th3 play--The taming of a shrew---Shakespeare

Yesterday I was so free and so bored, thus in order to find some excitement I went or this one play entitled "The Taming Of A Shrew". It is one of the master pieces of the father of literature Shakespeare. Well the play was two hours long and it was localized in the sense that there were more Malaysian sort of stuff. Indian dance in between (may be because the choreographer was an Indian guy) and Malay language here and there. This approach was making the audience to feel close to the play (but pity the Iranians who came…they would be stunned by the Malaysian play production). There were certain good actor and actress but some were (….) sorry to say. As for the plot development, I personally think that the script editor should have done her / his job more carefully. I think it should be more précised and condensed. They were trying to put in everything inside which makes the play draggy. Audiences were tired before the suspense was revealed/ before the play reach the peak. Some of the audiences went off in the second hour. (It wasn’t that bad anyway!) I like the part where the tamer of the shrew used Russell Peter’s line "Somebody going get hurt real bad". I was laughing like no body’s business! Only than I realized that the rest of the crowd did not get the joke and they were damn quite! Just imagine Russell Peter in Shakespeare’s play but no one laughs over it! I did look like a mad person… hahaha! The prop used were limited but I got the justification from the crew member in her starting speech that they had a financial problem and that is the reason why they limited their props. The theme used only reminded me of my very own play "The Darkness". Everything was white and black simply to show the dark and good side of people. However in this play the put forward the notion that whatever is black does not always suggest bad and whatever is white does not suggest goodness. It can be vise versa! This is very much acceptable. As for the sound projection, overall it was good. But there is a room for improvement. Hmm… I think I can be a good critique… ( I do it all the time) I have touched on all the elements I suppose…There is a play going on in KL PAC…I heard it from from my friend…I will be going to watch it very soon I suppose…J

one of the recent inspiring movie i have watched..

The freedom writers! An interesting, motivating and most of all an inspiring movie for all teachers and teacher trainee I would say. The story line of the movie is remarkable! This movie is actually a boost for a person like me. After being so long as a teacher trainee, only this semester (6th) I started to have the strong feeling to become a teacher, to be in the field of education and to serve for the young ones. By watching this movie it has reinforced my recent feelings to be a teacher, a good teacher! This movie definitely has left a very great impact on me.
Even though the situation or the scenario in Malaysian school is not that intense as in the movie but I think such exposure gives me a better idea of the challenge a teacher undergoes and as well as the power of A TEACHER! A teacher can do wonders! They can reform the thinking of the young generation which is extremely amazing. Thus, I came to a conclusion that there is nothing impossible for a teacher…everything is possible!
Basically many good notion and teaching strategy can be grabbed from the movie. The different approach that the teacher, Erin, uses to tackle her students is something to look upon. It gives me an idea that teaching is a process...a learning process for a teacher! Apart from that, the dedication that Erin has towards teaching makes me to salute and admire her. She had to sacrifice many things in life in order to achieve her goal and give the best in her field. She did not regard teaching as a “job”, for her it is beyond that. What counts in this profession is self satisfaction that one gets when the product is out there. I just hope this inspiration in me will never fade but grow for the better!

"gundu" whopps..no la...fleshy...

Hmmm…. I am putting on weight…well one part I think.. I look cute but at the same time I think I look awful… hahahaha… I don’t bother actually… but people’s mouth I tell you… worse part…my stupid friends calling me “gundu” (fatty)when I am not! Putting 1 or 2 kg don’t make u fat… it makes you fleshy! Hahahha… in conclusion I like nope I love my new look… ! count my admirers then you will believe me…hahhaha joke of the year!

family...n me....

Amma miss you….since morning... I have been thinking of you…why arr…. Are you thinking of me? Family bond is so strong that you suffer even when you are not so far from them…when you can listen to their voices and even see them vividly through modern technology…but I personally think nothing can be a substitute the touch and talk…being with loved ones is most pleasurable moments…J

friends...friends.. friends...

Sometimes I wonder…why do we have friends? Then…I don’t give answers for my question. or I don’t put the effort to find one.. well I see myself as a person who is to a certain extent very independent…and I do my things myself…unless I am at home...the place that I am dependent for many things…for love they pour on me…and extra…
I have abundant of friends but the one that I am close with…not many.. I am friendly but I just cant take everyone meaningful in my life… I think without realizing I have hurt few friends in the sense… I don’t perform in the way that they expect me to be. They want me to be VERY VERY VERY close with them.. I just cant do that when I don’t have the same mentality with them… there is no chemistry… and how am I suppose to be close to someone one that I am not keen to share many things… I am extremely sorry… but the worst part would be when people (friends) force you to be very close to them… I tell you it is the shoddier thing that one will undergo in life…the approaches they take might make you to be frustrated! One day I just hope I can be close friend to everyone…accept everyone as my close friends…either way…hahahaha.. I will… not so hard after all… thank you god for giving all of them to me…I am glad I have all of them…. And I hope… I will…I will… soon!!!!! But…1 thing for sure,,,I can even die for my friends,,, (if I am close with them) so be my friend… my close fiend! You will have the opportunity!!!

change for the better....singging a new song..a new tune

I just can’t believe things are changing in me…Jayanthi…is this you? Well I think I have changed for the better. Without realizing I have said to myself that I am a teacher want -to- be! All this while it has been I am teacher-going-to-be but it has changed now... and guess what I like the change! I think I have an identity now…or am I still searching? Let’s put that away.. changes in me? Why? Why? Why? Erm.. the one and only answer Dr. Malachi Edwin Vethamani! The mahaguru of literature, he is a teacher not a lecturer! he has taught and teaching me many things… he has poured many crucial thoughts that sometimes I wonder how he done that in me! Every second…in his class is always a knowledge gaining second! “He” is what I want to be! He is my idol! He is my guru! He once said to me…”don’t kneel to me, I am not your god” But dr.edwin.. you are my god…I see you in such a pure form as You serve knowledge for those who are in hunger of it I just hope I will get the precious chance to be under your supervision for my masters and phd! Only then I will be a master piece!

march 8 political tsunami in Malaysia....i supppose

It is a political tsunami in Malaysia. It is now 9.27p.m and the results don’t seem to be as expected. There is much fall this time I suppose. The opposition is leading. Reading, Kiat Siang’s blog he sounds happy… I am now updating myself through malaysiakini.com which I think reliable. The current government candidates are slowly, one by one going out of the big ship. I am expecting some changes soon in Malaysia but I don’t know whether it is for the better or for the worse. This is my first time voting…such a memorable event in my life... it was nice experience though… gives me the notion that I am someone for the country…I do contribute something to decide the party that will do the service for the country...(Not rule). I have grown up in short! (Which is hard to accept J ) Let us all pray for the best to happen! If it is going to be a big change in the government team…please do not have curfews! I need to go back to my university tomorrow…my dad is bullying me with that…sigh… ;-(
