Went to the Chinese gardens on Sunday evening after we realised that my dad could not get back in time for us to use the car on Sat. So spent the evening playing mahjong of which i lost $32 after 2 rounds. Thankfully, i fought back on the very last game with a 5 'fan' win and recouped $40. =D
So.. it was a trip to the gardens for a stroll and it is about a 40 minutes drive to that place at Yuen Ching road,i think. Had a wonderful evening with my mom, girlfriend, bro, sis-in-law as we strolled about, admiring the lanterns and chatting away.
We reached just after sunset and at first, the entrance fee of $12 was a bit too hefty in my view, nonetheless, it was all worth it as we were treated to a fantastic performance by a troupe from Sichuan on acrobatic acts, fire-breathing and face changing (變臉). Trying to embed it in my blog, if successful, hope all will enjoy it. Still very amazed at how he would be able to change it instantaneously and i was staring at him all the time. One minute of performance would have required 20 over years of training.
The face changing master was extraordinarily quick with the change. And after some changes on stage, he came down to the audience where he dazzled everyone by shaking hands and changing his 'face' instantaneously without warning. The following clip is while he is on stage.
After the face changing master, is the fire breathing master. Amazed that this guy can hold so much kerosene? or any other fuel inside his mouth or, i dont know where. heh. A handy man to have when having BBQ, that is for sure. the conversation would probably go like this:
me: 'hi, could u toast this mash mellow for me pls?'
fire breathing guy: 'sure! Booooooooooooooo!'
me: 'wah... think you BBQ-ed my hand too!! AAAHHHH!'
Except that the food will be spluttered with his saliva too ..... bleah! =P
