The Beetle Of Good Fortune

You may think its VERY FUNNY for a thumb-sized beetle to LATCH its hairy legs into a girl's hair, when said girl is cheering for her teamates. ESPECIALLY, when said girl is me. This may be a new approach to my blog, since i usually start out calmly. BUT, this beetle deserves it. Lets start the story: Its the table tennis competition and Alethea and I are watching Sam and Li Ting play a doubles match. Everything is fine and dandy, is it not? Think again. Out of sudden, some girl from raffles approaches me in a catious manner. The conversation goes something like this.... Girl: There's something in your hair. Me: Oh. *brushes hair calmly* Girl: Its alive. Me: *stops brushing hair* 1...2...3.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Next thing you know, the every occupant of the room is staring at me as i rip my hair tie off, shouting. Worse still, no one comes to my aid. Oh lord. First they say its BIG. Then they claim its a bee. BIG+BEE=HORNET THAT MAY KILL U ANY SECOND - naturally i freaked out. Then Alethea - brave and mighty hero she is - walks up and calmly pokes it. "Oh it's a beetle." *poke* Well at least she did SOMETHING. Better than the rest of them who sat there laughing their asses off. So i flick my hair left, right , center as people watched and pointed. My team mates playing later commeted on the shame i had brought on the school and how they wanted to run away. LIKE I WANTED A TOE SIZED BEETLE ON MY CRANIUM. Took me a while to get it off, and when i returned to my group, i was red faced with SHAME. And then Weelin and a certain senior named Jody teased and taunted me with a - COCKROACH- statement, making me squeal and jump. Not my most glamorous moment, per say. So Weelin proceeded to laugh for a good 20 minutes. I was not pleased. It was only then when i realised that at that moment, both school teams were wining and indeed, won at the end. Hence, i dubbed the beetle - the beetle of good fortune- and the nonexistent cockroach - the magical cockroach-, before running around to inform everyone on the insects' new names. Not my most glamorous moment, lets leave it at that. Though it didn't help that a little girl continued to laugh at me as i made my departure. I'm the beetle woman now... the beetle woman of good fortune. Who is off to soak her head in water. Farewell. |
