一年一度的香港小姐選舉快將舉行，令我想起一位欣賞的友人。朋友是某屆的香港小姐，很多粉絲(Fans)問她參選面試時怎樣可以突圍而出。香港小姐的口號是“美貌與智慧並重”，她真的具備。她的美態是自然流露的：她對社會時事關注，熱心公益，聰明伶俐、有陽光的笑容是可愛的美。她的美不流於俗套：目標清晰，有理想抱負，眼神堅定有自信，談吐大方得體，有內涵是智慧的氣質。當然所有比賽都要配合天時、地利、人和的，她的整體表現很容易給觀眾及評判留下深刻印象，善良健康的形象為她帶來了獎項。
朋友其後順理成章成為電視台的合約藝人，主持及參演不同的節目劇集。工作雖然繁忙，但她仍抽空參加各類演藝課程，最近更遠赴深圳、北京三個月，參選將由名導演執導的大型劇目【紅樓夢】全國選秀。據說除地獄式訓練普通話外，在北京每天上下午都有表演課及台詞課等，古裝劇會用古代人的感覺去演繹，要唸古詩呢！古詩裡面的字讀的跟平常的普通話不一樣，她說有些字連廣東話也不會讀，要查它的含意解釋，並把拼音、聲調統統標出來，然後再背誦。人家背一小時的，她要背上三小時！還有唐詩、宋詞的考察．．．
賽果不太重要，妳比別人多上了可能一輩子都沒有機會上的一課，替妳感到很驕傲高興。妳還替香港人增光呢，真是名副其實的香港小姐！

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me
Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……
“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.
“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!
“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
