Drama Class

My Secondary 2 class is doing this drama piece out of Romeo and Juliet. Brings back such memories. I did the exact same thing when I was in Secondary 3, in Flintsone style. We spent $100 renting clothes. 

So each team (5 peeps in a group) takes one scene out of the play. And I'm in-charge of the first 3 teams. So today while we were competing with the rain outside the class, the teams managed to read their scripts out loud, in character, to one another in the group for starters. 

As I walked around, I caught a conversation between this Chinese girl (Chinese National) and a Singaporean Chinese boy. She's 16 this year, so she does look at the other students in the class as little kids. Its pretty obvious when she talks to them like this. (Imagine the accent)

A: 我有四句。你只有两句哑, 同学。你去死吧。
And the boy whom she just scolded went back to sit down. And the teacher (that's me!) who heard it all laughed like crazy. Couldn't control it. The look on her face was like 'You are just a tiny little thing, don't even talk to me.' It was really funny. But I know she meant no harm. 
What a way to start the morning! :)
