After doing our 'big' business, we immediately went to do even more rehersals. For some unknown reasons, I just felt more and even more confident through all the last minutes rehersals. I seriously do not like the part where I had to to Antonio's hand. Its not that I hated that person but its that my hand will sweat a lot when I am very nervous. So everytime when I am about to hold his hand, I would have to clean the sweat away first. We were all determined to do well but were all very nervous as well as earlier on that day, we watched one of our classmate's group acting. They had a lot of problems and it was not fluent at all. So we were all even more nervous after watching them performed. One of the group members from that group even cried because Mr Chan suddenly came in halfway through their play.

Soon it was the final showdown... We were all ansious but somehow, as I have mentioned earlier, I was not as anxious as I used to be. The rehersals seem to really build up my confidence.

Soon we were sitted down in the music room and the play was going to start any minute. I kept telling myself, "u can do it!"

After final good luck wishes from people around, our play started! The tension was very high but luckily, the room was air-conditioned, so it was not very hot, hence we did not have any sweat tickling down our body.

Everything went well and I was very happy with it, except for one part. I started dreaming off as it was a very long play and soon it was my turn to speak. However, I was still dreaming but luckily, I suddenly realised that everyone in the play had gone quiet so I quickly said my last few lines and was superbly embarrassed about it. Luckily that short pause was only 1-2 seconds long. PHEW! There was another part where one of my group mate screw up but i was not severe. He was Antonio and during the part where he had to talk about the wealth, he always had problems there, even during rehersals. I cannot blame him though as my scirpt is much more shorter than his. Luckily he manged to continue after 2-3 seconds of silence and all of use had i sigh of relieve.

Soon, the play was FINALLY OVER! YIPPEE!!! (: We were all very happy as the whole scirpt went extremely well. It was a very good and lucky thing that Mr Chan did not came in but i doubt that even if he had came to watch our play, it will not affext our performance. Lady luck must had been on our side on tat day! (:

We had went back to our classroom and went to changed back. Somehow, we felt a little weird when we wore back our uniform. Besides, we seem to miss our play already. I just love to repeat my lines as i just found it fun.

Am i glad that its is over. I would really like to thank my group memebers and all the audience for giving us our support, I really appreciate it. (:





Well, for this play, I was very determined to do well for it as it consist of 70% for the End-Of-Year for Literature exam! I also screwed up the last performance which is about Macbeth which was during Term 2. I was the main person so my other 2 team members will follow what I say. Everything went well except for the last part where i spoke the last sentence first, followed by the last second sentence. I did score well for that play as well so this time round I must do better! Well, for this play, I think that there was not as much time as the previous play to prepare. Or maybe time just passed too quickly and I did not realised it. After two to three weeks of having practice twice a week, which are on Monday and Wednesday.

On the first week of practice, we just started to read off from the paper to get a feeling of how it will be.

On the second week, some of us started memorising the script and soon we were already halfway through the whole script. Our script was The Merchant Of Venice so it was very long.

On the first session of the third week, we planned our props and crops which was rather troublesome. On the second session some of us just continued to memorise the script. Some of us still have not confirmed a character yet.

Soon, it was the September holidays. We were planning to meet up only on Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Tuesday, we had to finalise who was which character. Then we started the full script. I was Bassanio and i exactly 1 week left to remember the whole script. Its was a very good thing i was not Portia or I would have died long ago.

On Wednesday, we went to buy fabrics. We had a hard time as the prices were quite high but we had no choice and spent about $30. Then we went back to one of our group mate's house and think about how are we going to sew the fabrics as all the tailoring stores were too expensive. It cost abt $50 to tailor one peice of clothe!!! That is just totally ridiculous! After a while, we still could not figure a way out so we just continued our rehersal.

On Thursday only a few people turned up as there were CCAs going on so we did not do anything. On Friday, we still could not find a way on how to tailor the fabrics. So we just continued our rehersal. We did not have any rehersals during that weekend.

On Monday we met up after school and started to sew the fabrics our ownselves. We gave up soon as it took about 1 hour for one piece of clothing and the clothing was also quite ugly. Then we decided to just use an easier way out...

On Tuesday, some of my group mates brought in some malay clothings that looks a little old, so we think it suits our play as ours were unmodernised. So our props and crops were FINALLY DONE!!! (: We also did some rehersals.

The final day has arrived and my heartbeat was constant thought the whole day, constantly very high. We went out to buy some extra thing that were needed and started rehersing all the way. Luckily, our group was at 5pm. Although we had to wait a long time, we put the time to good use, in fact very good use. During that period of time, I would really like to thank my group members for helping build up my confidence. Halfway though while changing to our crops, disaster struck, i had an urgent stomachache! Luckily i brought some toilet paper from my house as i knew this always happen s whenever I am very anxious. I was not the only one! Another of my groupmate and even my director had the same issues, so we used my toilet paper that i brought from my house. (:


P.S. The play will be in the next entry post. (:





On the first Literature lesson of the weeks, Mr Chua did not come so we just chatted amoung ourselves during the free period.


On the first lesson of the week, Mr Chua came into our class and gave us a worksheet which is supposed to prepare us for our next essay. The passage we were going to do this time round was the unseen prose passage 2.
