What would you do?

It's weird how medics ARE medics when we all have a 2nd ambition which is totally unrelated to medicine.

Fair enough if you're a medic now who used to be dentist and realise that having looked at teeth for 10 years just turn you off. Fair enough if you are some research scientist researching on how insects mate, and realise you should divert your attentions to humans, and go into medicine.

But what logic does it make when you ask around "What would you do if u're not a medic?" and you get random answers like...."I wanna be an artist.", "I'll be an actress", "I wanna be a taitai", and the funniest of the lot "I wanna be a house husband"?

Sounds odd? That's us! Medics!

Was having a conversation in the car with a friend and she was telling me how much she wants to marry a RICH husband and quit doing Medicine for good...hahaha. Then she'll spend her entire life shopping for hours in this gigantic boutique given to her as a gift from her rich husband without having to spend a single cent, dress herself up all day long, go to salons, spas, mani- and pedicures, drinking coffee in cafes etc.

You may ask "Won't you get bored doing all these after 15 mths?"

Apparently, she did think about this, and felt that she's a person who's extremely comfortable doing nothing...hahaha. And hence, doesn't think she'll regret if she marries a rich husband. In fact, she was analysing the hours of the day, telling me how she'll spend the day shopping blah blah blah, and then before she knows it, it'll be about 4pm when it's time to pick up her kiddies.

I still think she's gonna be bored, but she reckons she won't and said she'll do charity to kill time...haha.

What would you do if u are not doing what u're currently doing?

For me, I'll definitely be a professional ballerina.
