AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Wednesday, January 16, 2008


Today, we celebrated the 75th Anniversary of CHIJ st nicholas girls school.
Let me digress for a while. Did you know that in the same year that St Nic was built, Hitler was elected German Chancellor?
Thats a bad omen.
Trust me.
But, we have some good news as well.
In the same year that St Nic was built, the BBC was founded and started its first broadcast.
Thats good.
I like BBC.
Anyway, there was this prayer thingy called Mass.
Now, I'm a free thinker. Mass to me means how heavy the object is, i.e. the weight, but that's something different.
Anyway, we released two birds. We were supposed to release two birds, I mean. When they opened the cage, the birds didn't know they were free!
They took out the bottom of the cage and poked one bird. The bird flew out, and dropped on the ground.
Big groan.
It starts flying again, but quite near to the ground.
Big cheer.
It falls to the ground, gets up again, falls to the ground, and stays there.
Big groan plus murmuring.
They open the top part of the cage and prod the other bird.
This time the bird flies high and away.
Big cheer plus standing ovation.
Hmm. Not bad for a bird.
BUT
This is where the blood and gore starts.
When it landed somewhere near the track, a big crow swooped down and grabbed it in its jaws.
I mean beak.
BIG BIG BIG SCREAMS FROM CROWD.
it flew to the top of the light and dropped the bird. THe bird tried to fly away, but the cow, sorry, crow, is too big and fast and grabbs it again.
And it eats it right in front of our eyes as it flies away.
Not a good omen.
As for the other little birdie, it stays there till the end of Weight of Object.
Then one of the Brothers goes with the cage and tries to recapture it. And it flits away, hovering just above the ground, before landing.
And so begins a wild goose chase, which results in a lot of oohs and ahhs from the audience [i.e. every St Nic girl except me].
And screams.
See, a crow made a pass at the bird, but I think the screams scared it away.
Looks like barbie pink is some good after all.
Anyway, what was I saying...
Oh yeah, the wild goose; I mean bird chase.
Finally, five people cornered the little coward and caught it.
Hooray! another standing ovation.
At the noon prayer they prayed for the little bird who lost its life.
Lessons Learnt: No.1 the birds were supposed to represent St Nic girls, so thats bad. No. 2. It means that when we finally have freedom we will be so pampered that we don't know how to be free and we'll be captured again. No. 3 If we manage to fly high in the real world, sooner or later, probably sooner, we'll get eaten up by a big fat preadator.
