感触良深

A friend msn me telling me that she read my blog from the oldest entry.

She told me that after reading my blog, she felt lots of 感触.

I was puzzled initially cuz I would probably be the one to have such emotions unless we have similar experiences......

She commented that...

What I (amai) was in Japan, my heart was with the troupe.

(I remember.... KH was performing "Jade" and I was far away in Osaka, I even watched the youtube clip posted up in the net.)

Now...I am in SG, my heart no longer with my troupe.

Well, I can only say... people change when situations change...

Do you know my very first blog was named "Kirk's Passion"?

I discontinued that blog quite a long while ago...

The articles, pictures, my passion...all cemented in that blog, long forgotten, hidden away to be covered in tons of bytes.

Then I opened another blog, the current one which I named "The Opera Stage"..

Then along the way, I just changed to "Amai Desu"...

"Amai Desu"...which simply means..."I am Amai (fullstop)"

Traces of passion...have long evaporated over time...

Perhaps someday...I no longer feel any more emotions...

当塘中水不再起涟漪,感触。。。还会存在吗?

Woes Woes Woes

Hahahahahahahaha....I just got smses, tons of woes from a KHer...

I really 甘拜下风。。。I became runner up...I don't mind yozz...(LOL)

You really champion lor...

But on the contrary, you gotta so many woes and yet still stay so usable and indispensable.

I think Boss usually likes this type of subordinate...

能者多劳,能屈能伸,乃女中豪杰也。

Sighzzzzzzz....

I don't contribute much... Only the amount of years that I stay.

Perhaps this is the only plus point that I have...

I am a very sensitive person...too sensitive till no one can tahan...(LOL)

I am better off as an audience...

I shall do what is deemed fit...

您辛苦了!!!

能者多劳。

您辛苦了。

To Bore You With My ...

Pictures, of course!!! (LOL)



Me and AL

Hahahaha, AL commented that I am "MAN" in this role... What she meant was that I have sharp focused eyes and each time I made a turn, she saw "a sheng" in me.



Royal Grandpa & Me



This is the nicest pictures of all cuz my back is nicer than my front. (LOL)

Sighzzzzzzzzzz

One sad news, I may not be able to go to TW for performance due to my work schedule.

Sighz... I have already missed the CNY performance...

看開點吧~~~

Recently, my heart is not in my opera...I don't have that fighting spirit that I used to have in those earlier years.

Maybe due to several reasons;

-: Not much of a 表現

-: Not much of a 時間

-:Not much of a 肯定

-:Not much of a 機會

-:Not much of a 心情

Yet XJ can tell me that I am being "doted upon".

XJ, you are more versatile and easier to use...我是“逆徒”

One ZZ actor told me that I am better off as a dan than a sheng. He said that I have stage presence. (Wow...professional advice yozz...)

I don't know how to react...whether to be happy because it is a kind of recognition or whether to be sad because I have spend almost half a lifetime doing sheng...

Doing sheng, I have not much opportunities ...

Doing dan, I will be facing lots of competitions and stresssssss...

And somemore, I was told that it is unfair to some troupe members that I play both roles...In a way, I "snatch" their dan opportunities.

I can only say....

I feel sorry but there is nothing I can do...

Your woes are nothing compared to mine... (LOL)

So why bother about "unfairness"?

Let just keep to our own green pastures.

每個人都有自己的一片藍天,不是嗎?

雖然我的藍天的烏雲比別人多。。。我只能隨身帶著傘。。。呵呵~~~

春風歌劇團 天下無雙

台灣第一苦旦‧廖瓊枝





凍水牡丹。。。I have the book, a bibliography of Granny Liao.

鳳飛飛 楊麗花 歌仔戲之 《唐伯虎點秋香》



Shocked!!!

Hey, K.... I can't imagine calling you "DADDY"...

Nor do I see myself as Bunny Kid...

FM taunted me saying I am one 老人家 to act the Bunny Kid...

And guess what...AC, you are going to be the naughty neighbourhood kid...

Wierd Combi yozz???

How I feel?

Shocked and dumbfounded!!!

三凤求凰



热心的戏迷放上网上的视频。。。请欣赏。

昨晚看了三风求凰。。。有些失望。。。

觉得有些演员其实可以发挥得更好。。。

有些地方似乎衔接不起来。。。

全场演得最好的是蔡兰英。。。

若是状元公能再稍微入戏一些,感觉会更好。

小丫头翠香让我眼前一亮,看到她的时候总是觉得她很眼熟。。。
原来就是曾在百艺芗剧团担任小旦,也曾演过此剧的蔡兰英。

翠香,你还是比较适合演小旦, 挺活泼的。。四九。。。我反而不习惯呢。;P

Princess Amai Again




Oopssss.. I see my dimple...;P

Nice??

Round-faced Princess Amai


Saw these pictures online...so I just took...

Thanks ML...

ML just bought herself a new camera. Her old one had served her for about six years or so...

We should be thankful to her as she really spent alot of money on her camera.

Sometimes I just have this feeling that she is being taken for granted and NO ONE knows that she has been through alot when her camera was not functioning well..n somemore she is out of job.

So let us be patient and considerate.

I don't "develop" the pictures overnight and be expected to hand in the next day or so...

Give me at least a week...

Back to my pictures...

Hahahahahahahha.... A round-faced Princess...

薌劇 - 玉蓮杯



有誰認識裏面的演員呢?

我可以什么都不要!!!

看到某部落格。。。

你就以为你自己很委屈。。。但别人的感受如何,你是否花那一点时间去想想?

别再哭了。。。我的心没有多余的空间再因为[哭]这个字来烦恼。

太多事情够我烦恼了。

告诉你。。。

我可以什么都不要!!!

该是时候成长了。。。

有些事。。。因为种种原因, 想要再追回来。。。我想已经不可能了。

为了大家过得更开心。。。

放开吧!

我不想再抓住什么了。。。就算那是美好的回忆又怎样?

不回来就算了。。。你只会让我觉得更加讨厌罢了。

从今天起,我要让自己过得更开心更愉快!

It's Getting To Half-past 4

I'm finishing my work soon.

I'm tired after a day of hard work and XXX.

In about half an hour to 45 minutes, I will be home...

Home sweet home...

A place just for me.

A refuge for me to heal my weariness and XXX.

I apologise if I do not return any calls or smses.

I just want to be alone.

Having a terrible headache and XXX.

Am I Worthy As A Friend?

Am I worthy as a friend?

Or just someone to pass time with???

Or just somebody of yesterday and nobody of tomorrow?

It hurts...it really hurts alot...

I want to be a friend and I always see myself as a nice friend...someone who really cares...

However, reality speaks for itself...

I may see myself as a friend but that does not mean I am seen as a friend by others.

Am I worthy as a friend???

I need to be alone...

Just ALONE...

The Reunion Of The Golden Sabre



This is a Gaojia Opera by Plum Flower Award winner Wu Jingjing.

Enjoy yourself. ;P

Sunday & Others

So nice to stay at home on a Sunday.

It is even nicer to have dinner with parents.

Mum's nagging again...but I know she meant well.

Nagging about what?

Lectured me on "Saving"...

Telling me that my bro and his wife saved $XXX K in 3 years...

My brother is super stingy and he spurs on his car and scrimp onto us.

He hardly goes out during weekends, only to church on Sundays.

He eats 3 meals from home. Breakfast and Lunch (Bread and food taken from our home, my parents pay for all those.)

He saves all his bonuses and he earns the most.

My parents said that they do not worry about him in future but are worried about me.

Well, I paid for my own insurance when I started working... My brothers' insurance were paid by my parents since young and they only took over when they started to work.

Reason?

My mum said that they are boys and boys need money to get wives.

I shall try...try to save within my limits.

In future, I have only ME to fend for myself.

Though I don't have the means to save as much as my brother, I can make it a habit to save some.

Saving some is a good start. (^_^)
