Theater 101 Finals

I know it's been a long time since I've actually written something read worthy other than my opinions on current news. Thing is, with the end of the semester looming near, it also means that it's the time of the semester which is the most hectic that leaves you barely enough time to take a breather. Still I decided to spend 15 minutes of library time to dash my fingers across the keyboard and give you guys something entertaining to read (hopefully).

Like every semester, theater finals is always something to look forward to. This semester they really outdid themselves and gave the best ever performance ever. 5 groups performed but of course the 2 last groups stole the entire 2 hours and received an applause equivalent to a standing ovation. I really wish we had theater classes when we were back in school. Here are the pictures...

Well this is Carien from the 4th group. She was supposed to be an artist, debating with Henry and another girl (forgot her name) to who was more talented.

This is the final scene for Group 4. Well basically their whole play was about a theater rehearsal. Well in the final scene they decided to kill their director (played by Jin). It was a hilarious play and at the end I was left with a tummy ache from laughing too much.

This the final group's play. Scene 1 begins with a drunk father (Thomas) coming home to see his baby daughter playing (Ye Shan).

Detective Tim Holmes to the rescue! With the thieves Jon Yee and Eu Roy posing as a portrait picture.

Basically with 15 mins up, I promise to later on add the video of the play. I would seriuosly have to recommend you guys to watch it. Of course they're amateurs but then again what do you expect? For their level (Theater 101) they did an absolutely fantastic job. My comment on them? A truly spectacular performance *applause*.

7 year old brings loaded guns to school

Reading the news on CNN this morning I'm glad that Malaysia actually exercises gun control unlike the United States. I'm sure for those of you that are with kids have enough to worry about with the increase in kidnappings that have been happening one after another within a time frame of several months between each case, without having to worry about your children going to school with someone who actually carries a gun to school.

A few weeks ago CNN reported that students from universities in Utah carry guns on campus after the increase in the number of on campus shootings. Yes, I have to agree when the Virginia Tech massacre happened, we merely categorized it as one of those isolated cases. Yet less than a year, 2 other on campus shootings occured. Not only that but crime against female students have also been on an increase with the killings in Oklahoma and Nevada.

Yet today's news brought back the memory of a 7 year old girl who was shot dead by her classmate in school. Although the news reported that the child was unaware that the guns were real and loaded with live ammunitions, it scares me enough to think that a freak accident is more likely to happen due to it.

So basically, I think it's high time the US Congress rethinks its Gun Control Bill. It goes back to the 1800s since they've tried to abolish owning personal firearms, so why not end it now? It's been long enough and high time since something was to be done. A country where someone can simply walk in a firearms store, show their identification card and purchase a gun only serves to increase crime involving firearms as far as I'm concern. Yet I do acknowledge the fact that I am not fully informed about the situation as well.

Oh yeah, Sainty and I only realized last night that Hardi's wedding was last Sunday. So congratulations on your wedding Hardi. Anyone else getting ready to walk down the aisle?
