​With one of my Hong Kong friends, we discovered a new Hong Kong style restaurant in Paris. It was opened for less than a month and the interior design really looks like the old restaurants in Hong Kong. Food was okay but not exceptional. After a very Hong-kong-style meal, once we left the restaurant, we realized that we were in fact in Europe walking on a Parisian street and not in Hong Kong!

Last Sunday, I decided to take a day off from my stressful preparation for the Concours de Promotion and enjoy Tosca (Puccini) in Opera Bastille. I loved the opera as usual. The story is very intense and tragic and made me feel so much emotionally.

Back to the Paris Opera!! For the Concours, every dancer must ask an Etoile (a principal dancer) to show them the variation that they've chosen for the Concours in order to have the correct choreography/ version. Yesterday, I asked my "petit pere" Mathieu Ganio to show me the variation from Sleeping Beauty that I have chosen. Our encounter was filmed by a documentary team for a second part of "Graines d'Etoiles" (the Budding Stars). It was especially stressful for me to dance in front of the camera, and in front of an Etoile that I admire very much. 

Starting from today, all the morning classes in the Paris Opera Ballet are divided by grade: male/ female corps de ballet, male/female Coryphees, male/female soloists in order for us to prepare each grade's Concours seperately. I also passed by the Costumes area (la couture) in Garnier to try the costumes for my Concours, and found all the beautiful costumes ready for Swan Lake in December.

Is that Chairman Mao on one of the mugs with his famous quotation: 星星之火,可以燎原 (2nd part not showing)? It looks like that the mugs, bowls and plates are made of iron coated with porcelain like material...

Hi, Wing,

How are you? Long time no write! I have been crazily busy at work and for my personal lift. It seems to me that you are pretty stressful with your dance at your end, right? Take it easy. Life is too short!

Have a GOOD day!
Winnie
