INDIVIDUAL REFLECTION MOHAMAD FIKRI ATIF BIN MOHD MOKHTAR (920227-09-5107)First and foremost, I would like to thank god for giving me the opportunity to complete all the tasks in LGA 3104 assignment. My greatest appreciation goes to my respected lecturer; Mrs. Azurawati binti Zuhdi in guiding us throughout the tasks had contributed a lot in completing the project. Besides, I would also like to thank to my group members and classmates as they were very supportive and committed while this project takes place.

Before we perform our play we had to undergo a few processes such as selecting, adapting and last but not least process of performing. It is essential and vital for us to be fully prepared before performing our play. All the important aspects need to be considered before we perform the play. This is to prevent any unwanted incidents to happen during the performance. There are many plays to choose from. Each and every one of our group members plays has their own advantages. It took us quite a while to pick the most appropriate story to be used for our group play. After several discussions, in the end we agreed to choose Bawang Putih and Bawang Merah as the play and name it as Garlic & Onion. Then, we developed the script based on Bawang Putih and Bawang Merahs plot and adapt the story according to our own since the story have many versions. The script is one of the important aspects of the project. It is impossible to visualize a play without a script, as the script is the base for what appears onstage.The reason why we chose the story Bawang Putih and Bawang Merah is mainly because, it contain most of the important aspects that are required for what a good script should have. It is a very wise decision for me because we really need to consider all the aspects before performing such as the moral values inside the story, the theme, the plot, setting and the character in the story as well. It will make our planning and preparation of the play much easier. There are no doubt, even though Bawang Putih and Bawang Merah is a good story, it requires a few alterations. Minor character is added to our play so that all the members in the group will have a part to play in it. The lack of dialogues for the actors is one of the changes we had made. During the adaptation stage, we need to check again the flow of the play according to the script. Since the original story is taken from an old folktale that is originated from Malaysia and Indonesia, our targeted audience might be able to relate with our own Malaysian culture so that they will feel more relatable towards the story and will develop understandings towards the play. We included participation of the audience in our play to make it more interesting.

Our group was the last group to perform on that day. During our group performance on the stage, the audience seems to fairly like it. Although it was quite hard for them to focus because of the hot weather at noon, they still gave their attention to our play. We had tried to include the audience as much as possible during our group play to make it more interactive and interesting and also to gain their attention. The play went smoothly but there are still some problems we had encountered while performing, mainly because of our own errors and slight problems with the P.A system. We should have checked it thoroughly before performing. Nevertheless, we manage to complete the play well. Personally, I must say that I should be thankful to those who give their full cooperation and commitment when our group was doing the play.

At the end of the day, I had gained so many inputs while completing this assignment. I had learned many useful acting skills and how to plan and prepare a play and also performing it on stage. Working in a group taught me to be more cooperative and to contribute all my efforts and give full commitment to achieve great results and outcome. I learned how to be more patience and selfless, put the group needs before me in order to complete the objective of the assignment. All of this experience will benefit me in the near future and I surely will treasure all the moments we shared together in completing this assignment.As a whole, I think that I have gained lots of new and useful knowledge in learning this subject. As a future teacher, I hope that I will be able to produce pupils who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess high moral standards and who are responsible and capable of achieving high level of personal well-being as well as being able to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, the society and the nation at large.
