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!
