Hong On Papers Again! : Jan-10

In our family, Hong must have appeared the most number of times on the local papers; next is Mummy, whose count is, i think, one; the rest of us, none.. Or was Papa with his choir team featured before too? Hmm.. gotta check with him.

Next month, Hong or Trey as he is outside-the-family-known, will be putting up a Chinese musical produced by Jiu Jian（玖健）. Well, this isn't Hong's first public performance (he had countless i think!).. or his first musical (though i can't afford to support all, did see him a couple of times alright).. or Chinese musical (ya, a Lao Jiu production too!)..

So what izzit about this upcoming production? Well, my brother is the lead! Unlike his first movie years ago where he was the second lead in a 3-member cast, his name appears as the first on the Cast of 《Re:Kindle Love》! So, even as a no-income homemaker, even though the show dates are so near the veri-busy pre-CNY period, even though I'm not exactly sure where is the show venue, I will bug & bug Victor to get us the tickets to see my little brother's performance for sure! Hey whoever's reading, please support too? It's only $48 per ticket without the dinner package..

Now, a little more about this first-of-its-kind Mandarin theatre-musical. Here is The Straits Times feature, as well as the 《Re:Kindle Love》publicity postcard.. but before that, the official storyline of the musical in both lingo.

《再见爱》以“爱”为主轴，讲述一个患绝症但却还是积极生活的年轻男子，他的爱的旅程及乐观情绪，使如何在不知不觉中，改变了女主角一家人看似暗淡无光的生活。它提醒着我们要保持乐观，珍惜眼前所拥有的一切，然后再创奇迹。

《Re:Kindle Love》 is a tale about promised love that is destroyed under devastating circumstances. It celebrates the optimism and hope that springs from true love, which is shared by a courageous man with those whom he loves during the journey of his life. Most of all, it reminds us to cherish our present and our lives, and to stay positive no matter how tough the going gets.
