Today Mr. Rey is gonna teach new lessons and he said is characterization. Cool! Wonder is it harder than scene work. Before class starts, I reach campus and went in the classroom. NOBODY IS INSIDE! And I thought today's class cancel because its gonna 8am. Well, eventually everybody is kinda came late a bit but they made it on time.
Warm up again~ ( I always use this to wake myself up). Imagine scene and act a character. This time Mr. Rey more focus on Malaysian style. I noticed that Mr. Rey kinda like Malaysia a lot and I think that Mr. Rey also like the way that Malaysian talk. HAHA! He orders us act as a Malaysian. After that, Mr. Rey freeze us and he chooses each of us to act again then random movement. I run like a comedian LOL! Then freeze again, another scene. This time is act as a standard 1 student- Malaysian. I act what I really experienced when I was at that age. I cried because I don't want my parents to leave me. After that, Mr. Rey do the same thing again but this time he wants us to act previously what we do and then freeze us and he calls us to use all the words that we spoke just now and use it in the primary school scene. Looks awkward but Mr. Rey only chooses two people to act.
No longer, Mr. Rey told us about today's lesson and he brought some sort of utensils box and I saw a wig. HAHA! So I'm sort of know what is going to happen but what amaze me is Mr. Rey actually brought masks. Those masks are like what I watch in TV programme like those magician playing with their cards and wearing with those masks. And some of them are like those centuries statue, I don't know how to describe that. Mr. Rey then explains that the masks are holy to the actor and we can't use our hands to touch them and also Mr. Rey tells us that when we put the mask on, let the mask determine your character. Mr. Rey then demonstrates for us once. He wears the mask and then he became an old man. An angry old man. After he finishes his acting, he took off his masks and he become his own self back.
Now is our turn, I hardly remember who came out and act 1st but I remember almost all the character that they established. 1st is the sexy character and the other is boring one. Then comes with dancing character and the other is a beggar. Mr. Rey also make this exercise more interesting, he asks us to give them a name and we can ask them a request. After that, a inner beauty girl with a popular guy. This time, we're running out of time so Mr. Rey give them a scene and then is my turn. I act as a Malaysian boyfriend and Leanne is my girlfriend also Malaysian and we're having vacation on Paris after that, we walk to a restaurant to have lunch and I try to kiss my girlfriend but she don't want. So we sort of argue and then the waitress-Vhina come and help us out and give us a drink and we get "hot" and we make out. Take the mask out, Oh God! I finally can breath fresh air!
Class end!

Just another day
23 March 2012 ( Friday)
Today is my "2 assignments need to present day", feeling not energetic 'cause not enough sleep yesterday. Yesterday my briefing sleep I took about more than half an hour and I finally managed to get to light sleep stage and that time is almost 12am. Crap!
8am sharp, class starts. Warm up again~ Walk vigorously, dance, imagine that something danger besides you... Well, this exercise Mr. Rey will give us a signal ( bang the table) that when we will move freely ( do whatever movement you want) and he also will give a certain scene for us to act. After a scene, he'll call us to freeze and he will give us another scene and he also wants us to continue the scene with the freeze movement that we previously did. We walk then crawl then freeze then new scene. This exercise ends about 15 minutes.
Exciting and nice exercise began. Mr. Rey wants us to get the nearest partner and also like last week's exercise. He wants us to cooperate with reaction not conversation and began any scene. My partner is Sam again, this time my scene is I saw an accident and I want to help the victim whereas Sam just stand aside and nervous then I'm pissed off that Sam didn't do anything so I ordered him to call the ambulance. " Freeze!" Mr. Rey stops us and just like the previous exercise, he wants us to use our freeze movement to continue a new scene. This time Sam is making a shy boy scene, he tells me that he like that girl and I encourage him to take action. "Freeze!", so fast? Now what?
Mr. Rey now make a new exercise. I think is almost like a "Give and Take" exercise. At 1st, 2 people will act their own scene then Mr. Rey will shout out freeze then one of us will have to volunteer to come out and tap either 2 of them and replace their action. After that, began a new scene but we can't say NO in the scene 'cause we will cut the scene and interesting part. Wei Lim and Joshua are the 1st who act their scenes. Wei Lim seems like a loan shark and he grabs Joshua's collar asking him to give his money back. "Freeze!" after that Sam tap Wei Lim and he imitates Wei Lim's freeze movement. Unbelievable, they actually make a love scene. Eww! No longer, Mr. Rey shout freeze and if not mistaken I think is Lycel come in and she taps Joshua. Another new scene that is couple argument about sex. After that is Vhina, she taps Sam and they began a scene I think is an argument about chicken. Then is my turn, I tap Lycel and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. So I just randomly say " Yo! Wassup" and Vhina just answer me back " Yo!" LOL! And I don't know what came in my mind and I started to teach her dancing. Ya! She don't know how to dance so I teach her. Relationship in this scene- Teachers and students.
Ehhh...Oh shit! I can't remember who's next but I know the end of this exercise is me and Eric and he shot me. After that is the assignment presentation time. I thought we need to present 2 of them but we just need to present the latest one. HAHA! Nice! Okay, from the whole presentation that other groups did. I feel that our scene is very weak, so I ask Zong Yong whether want to change our scene but he insists it. No idea then.
Now is our turn, I just present it and I know this scene has a lot of weakness so I just stay silent when Mr. Rey asks questions. But some of them comment that if we act as room mate is better than what we act just now. So I act as the straight guy whereas Zong Yong act as the sissy guy and we hate each other. And Mr. Rey improvise us a lot and we finally finish it. CLASS END!

Another crappy and exciting day
19 March 2012 ( Monday)
Crap! Crap! Crap! What the hell! I Miss the bus. Put the blame to the train. I've wasted RM15 on a taxi and the actual price to campus is around RM 8 ( If the taxi driver use the meter). And holy shit! The taxi driver say is cheap because 2 people only cost RM7.50 each. Lucky Vhina is with me so we can share the money.
Arrived at campus, walk in classrooms. This time my mind is spinning about the Friday's assignment and today's meeting for rehearsal. Oh! Zong Yong is here! Great! Before the class starts, Zong Yong and me discuss about the Friday's assignment and book about 10 minutes play. Zong Yong never make any move yet, hmmmm... Never mind. He promised that he will read it.
Mr. Rey is here! Wonder what exercise will he give today. Before the class starts, he wants a full scape paper and lucky I have one. So I gave it to Mr. Rey. Wonder what he wants to use with that thing for our exercise. As usual we warm up and shake ourselves out. After that, this exercise is so way cool! Is like our childhood game called " The Eagle Catch The Chicks". This childhood game is like an eagle wants to try to catch the chicks whereas the mother will try to protect them. 1st, Mr. Rey calls us to walk around. After that, Mr. Rey calls my name and I don't know what happen, everyone is trying to avoid me. I'ma like WHAT? One of my friend told me that I need to catch them. Fine! This is easy for me. HAHA! I touch Lih Seng or Leanne I forgot, either one of them and of course we switch character. They need to catch us. After that, this exercise is getting interesting. Mr. Rey change the rules of the game, he wants the people who been caught will join them and they need to shout out the numbers of their members. Oh yeah! Bring it on, I'm good in dodging. HAHA! This game continues about half an hour and is getting more and more exciting. Oh ya, Mr. Rey also narrowed the space of this game because he don't want everyone is running behind the mirror. Now only left 2 of us, me and Adam. "Let's do this man!" Adam give me a high 5. "Survivors" game start! We run together and we stuck together. At last, I'm the one who escape from the caught. HAHA! Mr. Rey announces " The winner is..." He points me. HAHA! Its been a long time that I've this kind of feeling.
No longer, Mr. Rey hands each one of us a full scape paper and he orders us to be in our assignment group and take a pencil or pen. After that, Mr. Rey calls us to write a normal sentences whatever comes into our mind. I wrote " I'm enjoying playing guitar.". Next, we gonna tear that and fold it. Is like a ballot for me. After that, Mr. Rey wants an exclamation sentence. I wrote " What the hell!". This continues with a question sentence- " Why game is so fun to play with?" This sentence really makes me feel I'm a weirdo, almost half of the class is like " HUH!?" when Mr. Rey say it out loud. Is there anything wrong with this sentence? Or is there any grammar mistakes? Ishh! Last, Mr. Rey wants a title of a song,book or a movie. I wrote " I Won't Give Up"
Now, Mr. Rey will randomly pick a paper and we need to write it down as a script.
Script
A : Girl! Hold ma poodle!
B : Will you go out with me on Saturday?
A : I hate your guts!
B : The car just took a corner at a 100 miles per hour.
A : What the hell!
B : Why game is so fun to play with?
A : Have you taken the pills yet?
B : I enjoy singing in the bathroom.
A : What did you have for your lunch?
B : I look into the mirror.
A : I'm about to go on stage.
B : Enter Sandman.
After we write down the script, Mr. Rey as usual wants us to read it with our partner then we've to act with high status and low status. This exercise is similar with previous one. I found out that this time, me and my partner cooperate more and we've more reaction than last time. Next, Mr. Rey wants the scene to be flirting. OMG! This is gross, NOT AGAIN! But no choice. This time, we act more GAYIER! Eww! But Mr. Rey seems happy. HAHA!
Class is going to end and he wants us to rehears more on this and make our own scene. This is our assignment. CRAP! 2 assignment we need to present on this Friday? Ow man!
Saturday 17 March 2012
Unlucky
16 March 2012 ( Friday)
Today is the worst day that I ever had. Almost the whole exercise that Mr. Rey teach today, I actually didn't have any idea at all. I mean I can't think of anything. What a pain!
That day before Mr. Rey starts the assignment, he gives us a briefly warm up and exercise. 1st, he orders us to group with our own partner and we have to say the lines in the script that he previously gave us. He orders us to rehears our own scene. After that, he wants the scene to have a change based on 1 people's action and he don't want it to be a conversation. This is totally a mess for me, I don't know what to do and my partner, Zong Yong always do the same emotion and action. I think about the change of the scene about more than 30 minutes and I think of loan sharks. Lucky man! I notice a little change of the scene. Next, Mr. Rey wants us to have a combat conversation I think, he orders us to grab each others hands and say the lines with anger. This scene I imagine it was a fight between father and mother.
No longer this exercise end and he calls us to prepare our props for the assignment. We're fully prepared but we actually screw up. I act as a surgeon whereas Zong Yong act as a patient. I don't know that surgeon doesn't give anaesthesia and I screw up this whereas Zong Yong said that the patient want to die during the surgery OH GOD! I totally stunned! Seriously I don't know what to say and I also noticed that Mr. Rey also found out weird and he asks him a bunch of questions and he can't answer, even I also don't know how to answer. Mr. Rey gave us another chance to change the content of our scene ( Operating Theatre).
After that, we think of a new idea. I still remain as the surgeon but Zong Yong become the nurse and now our story is about the surgeon don't dare to operate the patient because of 1st timer and the operation is a serious operation. However, Mr. Rey also don't agree this because he said that surgeon doesn't scare of doing operation. He gave us a tips that in this scene doesn't must be a doctor operates the patient and he gives us an example that we can play the doctor gloves in the operating theatre.
I get it! I wanted to break our conversation into few conflict within the scene but Zong Yong said that he'll think of others. Ok then, he found 1 and I also agree it but Mr. Rey stop it because our class times up. Ish! I hope time can pass slower.
Mr. Rey wants us to do it again next week with other scenes. Our other scene is "Bedroom". I hope we can do it better next week. Ish!

Exciting Day
12 March 2012 ( Monday)
Today I almost, ALMOST can't wake up from my sleep but what a lucky me. My grandma shake me up like she is shaking a doll. From the whole journey to campus, all what I want is a good sleep so that I can can concentrate and have more energy in theatre class.
Nice! I've reached at campus about 7.20am and I still have a little time to sleep in class. HAHA! I walk into the class and some of the students already arrived. So, I pick a slot and then straight go to sleep but I can't really sleep because some of the students at there talking. OMG!
Very fast, the class starts and we greet Mr. Rey. Mr. Rey then asks us about the mid term and any comments or criticize of it. I don't have any comments because I think that my mid term is good enough. Normal activity before the real lesson starts-warm up. This time's warm up is a bit special, we hit our face, massage our lips, hit your chest and others. I saw someone hit his face damn hard and he actually "OW!". HAHA! After that, Mr. Rey orders us to find a partner and then "wake" each other up through hit each others bodies. LOL! This warm up end up a fighting exercise.
Now only the lesson starts, Mr. Rey asks whether we've already paid the photocopy fees to Celine and some of them haven paid yet. Never mind, Mr. Rey then assign the students into group. 1st is the Wednesday group students then the Friday group. My teammate is Zong Yong and for my impression of him, I think he is quite a cooperative guy. Then, Mr. Rey gave each group 2 books and he calls us to find any play in the book within 2 weeks and if not mistaken we need to perform in front of the public. That's cool.
No longer, Mr. Rey gives us a script and then calls us to get back in our group that he previously assigned. After that, he calls us to pick a character in the script and then just read it. The reading that Mr. Rey wants is without any meaning of it. Then this exercise continue with high status and low status. At 1st is A be the high status and then switch status. Next is the silence beat, every sentence we say must have at least 1-3 seconds silence.
Now, this is fun. Mr. Rey orders the A's students to stand up and be a big bully sort of and the B's sit down. Then we switch character and then Mr. Rey says that after the big bully bullies enough, the B's should walk away from the big bully. After that, the big bully try to reconcile with the B's.I found out is kinda hard sometimes because some of the character doesn't really express their character from the script and every sentence in the script is only 1 word. After that, is the flirty scene and then the bed scene. This is really GAY! OMG! But me and Zong Yong like can cope it. HAHA!
Class is going to end, before that Mr. Rey gave us another assignment that is based on what we did just now and we also must follow the script and we can repeat the words. My group, Mr. Rey gave the scene is Operating Theatre and Bedroom. GREAT! Again, bed. OMG!

Friday 9 March 2012
Mid Term Exam
9 March 2012 (Friday)
Today is a big day for me! And I gonna perform it well with my partner, Sam ( Korea guy). I can say that Sam is a joker, so he suggests me to write a little jokes in our script. Ok, I try to and we rehears it with 2 days and total hours is 1 and a half.
Today, as usual I came early to campus and then I also told Sam that we rehears it again in the class about 7.30am. YES! He arrived and he showed me his props that I told him and everything is perfect. So, we rehears again and we also asks for others students opinion and most of them say is ok.
Mr. Rey is here! Finally! I really want to get out of this test as soon as possible. This time, I don't know what happen to everyone, everyone actually greets Mr. Rey very loud LOL! After that, Mr. Rey starts his dramatic moment and he orders us to warm up ourselves and start rehearsing again for our mid term.
After a few minutes, Mr. Rey gathers us and he calls us each group pick a number between 1-4, I pick 2. GREAT! The last group to perform, HAHA! The 1st group is Lycel and Zong Yong. Zong Yong act as a private detective and his attire can say is almost lookalike and he bring out this character by the way of putting his legs on the table. LIKE A BOSS! Whereas Lycel act as a rich woman and she is going shopping. That shopping scene can proves with the way of putting the blocks and the high heel shoes. The whole phone conversation is talking about the detective actually threatening the woman for paying him double the amount of her husband give so that he'll not spread the woman's scandal to her husband. I feel that this conversation is a bit weak because Lycel actually at there shuffling her feet and some words from Zong Yong I can't hear him.
Next, is Vhina and Joshua. At 1st, Vhina set some sort of cloth like on the floor whereas Joshua in the office. I thought Vhina is acting as a beggar but she wasn't. After the whole conversation finishes, I only found out that she is in the camp. Overall, this phone conversation is about a girl (Vhina) is very concern about the environment and she complaints that a company which says to protect the environment but the company didn't do what they suppose to do.
After that, is David and Eric's turn. Their phone conversation I'm not really clear about because I'm at the backstage preparing for my props but what I know is, their conversation is all about sex stuff. LOL! I can feel that, their performance is awesome! Last, finally is me! Be cool. After that, I signal Sam to enter the stage together. Sam acts as a taxi company receptionist whereas me is a mid 20 guy name called Adam that is planning to propose to his girlfriend. This whole phone conversation is about Adam called the taxi company receptionist and he in a rush for his big date but the receptionist feel irritated because Adam is disturbing his lunch time and the receptionist is being apathetic and he told to Adam that that is no taxi around his area and then the receptionist hang up. What I feel surprise is, we improvised it and I satisfied of my performance.
Now is Mr. Rey comment time. He told to my group that he like our entrance but we end it too suddenly and when he asks me 1 question, " What do you do for your living?" I actually answered wrongly but he thinks that I didn't prepare enough. What I heard of the last word is " leaving" that's why I answered wrongly. Never mind and sorry Mr. Rey >.<
Today is a big day for me! And I gonna perform it well with my partner, Sam ( Korea guy). I can say that Sam is a joker, so he suggests me to write a little jokes in our script. Ok, I try to and we rehears it with 2 days and total hours is 1 and a half.
Today, as usual I came early to campus and then I also told Sam that we rehears it again in the class about 7.30am. YES! He arrived and he showed me his props that I told him and everything is perfect. So, we rehears again and we also asks for others students opinion and most of them say is ok.
Mr. Rey is here! Finally! I really want to get out of this test as soon as possible. This time, I don't know what happen to everyone, everyone actually greets Mr. Rey very loud LOL! After that, Mr. Rey starts his dramatic moment and he orders us to warm up ourselves and start rehearsing again for our mid term.
After a few minutes, Mr. Rey gathers us and he calls us each group pick a number between 1-4, I pick 2. GREAT! The last group to perform, HAHA! The 1st group is Lycel and Zong Yong. Zong Yong act as a private detective and his attire can say is almost lookalike and he bring out this character by the way of putting his legs on the table. LIKE A BOSS! Whereas Lycel act as a rich woman and she is going shopping. That shopping scene can proves with the way of putting the blocks and the high heel shoes. The whole phone conversation is talking about the detective actually threatening the woman for paying him double the amount of her husband give so that he'll not spread the woman's scandal to her husband. I feel that this conversation is a bit weak because Lycel actually at there shuffling her feet and some words from Zong Yong I can't hear him.
Next, is Vhina and Joshua. At 1st, Vhina set some sort of cloth like on the floor whereas Joshua in the office. I thought Vhina is acting as a beggar but she wasn't. After the whole conversation finishes, I only found out that she is in the camp. Overall, this phone conversation is about a girl (Vhina) is very concern about the environment and she complaints that a company which says to protect the environment but the company didn't do what they suppose to do.
After that, is David and Eric's turn. Their phone conversation I'm not really clear about because I'm at the backstage preparing for my props but what I know is, their conversation is all about sex stuff. LOL! I can feel that, their performance is awesome! Last, finally is me! Be cool. After that, I signal Sam to enter the stage together. Sam acts as a taxi company receptionist whereas me is a mid 20 guy name called Adam that is planning to propose to his girlfriend. This whole phone conversation is about Adam called the taxi company receptionist and he in a rush for his big date but the receptionist feel irritated because Adam is disturbing his lunch time and the receptionist is being apathetic and he told to Adam that that is no taxi around his area and then the receptionist hang up. What I feel surprise is, we improvised it and I satisfied of my performance.
Now is Mr. Rey comment time. He told to my group that he like our entrance but we end it too suddenly and when he asks me 1 question, " What do you do for your living?" I actually answered wrongly but he thinks that I didn't prepare enough. What I heard of the last word is " leaving" that's why I answered wrongly. Never mind and sorry Mr. Rey >.<

Tiring but end up excited
5 March 2012 ( Monday)
Seriously very very very tired when I try to get out from my bed at the time of 5.30am. Why? Because I didn't have enough sleep yesterday and very regret I read a book during my bedtime. Ish! I think I can't perform well for the theatre class later. My eyes are so heavy now.
I've slept through out the whole journey to campus and I still can't get rid of my sleepiness. Ish! But no choice I force myself to be awake. No long after I enter the class. This really makes me awake, our class is like under renovation. WTH!? And of course I was waiting for other students' reaction when they arrive. HAHA! All of their reactions were very funny when they arrived include Mr. Rey! HAHA! Orders from Mr. Rey, keep those things off and keep our class back to normal. LOL!
Ya! We all cooperate to "clean" this mess. After the "cleaning" and Mr. Rey starts the lesson and suddenly a bunch of Taylor's workers bump into our class. Mr. Rey was actually quite pissed off about this. Before we warm up, he asks us the same thing. " Any questions for the mid term?" Well none of us answered it.
Warm up starts and today almost all the exercises is for our mid term. At 1st is the exercise of voice control, Mr. Rey wants us to make a "hmm" sound and with tunes. After that with "ahhh" and our class end up like a choir seriously. Exercise continues with find a partner and sing " I Love You" 3 words with high tune and low tune and then " I Hate You".
Next, Mr. Rey calls us to walk around as usual and he gives us a condition and imagine it then we just talk what we want to talk. After that, Mr. Rey wants us to find the nearest partner and talk simultaneously. This exercise continue with switching partner while talking. After that, one talks and the others listen whereas the people who listen need to get a key point from the people who talks and use that word to start your own topic.
This exercise is very long man, it continues with mirror imitation. That is we imitate our partner but we talk our own topic and is quite hard actually because I'm out of topic to talk.
Besides that, Mr. Rey orders us to take a block after that again walk around and talk all the way. This time, Mr. Rey wants us to play voice control so he'll orders us when to whisper and when to talk loud. After that, Mr. Rey calls us to stand on the block and he says that one of us gonna start any topic and the others listen and use the key word from that people who is talking, continue any topic you like. Addition! We can be our own self that is Malaysians. Pity of some foreigners in our class, they can't understand some of our language and they end up don't know how to continue our topic but Mr. Rey gives them to start their own topic.
Alright, now this exercise is gonna be interesting. Now Mr. Rey calls us to find another partner again and sit down together on a block and do the "give and take" conversation with your partner. Me and my partner, David we actually talk about love. He is talking about his wife shot by a Japanese army during World War 2 whereas I'm talking about my love life. After that, Mr. Rey point out a certain group and that group gonna perform for him. When he points our group, David start the conversation 1st and then I cooperate with him with the "give and take" technique.
Last exercise is looks like almost similar but now Mr. Rey gives a new condition and that is imagine any scene and then start a story and end it with a group. Again David is in my group again and add 1 more person that is Lih Seng. Lih Seng suggests us that we act a school office scene, David act as the principal, Lih Seng act as the rebel child whereas me as the child's father. The story starts with the father came to the school from a principal about his son's problem and then the principal complaints about his grades and his doing in school. The father doesn't believe in it and during the conversation between the father and the principal, the son walk out from the office rudely.
As usual, Mr. Rey gonna points the group to perform and our group is the last. We follow what we actually did just now but Mr. Rey wants the condition to be changed. He wants the principal to be strict and whereas the father is scared to the principal. Ya, it end up very funny and David can't stop laughing so we repeat this scene a lot of times.
Class end and Mr. Rey told us that the exercises that we do just now is all gonna help for our mid term. Cool!

Screw Up Day
2 March 2012 ( Friday)
Today I thought I'll give my best shot to Mr. Rey but seems like is NO! And as usual I prepare my script, beat sheet and object exercise. And I know clearly what I'm gonna do later.
Yeah! I screwed up because I can't really show to Mr. Rey that I'm actually in the dance studio and also the 4th wall that I'm using. I treat the 4th wall as a big mirror in the studio and Mr. Rey says that I didn't establish it clearly and my dance steps are like martial arts. Great! Because I'd received a lot of comments of that so I'm fine with it and Mr. Rey also says that I didn't use the space provided properly. GOSH! I sure lose a lot marks because of this minor stuff. Ishh!
After that, he calls Sam to sing any korean song and he sang " Sorry Sorry" and I not really know how to dance this dance but Mr. Rey insists me to dance and use all the space provided. Ok then, hell it up. Who cares, so I just simply dance. Mr. Rey says that he wants that kind of feeling from me. Ok, I'll do it better next time.
Class is going to end and mid term is next week. Cool! This is gonna be tough and my partner is Sam. HAHA! this is gonna be fun. Our mid term is 2 person's phone conversation and the condition is 1 of the them must forced to hang up the phone and call back. Everything is as usual that is the props, scripts and most important is the rehearsal. Class end! See you next Monday Mr. Rey!
