Pay Day Is Also Bill Day

Happy to see the money on Pay Day.

Sad to see the money gone on Bill Day.

Sometimes when you want to save, things crop up and you save none.

This is again another reminder, to me a harsh one, to save save and save for rainy days.

My youngest brother is getting a MERCEDES...(Nope, I am not at all envious as I am not a car person.)

My another brother is now holding his wife' hand swinging somewhere in Orchard Road...(Again I am not envious cos that means spending money, probably tons of money...lol)

Me? I am now surfing the net, playing Cafe in FB.

That is the result of not saving when I was much much younger!

My Pay Day is not only Bill Day but also Repayment Day...

To repay my parents for bringing me up.

So I foresee myself with thicker eye glasses, playing Cafe and become a virtual millionaire in FB and trying realistically hard to save for old age.

But there are certain things that I may spend...

Gatherings for a meaningful purposes.

Good friends' birthday gifts.

Nice performances. (Only go for those that are interesting and worthwhile.)

Movies. (I always buy tickets at promotional rates.)

Affordable food. (I can switch from I live to eat to I eat to live.)

New Year Clothes. (The most only 2 pieces)

Transportation. (It is a NEED.)

Things that are a NO NO NO...

Shoes & Bags (It is a NO NO NO and I see a need to STOP.)

Sighz...I am more of a shoe and bag person... I shall exercise control, I believe I can do it! (^_^)

See What I Bought!

A swimming board!!!!

I really want to learn how to swim and to learn that, I must learn how to float.

I am worried so I bought myself a swimming board at Nexx.

Went to a few shops looking for reasonably priced swimming boards...

ML said that she did not use a board when she learnt swimming.

I told her that different people are good at different things...

She is a better swimmer than me but I definitely a better singer than her.

So she let me buy my board! LOL

The next day I finally got a swim with my swim board! Hurray!!!

越剧选段 - 《金龙与浮游》

A very difficult excerpt and Wu Sufei took the challenge to act it.

She was 2nd in rank initially however she got first after Director Zhang Xiaoqing gave her a bonus point of 0.5.

You can see the results in the 2nd video clip below.



I like Wu's fighting spirit... At least she tried to test her limits and tried something different.

Wang has a large fanbase...it is proven in the video clip.

I read articles about Fan fans cornering Zhang Yufeng at the theatre, scolding her and trying to hit her because Zhang was awarded first in the final competition.

Gosh, fans can turn out to be ugly and scary, don't you think so?

Cross Acting by Sheng Shuyang & Wang Rousang

I am quite amused by their performance and I must admit that they actually sang quite well. Wang looks quite good as a dan , in fact, I feel she looks better as a dan than being a sheng.

The Fu-style huadan Sheng became the Bi-style xiaosheng and the Fan-style xiaosheng Wang became the Qi-style xiaodan.

Sheng no doubt is quite a good Fu-style xiaodan and I personally feel that Wang's Fan-style needs room for improvement.

When I watched the excerpts last week, I was disappointed with Wang's performance..

In fact, I did not hold any high expectations for her when I learnt that she would be acting that night. That night , the main attraction to me was Lu-style Zhang Yufeng.

The Magical Yueju Couple

They are the same actresses from the previous blog entry.

They are so cute!!!!!!!

I like them though they are from different troupes and it is such a pity that they will probably not be stage partners.

You really need the chemistry to become good stage partners.

It is very important to get a good partner that is able to complement you.

The Henpecked Hubby

They competed in the 2009 Yueju Actresses Competition. (越女争锋II)

I find this excerpt very very hilarious and the actresses are very cute.



They are the same actresses whom you have seen in the first clip.

I still prefer to see them in make up and costumes. (LOL)

Really make a big difference.

MAKE-UP and PACKAGING are indeed IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!

Yang Weiwen's Butterfly Lovers

I am so happy to see Yang again!

Can someone tell me what style is she singing in this show?

Fan style or Xu style?

This clip is super because it has ENGLISH subtitles!!!!

You hardly can find one with English subtitles, not many though.

Hahahahahahahhaa, I like the opening part...so different. MK said it is daring but I find it acceptable.

If you are doing this Yingtai, I think you need to get an xtra as slender as you and if you are not, fear not...the shadows can do the tricks...(LOL)
