11/11/2009(Wed) 农历9月25日: Today We went to Hougang Opp Blk 708 to watch getai. We are very familiar with this area also as we alway alight at this bus stop to transfer bus to Kovan.

Today is not bad. The host Ah Nam and Pei Fen combination are excellent - second time see them host together.

Today singers are Tan Kai Qing (first singer that i had miss her singing), Lee Bao En, Zhang Xiong , Xiao Ting, Zhuang Qing Yu, Lu Wei Lun, 2Z Sisters and Xiao Ling, Ho Pei Ling, Huang Zi Qiang.

Today is also Lee Bao En birthday. Her fan, John (he had a facebook account too) had esp bought a birthday cake for her. Actually Bao En fans had set a discussion in her facebook group and requested a mini celeberation for her. It was John whom bought the cake after confirming that Bao En is singing tonight. So thougthful of John to think so detail.

I had taken two videos today - one is the one sing by Zhang Xiong and Bao En, the other is Wei Lun - No 3 Mummy but toward the ending i had to cut off the video as my hand is too numb trying to hold my camera still.





2Z sisters - like my sister and I, the bigger frame is actually the younger sister. Younger sister here is now 11 year old while elder girl is in P6.

Their 台湾民谣 is quite good but they had sing this song also at the Dou Mu Gong temple.


Xiao Ting


Xiao Ting sing


Xiao Ting giving 庄清玉 a hug, they were supposed to sing a song but the summon guy came along and Xiao Ting need to shift her car away.




庄清玉, mum enjoy his songs very much.


Ho Peiling


Ho Pei Ling was singing her most special song 阴府咒.



Zhang Xiong with Pei Ling




As today getai is just next to private estate, the host had to ensure the getai stop at 1030 sharp so today singer had to sing duel with the next coming singer. Zhang Xiong had sing with Pei Ling


Lee Bao En, She looked like a pretty princess. Heard from her fans she love Hello kitty, we are all cats lovers ler but one is a no mouth cat while my own cats love to talk non-stop - MEOWwww


John - Bao En die hard fan- had went up the stage to present Bao En with a birthday cake. Today 11/11 is also her 17th birthday.



While the host were talking, Poor John was trying to protect the candle light from blowing off, he was actually using his hands to shield the frame from going off, very cute young guy. Think he must be wishing Bao En can blow off the candle light quickly.

Huang Zi Qiang, i heard that he had change his name but i am not too sure how is his name spelt so i can only use the name given in STOMP singapore to get his name that is as the one i wrote.

He is also capable of singing both female and male voices.

Whereever Lu Wei Lun went, audience always request him to sing No 3 Mummy like today.

Last singer Xiao Ling only get to sing two combined songs with the hosts.

Getai Performance @ Blk 632 Bedok Reservoir Rd - 07/11/2009 农历9月21日, Host: Wang Lei 王雷 Band 飞航 --丽星舞台秀

Jennifer say:




07/11/2009 (Sat) 农历9月21日: Today we went to watch getai. It was an unplanned outing as i initally thought that mum would like to watch Gezaixi. I had thought that it will be a far journey. Surprisely, the journey itself is not that far, we just need to take Bus 76 and transfer bus at Paya Lebar (the stop before cheng huang temple) to take either bus 66, 8 or 22. We alighted at the stop in front of blk 133.

Mum's old neighbour were there also, she is very nice to find two chairs for mum and Me. Shortly after i sat down, a fight occurred behind me. Apparently, the old uncle was unhappy with the young uncle for stopping his view, they pushed each other behind my back. mum pushed me to the back behind her. Luckily nothing serious occured after the organiser came to resolve the issue. Watch getai still wan to fight, very barbarian behaviour.

As today is an unplanned trip, we arrived at the area at around 8.30pm. Today getai is for "Golden age Celeberation Night" where there are a dinner function going on. Host 王雷 is as usual very funny as i mentioned before but must mentioned time and time again, it is a joy to have him as a host. Today singers are 陈凯晴, 林晓婷, 麦卉,方芳, 庄清玉, 廖文凯。 Today guest of honour is Mr Zainul Abidin Rasheed, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

First time heard 廖文凯 sing. He is also one of Wang Lei student, he is under Wang for 9 months. Wang Lei had spoke a bit about 廖文凯 history. He is only 9 this year, he used to skip school to watch getai till his mum spoke to Wang whom then advised 文凯 to attend lesson. Meanwhile Wang had taught 文凯 how to sing. 文凯 was missing from getai for a short while as he is having exams, Wang do not want him to neglect his exam, his results are not too bad - Math and Chinese all score above 90 m but for English, he failed at 24m but he is improving when he's willing to attend lesson. Find that Wang is really a good teacher that is willing to pass his skill to his students like Zhen Ying Ying, Tan Kai Qing and 文凯. In fact, most 'junior singers' esp Hao Hao show a great deal of respect to Wang.

BTW, if anyone of you are familiar with facebook, Wang best pal Zhong Yao Nan now had a facebook account. Wang had said that Ah Nan daughter had opened a account for her dad yesterday. Beside blogging, i also love facebook esp when i meet ppl with similar interest group like getai or cats. It is also from facebook that i get to know the location of getai.





方芳 From Malaysia. Her imitation of Yao Su Rong is very close to real singer.


Xiao Ting





麦卉





廖文凯 and VIP, Mr Zainul Abidin Rasheed. Mr Zainul had sing Hokkein song with Wen kai.




Tan Kai Qing
