Term 3 Week 5

This Thursday we moved on to Scene 3 of AYLT. This was where I actually started taking notes in my ALYLT scene script. This will help me understand clearly next time. We discussed many things for example Elvis being very exaggerating when he says about something. I think that's difficult to understand. The way he uses his phrases to describe a situation. But overall, it was manageable :) I learned that Elvis was in deep pain, not physically but emotionally because of his loved ones leaving him again and again. But for once, he knows that Jesse will always be there with him and he has someone to turn to. He was in the US Army too when his mother had passed away. He porbably went there to promote his music and in music business, you can't just leave for anything but stick to the plans of your manager etc. Booked shows also can't be missed as you are a celebrity. A thing learned. And the drugs/pills he took were to escape the pain from everything e was going through at that point of time. I think that drugs will just add on to more problems and it is just harmful.

Term 3 Week 5

Monday
Well today I would say that Mr Chua was not happy with our class for Literature. Once again, a number of people didn't hand in their homework on time which was due last Thursday. Luckily I handed in mine earlier in the Lit tray. Mr Chua said we are responsible for our own deeds. We should be responsible for Lit lessons by handing in our assignments on time right? It would save time during lessons especially if time given is crucial. Moving on, we were given our our Lit assignment which is due next Monday on Scene 2 of AYLT. It would be an easy assignment if we had listen closely and absorbed the information given as we discussed these answers last week, I noticed. Also our very first Lit assignment of the Term was given back. The one that involved research in it. I think that I didn't do very well even though its a pass. I didn't answer some questions properly, thus leading to an average score. Nevermind that, "I will never say never" ;) Work harder, pay close attention! We discussed the various answers for the worksheet and then moved on to watch last year's performances on Merchant of Venice & Romeo and Juliet. I couldn't grasp the scene well as it was too soft to be heard from and I wasn't feeling that well either. But as Mr Chua said they did not have Debate Training programmes like us, we should be speaking louder than them. Goodluck people! :)

Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender

Term 3 Week 5

Monday
Ok so we proceeded on to Scene 2 of AYLT. BUT, not before thee usual round of questions hard and easy. We were called up and had to answer. Most of the questions were those that I managed to think of the answers. But I think if I were to be called, I wouldn't have managed to explain it further and properply. This calls for some practice! So in Scene 2 Mr Chua asked us if we knew what a chandelier was. It is basically a light ornament that you probably see in big houses for instance, mansions like Elvis's etc. i had a funny thought while discussing this: Imagine seeing one in an apartment or in our very own HDB flats!! Haha. Not a wonderful sight people. I also thought it was adorably nice and caring <3 of Elvis to say he'll place chandeliers everywhere in the house! Imagine. Then discussed on Elvis staring at the one and only Cadillac. Frankly, I don't think much of the Cadilac as it doesn't stir excitement to me. But a Mercedes would be something I bet :) Soo, be grateful to parents no matter what, they still LOVE YOU.





Thursday
Today, there was no Lit apparently. We had a relief teacher, Mr Amirul. My first impression of him was that he looked super tall! And sort of lanky, haha. Ok since there's nothing else, I'll talk about Elvis more? There are videos above too ;) Do you want to see Elvis young, old, handsome or depressed?





Younger?





elvis, his dad, his mom






















Wedding?




they looked beautiful & stunning here! :>

Term 3 Week 4☮

For today. In Lit today, Mr Chua looked somber to me. We had a quick round of simple questions on AYLT. However, I did find some of the questions a little difficult to answer as I was thinking. I guess these would be the type of manipulative questions in the exams. Mr Chua is getting us prepared and ready for all! There were some who did not manage to answer it, but as said was a little tough. Moving on, on to Scene Two! With Younger Presley this time.

Term 3 Week 3

This week

(Monday)

So, we continued Elvis Presley! I find it interesting learning about him ;) It brings happiness I think. Something that obviously brings joy is music afterall. We got scolded but hey lets learn from our mistakes people. We had questions mostly basic ones that are related to the current play we're studying on, Are You Lonesome Tonight. I likeee. But so far, I've not been called out. Hmm? But I don't think that luck will last long! ~ Hehe. So then, we continued with the play and learnt even more, I'm being to like this. But back to Elvis, he is a good person deep down even though in the play, he seemed harsh and cold to people. But he does care for people, for example his fans right? Thats my opinion.

(Thursday)

Literature bright and early for the day! I would say this was a lesson that was much meaningful and all about thinking. No scolding by the way. Good huh. We got our brains tested by having Mr Chua asking our class, individually, questions on the play. Most of them found it difficult to answer the questions I noticed but keep trying the answer is always there! Mr Chua also noticed this, and to those that said "I dunno" were asked to THINK. It was a thinking moment for us. I did think and had my answer ready in case I were to called but I was not. But it gave the others an opportunity I'll say. After all that disscussion it felt like I was up for the next set of 'Inquiries' coming. :D Homework was distributed on AYLT. It is to be handed up next Monday. Put in the tray earlier to avoid any dlay and scoldings for tardiness from Mr Chua 2Dynamic! This will be a huge help in the future when you go to work righht? You cannot be late! The worst thing, first impression counts! Work on it (Y)

Term 2 Week 2

Last Monday there was no school as it was Youth Day, hope it was fun for all of you. Literature was missed. So, while we were at home, I thought about our groups for the drma play and was worried as many things had to be done and that I am a Wardrobe IC which makes me quite nervous to be doing most of the work. There blames also.

Young elvis

For Thursday, we finally started on the topic of Elvis Presley! It was a familiar name to me and I know that he was once the King of Rock & Roll. But here, we got to know even more^^ So basically, he's an american singer who became not-so famous because of weight issues and drug overdose. He used to be very popular, with the girls too I bet :D Anyway, did you know he was briefly married to a lady named Priscilla Beaulieu in 1967 but due to some problems they got divorced? Yes, they even had a daughter named Lisa Marie who married Michael Jackson for a short while. Well, I'm no MJ fan. I heard that he became bloated soon after, well its true anyway. I think that is a pity as he was the greatest rocking musician of Rock N Roll and 'his life got wasted. But I don't think he meant to do that. I presume he was under a lot of pressure. Poor you. But till, today many still love hime to the extreme and misses him. So remember, take care of your health & NEVER, I mean NEVER take drugs! ~

Term 2 Week 1

This will be my first post for Lit this term as I have deleted the past posts. So, last week we had Lit lessons on Mondays & Thrusdays with Mr Chua. This term we will be learning various plays and also, we have a big Shakespeare drama performance coming up. It is either based on 'Merchant of Venice' or 'Romeo and Juliet' (R&J) To be able to do this smoothly, we got seperated into different groups with names and mine was Bravo consisting of members: Zaimah, Ebony, Jalilah, Karenjit, Hui Jin, Wei Xiang, Huzaifah, Yu Zhen, Ding Hong, Hong Rong, Ramadhan. So we had to be playing each different roles in a play we chose. My group had chosen R&J as expected as we think it will be easy to handle (: I am in the wardrobe department for now. I have mixed feelings about this role as I'm not that sure I would be able to carry it out well, nervous! Also, in the past week we were given homework based on different roles in theatre production. I managed to find about all the roles on the internet as Mr Chua had said. So, we will have our next Lit lesson tomorrow. Till then! :D
