was watching idhan sleep, and was abt to doze off when i recalled my trip to KKH for my checkup and papsmear/breast check. if u ask me why i get my breast checked by my gynae, i would have to tell you that altho i noe the steps to do it, i am never very sure of myself detecting any unwanted thingy going on. however, doct gave me great news, he says im clear of any breast lumps and papsmear went well. he says i wont have to be checked til 2 yrs. but of course i very kiasu, i told him i will return next year. better be safe than sorry? dun u think?
okay, so back to the trip. i took the train wit hubby and lil IA. when we stepped in, i saw a woman dressed neatly in professional wear. she has a very Paris Hilton kind of aura, but wat shocked me was the scene she made over her mobile phone. she was swearing at her boyfriend? for being a useless scumbag, and that she had no money to pay for rent and has to move out cos her "useless" bf aint working and not providing. she also remarked that with that mere paycheck how much can she survive with. i guess her bf told her off on her shopping cos she said then her shopping hasnt got anything to do wit his money. so the story goes on, and in my mind i was thinking how many more of these well-dressed people are actually having these problems?
the next person i met, was another professional looking decent chinese lady. she was at KKH alone, for her checkup. then i overheard a nurse speaking to her about her abortion counseling. she mentioned that she has to go on with the abortion cos she had intercourse wit some different men and she is not ready to have a baby. i was like errrr ? okayyy.. this is deceiving enough for the day. she dont look like a prostitute at all ?!
just when i thought i had enough Q&As in my mind for the whole morning-afternoon, i came across a couple who were discussing heavily on their financial issues. truthfully, i didnt mean to eavesdrop, but the 3 people i met are on a volume good enuff for my sharp ears to hear. ok so the couple were with 5 children, i believe they're their own, and age range within 2-8yrs old. they were asking each other with the S$200 they have from this pay, what is left to be settled before they can use it to feed the kids. the guy actually mentioned they had to top up the electricity bill, and that would be a mere S$100 (min) for em to feed their children. i was like " oh my... kesiannyer dorang..".
so on my way home till i reach my doorstep i was pretty quiet. my thoughts full of my selfishness on bothering too much on the way i look, wat i wear, wat kind of food i eat, complaining on every single thing i am unhappy about. these encounters really is an eye opener for me. now, it seems like every single dollar is so precious. and every single unfortunate people i see, i will try to donate, the least, to help them get thru the day. and of course, up till today and many many more days later, i can never tell which person who dressed with those blings2 and brands are actually really rich or they're just dressed to impress. of course some are blessed with good jobs and pretty rich parents or hubbies who can afford, but as for me, heheheh im just neither rich nor poor. and i hope i can guide my baby to accept this average lil family of ours. :)
and yes, our Idhan Akil turned 8mths on 1st march. he's growing sooo fast!
