*pauses for awhile to concentrate on shitting*

Okay, right.

I feel that I'm quite proned to backache and I can only imagine how much worse it'll be when I become a dentist(please pray for me people, please pray that I'll be a dentist..=( )

When I'm a dentist, I'll have a comfy chair nicely designed to suit the contours of my back and perhaps installed with Ogawa's machinery to soothe my aching back. When I lean back, a neck rest will tend to the aching muscles in my neck and squeeze them in a circular motion.

Ahhh...I can just feel it now. *lies back and bangs head on toilet tank* Damnit.

I could probably have a massuer come in twice a week and we can go into a special room at the back of my clinic where I would be given a nice long massage to soothe the twisted muscles.

I know how people are scared of dentists. Been there done that. I'll put soft music like Enya or Kenny G and maybe some love songs from the 90s(those were the best!) to set them in the mood. Then I will get to say, "Now, open wide!" and they'll be a dear and will do just that.

I'll probably work from 9-6pm.. but no worries because I will have an answering machine on 24 hours a day. Just leave a message and we'll notify you about any available slots. Maybe if I'm really into the whole money thing, I can take special requests to open my doors just for you at your convenience.

My waiting room will be stocked with magazines and lego sets(for the children, of course). Let's say if I'm not into the whole sophisticated interior design look, I'll take out my digital camera before you go and snap a picture of your gorgeous smile and print the photo out. That photo will go up on a wall which will be full of smiles of satisfied patients. ;D

But sometimes a change of plans, and a change and another, and another....brings you back to the same ol' plan.

When ck was in IMU, I decided that I'd try to get my government posting to be same as his since he would graduate one year before me and would be posted somewhere else first. I'd just follow whereever when I come out in 2010.

Then he got a scholarship to NTU to do biological science..which made me very sad because of the assumed 8 years LDR that we had to do. We even came to a decision that I'd take my government posting to Johor instead. Say only so easy, as if the government will layan my requests, but I can still try, right?

Then he decided that it wasn't a good choice and decided to stick with IMU to finish his pharmacy course.

Of course I was elated:) It was back to square one.

He found out he was offered a course at NUS(his dream university) but didn't want it. He appealed to change to the pharmacy course at NUS instead. I mentally prepared myself for another change in plans, plastered on a happy smile and tried to be as positive as possible.(a lousy trait of mine, I'm a pessimist).

Once again when he was all prepared to settle down in IMU, NUS gave him an interview for their pharmacy course. He went down without much expectation. He came back up not expecting much either.

But just when the sand has settled to the bottom of my glass bottle, fate stuck its finger into the water and swirled it for me again. My bottled water is murky again. :(

Knowing that I would be upset, he called me and you know, this, that, bla, bla, sob,sob, sniff, sniff, snort,snort, yea,okay.. I felt better after he reminded me of our original plan now that he is going to Singapore again.

We'll graduate at the same time.(2010)
I'll try to get a government posting to Johor.
He would have to work for the SIngapore government for three years.
Proximity you know.

After his three years in Singapore, he'll come back to do his Malaysian government posting for another three years. While he is doing his Malaysian posting, I'll probably be in the private sector already. Or maybe I'll stay with government but I highly doubt so.

At least he is coming home to Malaysia.

After establishing both our careers(somehow building a career with the government just doesn't seem like a likely possibility..it's more like a necessity.. why am I more inclined to the private sector in terms of career? Sigh. ), we'll be respectively 28 and 29. So old.

So how now?

Oh, we'll play by ear. :)

Talking about our future right up till we're both 28 and 29 did cheer me up. :D

Soon we were talking about our recent bedtime nightmares and a <hint CK>freaking cute Tamagotchi in the Female magazine that I was reading. </hint CK>

Oh, I'm so easy to be pleased. Just talk to me and put thoughts into my head and I'll be happy. :)

Okay, gotta go now. Backside's getting gangrene.
