Mahsuri

Last Sunday evening I went to Istana Budaya to watch Teater Mahsuri directed by Fauziah Nawi. The lead actress was Vanidah Imran. I expected a good performance and was given such but overall the theater (in my simple mind opinion) was a bit below of my expectency. The acting was good but the essence of the story was not delivered effectively. This was a musical theather but I thought the music was not that good and attemps to humor the audience were to no avail. The starting was not very attention grabber and the story line was somewhat flat. The ending was good though.

Maybe I didn't view the theater highly because the only other theater I watched was Puteri Gunung Ledang the Musical. Now that was what we called astounding. It realled grabbed my attention, acting was very good, props were spectacular, and the story line was very interesting. I'm sorry I have to compare Mahsuri to PGL buti think they can do better. The actress that acted as Wan Mahura also misdilevered her dialogue 4 times during the perfomance and it was obvious.

However, the last scene (climax) depicting the death sentence really moved me to tears. They have done that beautifully. So, not so much a dissapointment after all for me who is still a novice in watching theater.

exam ex..am

Exam is just around the corner... in fact, this evening it will make its debut... and I'm still not ready... I am not going to point to anyone, because I know, it's my fault I'm not ready... I think I am stressed but really cannot drag myself to study, I don't know why... I think I should see someone.. I'm terrified yet I'm still writing in this blog, as if I've finished covering all the topics.. Am I running from something? If I am, well, I'm not going to outrun it... It will still come and get me... I know that, but still, I kept typing...

Why am I like this?.. I don't realize since when I got this habit of running away from problems... Am I lacking motivation? Why should I be motivated?.. Why shouldn't I?.. Where is my long-lost drive? I need to look for it and I need it now!! Can somebody help me?

Crazy late night stay up

Yesterday was a history. I've never stay up until 4.30 am to do a job non-stop from 10 pm. Wow...I couldn't believe myself! I am one of the Module committee for the forthcoming camp called Bina Insan Guru II that we as DPLI UKM students need to go as a requirement for the education diploma. Yesterday, three of the committee members (Ain, Yuni & Pa'ie) including me were very busy editing the Module Book for the camp. Unfortunately, although we stayed at the cafe (there were people there too!) until 4.30 am, we still couldn't finish the work. There they are today beside me still doing the final job.

I went up to my room and crash down after changing (I was battling with my eyelid that begged me to just sleep without changing..haha.. I won) and woke up for Subuh prayer at 6.50 am (very late). I thought my roommate were to thank for her effort of waking me up but I was puzzled to see her fast asleep on her bed. Was I dreaming? Nevertheless, I went to the toilet very very groggy and barely able to walk straight and took wudu'. I managed to pray without falling asleep in the middle of the prayer, sleep back after I prayed and only woke up again at 10 am.

I knew I can do it if I am really focus. The condition also very important to make sure I didn't fall asleep easily (which happened quite frequently). But I think that I'm not suit to stay up late at night. I would rather woke up early, and work my way throughout the day. Staying up late also didn't do my skin and my dark circle justice but really, I just have to bare with it because I have tons of assignments to do and the deadlines are just around the corner!! Hurry up!
