Another Country ~ Another Me

Hi, today finally has the mood to write about Another Country. This show has widen my knowledge about performing art. If I'm not mistaken, I think this was my second time to watch a professional performing art in a former theatre. To be honest, there was quite a number of scenes that  I not really understand. However, I got to know more during tutorial, special thanks to tutor and my friends who made a clear explanation about it. Through the show, I started to think of the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia. Last time, I thought that Singapore and Malaysian were totally different, but now, I think we are a big family that shared some similarities.

Recently, I watched a show which was held in Genting International Showroom. The show is named "Iluminate". This is a story that was play in the dark with LED light installed on the special suit of the actor and actress. The LED light follows the music's beats to flash to create different visual effect. This is my first time of watching such creative and interesting show. I don't know whether this is considered as performing art or not, perhaps someone can answer me xD.

For those who have no idea what is it, here is the promo clip of the show: Iluminate Promo Clip

I enjoy this show and it innovates my creativity. Thank you.

Hi everyone, my name is Chong Joo Yee. This subject - Malaysian Media and Culture brought me some impacts during the first class. Last time, I’m not really thought about “Malaysian”, I just took it for granted. After this class, I started to know more about Malaysian’s culture and how others think of Malaysia. This is quite an interesting class in degree life. I hope that I can learn to express myself bravely throughout the class. **Special thanks to Dr Carmen – Interesting lecturer J

Now is the time to answer the question – Do You Identify Yourself as a Malaysian? Yes, I can proudly say that I’m a Malaysian. I believe that people actually can easily identify Malaysian through language used and culture.

I feel proud where I can speak multilingual include dialects.

I feel proud where I can live with different ethnic peacefully.

I feel proud where I can experience different ethnic’s culture and tradition.

So, why not to be a Malaysian? According to a survey by The Star Online, most of the people identified themselves as Malaysian but not a member of an ethnic group (The Star Online, 2015). This shows that unity exists in Malaysia and I would like to stay in this beautiful country.

Sadly to say that Malaysia’s politic system makes me feel disappointed. However, I don’t think this is a barrier that preventing me from loving Malaysia. No one is perfect and everything has both positive side and negative side. Why not just focus on the good side and try to change for the bad side. I believe that “change” is a key word to improve on the nation.

Does it matter? Yes, Malaysian nationality brings benefit to me in term of language proficiency and so on. When I love, then I care, being a Malaysian is surely a matter to me because I love Malaysia!

Thank you.
