(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.

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

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....
