Drama~~
I'm in the Drama club this year. Im going to act as a Malay person in an Ibanese rural. Its about the Japanese invasion. Wait. Its ALWAYS about the Japanese invasion. Okay, I'll give the synopsis of the drama script in story.
The Japanese is invading Batang Ai. People in town was rioting and picketing, while holding placards of some sort demanding Peace, Justice,Humanity...etc. etc. Ahmad, the leading talker will start to rant about how the Japanese is making it worse for the people and about how the Japanese destroyed everything in Jakar. Then, he asks his friends to do something. After this and that, they borrowed a longhouse from Jisin, a fellow villager.
They plotted to serve the Japanese with poisonous wine, and while they are too intoxicated to retaliate or whatever, the people will go inside the camp of the Japanese and set up a bomb. Then, Tukau, the sadistic and clumsy yet heroic character will be like "Oops~ I tripped" and fall face down. Then, the others will be like "You deserve to die for being so clumsy" and walk away. Then, the story ends with a feast and the people will give a moment of silence to the dead Tukau.
And for the practice, im such a dimwitt. I do not know how to express myself even though I tried and tried. The dialogue seems to be much easier in Japanese. (I rarely watch English dramas) And so I do not know how people express themselves in English.
And I do not dare to do much in front of a crowd. I can imagine myself blankly staring at the crowd, forgetting my lines..
I have in all, five lines.
"The Japanese are invading our town, Batang Ai! Are we just going to sit back and let them? Look at what they have done to Jakar!! The paddy farms and corn fiels have been completely destroyed! We much DO something!~"
"What if they come to? What do we do with them?"
"We must be careful not to poison ourselves as well. The women and children have to be informed, and if possible moved to another longhouse."
"Im glad our plan went well. And thank you, Jisin for letting us borrow your longhouse"
"Lets give a moment of silence to Tukau, Batang Ai's hero"
I did not really memorise them. I just read them over and over again until it becomes stuck at the back of my head.
SO, if you ask me a question I'l be like...
Asker: Its a good day right? Whats your name , young man?
Me: The Japanese are invading our town, Batang Ai! Are we just going to sit back and let them? Look at what they have done to Jakar!
Asker: What are you talking about, young man?
Me: The paddy farms and corn fields have been completely destroyed! We must do something!
Asker: What is one plus one?
Me: What if they come to? What do we do with them?
Something like that...
The competition will be on July. And I'l be gone for 3 days before the competition because im going for Holidays. Fun before the rain, huh?
Anyways, thats all for now, and im sure that (There is only one at the max) that will read what I post so, thanks for reading and TTFN.
