Let's talk about goats


Let's talk about goats today. =/

Domestic Goats:
Well, domestic goats are a subspecies of a wild goat Southeast Asia as well as the Eastern Europe- if i remember correctly-
Anyway, they are cateogorised into a few breeds.
1.Feral
2.Fibre
3.Dairy
4.Skin
5.Meat
6.Companion.
They are similar to cats. Intelligence and curiosity somewhat makes them unique.
Have you seen goats that can climb in precarious places? ( watch discovery channel!) -laughs-
That makes them intelligent. With any wrong move made, it'll defintely bring pain, in worst cases, a painful death.

So now i know that goats are clever beings. They have Soooo many different species! Living beings are wonders! It just inspire me further. Nevertheless, despite them being clever and such, i dont see this in the special one we see? Thus, not all goats are clever. Just like human, there's always a line drawn between wise and not so wise. So, i dont blame goats that are not wise, they just need people to teach them thats all.Goats. so cute!

Times together

" Meanings, moods, the whole scale of our inner experience finds in nature the "correspondence" through which we may know out boundless selves"

-start-
I was just a ne coordinator of my class when i was in sec 1.
I was just a welfare coordinator of my class when i was in sec 2.
I am a councillor by the end of sec 2 year.
My first camp as a councillor- Sec 1 induction camp 2006.
Then, I got my one and only junior badge.
My first job, Sec 1 registration where i counted loads of money.
Then, i got my one and only tie.
I loved my holidays. With only a few of us and always that few who came back to do ushering.- Bursary Award ushering and many etc.
I miss the times the few- new- of us went to nacli camp with the sec 2s.
I miss the times we sat down together during the nacli thanking the -whoever- for giving us the food! -lol-
I miss the times we sat down and gossiped abit, laughed about. and laugh at my dumbness&slowness.!
I miss the times we chatted over msn to discuss about the nacli proposal- old folks home, which we never did carry out =/
I missed slc last year.
I got my senior badge but our coords talked to us who didnt go.
I miss the times we discussed how are we going to get our senior badge.
I miss the times we stood up on stage, bowing to the school population beacuse we're stepping up as 25th SC
I miss the times me clare and was marking attendance.
I miss the times clare and me was taking down mintues.
I miss the times clare and me sat down to discuss about proposals.
I miss the times we went for camps.
I miss the times the first camp that 25th organised- Sec 1 induction camp 2007
I miss the times we sat down as a batch discussing how the hell are we going to solve the problems.
i miss the times when i ... many many things..
BUT! i dont miss the times when izwan and limying tricked me about the meeting for the proposal. i abhore it totally.
- laughs. i only just remembered it when i reminsice the past-
-end-

Leaders' Commencement Day's over.
It just felt like secondary school life is going to end in a snap.
The moment i stood up on the stage, bowing to the school population, walking down the stairs, there was a moment of loss. I don't know why, but i just had that feeling.
It was hard juggling with Student Council and dance together, seriously,they were equally important at times, but there was still a decision to be made.
When one was more important than the other,when one can make up for another, I dont feel comfortable leaving all those things behind for clare to settle all alone, neither do i feel comfortable leaving everything behind for Hui rong to settle. A sense of guilt? I know i shouldn't feel that. Yeah. Most importantly, Stand Strong!
Nevertheless, everyone did well. 25th Student council rocks ya?!
Only to think that all those things we did everyday were a mundane, and the next moment, I'm wearing the badge instead of the tie.
I kindof miss the times in camps, running around, contacting people, " ma'am nichole, i'm falling out" " ma'am nichole, I'm falling in", taking the attendance, taking down mintues etc.
Next time, we're going back as senior. yeah. It's cool. hahaha!

Our sucessor: Shannon & Jing Rui
I really hope that you guys will shine!. Ohya! On a note, the secretary file's a gold mine! trust me. Clare and me didnt realise it at first. It's invaluble.Priceless. Treasure it!
With Shannon leaving Singapore, it will be rather hard for jing rui. 2in1.haha!
It's saddening that Shannon just got her post and the next moment, she's leaving. It felt like, our baby has grown up and flew.
Shannon:
Wishing you the best of everything you can be despite you not being in Jurong. Don't forget that you'll always be 26th SC's secretary. Shine! (:

25th went through lots of hurdles. Where i feel that we can do things differently, but with consensus. Make sure the opposite party get our message, only then, carrying out things differently wont be wrong isn't it.? Maybe you wont agree. But well.
Once a 25th, always 25th! (:

You get to have SO MANY friends to sms you to congrat you for the sucess


and get to... (there're so much things)

It's over and yeah, it's over.
Everything. No more dance, no more musical.
Up next, it's Leaders' Commencement Day and announcing of dance posts.
Woo-lah. O monster will be right before my eyes.

MANY HOURS AGO...
I played as sarah.
I jumped about and complained about my nails.
I did things that i never thought i would do.
I jumped on Shawn's back.
I sang 'i'm feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright'
I shaked hands with the Director- General of Education.
I hugged Fanny and Stephanie.
I presented a bouqet of flowers to Fanny.
I said,
" Huh?"
" He grabbed me!"
" Min! PLease! You're giving me a headache!"
" Yes! i cant be here! All this dust is ruining my clothes and my hair!"
" Erm hello? What are these for?"
"What do you mean?"
" Ready for what?"
"Start? Start what?"
"Special~?"
"WITH PLANTS!?"
"Gee! That was alot of hard work! And LOOK! My nails are ruined!"
" And i think i'm going to faint~"
" James~! PLease! Oh! kai. I didnt know your parents were from JSS. My mum was in class of '77"
"Hot! In every sense of word, how do they do it without any complaints?!"
" Whats happening?"
" I still cant believe they actually walked from the old premises all the way to the new premises at Yuan Ching road! INcredible!"
"We must be in the 80s!"
"Oh i know one of the songs! 'i feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and bright~ And i pity any girl who isnt me tonight~'
"Joseph and the amazing techni-color Dreamcoat!"
" Wet! Wet! It's Raining! AHHHHH!"
" This is pretty severe! Everything's wet!"
" Wow! That was quite an adventure!"
" I admire the pioneers who worked so hard and remain such loyal and industrious people. What they have done is really out of their sincerity and love for JSS"

once again...
MANY HOURS AGO...
The show ended.

I heard the applause. It was so clear and that was the loudest and longest applause I've heard for my whole time dancing dances in school and acting in this musical.
Even until the end of the show, i didnt realised how worthwhile this experience.

School was my next destination after the long hours of rehearsals shows and a short break at home.
Physics lesson was as early as 8. I had butterflies in my stomach, as much as before the show start.
The clear reason was my classmate had a classmate acting on stage last night as a "bimbo" -thats what they call. - that was me, and i dont think sarah's a bimbo. anyway~
They were talking about how sucky the musical was.
Instantly, i had the urge. To cry.
Well i didnt of course, but tears did well up. It felt like acid slowly being injected to my heart.
When they were talking about that,
i was wondering how much effort we have put in.
How much hopes we have put into it.
How reluctant and unhappy i was about this musical and changed my mind for the better only when to recieve such comments.
How much time we have placed in it, skipping lessons and all.
And most importantly, the last performance i'm ever putting up for JSS.
It hurts loads.
Anyway, I got over with it.- i hope so! haha
I have heard applause, i've so many friend congratulated me and told me i did a good job.!
And hey! Whats' more better than that compare to a small minority who can talk and not do it out?
Cheer up!

We've all done well! Mangala! Shawn! Marlyna! Constance! Anjelica! Chorus!
Modern dance! Malay Dance! Indian Dance! Media Works! Media Club! Crew! NPCC! NCC! Choir! Red Cross! Band! Teachers! Everyone!

This also meant that I wont be dancing anymore in school.
No more.
Reminding me of times that i was dancing.
YMCA. Chinese New Year. SYF! Ballet under the Stars! Performace for Suadi Arabians. Performace at Taman Jurong CC. Performace at WestMall. 45th dinner. many many more.
i shall bring this up in the next post perhaps.
Memories are the best things that are being given to us - if that's memories we want to remember.
Anyway. there are that i dont too.
They are my struggles for things that i never tried, and dumbfound.
I've come so far, grown so much. Maybe one day, I'll have it my own. Doing it independently! (:

And..
I really want to thanks those who sms me or congratulated me on that night/ next day.
Wishing me Jiayou on days of rehearsals, motivated me. Well, i think those people i always hear are Nurul and Lovell, really. That kept me going. Thanks everyone! (:
And oh! When people say that he's slow, maybe he isnt that slow after all compared to those who congratulated me the next day. Well, that is Ang Wei Jian! His congrats came in at 12am.
HE WOKE ME UP!
haha, I didnt expect him to send it, but it really warmed my heart the moment i saw. The impression was so deep that it left me tugged in my blankets with warmth.
As a performer, it feels great with such thanks. As much as a small one. I keeps us going.
Thanks everyone. Even if you liked the musical or not, as long as you came, spent your time with us, saw us and gave us a chance to present to you the JSS Journey, I thank you. really! (:
