Performer of Causeway Bay

“I’m wearing makeup and costume that I bought in Indonesia for performances and competitions. I’ve just finished buying something here in Causeway Bay and am about to meet a friend so that we can rehearse our dancing and singing some more in Victoria Park. We will be heading out later for an event where we will perform in a group of eight.”
