danke schön

i had an amazing week! To people who were very much part of it, a BIG thank you!!! You know who you are!!! -grin-

Anyway, i realise i havent been posting photos for a while. I got reminded of the existence of this photo at ystdy's farewell:) It's so gd to see the doctors with their families. There were soo many children around! Those who were big enough were running all about; those who just started to walk were trying to keep up with the running children by dragging their daddies or mommies along and those who cant walk just sat in their parents' arms wide-eyed in curiosity, confusion and amusement. Whoa.. just picture that in mind.. what a sight isnt it? :)

I was just thinking, these children are going to grow up knowing a lot about medicine, knowing a lot of friends whose parents are doctors and some of them becoming doctors themselves. They have the family background which i dont. They may be fortunate but isnt the position each one of us are occupying unique? For that, we're probably "fortunate" in our own ways. I recently told a friend that i'm so thankful to be born in singapore, into this family and not somewhere in Zimbabwe. On second thoughts, if i were in Zimbabwe, there'd probably things i can be thankful for. It's all a relative thing... i rmbr reading a report on how the happiest pple live in Nigeria. If pple there who are struggling to survive can find reasons to smile and make the best of everyday, shouldnt we be ashamed of our frequent grumbles like bad internet connection? Hmm.. sometimes i wonder if everyone would be happier if they only focus on things that are really essential and important to them :) What do you think?

I hope i'll have many more "gd weeks" to come :D There's so many things i'm looking forward to doing before my uni term starts. Heard my department is shorthanded and i'll be posted back in May... Things will be different in 3 weeks!!!
