an old postcard

While spring-cleaning my cupboards I found an old postcard. I suppose all the faces you see in it are local artistes. Do you know anyone? I think I recognize one of them - the girl doing make-up.


Do you keep old calendars? I also found a 9-year-old calendar with pictures and birthdays or birth dates of some HK opera artistes. How old do you think these two stars are - Long Koon Tin and Wong Chew Kuarn ? Answers in the next post.



By the way, when you do spring cleaning you cannot be too sentimental. Otherwise you will be reluctant to throw away your old things. Many of these things probably have a small place in your memory. But, most likely you will not look at them again until your next spring cleaning and I think you will also not miss them if they are no more there.


Have you read about the young man who collects beer bottles? He already has about 1300 of them in his house. Then there are people who collect dolls, teddy bears and other toys. I guess finding the space to keep them and cleaning them would be quite a headache. In future would it still be a joy to clean them or would it be a chore?

Hi Frannxis

Wishing you and every one MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND GOOD HEALTH.

I guess LGT and WCK should be around 30+ when the photo was taken.

Thanks, Linda, Merry Christmas to you too.

I find it hard to guess the age when they have opera make-up on.

I think knowing the ages of the performers is very interesting, especially when they are my age!
Thanks,
