Public Humiliation -- Dramatic Monologue!

Another one! And this time it is something we never expected!

It was an impromptu one. We were given 5 minutes to write the scripts. Just when we were done with the scripts, Dr Kamarul said that we were going to perform the monologue written by others! Frankly speaking, our lecturer is always full of surprises, and I do like that idea! 

So off we went up to the stage, performing. Well I was too busy enjoying the performance that I forgot how to be nervous! That was a plus point to my performance, as keeping a cool head made me think clearer. I was requested to act out the thoughts of a marathon runner. So I acted! My friends comments are positive, so thank God!

Others told me they feel more secure and calm if they are given time to prepare first. But I am the opposite. Don't judge me, I am a spontaneous person and I prefer to act it out on the spot. The outcome not only surprises the audience; it also surprises me. And I love the surprises I bring to myself. I never know I could be capable of doing these stuff before then. Acting by yourself is no easy task because there is no communication happening. Nevertheless it is fun to see one talking to himself/herself. It is just a way of voicing out thoughts. It is a way of self-expression. Self expression is very important because it enables you to show your personality. Again, it is related to teaching. Teaching requires teacher to express himself, and since he would be giving lecture most of the time, the thing is pretty much close to a monologue. 

Thank you Dr Kamarul for the surprises. Thank you for bringing us into a whole new world, and let us explore it. Well, at least no boring lectures!

Next mission: TO BE REVEALED.....
