• A Big Day

  Tomorrow will be a big day.
  
  There will be the final assembly. At night, it will be the 25th Anniversary Variety Show. I am the Stage Manager. While the class teachers are busy in distributing the academic reports to the students, I will prepare the CDs for the Variety Show. Then the whole school will head for the restaurant for the roundup lunch of the school. At 2:00pm, I will be on the backstage of Tuen Mun Town Hall. Rehearsal! Rehearsal! Rehearsal until 5:30pm. The school has prepared lunch boxes for all the performers and the workers of the backstage. Fine! At 6:30pm, we enter the countdown for the Variety Show. It will start at 7:30pm. Busy! Busy! Busy until 10:00pm. I have told the school that I will leave immediately after the Variety Show. It is because I have to enter the hospital for the scheduled rhinoplasty before midnight according to my otorhinolaryngologist. The rhinoplasty has been scheduled on the coming Saturday.
  
  Do these sound crazy? I do not know why every school year ends in such a climax of work. I will be breathless. This year’s climax even ends with being hospitalised. This is quite unexpected. I do not know whether I will be put into local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia. I have no special repulsion against entering the hospital. Whenever there are needs, you have to be laid on the surgery table. I consider the whole thing as a short vacation in the hospital. For the real vacation, the longer the better. For such vacation in the hospital, the shorter the better. After all, I still have no guts to be served by other people. In other words, I do not like to lose my dignity by having needs to ask for help. I have no choice.
  
  Am I nervous? Not at all. I am in fact very very tired now. Tomorrow will be a big day.
