It was another great evening. Again, Tan Chor Hwee and her team have put up a spectacular performance. It was about 6.30 pm when I reached Kreta Ayer Theatre. This time, my wife and mother-in-law came along too. Then, we met our friends, Susie and Edmund. Edmund’s eyes were very sharp. He could recognize my wife even though I was not beside her.
Later, we decided to go to the backstage. Gosh! The backstage was so crowded and that room where Tan Chor Hwee was painting her face was simply too congested. I could not squeeze in at all. My wife and I decided to go another room where Cai Bixia of the Chinese Opera Institute and Chen GuoLai were busy preparing for the performance. We have a short chat with them.
After a short while, Tan Chor Hwee was ready for photo shoot. She was dressed in civilian. Her fans were just too many and they took turn to take pictures. The photo taking was done quite orderly. I decided to take one with her too. My wife helped me with the photo shoot. I also managed to take one for Susie. It was a great shot indeed. I also took a picture with Yu Lili.
The performance commenced with Tan Chor Hwee singing 高山流水情无涯. It attracted a big round of applause and many fans blew whistle to endorse her performance. She put up 赵少卿选段梦魂, 白玉扇, 蓝继子哭街, 蓝继子遇兄 and 孙安动本
At the end of the performance, the organizer made special arrangement for Chor Hwee’s fans to go on stage. I helped Susie and Edmund to take some pictures when they present bouquets of flowers to Tan Chor Hwee.
又是一个令人难忘的夜晚。 陈楚蕙和她的搭档又为大家献出精彩的潮剧演出。抵达牛车水人民剧场时已经将近傍晚6点半。今晚和太太以及岳母一起观赏潮剧。 今晚也是太太第一次和来自温哥华的林先生和林太太见面。林先生的眼力真不错，我不在太太的身边时，他竟然认得出她。过后，我们决定到后台去看偶像。哇！后台很热闹，人山人海。陈楚蕙正在化妆的房间更不得了，人多到挤不进。 我们便转道到另一间房间找戏曲学院的蔡碧霞和新加坡著名老生陈国来聊天。问国来当晚演什么，他说你看过的梦魂荷蓝继子遇兄。
不一会儿，陈楚蕙打扮好了，影迷们排队和她一起拍照。这是千载难逢的好机会，我岂能错过，于是叫太太帮我拍一张照片。我也帮林太太拍一张照片。效果还真不错。
陈楚蕙一出场便唱‘高山流水情无涯’，观众的反应非常热烈，又鼓掌又吹口哨。 陈楚蕙和陈国来再一次演出赵少卿选段梦魂，这次很顺利的拍了这出折子戏的短片。陈楚蕙在白玉扇里以女妆演出，在蓝继子哭街市的乞丐装，让人捧腹大笑。热心的观众还拼命的把钞票往台上丢。最后一段折子戏是孙安动本。
在演出结束前，主办单位安排一些朋友上台献花。在林先生和林太太献花给陈楚蕙时，我也替他们拍了一些照片。
