I'm no material girl

Hello world, we're 6 days into the new year, and I'm 6 days to the start of school. Time's been slipping by so quickly! I've been effectively wasting my life away by waking up at 2pm everyday this week. My bio clock is rather wired up. Oh well, it's the holidays afterall. Haha

Accompanied mum for check ups ystd and today. Our visit to XX hospital ystd has left me thinking alot. The doctor's attitude stunk. When we requested for another scan, she went, "If you think you are so rich, then you go and do another loh. Anyway I told you, the fibroid won't shrink. It'd grow bigger and bigger till it bursts I tell you. Then you die loh." Seriously, what kind of doctor is that?! Talk about having some medical ethics. Hah. I mean, if you don't love to help people then why be a doctor. I can't stand people who do jobs when they don't even have the passion for it. I mean, if you're passionate about a cleaning job, go for it! Don't ever do something you don't like in the first place for the prestige or $$ and then destroy others. After hearing several stories and having first hand experience with this particular hospital, I think if I ever give birth, I'm gonna make sure I'm able to afford a private one.

And so, Mum went to Mount E for a second opinion today and thank God for a nicer doctor who wasn't pmsing and having a mood swing. They were so kind. Though it was a private hospital, they were more than willing to help us work out our finances and the sizeable bill of the operation and hospitalization fees. I think I've read the most number of magazines in my life in these few days during all the time I spent waiting. Thing I hate about reading mags is that they never fail to leave me uncontented- wishing I was richer so I could get all the pretty and branded stuff on the magazines, wishing I could live the high life too, wishing I could write like they did, wishing my diet plans would work so I could be like the models in the magazines etc. And there's really no end to it.

It's true that sometimes I wish I didn't have to worry about finances. But I don't blame God for putting me in where I am and I know there's a reason why I'm made the way I am made. There's a reason why I'll never be an economist, or a nurse, or an air stewardess. I am thankful for everything that God has given to me and I'm excited to find out the plans He has for me. It's so cool how each person's life is unique. No two people are exactly the same. Sometimes I find myself so caught up being envious of other people's callings, that I forget that God has given me a specific calling as well. It might not be like Rein Hart Bonkke's or Billy Graham's but everyone has their own part to play. I started on a few projects this year. One of it is where I take a cool photo a day and post it somewhere, the other is where I've to make an impact on someone else's life each day (Can be something small like giving up a seat or praying for someone who's sick.) ! It's been pretty fun doing both. Life's been so much more meaningful this way!

I'm counting down to the last few days of holidays I have till next year. I'm counting down till Shu's and Gladysc's departure. Okay not exactly "counting down" for any of the above. It's just that the clock is ticking and I can't do anything but to make whatever time I've left fruitful!

One more week.
