粵劇情懷 : July 2015
http://frannxis.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
July 21, 2015. Lessons from bad experiences. 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. So you see, people learn through bad experiences. July 15, 2015. 金石牡丹亭 Peony My Beauty. July 09, 2015. I scrapped my car...

April 28, 2015. Performance at Marine Parade. On 26 April 2015. I don't know their names. If you do please let me know. April 13, 2015. I believe you all know that Singapore's population is aging. According to projection, in 15 years' time for every 5 persons, 1 person is over 65 years old and another 1 person is over 55 years old. Does 15 years seem too far away? Not really and actually the number of old people increases every year. You can also see a lot of elderly folks at Chinese opera shows. I would...

August 31, 2014. August 26, 2014. Reminiscing the Golden Era of Cantonese Opera Songs. I also took a few photos of the first two items but the photos were very disappointing.

粵劇情懷 : February 2015
http://frannxis.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
February 24, 2015. If you are Cantonese and your parents are superstitious, they might tell you not to buy shoes during the Chinese New Year period. Shoe is 'hai' in Cantonese. Rough (not smooth) is also hai in Cantonese. So, do you want to have a rough life for the whole year? Furthermore, hai is also a sighing sound. For example, if you ask someone something and he sighed 'hai' before answering, it means something unfortunate or sad has happened. February 11, 2015. 羊年到時，人們喜歡用「羊」字討個...

粵劇情懷 : January 2015
http://frannxis.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
January 29, 2015. In the 50s and 60s, a lot of Chinese families had many children even though some families were poor. Many of my neighbours had four or more children. If a family was too poor to raise the many children it might give away or sell one of them. Nowadays people are much more well-off but they say they cannot afford to have more children. I think it is more a matter of choice rather than money. Have you started your spring cleaning? January 23, 2015. The Day everything went right. In the mor...
