(11+1)th Nite

A play, which I always dreamt of watching. Every time I got hooked up with things that hidden me to go for it. This time despite of dilemma in between going back hometown or staying to watch a play, I decided to go with it at last. This play is called as 11+1 nite, a twisted tale based on William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It is a project under their English Literature Class, but they also put this project as charity based.

Imagine with a RM5, you able to watch a play and your RM5 is going to be donated to Taman Megah Handicapped and Disable Children Home. They are not professional, yet they don't have an elegant stage decoration, but their spirit and enthusiasm in acting impact the audience have a satisfactory night.

The theme of the play is comedy, audience can't stop laughing especially the appearance of Orsino, Duke of Illyria, also a character that fall in love into Olivia. I assumed that he was the most funniest character in the play, because of his facial expression and gesture.

Although is a twisted tale, however the story still catch the main element of twelfth night. Olivia is girl induces rival and jealousy among man. Olivia love Cesario (who is Viola who pretended to be a guy); Andrew are triggered to challenge Viola for Olivia.

Olivia's servant Malvolio, was set by Toby, Maria and others. They purposed play on him and claimed that he was possessed. Toby is another important person in the play. He appeared to be a drunker all the time, and be the noisemaker for the whole play. Haha.

On the other hand, Viola has a twin sister, who lost after the shipwreck. Her name is Sebastian who was rescued by Antonio. She mistakenly as Viola, and at last Viola and Sebastian able to reunited.

More details about the story, can refer to Twelth Night

Overall, I was said they really did a good job. The expressiveness of character is all what we wanna see in the play. They probe the audience to laugh and laugh..perhaps if added in more love emotion element inside, will able to create more touching moment for the audience to remember.

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

How to train your dragon (Movie)

If you said it is a waste to watch animation or cartoon in cinema, I will reject your idea. Firstly, most of the animation strongly project good moral ethics or values for the reference of audiences especially children. During the childhood, children ought to differentiate the right and the wrong distinctively, neither grey area nor in between. Value always serves as a guideline for us to oblige, not a compulsory because decision is still lied in the hand of human. This movie secretly intruded my deepen heart. It talked about relationship, a bond between dragon and human. The main character, Hiccup chose to save the night fury (dragon) because he saw the fear from its eye. Even a human, we got attracted or closer with people who are similar to us because we feel we able to understand each other better compared to differences. The flow of movie discussed the process of rejection, acceptance, understand and devotion in a relationship. When we are just a stranger for each other, we are re...
