Hi!!
By now you should know what I'm going to talk about..
Haha..
Okay, we had our Drama training today..
It was reeaally fun!!
We went into the hall and left our bags in the conference room..
Hidayah returned my VCD..
And I lent it to Camillah..
Wali and Fatin also wanted to watch so Camillah was going to watch with Wali since they were neighbours..
Then Fatin is next, and Haiyatul next..
Haha.. Wow..
Anyway..
First, Shaiful got us to pair up..
I paired with Cynthia..(D'oh!!)
We lined in 2 rows, facing our partner..
I was in row A and Cynthia was in row B..
Row A was going to do something..
Anything, and row B were supposed to mirror image their partners, preferably at the same time..
LOL!!
Shaiful paired with Wali and by the time we finished and both rows had done mirror images of each other, Shaiful was already sweating..
Haha!
After that, we swapped partners..
Cynthia swapped with a new girl, I only remember that her name starts with 'T'..
Hehe.. Sorry..
This time, we were going to try to make each other laugh..
Row B started first..
I was sure I was going to lose..
People from church would know especially what I mean..(Hee!!)
But I didn't!!
I just pursed my lips and stared at my partner while she did "Peek-a-boo!!" at me..
I was like, erm..
Haha..
Then we swapped.. I couldn't get her to laugh either..
I even tried untying her shoelace with my shoe..
I just stepped on one side of the shoelace and pulled and it came off..
Anyway, my row had to do a forfeit because after much tweaking and changing of rules while playing, Shaiful decided that if we couldn't get the rest of row B(i.e. Hida and 'T'(??)..) to laugh, the whole of row A had to do a forfeit..
So we did, and Shaiful let the rest decide our forfeit..
Wonderful Wali asked us to act crazy/retarded/mental..
So Cynthia and I took turns tugging on each other's shirts and hair(lightly of course)..
And I took out Cynthia's hairclips..
Then after that, we played 'Freeze'..
First, we had to move around normally and not bump into anyone..
Then after our first un-freezing, we had to move around really fast and try not to bump into anyone.. It was absolutely chaotic!!
After our next un-freezing, we moved around real slow..
Hidayah was just clicking on the fan switch and Fatin stood in front of the fan..
Then Hidayah started laughing and pointed behind Fatin and when she turned around, 'T' was standing behind her as if to strangle her..
Just then, Shaiful decided to shout freeze..
Lol!! So the four of us on that side of the room were like:
Hidayah's finger was on the fan switch and the other hand was pointing toward's Fatin and 'T''s direction..
I was staring at 'T' and Fatin..
'T' was sort of towering over Fatin and Fatin was sort of like cowering away..
You know, like those old-fashioned horror movie stills..
Yeah, so by the time we unfroze, we were giggling like mad..
Then we played another variation of freeze..
This time, when Shaiful shouted freeze, he would say an expression, and we had to 'arrange' our features to fit that expression..
eg. If Shaiful shouts "freeze-angry", we froze and we had to look angry..
But only our faces, we didn't have to do any actions..
I remember some funny expressions, like 'imagine you just fell down the stairs' and 'imagine Taufik Batisah just came to SCS'..
Lol..
Cynthia and I looked really bored, and the rest of the girls looked 'absolutely crazy-excited'..
Then halfway during the freeze, Fatin(who looked 'absolutely crazy-excited') said,"I don't even like Taufik." Lol!!
Then, before our break, we played another activity..
We were going to pretend to be alone in a place..
While Shaiful made up a story, we had to do what he narrated..
I remember what we did:
1. Walking around in SCS
2. Suddenly transported to a desert
3. The heat is stifling and you're feeling extremely thirsty
4. Everywhere you look, you think it's water, but when you put in your mouth, you realise it's only sand
5. Suddenly, you see a bird fly across the sky
6. The bird lands on a tree
7. You realise that under the tree, is an oasis
8. You quickly go over to get a drink
9. While drinking, you realise that a camel also wants to drink
10. You decide to ride the camel
11. While riding the camel, you see a traffic light, in the middle of nowhere..
12. While waiting for the light to turn green, a racing car(Shaiful said a model, but I can't remember what) stops next to you and you realise that there isn't any driver
13. You decide to take the car
14. While driving, the car suddenly stops and you realise you need petrol
15. You get out of the car and try to see if there is any possibility of finding petrol in the desert
16. Suddenly it starts raining
17. Then, it starts raining stones
18. You decide to take shelter in the car
19. You are stuck inside the car and you realise that all the food are expired
20. After five days of waiting for the stones to stop raining, you suddenly find a pack of MnMs
21. After eating, you suddenly see a large foot in front of the car
22. The foot steps onto the car and starts crushing
23. You have no space and is stuck in the car
24. Suddenly, you realise that the cover of the car is mysteriously/miraculously being pulled upward and you get more space little by little
25. Before you can decide what to do next, the car is hurled into space!!
Lol.. Interesting right?
Anyway, after that, we had a break, then we had a sharing session and we found out a few things about Shaiful..
He likes Literature very much..
He told us that when his 'O' Level results came out, his teacher(or principal) went to him and said that he didn't know whether to congratulate or scold him..
Because Shaiful got 2 Distinctions(English and Literature) and 2 Fails(Math and Science)!!
Haha.. Just like me.. I like math and maybe science, but I'm hopeless.. Hee..
Hida said that's good.. 'Cos it's balanced.. Haha..
After that, we did more..
Shaiful picked 3 of us at random..
And he picked Wali(obviously), Camillah, and me(Cynthia said she knew it(!?!?))..
Then, he asked for any 6 sentences and gave 2 of the sentences for each of us..
Wali got 'gimme a break' and I forgot the other..
Camillah got 'the monkey is cute'(I believe whoever gave that was referring to the one on our Christmas tree in the hall..) and I forgot the other..
I got 'i want to sleep' and 'get a life'..
Then we were given characters: a brother and sister and an old man who's a rocker
And a place: at a gig
And a scenario: the brother is a geek who doesn't want to go to the gig but the sister wants to go to the gig and is persuading the geek brother to stay and the old rocker sees that the brother and sister are focusing on the argument more than his music and tries to get their attention..
We were allowed to decide among ourselves who's who..
Wali was the old rocker, Camillah the sister, and me, the geek brother..
Here's the catch: we were only allowed to talk using the sentences given to us..
Halfway during our 'performance', Shaiful decided that we were using too much time so he got the rocker to leave the stage..
Lol.. Camillah kept referring to 'Wali the old rocker' as 'the monkey who's cute'..
Ended up with me telling her to 'get a life' because the gig's over, and that ' i want to sleep', leaving her alone in front of everyone to say that 'but the monkey is cute'..
Haha.. Really good, I thought..
We did the same again after everyone had gone, this time in pairs..
We still had everyone give the scenario and the characters and venue, but instead of sentences, we were given the number of words we had to use in a sentence..
I was paired with Afiqah.. I got 7 words/sentence and Afiqah got 2 words/sentence..
We were on Mars and an astronaut(Afiqah) had just found an alien(me) and wanted to bring it home.. I pretended to be stubborn and sat there..
Then, Shaiful sent Jun Kai in as Buzz Lightyear..
For him, he was only allowed to say 'to infinity, and beyond!!'
So he kept saying that to Afiqah and she kept ignoring him and I pointed at him and Afiqah the Astronaut said to ignore him and he came over to do the same to me and I said(in 7 words, of course, although in broken English so as to fit 7 words..) "we leave him here I go"..
Afiqah nodded and I took her hand and we ran off and left Buzz Lightyear on Mars..
After that, we got Christmas presents!!
Jean asked us to pick a number from 1 to 12 while she went to get the presents and chaos ensued..
Finally Wali decided to do the sensible thing and said each number and see if anyone took it..
I picked 3 as it's sort of my lucky number..
I got a wooden candle holder..
It's actually quite nice..
Camillah got the smallest(she picked 5) but when she opened it, it was actually one of the best: an electronic organiser..
Jian Xin got the biggest(number 11) and he realised it was a whiteboard..
Most of the presents were water bottles: thermal bottles, bottles for putting ice, etc..
Lol, Hussaini got one of those smaller versions of those ice buckets you bring to the beach for your canned drinks, and he produced a pair of sunglasses out of nowhere and pretended to be going to do the beach.. Haha..
Next practice is the Drama training too..
We extended the time because the usual time wasn't enough..
Shaiful wanted to extend the time to start 1/2 hour earlier and end 1/2 hour later..
But we decided on ending it 1/2 hour later instead of extending on both sides..
| You Are a Drama Princess (or Prince) |
You're not over the top dramatic, but you have your moments.
You know how to steal the spotlight...
And how to act out to get your way.
People around you know that you're good for a laugh.
But at times, your drama gets a bit too much for everyone.
Tone it down a tad, and you'll still be the center of attention. |
