello Kitty的迷你風扇.

記的每次演出,一定帶著它.

可惜它早已經壞掉了...

曾在網上的拍賣場上看到一模一樣的...拍下來..結果還了錢...東西沒有收到...

被人吃掉7塊錢!!!!!!!!!!!

我喜歡HELLO KITTY...

可惜不是我每個朋友都喜歡HELLO KITTY.

有些人的原因....聽起來好奇怪...因為HELLO KITTY是只貓,所以就不喜歡......

阿邁就是偏偏喜歡HELLO KITTY, 因為我覺得她好可愛..雖然沒有嘴巴..我家可愛的熊寶寶好像也沒有嘴巴唷...呵呵~~~

阿邁2008年的預定演出

阿邁的價值延續到明年的3月.

2月23日 - 折子戲 - 攻讀西廂

演出地點 - 文禮CC (確定)

怕輸的燕妮知道她會演出林妹妹一角之後, 昨晚已經對我說...她正在復習中.

我目前的"心"還沒有回來, 也提不起精神.

燕妮同學,你的寶哥哥傻掉了.呵呵~~~


2月24日 - 五女拜壽 (原班人馬)

團長宣布[五]劇由原班人馬上, 說句老實話, 我真的很開心...因為我沒有時間學B角. 就算B角比A角容易多了,我不是很願意花這時間. 即使是三月後的[玉堂春],我想我大多數會選擇退去幕後.

一, 我沒有時間.
二, 我要多點時間給自己休息, 不要想戲曲!
三, 我實在對[王金龍]沒有好感!!!

演出地點 - 兀蘭CC (未定)

2月29日 - 三地薌劇,歌仔戲匯演(新加坡,中國和台灣)

演出地點 - 淡賓尼CC (確定)

(原班人馬) - 歡呼三聲!!!!!!!!!!!!! 阿邁是懶人一個...沒辦法啦!

演出地點 - 西海岸CC (不確定)

還有另外三天的演出是上舞蹈節目......阿邁不會參與.....

一來, 阿邁不會跳舞,

二來, 不想給觀眾視覺上太難堪...跳舞很講究感覺和美感...既然自己不會跳舞,還是不要太丟人現眼...呵呵.

我看了春風的TOPS舞蹈段子...很有感覺...蠻好看的...充滿著自信.

讓我覺得我更不敢去跳舞...尤其自己不是跳舞的材料. 我還是安份守己比較好. 呵呵~~~

我發現~~~

心情差的時候,聽了十二哭...心情更差~~~

A Minor Opera Genre - Ying Ge Opera

Take a lookie at the clip and you will get to know more about this minor opera genre.

You may find the two actresses familiar. They are Yueju Opera actresses and they were invited to act in this minor genre which may become extinct in future.

Do enjoy the clip. ^^

YLH VS CYL

Surprisingly, YLH looks good despite her age. I think she is in her 60s.

She has nice complexion. ^^



I wouldn't say the same for CYL. Not that she isn't pretty just that she looks odd in this picture.

She plays a maid in this show and her costume is a bit too glam for a palace maid.

In addition, the way that she stands...is odd...Didn't the photographer tell her not to stand like that....a bit on the flat side...

The angle just doesn't seem too right.

Heard that her dan was disasterous...

Well, expected......

Amai's Green Snakie

These pictures were taken quite some time ago...Was it last year? I can't remember.

Anyway, I saw these pictures again at SH's blog and I took them and wanna to display them here.

I think I like my Green Snakie. Though I didn't get any chance to play this role, it sure was fun taking pictures. ^^

Tomorrow's Exam

I gonna take an exam tomorrow......

Hope that I can scrap through in one piece.

Not hoping to get distinction or even a merit.

Just a pass would be thankful enough.

Wish me the best. ^^
