Whopee....

Got Keegan's The Stand from Wei today. I was actually planning to take a little few pages from the tome to present as part of the Oral Interpretation event. You may call me crazy but I am actually planning to read that book all over again. Though my mom disapproves of me reading King, but what interests me the most to his works is that there are quite a few quotes or really memorable (more like chilling and sick) phrases. But of course, these books are not recommended for the faint hearted (now this sounds like some stupid low cost production) as there are quite a few gory scenes. But personally, I seem to think It was better at the scare cheap shots.

Oh yeah, I also had some good news to spread around today (ok, it was kind of like bad news to others...) regarding the duet acting event for the Forensics tournament. Ms Mano passed over some forms to me this morning and it was the the list of potential competitors for the event from our school. Some weeped (ok, I was exaggerating), others screamed (uh....Isabell?) and some gasped (none other than Nazeera Nasir). Oh dear, then after that, Nazeera sort of sauntered into the class and said that she and Isabell were planning to change partners and something along that line and something about it being mutual. Tell ya the truth Nazeera, was that not kind of anti climatic of you?(mood spoiler...oh crap. I will have to be expecting a beating tomorrow...I must be brave since I was brave enough to type that statement out)

Ok. So Wei and I are desperate to find some kind of script to suit us, i.e. the tolerating one and the cynic...I am the latter she's the former. Any questions?
Shakespeare is the only playwright which I know of and many of his plays are kind of oldish and difficult to portray. Not that I am saying that we are both uncapable of pulling it off. In fact, I think we would do quite well. The problem is finding a script which has only two characters and it has got to be more than 6minutes 50seconds and not more than 12 minutes and 10 seconds. Wow, they really have got it down to the seconds. I'll be butched.

And then there was that jogging incident. I kept getting stitches everytime I walk faster than normal speed. It's not that I am tired or anything but this kind of aches really put me off and right now, I feel pissed at myself. This certainly is turning out to be a rather interesting year if you would ask me.

The Great Learning Process otherwie known as Life itself is taking me for one hell of a ride. Who knows where I would end up this year. Who am I to know?
