5th Reflections

Well, we were late for class again, it's the bus fault, the last bus is supposed to be 8.45am, but it left early. So we took the bus to go to Kota Kinabalu to Kalansanan. Anyway, Miss Atee ask us to do Musical Twisted Fairy-tale roleplay, and yes, we are actor and actress today. So the roleplay was held on July 30, 2012 on Monday, we are the 5th group to perform our roleplay in front of Miss Jane's student and others. Honestly, we didn't make much practice and didn't memorize our lines, so i am really, really dissapointed. It was the worst performance in my entire life. Anyhow, i guess our group have the lowest marks, i bet us can do much better than that, but nevermind. I'm so looking forward for the next class's performance. :')

Today, we were asked to do a promotion, oh yes, now we are a salesmen and women. We have to promote a maggie product, using 3 types of conditional sentences. As usual group by group must present it in class, so they let me and Syakira to presenting it. I was on the bad mood that day, so i felt annoyed much, argh, hate it! Anyway, our promotion went well and i have no comment with it. In addition, Miss Atee asked us to do a Crazy Commercial, it must be funny. So, our first crazy commercial isn't really crazy, we tried to redo it. Then, the second one is a little bit nerdy, rejected. So, this is our third crazy commercial, it is kind of crazy, because our housemate said it was hillarious, so Miss Atee will not reject our third trial, i hope so. By the way, we were having so much fun to do this project. :)

The time have come, we had perform our ghost story telling. First, Miss Atee show us the real ghost story from the LCD, and she told us that she doesn't like any ghost story. Anyway, our ghost story is from the last minutes idea. We have no practice nor group discussion, but we have last minute practice. By the way, our ghost story is about Pocong, as long as each of our group member understand the story line, it will be okay, i guess. More over, our leader group as story teller and others will act as the background of the story. It's funny how the people react when one of our member act as the Pocong, jump around the class. Some of them screaming, relax, and when i look at Miss Atee, because i thought she would be backing off, but suprisingly her face shows no fear. Then i was like wow! In addition, it's my character's turn to show up, i'm panic, i'm supposed to read some magic spell but what came out from my mouth? i said, "bismillah, bismillah, bismillah", and people start laughing. Argh! It was supposed to be scary, but i spoil the moment. Anyhow, it came out spontaneously and we're having fun. :)

1st Reflections

I'm from Monday's class student. On the first class of English for Specific Purpose subject, i am excited to learn the new level for English subject. As i thought, our lecturer would be Madam Maryati, and i'll bet that this semester will be awesome. Then, she gave us the whole list of the activities and subject for the semester that we will do, and she explains to make all of us know what will us do and prepare for the activities that will be held. Half hour later, the first lesson start. We learnt a common idiom, "a picture paints a thousands words", means a picture can represent a thousand words in it. Other than that,"butterflies in my stomach" means really nervous, "it is raining cats and dogs" means a heavy rain, "caught red-handed" and "a wolf with a sheep's clothing". We're having so much fun by guessing all of the idiom. After that, we were given a short video and asked to make our own ending, and my ending will be: after the man post the mail at the post office, he meet the woman who own the camera outside. The woman's face is sad, and she surprised the man's presence. Without wasting time, she ask the man if he saw her camera. The man is speechless because of the shock meeting. He just smile and shake head means no, and the woman says thank you and keep searching for her camera. Then, without any doubt, the man get back into the post office to bring back the mail. Thankfully, the mail have not been posted yet. Then, with rush the man chase the woman and yelled wait. The woman turn and surprise, the man hand over the box to the woman. He said, "I'm sorry, i'm speechless back there. Here you go, the camera of yours is in this box. I wanted to post to your house, but i didn't know your address. Anyway, you're a good photographer." and he just smile. The woman take the box and thanking the man, she give a big smile and take out her camera, take picture with the man together. After that, they start chatting, exchange phone numbers, and they become closer each day. Finally, they start dating, and they love each other. The End. :)
