On Monday, I was absent because I was sick, so I didn’t get to perform the MacBeth play, which I was absolutely clueless about what had happened on that day. But I did hear from a few of my friends that Miss Marly was dissatisfied with their performances and were told to redo it on Friday. Miss Marly hopes that they can do a better job on it. I wish we could get high marks for that play.
@ Friday @
Our big day arrived on Friday. All of our classmates were all very nervous and excited. We were given about 10 minutes to get ready. Our group’s costume is Afrina’s jeans with black shirt. We decided Vivien to put on white jeans, Afrina’s black and mine’s grey. As for the top attire, I planned for a plain black shirt. For Vivien, a black jacket with a witch’s hat. And lastly, for Afrina, a black jacket with a hood over her head for the acting. But they changed the plan while I was absent. I was informed later about the changes on Tuesday. And so, our new costume was just ‘coloured’ jeans with ‘different coloured’ trash bags.
As there were not enough white and black trash bags, I wore a red coloured trash bag. When I got back to the classroom, I saw everyone wearing different kind of costumes which was a very exciting scene. :] Only for the boys, black trash bags were on them. For the girls, most of them actually went home and dig through their wardrobe for their costumes. For Ebony, I think she went to the costume store and rented a cute Japanese animation witch’s dress, ‘gloves’, socks, I think she rented those shoes too and lastly, the black witch’s hat with white frills around the brim. And for the other girls, they actually put in the effort to dress appropriately which is really cool. ^_^
All of us were told to line up outside while the other groups performed in the classroom. While waiting, some of my classmates tried to recap their lines. I was quite confident about my lines and was actually not nervous at first as I know that there are only Miss Marly and a few students in the class looking at us. But as our turn came closer, I became more and more nervous. Quite anxious I think. I kept forgetting my line and I had to borrow the Literature file from Zaimah. I managed to memorize everything again and also changed my ‘awful’ red colour trash bag into the white one that Vivien was wearing. When it was our turn, I was really nervous and kept trembling. When I spoke, my volume was low, while witch 1 and witch 2 spoke; I keep pulling at my trash bag. It was very loose and it keep ‘floating’ and falling down from my shoulders. So I had to pull it up while I tried to say my lines at the same time. I guess my group members were nervous too as they did not do a little thing that we had planned a few minutes ago. It was quite awkward when I lifted my hand to do the little movement while witch 1 and witch 2 stayed motionless. We were suppose to do that together when we said our last line together, but I guess they too, were, frozen in front of the camera. So we quickly finished our lines and gather our props and went outside. We had to wait till after our next lesson before we could change. And so, unfortunately, the time was up before everyone could finish. Only one group was left. I guess on Monday we had to let this group finish their play before we could continue with our literature lesson.
