Ponder ponder ponder
Just realized how fast time flies. The ang moh new year came and went... the Cheena new year also came and went.. and here we are.. it's March! Woah. fast. Very soon the Thai New Year will come as well (Song Krang, water splashing fest is in April)!
Here's just some of the things I have been pondering over the past week/s:
thoughts on my face:
The Chinese believe that your fortune is told from your face. Hence, they deduce your wealth & beauty from moles, you temperament from your eyebrows etc. So... if your fortune is told from your face, does changing my jaw with my impending operation mean that my fortune will change as well?
In addition, teeth tend to shift even after you have done ur braces... so if the jaw op is permanent, will I still ultimately land up with crooked teeth?
Will I have a speech impediment after (God.. the thought of learning how to speak all over again is.... tiresome)?
Movies
1) Walk the Line - interesting that you can be with other people and then find your soul mate. What then? The man in black gave up his family just so that he can be with his soul mate (and proposed 40 times too!). So lesson learnt... wait for the opportunity and if u see it, grab it with no regrets.
2) Brokeback Mountain - must your soul mate be of the opposite sex? What happens if your soul mate is of your species? Is it wrong? Hmm... thought that the movie wasn't so bad. Although i would have preferred that they dwelve more into how they felt about each other and became closer... and not just make out in a tent suddenly
At the clinic
How does taking chemicals make you get well?? Especially chemicals aren't good to begin with? In my stoned state of mind, I was looking at the tablets being issued before me and the question hit me. Looks like it's time to find alternative forms of natural medication.
While waiting for the medication, the clinic has this poster at the counter promoting various health packages (scans etc). There was one that caught my eye: Premarital package $128. consists of HIV check, STD check etc. That was kind of disturbing. Thought that ran through my mind include:
- where's the trust these days? If my would be husband asked me to go for such a package, I will have second thoughts about marrying him
- there's something wrong with the relationship. If you are the one intending on going for such a package then you haven't come clean about your past relationships with your current squeeze. I personally feel that a relationship that doesn't come with a clean slate will come back to haunt you sooner or later.
Yup.. as you can see... haven't really thought much.. ha ha.. work work work
