Hi Holly! Good that we finally organised which part we are taking :p I'm thinking that your part (part A; FeiFei) has abit of a more timid character and my character (Chen Jing) is more straight foreward and if you like, abit more bitchy lol. So we should practice our scripts with that in mind. What props do you think we should have? Since its just a conversation between 2 friends, maybe we could be sitting in a cafe so just coffee cups or something on the lines of that. Tell me what you think.

Hi Alex! I am so stupid when it comes to computer stuff! even after you told me how to find the posts I still spent like 20 mins trying to find it! haha, so...i completely agree that Cheng Jing is very forward and deceitful too. Shes a terrible best friend to LiLi, firstly she has to order lobster and act rude towards Zhang Liang when she goes to dinner with them. Now shes trying to encourage FeiFei to try and be with him, her best friends boyfriend! I think Cheng Jing is really sneaky! haha, and I dont know if I like FeiFei either. even though she now knows Zhang Liang has a girlfriend, she seems pretty willing to let Cheng Jing convince her that their relationship isnt very serious. Now both Lili and Zhang Li have other potential admirers, Lili's ex-boyfriend and Zhang Li's collegue, which is good because I was feeling sorry for poor Zhang Liang being worried over Lili's ex-boyfriend. I think coffee cups are a perfect idea! and well need a business card too! I'm in Melbourne this weekend and am going to be a bit busy but ill keep checking the forum and try to put up some more posts about more ideas if i can! when should we meet up to rehearse? i think were gonna have fun with this dialogue! ox

Hi! Don't worry about all the posts. At least we got there in the end :P. I'm actually getting quite excited about the whole play. I get abit nervous in public speaking but we have palm cards just incase we have a mind blank so thats calming the nerves just a little bit... You have a point, it's silly that FeiFei is so easily pushed around.. hahaha since you're Feifei you could in some lines have abit of a wingy tone? I always find that people that are so uncertain and easily pushed around winge quite abit, so it could add abit to the character. What do you think? Maybe in the lines where she talks about how all the good men were taken and then when she talks about how could she steal Cheng Jing's boyfriend. So we agree that both Cheng Jing and FeiFei both have their flaws. Maybe they are the villains of the story in a way :p Ok so coffee cups from uni should be ok. Just buy a coffee before during the day and keep it with you and I shall do the same. Thats right...the business card. I almost forgot about that..oops. Maybe we can just use your student card and pretend that it is a business card? How's the memorising going? Untill we have memorised it almost perfectly I think there is no point meeting up to rehearse. Let me know when you think would be a good time. Have fun in Melbourne! :p ox
