jesus lives in south korea


'Excuse me Miss, do you have 5 minutes? I just need 5 minutes and your life will change!'


i went to klpac yesterday to watch a play by mark beau de silva entitled 'jesus lives in south korea'. it supposed to be a comedy drama, but i end up thinking dat dis is a pretty heavy play about beliefs (urself and god). they did injected sum comedy, but it is not dat obvious to call it a comedy drama. i duno. dats what i think.

i was there with ash n sham, n we agreed dat we have to continuously think about what they say during the play. n like wat sham said ' if its possible, i wana jot down apa derang cakap, sbb takut terlupa n think about it after the play'.

the actor n the actresses were good. i didnt see anyone is better than the rest or vice versa, because they are all the same. they gave the same impact. n its a good one.

very simple setting. it reminds me of the macbeth play that i watched there, few years ago by some australian production. very simple setting, but it is sufficient for the whole play.

overall, a good play to watch. but if u r planning to watch this play n hoping to crack your head with laughter during the whole 90 mins, u r wrong because it requires thinking. a whole lot of it.

les miserables

Il dort. Quoique le sort fut pour lui bien etrange,
Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n'eut plus son ange.
La chose simplement d'elle-meme arriva,
Comme la nuit se fait lorsque le jour s'en va.

perlu, ke?


i went to watch RHTA last saturday at klpac. and i felt that it could be better. especially the acting part and those jokes that they trying to show. sum are very flexible/natural wit their acting and sum, u can see it, like they r trying very2 hard and uncomfortable with their character.

and another thing, when u said that klpac gives freedom for everyone to be creative and sumtimes, it doesnt adhere with our norms and cultures, i think, it just feel weird and inappropriate. and for RHTA, sum of 'the scene', i think is insignificant. perlu, ke? u can go without it or, do it differently. i duno. dats what i think. being creative doesnt mean that u have to be different from the mainstream.again, perlu sangat, ke?

and the subtitles, is so at the side and i think it is very difficult for those who cant understand bm to read it and at the same time, enjoy the play. n i noticed they did not translate everything. i felt pity for sum mat saleh who were there last week.

overall, its an ok theater by our local writer.maybe the pressure to become like those westerners, made them came out with this-kinda acting and interpretation. its pretty cheap, rm23 for students. so, if u gt the chance to watch this, go ahead because u will surely get what i mean by 'the scene'.

p/s : Adli in this play reminds me alot of zulhazmi che seman, my so-called qut junior. the way he speaks and move and everything. maybe the brother. i duno.

year of tiger.


i went to visit one of my primary school teachers this chinese new year with some of my friends. puan giam , guru kelas when i was in standard 4. catching up n a whole lot more. it reminds me of my primary years ; lotsa sweet memories, being the head prefect n all. n i realized, its different now, the way we talk to her n the topics. n mun khea, actually mentioned, 'dulu, rasa pendek sangat, now, macam same height jer'. n yes, i agreed. ;P

we discussed about current issues, unity, MGS n mostly, our future. i can see how happy she is when we arrived n talk about how berjaya we are today. sebak rasanya.

we have grown up n its been more than 10 years, but, teacher, we will still be ur student.

STUFF

A book discussion club is a group of people who meet to discuss a book or books that they have read and express their opinions, likes, dislikes, anything that they want. It is more often called simply a book club, a term that is also used to describe a book sales club, which can cause confusion. Other frequently used terms to describe a book discussion club include reading group, book group, and book discussion group. Book discussion clubs may meet in private homes, libraries, bookstores, online forums, pubs, and in cafes or restaurants over meals or drinks.

A single-title club is one in which people discuss a particular title that every person in the group has read at the same time. Clearly, the club must somehow decide ahead of time what that title will be. Most often, that title will be a new release, and it is expected that each member buy a personal copy. If it is a book discussion club that meets at a library, the title may be a new release or an older title. If they choose, each member may borrow a copy of the book from the library.

One of the problems with these clubs is that some members regard them as opportunities for social contact and conversation veering off onto a wide variety of non-literary topics, while others hope to engage in serious literary analysis focused on the book in question and related works. Still others suggest a book not because they are interested in it from a literary point-of-view but because they think it will offer them an opportunity to make points of personal interest to them. Different expectations and education/skill levels may lead to conflicts and disappointments in clubs of this kind.
