I Was Chosen Not Because I Was Good

So many things have happened since I wrote the last blog. Finally I can rest and sleep as much as I want. Life then was so hectic that sleep deprivation tranformed me into a neurotic and schizophrenic Potter. Tsk.. Tsk.. What an ugly sight..

Chapter I

Again I was cornered to be the Red Indian Chief for the Ordinary Attainment of Mature-dom for the second time in a row. Cornered because there was no way I could decline the proposition and no way was I chosen because of my calibre. Sad to say, the latter didn't help me boost my already-declining level of confidence in the World of Goons and Knees. The Head Potter who chose me didn't dare to approach other fellow Potters for fear of rejection and he was already instructed by the Higher Order not to touch some special Potters for they were reserved for their special jobs plannned during the holidays. Yeah.. talk about being the privileged ones.

Anyway.. I was more confident this year, being the Red Indian Chief for the second time in the same institute. The only thing that didn't change was my disturbed sleep; every two or three hours, I would wake up and check if I didn't oversleep. And as usual, no matter how early I wake up, I would still be late (it's a bad habit of mine which my dearest friends would love to strangle me everytime I'm late with appointments). Hmm.. I looked terrible during the whole Ordinary Attainment of Mature-dom; blood-shot eyes with dark-rings around them to compliment their redness. Sigh.. can never look like Sammi Cheng.

I mean it was crazy to collect the sacred scripts from Lower Delta between o600-0700. I promised my Second Echelon to meet him there at 0630 but I always reached there at 0640! When I told him to meet at 0640 instead after one torturous week of driving at more then 100km/h, I reached there at 0650. Sigh.. Maybe I'm born not to keep promises.

Everyday I faithfully swallowed my vitamin pills; two tablets of Vitamin C, one tablet of Multi-Vitamin and one tablet of Calcium. Last year, after the end of Ordinary Attainment of Mature-dom 2004, I had the most unfortunate fate of suffering a slight lung infection which nearly caused me to cancel my trip to Korea and Bangkok. I was in bed for more than a week, tossing and turning feverishly. The fever was so bad that I kept crying because it was so painful and I couldn't sleep at all. Went to the doctor but didn't get well. My darling Zah advised my parents to send me to A&E; that's where they discovered the lung infection. But alhamdulillah.. I didn't have to be hospitalised and I gradually became well to step on Bae Yong Jun's homeland. Heehee..
