The 7th month Fan Jian Ritual...

it's the least I would expect to complete my 7th month fan jian ritual with my parents!!! supposedly wanted to jio any fan jian ppl to watch kor dai and then followed by the movie 881, in the end, yesterday my mum jioed me to watched kor dai at AMK. So I suggested to watched the movie 881 after tt. hahaha... never did I expect an instant agreement from her.

so is was wat happened... we waited for papa to come home, had our dinner and set off to AMK to watch kor dai (ge tai) hosted by liu ling ling (aka 600). For ur information, liu ling ling's the fat auntie ling and the kor dai xian gu from 881. AMK was swarming with ppl and we could hardly get to watch the ge tai performance.....

anyway tt's liu ling ling on the left and a msian singer on the rite..... hot de loh... hahahaa no wonder so many uncle (excluding myself) like to watch kor dai... anyway the pic looks really small.

this picture taken secretly.... hahaaha... tt's the back view of my parents....

so let's talk abt 881 the movie. On the whole I really think it's quite good movie, considering tt it's a local production. it's quite close to our hearts. inspired by the ge tai spirit of late mr chen jin lang... a veteran ge tai singer.... the movie talks abt how the papaya sisters strive to carve a niche in the ge tai industry and how little papaya aka xiao mu gua chose to spend every bit of her energy on stage, performing for the ppl and the good brothers. the story is quite predictable but the filming style is rather unique. a good mixture of tragedy and comedy too. I really would recommend ppl to watch this local hokkien musical cos the music is really quite nice!

Btw my parents quite enjoyed the movie becos of the songs. liu ling ling's singing also quite power....

on a side note I think liu ling ling and mindee's (xiao mu gua) acting skills are quite impressive. certain parts of the movie are actually quite touching. you have to see it yourself to noe wat i'm talking abt.
