Why Us But Not Them???

Why?? :( I must ask this question WHY is people dying from this local CO circle?? Yes, these performers are of the older CO performers but WHY WHY do they have to die in this painful way bearing in mind one is consider 'young' at the age of 40+ and people from the another group still having a gay time in Malaysia CO circle? Last year itself, M'sian CO circle have lost a total of at least 5 CO good performers due to CANCER. Now one more is on the 'waiting list' Recently lost one oldie but that never mind she died peacefully in her sleep while on stage performing her best. GOD BLESS HER.

The other group is still having a 'high' time grasping all the shows they can offering such a cheap price until NO ONE - I repeat NO ONE can compete their prices. Their BOSS is one rich person who can actually say "I want you to be No. 1, you will be No. 1" Wow! such strong words coming out from the Boss, no wonder noone dare to say anything about their performers.

No wonder the CO circle in M'sia is getting one 'loop side' with this situation. Many CO performers in M'sia are oldies and do not have much income. Even the younger generation of CO performers opt for other source of income instead of performing CO as many many performers cannot get a decent meal out of the situation.

Where is Malaysia CO leading to? Please can someone tell me? :(

God of Prosperity

During the festive seasons, Malaysian shopping malls like to bring in the character that suits the season like Santa Clause (X'mas), God Of Prosperity (CNY), Fairies (autumn mooncake festival). So during this CNY, shoppers can see the God Of Prosperity walking around handing out sweets in Red Packets (Ang Pow). In the newer shopping malls, the management will give oranges which sounds 'kum' or 'gold' in cantonese. You can see people rushing for these oranges. There was one incident that we need to call for help! Shoppers were rushing for 'ang pow' and we need security guards to 'guard' the 'god of prosperity' from being 'rob' :)

Sung Fung Meng Cantonese Opera

Sung Fung Meng Cantonese Opera troupe started in 2007. We face lots of difficulty when we wanted to start this opera troupe. People do 'look down' on us as we were in-experience and face lots of problems. First and the most difficult one - costumes. We went to GZ and HK to buy these costumes. Luck was with us when we were in GZ and HK. Some friends recommended us to buy these costumes at a real cheap price but to bring back to M'sia is one HEAVY problem. I leave it to you readers to imagine bringing back 82kg of extra baggage with 2 people all the way fr GZ railway & HK airport back to KLIA. To those who have been to GZ's railway station may knows. :)
