Why did I choose medicine?!

"Basic principles"
There's been enough entries about work. I thought I would talk about something else this time.

I'm weird. I have the tendency to watch certain movies again and again and again and again... If I was sitting in front of the TV, going through all the Astro channels, if I had to choose between a new show or movie that I thought would be interesting to check it out, and a show that I've seen and enjoyed awhile back, 90% of the time I'll watch the latter. Even if I decided to watch the new show, I'll keep turning the channel back to see which part of the old one is showing, just so that I don't miss the good parts.

It's like how I choose food also. I would rather order what's familiar and guaranteed to satisfy most of the time, and occasionally try out new dishes.

Anyway, I was watching 'Hitch' a few days ago, which is like the 10th time since it came out in the cinema I've watched it. I don't know why. I can't help myself. I don't remember liking it all that much when I caught it in the cinema, but the more I watch it, the more I like it. The more I'd feel connected to the movie.

OMG. I wonder if it's some form of hypnotism. Haha..so lame..

I AM SO SARA MELAS. We even have the same initials.

Everything about her is almost the exact thing I see in myself. I see it more now since I've started working. How she gave up her time off at a beach to go back to work? That's so like how I'd hang around the labour room or come back to ward if I thought I could help around, when someone with more sense would run back home immediately. How's she always has a way with words? I wouldn't say I'm great at it, but I do know how to talk my way into getting stuff done for me. How she'd show everyone that she doesn't really care about being single? How she's protective over family? How the only guy who could sweep her off her feet was a guy who knew what he wanted, tried to get it, failed miserably but still managed to do it with flair? How she'd use her brother-in-law as a cover to make it look like things are going good for her? How she's absolutely lousy at seeing things as it is, and always makes the wrong assumptions?

She's not 100% me but she's almost there. The good thing is that the movie had a happy ending :)

Sigh. I think O&G is starting to get to me. All I see are pregnant, married women. And their husbands. And pregnant, married nurses and female doctors. When I hang out with my MO friends, the girl-talks will be about husbands, children, being pregnant and marriage. I've lost count how many women have asked me whether I'm attached, married, on-the-way to marriage, or whether I've been pregnant before. I found myself helping a fellow colleague buy a Christmas gift for her 4 year old daughter, and I was feeling so weird looking around in the toy shops or baby shops.

I like it here in O&G. But I think it's about time I leave this department. Before my maternal instincts start kicking in.

    yah, and when your maternal instincts DO kick in, kindly inform the rest of us so that we can be prepared for the baby shower :D I for one am lousy at last minute preparations ;) hehe.. nice to see that you're enjoying your postings as much as I'm enjoying mine :) and yeah, we're in the AGE where people will ask us about marriage, availability and so on.. the cafeteria lady in my hospital actually said "Hey, I'm actually one year older than you!" ---uh huh--- and she continued "I already have TWO kids!" *hint hint*...-- that was the cue for me to pay and smile and LEAVE w my food.. see? :) but i like being single.. CNY was worse: everyone is hoping this is the last year i'm collecting ang pau's.. *gulps-- no WAY that is going to happen* keep in touch dear! *hugz* :)
