Friday, April 11, 2008 Y 9:17 AM Hi all Our class T-shirt is finally settled. Hopefully we can collect the T-shirt before the start of SA1. I must really thank the following group of people who volunteered to do up the classroom - Irene (big boss), Jolene (scrotch tape cutter), Wenkai (perfectionist), Yong Kin (laughter-provider), Dean (kind helper), Xiang Yew (the most initiated floor sweeper) and Ah Long (who promised he will stay and do the drawing today). Thank you for taking the initiative to purchase the necessary stuff and to stay back until so late yesterday to do up the class. ;p We must work as a class and do well in all aspects of the inter-class competitions - Punctuality, classroom cleaniless and noticeboard decorations. Do not let the effort of all the people who are working towards this goal go to waste okie! No matter whether we win or lose this time round, we must take it in our stride and take pride in the fact that we tried and we know we are good! ;p Okie that's all folks. A story to share again.. THE FARMER’S DONKEY One day, a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway. It just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. So he invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realised what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement, it quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit its back, the donkey was doing something amazing. It would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer’s neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, it would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
Have a great weekend! Mrs Chia Moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up! |
