Tuesday

Assalamualaikum & Hello

Last Tuesday, we were on our regular schedule. Amy and I went for breakfast at Sidah restaurant. We had 'roti canai' and warm water as usual. At 11 o'clock, we had our Mathematics class until 1 o'clock. Then, we had 1 hour break to pray and lunch. After that, at 2 o'clock, we had our session with Madam Norbaiti. As usual, Madam prepared us some activities to do. This time we had to wrote a short story based on the character, genre and setting given by her. The character given include the runaway bride, a school nerd, a psychopath and many other choices. The setting also include at the beach, a haunted mansion, in a cab and many more. We were divided into groups of three and four. My group chose the psychopath character and the setting we chose was in a cab. We tried to do a psychopathic thriller kind of story. 

It turned out I'd got the idea from a movie call 'The Lovely Bones'. It is the story of a teenage girl who, after being raped and murdered, watches from her personal heaven as her family and friends struggle to move on with their lives while she comes to terms with her own death. 'The Lovely Bones' is luminous and astonishing. This story of the worst thing a family can face is transformed into suspenful and even funny about love, memory, joy, heaven and healing. This movie was adapted from a novel by the same title written by Alice Sebold. We didn't really present about the story. We just took a bit part of the character to our kind of story. We presented it well and so was the other group. I really think this was the best session we had and I hoped we did better in the future. Thank you.
