<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I use it a as excuse to buy new things and to eat more or eat things that <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I</span> usually don't eat on normal days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I use it as reason to tidy up the house and throw away old things or things that have not been used for a long time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year I made a schedule of the work to be done and the number of days required to do it. For example: cleaning windows (1 day). Well, up to today I have completed 80% of the tasks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last night saw a performance at Kreta Ayer Square. Some of the performers were from a university in China.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These few weeks, sometimes there were heavy rain on certain days and very hot weather on other days. These alternate extreme weathers can make you rather gloomy. But I think I have come to get used to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you read about the massive floods in Malaysia and Thailand and the ominous smog in China? Compared to these, our hot/rain weather is really nothing. So I think we should not complain. Though some people complain, I think they just want to release their stress. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you read about the 'home' some Hong Kong people live in. These are just tiny cubicles which are about the size of a car park. Incredulous, right? My three-room flat is mansion to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually I am happy with my flat and my Country although there are things that I complain about. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone knows that our small size is a great disadvantage. Another negative factor is that we are surrounded by Islamic countries. I believe when we formulate policies, whether local or foreign, we have to take into account the sensitivities of our Muslim neighbours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example, When Indonesians are anti-China can we be too friendly with China?</span>frhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13402261314300053806noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9979892.post-36666107845639872752016-12-12T23:05:00.001+08:002016-12-12T23:05:20.513+08:00Independence for Hong Kong ?<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Recently two young elected
lawmakers (similar to our MPs) were kicked out of HK's Legco (HK's parliament) because they foiled up their
oath-taking ceremony. Actually they made a big mess out of their
stupidity. They also advocate independence for HK. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">When they were barred from entering
Legco, one of them just rushed in, took out a microphone and proceed
to take her oath by herself. It was incomprehensible that an elected
lawmaker resorted to such ridiculous and hilarious action. Why not
proclaim HK independence as well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Have these people who advocate
independence given serious thought about it? </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">China will not allow it to happen.
No country will recognize HK as a nation and HK cannot defend
itself.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">If Beijing sends PLA troops down to
HK, are these independence-advocates going to protest or fight the
soldiers. It is not like throwing dustbins at the police during the
Mongkok riot. Are they prepared to sacrifice their lives to defend
HK? I doubt it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I think the best way forward for HK
is the 'One Country, two system' path. Make good use of the two
systems and get it to go beyond the 50 years.</span><br />

I remember I watched her pipa performance many years ago. So I checked some old files and found the programme.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was in 1997, 19 years ago, at the Tampines Cultural Centre (Tampines East Community Club). It was an enjoyable concert and I had a good impression of Yan Yu. I couldn't remember much else about the concert. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These cherries were on offer at a supermarket. I like cherries. Usually I buy those that are packed in a container. I do not quite like those that are in a tray and people can choose one by one. A person picks up one, he doesn't like it and throws it back. Each cherry is touched by dozens of fingers. Some of these fingers have touched many other things before. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wash the cherries under a tap before eating them. Other fruits like apples sometimes I remove the skin. </span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Last Saturday I watched the Kong Chow Wui Koon 176<sup>th</sup> anniversary Cantonese opera show. It set me thinking about leadership renewal. Who will take over from Woo Wai Fong (head of Kong Chow's Cantonese opera group) and Joanna Wong (leader of Chinese Theatre Circle). Both of them are in their seventies. </span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">To be an effective leader I think the person must have these qualities:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Have good skills in communication and organization and be able to gain respect and support from others in the groups. They should be competent artists themselves and have good knowledge of Cantonese opera as well as some knowledge of other types of Chinese opera. </span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Those of you who have an interest in Cantonese opera in Singapore would know that there are many local Cantonese opera groups or troupes. Most of them are small and are based in Community Clubs. I don't know how many members they have. Some of them are not active; they have not performed for two years or more. </span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">CTC and Kong Chow are two established and more active groups, so their leadership renewal is more important as they continue their task of not only promoting Cantonese opera and training new talents but also keeping the local scene alive and bustling. </span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It is a very difficult task with dwindling audience and aging performers. </span> </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Normally we say ' Do you know me' not 'Do you know who I am'.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For example:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Do you know me? Why do you keep looking at me?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Do you know me? I stay in this block too.” </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I rarely buy TOTO. Last week I bought $2 TOTO because of the big prize. As we know the probability of getting the first prize is very very very very very very small. But you could fantasize yourself winning and what you would do with the money.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It is quite enjoyable to think of what you would do with the millions of dollars.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This was what I was dreaming about:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I would give $1 million to each of my brothers and sister. I would reserve $1 million to be donated to charitable organizations. I would set aside $500,000 to support local Cantonese opera groups or foreign troupes coming here to perform. This sum would be used for 3 to 5 years or until the money runs out.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">As for myself I would buy a better camera, a few other IT things and some personal items. These won't cost a lot of money.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I have no intention of buying a house, a luxurious car or travelling round the world.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of the results were from my older websites. At that time I am not sure whether there was Blogger or not. I have forgotten my usernames and/or passwords for these older sites, so I couldn't delete them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you use another search engine you may get something slightly different.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went through a few of my older posts. I think many of my views on certain things have not changed. Here is one from an older post:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>“Last week one new post65 MP said it was cool to be square. He was commenting on the PAP trying to be hip in order to connect with the younger generation. No need, he said, people support the PAP for what it is – serious and square.</i></span><br />

</i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>In our relationship with friends, I feel you don’t have to put on an act if you don’t like or enjoy it. Your friends should accept you as yourself.</i></span><br />

</i></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>My friends sometimes say I am not sporting or not sociable when I refuse to join them do certain things. Never mind what they say.”</i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Last week I went to Victoria Theatre to watch two shows - one Cantonese opera excerpts and one Cantonese songs concert. It was the first time I was there after the Theatre's renovation. The outside and inside of the Theatre have changed quite significantly.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I think the new seating arrangement is similar to that of the Esplanade Theatre. I was at the stalls section. The circle section was higher.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">After the shows, feedback from audience who were at the circle seats were all negative - “steps too steep, no handrails, too dark, too high, can't see”.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As we all know, a lot of fans who watch Chinese opera shows are elderly folks. Some have weak legs. They walk slowly and carefully. Some use walking aids. A fall could have disastrous consequences.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Perhaps in future, organizers who want to use Victoria Theatre for Chinese opera shows could leave out the circle section. </span> </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I watched a Cantonese opera performance at a community club. The artists performed well. Unfortunately, there was an embarrassing incident.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During one opera excerpt, the headgear of the huadan in warrior costume fell down. It did not drop onto the floor; it slid onto the huadan's face. It happened another two times before the huadan went backstage to get it fixed. Then she came out to continue with the performance. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Several minutes later, the headgear slid down her face again. It happened two or three times. Poor lady, she must be feeling distressful. The audience also felt sorry for her. She was a bit unsettled but courageously performed till the end. Towards the end of the excerpt her hair wig looked like it had also come loose.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I guess it was the fault of the person who did the dressing-up for her. Maybe the person is inexperienced or he or she didn't do the job properly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think the performers should also ensure that the headgears are secure.</span>frhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13402261314300053806noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9979892.post-86571843361529103152015-08-13T00:09:00.004+08:002015-08-13T00:09:49.558+08:00粵劇 紫钗记<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you
are young or not so young and still working, probably you will need
to acquire new skills and new knowledge by attending courses and
workshops. If you are retired you can also do that. But in this case
the courses and workshops are those that interest you and not for the sake
of earning money.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">However,
life-long learning does not only mean you must go back to the
classroom to attend lessons. You are learning if you want to know
more about something and you take the effort to read more about it.
Or if you ask a friend to teach you how to use Bluetooth in your
phone.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So most
of retired people are actually learning all the while.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There
might be a few retired people, especially those older and
less-educated ones, who are pessimistic. They feel that there is no
point for them to learn; so they show no interest in learning anything new.
</span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you
have friends who are like this, I think it is no use nagging them
about life-long learning or telling them examples like Lee Kuan Yew. It is
better to get them interested in something and then help them from
there. </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A few
days ago, I steamed a fish. When it was cooked I used a pair of tongs
to take it up from the steamer. Then my attention slipped for a
second and the tongs loosened a little and some sauce and ingredients
spilled onto the table. It took some effort to clean up the mess. I
tell myself to concentrate on what I am doing in my future tasks.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Several
years ago I was hurrying home from the car-park. The ground was wet as
it had rained. There was some bird shit on the ground. I didn't
notice it. I slipped on it and fell. Fortunately nothing serious
happened to me. After that accident I am very careful walking on wet
surfaces. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So you
see, people learn through bad experiences.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We read
about the accident along the PIE involving many vehicles. I think it
was that the drivers were following the vehicles in front of them too
closely. Even if they were attentive, the distance was too short for
them to stop without hitting the vehicle in front.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There
are a lot of things you have to do and a lot of inconvenience if you
are involved in an accident. I'm sure these drivers will learn from
the bad experience.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">However,
there are things we cannot afford to learn through bad experiences.
Racial riots for example.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
