I was munching my way through the bottle of Abalone flavoured Macadamia nuts bought from Melbourne when my mum suddenly mentioned that the bottle of nuts is from her colleague whose niece just flown to Melbourne to pursue a degree in Biomedical sciences in Uni of Melbourne. At that point of time, i was wondering what was my mum's intention by telling me all these out of blue.
Anyway, she continued talking without giving me a chance to speak up. I was told that her colleague's niece graduated with a diploma in Medical Technology which is somehow similar to us except that hers is Cardiac tech. And after graduation, she was offered a job in the SGH to work as a cardiac tech. Throughout two years, she worked as a cardiac tech in the day and gave tution in the night in order to save enough money for her further studies. Everything seems to be sailing so smoothly and lady luck simply smiled at her again. This time round, two doctors (one in his 30s and the other one in his late 20s) are wooing her but she chose the latter whom is a Pediatrician and now the both of them are going to Melbourne together for further studies.
I was also told that her colleague's niece used to be a chubby girl with dark complexion but she managed to slim down a lot by cutting down on all the oily food stuffs after enrolling into the cardiac tech course as she learned that all the fats will one day eventually accumulate in her arteries leading to unforseen circumstances.
After listening to my mum's nagging cum gossips for the past 5 minutes, I just replied:" So? U envy issit? Are u trying to hint something?". Although my mum kept claiming that she is not trying to hint anything, i knew she is trying to say that i'm too fat and maybe career downhill and hurdles attributed to that fact that i'm big in size.
Anyway, the story seems to be too perfect to be true, its more like a fairytale or perhaps her colleague's niece is destined to have such a perfect life.. I just believed that everyone one of us has our own rightful path in life, there is no point envying people. Most importantly is to curve my way to a bright future and even if im trying to slim down. I am not going to slim down to the fact that will become more attractive to the opposite sexes. Its all about having a healthy lifestyle! How i wish my mum wont nag at me anymore.. Sian*
