  1. Picked up a very mouldy, broken, dirty #cassette in #KualaLumpur: a collection of songs by Frances Yip, an absolute #cantopop legend.

    Someone had been inside before, fixing a snapped-off leader tape by just connecting the magnetic tape directly to the reel. The card insert was bent and fox-eared and the jewel case cracked. Parts were covered in insect droppings.

    Replaced the felt pad and rusty screws, spliced in a new leader, straightened the tape shell with heat, cleaned, steamed and pressed the card, replaced the case and slip mats, reglued the labels... the mould came off with a few plays and now it looks and sounds great. It has its battle scars but it's alive and kicking, ready for another 46 years.

  2. Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場(系列工作坊).

    Join for a participatory #theatre #workshop inspired by the work of #DowntownEastside #documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the #Chinese #HeadTax and #ExclusionRedress movement to documenting countless actions against #gentrification and #displacement - Sid’s #art of #activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and #solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of #DTES and #Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.

    Please note, these workshops are 3 hours long.

    Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. #Cantonese and #Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.

    Saturday, November 8th, 4pm-7pm.
    401 Main Street, #VancouverBC.

  3. 🎹 I am a biracial. Now I am staying in Taiwan. I started to play the piano since I was 4 and listening to music can makes me free relax. And music just like architecture is solidification of music, it also can say that music is a kind of space

  4. There is no grammatical #tense in either #Cantonese or #Mandarin, but there are a whopping 39 verb suffixes in Cantonese, including 15 #aspect markers! In contrast, Mandarin has 3 aspect-marking verb suffixes. (For reference: there are 4 aspects in English, of which 3 are marked.)

    #華語#廣東話 一樣,冇 #時態 (tense),但係會用 #動詞後綴 表示 # (aspect,類似英文嘅進行式、完成式)。

    華語只有3種動詞後綴:了、著、過
    廣東話就有39種動詞後綴,包括 15 種「體」:咗、過、落(實現體)、定、緊、吓、住、實、生晒、衡晒、起上嚟、起、得、落(開始體)、開
