Out of class Activity - Dramatic

So the Eid break is over.

Back to school and first week in, DRAMA~~~!!!

Apparently the leader for the drama club didn't reply Moon's texts at all during the break. When we asked her at school, she said she didn't have enough credit in her phone to do so. Yeah right, 1 week of holiday and she didn't have ANY credit loaded the whole time?? She lives in Kota Bharu, and she's rich! Don't lie if you're not good at it, kid!

That aside, since they seemed to be busy (with who knows what), we had to do the scripts ourselves. And due to the lack of time, we just picked a random historical figure. Well, it wasn't really random as we all agreed that it would be best to do Tok Janggut as he was the historical figure representing Kelantan. Miraculously, script-writing took no more than 3 hours! (> w <). But of course, this was very much with the help of modern technology called THE INTERNET and GOOGLE!! Hwahaahahhahah!!!!!

So, we photocopied the scripts so that all of the members will get one each. But guess what, the Drama Club now refused to do the drama! Three days before the real deal, and we have no actors! The most annoying this was, the kids didn't tell us about it. They told their teacher (Moon's mentor - Kak Na) that they didn't want to do it and she told us about it later on. I don't know why the kids didn't want to tell us straight away. I mean, we met them face-to-face not long before they told Kak Na about the bad news. When we saw them and asked about how're things, they just smiled and said, "Yup, fine"

Lesson learnt : You can't rely 100% on kids especially when you don't have good rapport with them. They're probably not confident enough to tell you stuff and refuse to open up to you.

But they (the Drama Club) promised to find replacements. And they said they'll be training the form 2 kids using the scripts we provided. I felt a bit better after hearing that since I'm taking three form 2 classes. So I know the majority of the kids - that'll make things easier to handle.
