First Week of Hungry Ghost Festival

Hmm, it had been 9 days since the commencement of my busy month. Below are some photos, including the one above, i took while i have the time or even asking my brother to take them for me while i was busy singing.
Praying to the "Hungry Ghosts" or what we called them " The good Brothers" is the first thing we must do before every first show of the day starts. Its symbolizes Good luck as we believed if we burned some 'money' for them, they will in turn protect us against any bad encounters while running from places to places. It is therefore, a MUST do Ritual. Believe it anot! It do works...
The other half of Bao Bei Jie Mei <宝贝姐妹>is praying sincerely asking to be blessed... She is always the better talker... She do wonders kk.. Haha
Sometimes, we have to reach the Getai way way before it gets started as we have to queue up. For this case, as we had 4 places to go that night, we have to make sure that we get to sing the first one in our first location of the day in order to be able to finish the rest in time. Getai will starts at around 7:30pm in the evening and has to end after 10:30pm sharp. We , therefore, had very limited time to finish every stage on time if we had many for that particular day.The earliest we ever went to queue was at 10am in the morning as we had 8 places to go that year. AND WE Finished all 8!! That is definitely not easy... we had to get ourselves a good driver who can drives fast and tactfully and had all roads well- versed in his mind. I admit i have a good one that year. Haha!! Of course, luck is something u need to have badly and if u really get lucky, u get to get up onstage the moment u reach your destination. Meaning NO TIME WASTED on waiting for other singers to finish their singing. Every seconds do counts you know..
Besides getting ourselves new costumes , we need to learn new songs and dance steps to, or in another words, come up with new items to perform on Hungry Ghosts Festival too. As 7th Month is our peak earning time for the year, competition among singers are stiff and tense. Besides having to compete with new and cheaper singers who merge only during this period, we have to make sure we are still competitive enough to 'fight' with overseas performers too. Life really sucks yah.. Its so damn tiring and stress. Haiz!!
See!! My sister is so so so so tired until she had to fake a sleeping pose for me!! ahah

me and my fellow singer junior.. Coco..

Us getting ready already

'ZHONG YAO NAN' Emcee of the night

Below are some photos of us onstage. It was not well taken as we were not using a good camera. Hope it will do. This is practically the first sets of our costumes for the first week. More different costumes will be posted up soon i hope..




BTW, Everyday had been a torture to me as i had just moved house and everything is still in a big mess whereby i had no time to unpack at all. All my clothes are still in those stupid boxes, and everyday, i have to go through these BOXES to get my daily attire.. How bad is that??? I have dozens and dozens of clothes that i kept and hang in 2 different rooms.

But today.....
I get to hear a real funny joke from a reporter from xin ming ri bao.

She asked me if i am dating Hao Hao who is also a Getai singer. Gosh!! This is super outrageous. HAhahahahha!! Hmm, this is definiately the best joke of the month. She claimed that somebody among the getai viewers actually called them up and give them this little piece of information. Oh My god! Who can it be? Is he or she got nothing better to do? Or is it the $50, newspaper centre, is offering to anyone who can provide special news to them so enticing? Anyway, this is nothing i should keep it to heart. I just , you know, find out that someone is so so so so so navie to even think of that, makes me really laugh non-stop. Even when i told the reporter that i was actually married since 2 years ago, she was like SURPRISED! Wooooo!!!!!

Oh btw, girls who admire or even love him, we are not lovers k.. We are really good friends!! Damn it! i feel so funny having to explain.. Wahahahahaha!!!!

Well Anything can happen in the Entertainment Line.

Hahahahaahahahaa

Okok enough of that!

I really tired now and have to go Zzzzzz....
Pen off now..
Will post something new again..
At the mean time,
Take care guys..
Love ya!!!

Babes In The city's Newest MTV

星星在等梦


Above Video is our newest mtv for our own song 星星在等梦.
This song is recorded in our first album last year.
But of course the mtv then wasn't very ideal.
My brother in law, Derek Yeo, liked this particular song so he intended to help us to do a nice one.

Mr Derek is very well-versed in videography and had many many students learning from him.
He was into wedding videography too. He's the boss of
Treasure productions .

A name which all wedding couples will come across when they wanna engage one of the best wedding videographer in Singapore.

Because of his hard work made me appreciated this song even more.

We spent practically almost the whole day to shoot this MV.
It was tiring but fun. In order to pulish this song sooner, my bro spent the whole night editing and uploading. He actually wanted to add in some outdoor shoots but due to time contraints we couldn't find time to shoot outdoor footage.

This is really the best MV i ever had..
I hope you guys will like it as much as i do...
宝贝姐妹 really owe Mr Derek a big time.

Thanks Bro.. You are the best..
Cheers

Comin up Plans

Hmm....
In less than 13days, the annual Hungry Ghost Festival is here again.
if you know me, you will know my bz days are commencing soon.
Everyday has to wake up early, slog like hell, run faster than the ticking clock, sing till sore throat
and to protect myself from shooting arrows coming from colleagues.

I am a Getai Singer.

But i am proud of being one.
Haha
People who doesn't understand Getai singers will say enormous loads of bad comments about us.
E.G: Wearing skimpy clothes on stage dancing while 'Ti ko Ah Peks' are watching us.
As what i have always say, "We are sexy in a smart way, not sexy in a slutty way."
I see no problems with our attire at all.
Humans are like that.
If you are a cup of clean water, stay strong, and you will still be a cup of clean water in a
polluted place.
If you are someone with no self disciplined, no matter how excellent your work place is,
you will be the someone who pollutes.
Recently, 联合晚报 has continuously reported on Getais news.
I saw one report which i just can't seem to let go and forget.

Reports say: In the past, a minority of singers chose to sleep around with Getai Organizers in exchange for shows to sing.


I do not know how true was that but i feel that Getai has make its marks today,
by somehow having
tons of people trying to 'upgrade' this heartland roadshow.
But why, at this point of time, this kind of negative shows has to be reported????
SORRY TO SAY BUT THIS KIND OF THINGS HAPPEN IN MOST INDUSTRY.
[ i am definitely not trying to pinpoint]

I recently came across a close friend of mine telling me that
X's girlfriend who is in High class Banking sector, has gone to bed with her boss in exchange for promotion.
So what's the diff between high and low class kind of jobs??

I may in Getai, and i have been in this line for 11 years already.
I know i did nothing wrong that betrays my conscience.
I held my head high and stood tall.
I am surely proud of myself.

Moreover, we are having more and more talented young blood joining our Getai industry.
Its a good sign.
Because even if there are really people who sleeps around to get shows instead of improving themselves.
They will be eliminated by now.


We will only need one black sheep to pollute the whole herd.
