FIN:
It's quite confused now. I'm feeling happy and sad together. I'm happy because I don't have to write anymore blog posts anymore but I'm sad too because it means is a ending for the class. I need to wrap up this as my last blog post for the class. The question asked is: What do you learn from MMC class?
Honestly, I still in confusing about what the MMC lecture is about even it's last class. Sometimes, I can understand what it means but sometimes I can't understand at all. What I can remember is all related to field trip. Is field trip impact? Yes, of course. As we are engaging into it. The first field trip to NAG is not the first art gallery I've visited. I've actually visited an art gallery during my trip to Taiwan. It's a Taiwan University Art Gallery but then that time I don't really understand ARTS. After MMC, I suddenly realized life is actually an ARTS.
I've learnt visual arts, films, and performing arts. All these three is acting our life. We just put it in a object forms to let people see it, touch it and feel it. I still remember the first lecture, Dr Carmen asked us to write down the questions we want to ask. I can still remember the question I asked : What is actually Malaysia culture? As I don't think Petronas Twin Tower is our work due to the work done by Japanese and Korean. However, I think I have answer now. Malaysia culture is what has happen in Malaysia and people practice it. No matter is from which origin nation, if we practice it and change it into our own style, it is Malaysia culture. As I'm a Malaysian.
This is the class I've watched so many films that I've never watched before. Or I can say I don't want to watch before. As what I thought is very boring films, why I need to watch it? But then, now I know the hidden meaning of the films. It widen my knowledge about culture. No longer just me myself but then other people in the world. I learnt a lots especially thoughts. After this subject, I felt to visit more and more arts festival. It's very engaging not like I watching films at home like the third person. And some details I can't notice from watching TV because I know it will review behind the scenes but then for theatre is different maybe it just only once and unique. You will catch every details as well as you can.
Thank you culture and my lecturers. This lecture fulfilled a part of my life.

Review: Project Eve
Review:
During festival, the most places I've visited is the Lobby. There are a lots of performances on the floor. At first, I just wants to watched Teenage Dream, a theatre about a group of secondary school students and LGBT issue. But after the show, I've no ideas where to watch and visit so I decided to stay in the same place and wait. I like theatre than the other music or film types of performances. Theatre can carry a lot of feelings from my heart. And around evening, I watched Project Eve.
There are 3 female play in the theatre. Project Eve is starting with an opening of Adam and Eva story. Project Eve is talking about the growing process of the little girl to adults with her mother. Her parent divorce when she was young. Her mother always take care about her but then she is feeling annoying her mother too care about her. Her mother died when she was 14. She starts to think about her mother. She wants freedom and escape from her mother but then there are no longer her mother waiting her to come back.
It's very touch story until I cried when the show on going. I've argued with my mother the day before the trip. When I watched the theatre, I can relate to myself. I questioned myself, am I really need freedom than love from family? I felt sorry at the end of the show. I'm embarrassing that I can't even say sorry to my mother. Is not as easy as what I've watched from the theatre. In the theatre, she wants to apologize but there is no more chance. It's a very good story that carried out a deepest meaning. Before this theatre I've decided to write about Teenage Dream, but I changed my mind right after I watched this theatre. What I can't easily say through mouth, I hope I can express with words. If there has one more chance to watch in a hall or theatre hall, I wish I will be there to watch it again.
A little mistake made by the actors, she too nervous until she will forget a little bit words. But overall very good because if think another way, it can carry out how regretful she is. I hope I have a chance to watch it in a complete set of stage. It will be more impact.
Ps: There is no photos as I so engaged into it until I forgot to take a photo.

Mana-Manalogues: Kenapa Tak Tukar Nama?
Review
"Mana-manalogues: Kenapa Tak Tukar Nama?" is a theatre I've watched from the Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival. It's located in KLPAC. The theatre is about a Chinese lady named Mei Ying who wants to marry with a Malay guy. She has booked a honey moon flight trip with her future husband but all the process need her IC to proceed. She went to JPN to register her new IC as Islam religion but then she doesn't want to change her Chinese name. JPN called her for interview few times to persuade her to change her name to Muslim's name but she refused. Her daddy and mummy are very open minded people because they don't stop her daughter marry with Malay guy just they concern about the differences between Islam and Buddhist culture like when she pass away, she cannot bury in Chinese cemetery.
After watching the whole 30 mins theatre, I've realized this theatre is talking about a very common issue that always happened in Malaysia but we don't really care about it as we are not the one who faced it. After the theatre I starts to think about it. Ya, why we need to change our name? We are Chinese, not only Muslim name has meaning, our Chinese name also has a unique meaning that mean to our parent. Mei Ying respects Islam culture as I have noticed she wear tudung when she goes to JPN, official public government area. She does respect the culture. Just she wants to marry with Malay guy, she need to abandon her parent? Who teach like this? Which book? Which law? Allah? God? or just the people created it and practice it? I believed that even Allah won't teach people to abandon their parents.
I quite shocked when I watched the theatre, because she plays for all role such as her parent, JPN officers, staff and etc. It's really a difficult for people to act all plays. A little bit sad for those who doesn't know all the language as she is using Cantonese and Chinese languages to express her role. It's very nice when you understand all the languages. I did not miss out anything. Just the space provided quite small. I can't even see when she is behind the bar. Honestly, I haven't reach the marriage age so I can't really understand the feeling and the experience of her. However, her dress code, languages, and the plays of JPN officer is bringing me engaged in the condition as this is what I saw from daily, from my life too. How the officers speaks, sit is very common in Malaysia. It makes me feel like I'm in the situation too.
I learnt from this theatre. Even is a common issue or matter happened everyday, if you think in different perspectives, you will realize you are facing too. For this case, it's seems to be a Chinese girl married to Malay guy and changing name but then in another perspective, it's reflected differences in Chinese culture and Islam culture? Is it a situation very familiar in Malaysia like religion problem, races problem that unsolved?
