hmmm...it has been a long time since the last time i updated my blog...

my frens keep asking me to update it....ok..ok...but let me find d suitable time...

So the first thing comes up in my mind is to share my experience

during 'Lela Mayang' classical theatre performance.Even though it was held last month

and everyone has written dis topic in their own blog respectively......

but for me myself....i haven't....

so let's talk about it...

First of all thanks for everyone especially da crew (padI members) ,who worked really hard in order to make this theatre a success..

ok..actually it started when one of the padi's members came to me and asked whthr i intrsted to be part of this theatre..guess what..d first answer cme up in my mind was...'i do intrsted but no thnks'..then she asked me to take a look at the script.....and gve my final answer after i read the script..i said 'ok..dont expect anyting from me ya'......

then..after i cme bck 2 my room...for once i read the script..."OmG d storyline of this script is wonderful'.....then for few moments......i thought about d offer...and started talking 2 maself... "dis is a great opportunity..it exists once in a blue moon....n dis is d right time for me to learn about theatre and in d sme time i can polish my potential...if not now for d frst move..when will it be??"so dat nite i decided to join n ready to gve my full commitment 4 dis theatre...guess what i was given a responsibility as an old man called 'Pak Hamid' who could see with his heart not his eyes...

d practise was held everyday...either evning or nite.....it was not really stressfull as we had an enough time to prepare ourself..(d actors n actrsses) .......frnkly spking it is not that easy to become a good actor or actrsses as i think earlier...it is more than you say the words....and it is more than you feel your chracter...thnk God..i hve learnt so mny things through out the prctse session...frm utternces,pronounciation,voice projection, mood n emotion setting and so on...what can i say is thnks for helping me 2 improve myself esp 2 our beloved padi's mama,Mdm Mariah n other lectrs too..

So about two weeks for d prctise in our ipg..we started to prctse at Auditorium P Ramlee a week bfore the peformnce day...dis time we were monitored n taught by the professional theatre activists from another theatre club in penang..... seriously dis time the atmosphre 100% changed when we had a very strain situation esp during our prctse...everything seemd wrong n need 2 be chnged drastically....They did not satisfy with the quality of d perfomnce...as the freshie in this option...i took evrything as new chllnges..evn though sumtimes it hurts me badly emotionally n mentally....but it was part n parcel in learning process..d old people used to sy dat nothing is easy in our life....a lot of scrifies n dtrmintion r required to achieve anyting.......

Alhamdullilah...frm day to day we were getting bettr in our skills n getting closer to one another...i nvr think dat by prtcipating in this theatre would make me closer 2 my senior n junior frm anothr courses like Deakin...ppismp n so on...Seriously...you guys r so sweet n friendly...

hahahaha..once again the sense of prejudice in myself broke ( no need to explain more as i think u guys know wht do i mean).....hmm..gradually i strongly believed that the stigma and gap between another courses in this ipg could be narrowed when we work togther ( togthr..togthr .togthr everyone..qtd from HSM 1)

hmm...finally d day has come...seriously i'm freaking afraid n nervous....most of the lecturers n d students frm my ipg would come and see our prformce....

Thnk God..evrything went smoothly as evryone did their best dat nite...evn though i forgot a line on d frst nite....the crew n actors mnged to cover it..thnks guys....hmmm...but honestly i did not satisfy with my performnce on the frst day....bcos i did not 'all out ' evrything...hmmm then for the final day of performnce...i tried my best to gve evrything to my chrcter n i thought i did it....

Bdw..thnks for evryone who wtched our performnce...and those who gve any comments and praise...Alhamdullilah...i wish i could improve it in future...

For d lecturers n padi members...it was an unforgetable moments in my life...thnks for giving me a chnce to be part of the team...i'm so sorry if i did mistake or hurts anyone esp d busana team for being so demanding (i just teasing n joking..no offence ya)...once again thnks to evryone...i do looking forward to work with u guys again in future...

'They do not, they do not see,

For they see to much and must choose,

We are the fortunate,the dead , the children and I,

For we do not see, For we do not see,

And there is no anger, greed, or lust,

We are the fortunate, the dead , the children and I.

And the wise world moves from violence to violence,

And listens to the voice,

Of the fortunate - the dead, the children and I

( qtd from Pak Hamid's lines - Lela Mayang)

my activity....jerejak trip..

Act...not in d writing mood rght now...but since i've uploaded all the pics at Jerejak island....so i think ,its better 4 me to post sumthing even though i know most of my frenz will post d same topic and pics..heheheh watever..















So, on 11 April 2009, around 31 members from my cohort went to the Jerejak Island....act diz is one of the cohort's activities for diz sem....We only took bout 1o mins to the jetty before we enjoying another 15 mis of boat riding to the island.....since i haven't been to this island before..i'm really impatient and looking forward in this trip...
















After we arrived thre,we gathred at the lobby for the short briefing.....i'm totally impressed with d greenery of this island and the enchanted surrounding and landscape.....it looks totally perfect in my eyes..



since we hve another 1 hour bfore we start our first activity....so my frens n me..spending our time by vandalising all the facilities thre ....act d playground is for the kids...but as we considred we r still childs, so we assume that we can play...its so fun coz it has been a long time since d last time i played at d playground...all d future teachers became children 4 a while....

then,i looked around dat place and took several pics..... heehe..

Ok...our first activity was 'Jungle tracking'. its quite tiring and exhausting ..but i did enjoy this activity.....along the track....we were shown wif d place where the leprosy patients stayed a long time ago (its quite scary ) ...d old dam an so on...we spent almost one hour and half for diz activity...










































Next , our second activity was 'Flying Fox'...we acrross the dam by using d hanging bridge...hehehe.only 5 persons at a time....i enjoyed diz activity but its too short..(blum sempat nak jerit i already landed )...not really satisfied and want 2 try some more next time....we spent lots of time by watching and waiting our friends landed one by one...




























Then....around 12.. we took a break for lunch and Zuhur prayer....b4 we arrvd at d cafe...there was another hilarious incident..(hehehe)..happened where (A****) unpurposely swam in a pool instead of swinging above the water..nvm...nice try..

The food and the service were totally delicious and amazing.....it went beyond from what i expected earlier( i thought we wre going to eat nasi bungkus)...we were served well and the luxurious food r totally delicious....a complete set from d appetizer up until d dessert made me madly full...heheh..frankly speakin...what have we eaten is worth than what we paid for..







After zuhur prayer..we proceed to the next activity which was 'archery'....hhehe..as diz was my first experience ,i'm quite nervous and excited to do it...luckily...out of five shoots..i scored three...one at the black site..d other one at the white site..and suprisingly...i managed to shoot at the yellow site (middle) during my fourth attempt...heheh...(kira oklah for d beginner)...




















Right after that, we moved on to the last activity which was 'wall climbing'.....act i'm quite afraid to try..but as i hve paid for all d activities...why dun't i try first??whther i fail or success to climb up until the top...dat is another matter.....bcoz i believe that we won't know d result b4 we try it with our best...afterall....i've reached to my personal expectation and aim...so i really satisfied compred to my achievmnt at ukhwah camp during my secondary time.....afterall diz activity required me to use lot of physical strength ....and d result was i suffred for few days bcoz both of my hand cramp.nvm at least i've an exprience rthr than none...

so as we fnishd all d activities early, we hve about one hour and half for free activity...i used dat opportunity to chill out my body by swimming in swimming pool...What a relief for me whre all the tiredness move out from my body......i love the bayview that we can see from the swimming pool..


















Then...around 5.15...we already preprd 2 go back to d hostel....evryone lookd tired..but i believe that those who joined this activity r totally have an enjoyable moment and sweetest experience in our life....i really would like to thnks d organizer for diz progrmme...(sport and recreational bureau of student council- yus n mira for ur effrort in making diz trip a success)...i know sum people dun bother to support one another espcially when we try to run an activity bcoz they dun know and understand the dffculties in handling and mnaging a programme..but i personally understand as i hve gone through d same things...nvm..as life is like a circle..they will understand it one day after they face the same situation whre people around them won't bother of wht thr r trying 2 do.....(dis is my personal view..not spcfc to any person....so no offnce yeah....kalau ade yang terase..hmm pham2 sdrilah .....i do not blame anyone but as this is my blog so i'm free to pour evrythings in my mind)....hopfully we can do lots of trip next time....

my activity.....trip to d lost world of Tambun...

hehhehe....act diz trip had been planned in a very last minute after we finished the P.Ramlee nite activity.....since all of us were so tired as we have spent lots of time and energy to this activity....So, right after the event finished....i was thinking to go somewhere in order to relax our body and mind......hmmm..lastly...my rumate,jijul and me decided to rent a car and go for a trip...d question is...where shud we go???hmm...so many things need to be considered like d car itself, the expenses and many more...huhuhu.....after a short discussion we booked the car first.....considered there were only 5 seats in a car..so only five persons could go...(so it must be d lucky one)hehhe...then after the car was in our hand around 1 am....another discussion were held to decide tha place..lastly..the lost world of tambun had been chosen...and we divided the task for everyone....( hehehe i'm d second driver..from taiping stop until tambun...first time i drove d car at perak)

Right after 9 we moved on to Perak....everything ran smoothly as we planned...but in d middle of the trip...( near to the tunnel) we stopped d car as there was some noise came from the car...Luckily nothing happened..and we continued our journey...around 12p.m...we arrived there..

i am so amazed wif d beautiful scenery and surrounding of this theme park..eveything looks very natural as we surrounded by the limestone hill........

we spent almost 5 hours there playing,swimming and do evrything as we want to release all the tense and tiredness....we were having fun and its so enjoyable...some of the game made me felt extremely dizzy such as d pirate ship(honestly...i hate this ship..it smash my stomache and make me want to vommit)...luckily the other games were ok...

before we went back to our college, we drove around Ipoh city (heheh where the talentime movie took place)....i 'm so excited as i could see and discover other new places in my life...

During d way back journey...everything was ok at first...but after we arrived at Jawi, our car's tyre exploded ..Luckily we've d experience on how to change the tyre b4..in the raining day (where all d lightning and thunder came out)..all of us together changed d tyre..and within 10 min everything turned back normally....its a good experience for me hehehe...(amir was a driver durig dat time..luckily not me..)
Afterall....we managed to come back to our college safely..thanks god..nothing bad gonna happn to us..... d most important things..all of us enjoyed dat moment..but in term of financial aspect...we broke...hehehhe...
