My favourite character from a Malay drama called "Pensil" is Badrul. He is not like any other normal human being. He is handicapped and just because of that, everyone ill-treated him. He lived in a kampung with his stepmother after his birth father died from an accident. He is a very patient guy as even though his neighbours ill-treated him and steal his money, he did not hate them at all. He is hardworking as he is really keen to work and even after he lost his job, he still want to find a job to get money for his mother despite the fact that he is handicapped. He is great at drawing and is determine of his ambition of being an artist. He is very faithful to his stepmother even though his stepmother abuse him, hate him and say hurtful things to him like, "why didn't you die instead of your father!" He love to help others despite his condition.
I am similar to him in a way of being hardworking, determined and faithful . I am determined of my future which is to work hard and get a good job so that I can have the money to travel around the world. I am faithful to my mother . I love her no matter what . However , his level of patience is higher than mine. I guess if I was the one being him, being ill-treated by everyone, I would have given up. He is my idol. He doesn't care about the fact that he is handicapped, being ill-treated, abused and hated by his stepmother, he still works hard for what he wants and never hated anyone.

Unseen Poems (:
Unseen poems are something new to me. Its is really interesting but it is quite difficult for me. It is hard to understand as you have to read in between the lines and my vocabulary is not so good thus I have some difficulty to understand it totally. We learn different literary devices which I can identify them but I find it challenging to comment and describe about it. However, reading unseen poems are fun as it makes you feel what the character is feeling and thus it makes you want to read more.

Romeo and Juliet (:
Most people would share on their blogs saying that everything is fine, everyone cooperate, there is good teamwork and so on. Well, I don't think that is exactly the truth that is happening in my group some of the time. At the start of this Romeo and Juliet play, I was kind of excited for it as I thought it would be lots of fun. It is fun when everyone cooperates with each other. However, not everyone I'm my group does that. Some people are always texting, gossiping and slacking one corner while the rest of us, unfortunately, have to do all the work. In the end, those who have done nothing but only do the acting gets all the credits. I truly think that is really unfair to those who did most of the work. When we talk to them or tell them to do work they will dislike it or not do it properly nor seriously. I think that is normal in all groups but it is just unfair.
That's the problem. The good thing is that we are done with the costumes and most of the props. We have many meetings for practicing of acting and all. The acting, I must say that everyone did improve on that since the first time we practiced together. Just maybe a little more improvement to make it better. Most of us in my group, including myself, have stage fright, so we together have to try to overcome that. We have planned the movements on stage and props, but we kind of have to work on it a little. Same goes with the background music which we have to think of better ways so that Cheryl don't have to learn 4 new songs.
In this Romeo and Juliet, I learn that teamwork, cooperation, sacrifices and communication really is important. Without these, everything will not go on smoothly. There will always be problems, but we have to work on it together. I hope that our hard work will pay off and that everything will go right on the actual day. This is important to us as it takes up 70% of our literature end of year examination.
