+ PERIOD 4: Nur@zri's 3rd Year! ♥ 4: Edusave Merit Bursary($300)! 12: School Re-Opens!

+ MELODY

dying to test my luck, i auditioned for a part. and either fortunately or otherwise, i was awarded/given the most onerous role in the Khilaf(that's what it's called) play, Hasnah. despite having very little, or not at all dialogues to memorise in a day's time before Sunday, instead i have to work on my expressionless facial expressions, hysteric body language as well as my crying techniques, a lot. easy task, you say? i don't think so. Hasnah, had a very black history if you must know. read;

A General Overview.

Ramlah; Hasnah's little sister.
Tengku Murad; an iniquitous rich men.
Kamal&Semaun; Tengku Murad's clique.
Hasnah; a known cabaret singer then, in the early 1950s.
Mami Kalsum; i/c of all her cabaret singers. Hasnah's her favourite.

• her family was penniless, as poor as a church mouse(which indirectly, forced Hasnah to be a cabaret singer due to their unbearable living situation) that they're unable to re-pay all of their loan to this iniquitous dude named Tengku Murad. therefore, in condition to that, they had no choice but, to sell their precious daughter, Hasnah reluctantly to him for compensation.
• unfortunately, she was treated as a sex slave instead. she was 'shared' among his friends as well, Kamal and Semaun in order to satisfy their endless greed for sexual appetite/urge that eventually caused her to lose her conscious senses as time goes by.
• unable to stand the pain/grudge she's been holding on to all these while, she ran with her younger sister, Ramlah to seek help from her best friend, Mami Kalsum one day. by then, she'd already lost her mind; down with hysteria, to be specific. so, the sympathetic Mami Kalsum vowed that she'll take great care of Hasnah, as well as Ramlah, whatever it takes from then onwards.

i've got to feel her. the pain that she'd gone through whatsoever. the most important thing i should take good note of is this; she ain't crazy! she's just depressed. that's the reason why i am still figuring about the closest-to-perfect way on how to act her out in order to make her character seems... alive. -.-

wish me tons of luck, people. ♥
