I am watching Oprah on Hallmark now. It is a special on OCD people. I realised that I probably have a certain degree of OCD but not to the very extreme.

At one point, I was so particular about my feet that every other time, I would be washing them. It was awful. I could not even go barefooted at home.

The toilet matter is annoyingly particular for me as well. I was just so, so particular about bathrooms and toilets that I become so uncomfortable whenever I am out of my comfort zone.

Not to mention, when I was younger, I had this crippling fear of something bad happening to myself or loved ones. My imaginations trapped me in fear. Just so sick and tired of all these.

But Christ has set me free!

For the past two weeks or so, I have been ranting non-stop about my boredom and my almost no-effort job search. Job hunting is never easy, especially for people like me who has yet to earn any qualifications. Not to mention, I have got absolutely no previous job experience, to make matters worse. I think I just want to settle for odd jobs here and there. I cannot be tied down with all these commitments. Maybe just not now yet.

For the mean time, I have improved in my daily living. Today’s Lent devotional article talks about seeing everyday anew. I thought it was really good. It is refreshing knowing that today is a brand new day. I should learn not to think of routines and cycles of routine non-stop. I should learn to see from a new perspective in life. Indeed, I have been helping my mum with paperwork, marking test papers and doing fun stuffs.

Tennis should come real soon as well! Just can’t wait.

During my secondary school days, I took up a subject called ‘Trading’. It involves businness, commerce and various trading issues. Although coming from a pure science stream, I always find an affection towards this subject. I enjoyed reading and learning about the hooks and crooks of trading.

One such chapter was entirely dedicated on promoting a product or service. I remember reading about various ways to promote one’s company, products or services. It involves advertisements, sponsors and various other outlets. One which I remember was to give out free promotional products. It is a way to contribute to the society while getting your brand or product promoted.

Just imagine giving away free promotional bags with your company logo printed on. Customers are more than happy to use those bags for their daily routine. Your company gets free publicity at the same time. It is definitely beneficial for both parties. Everyone is happy. How great is that?

I always like to go by the phrase, “That’s the ideal. But in reality, we do not live in a perfect world.”

Yes, the reality still bites in. The ideal is to get a medical degree by age 23, get married by 24, have first child by 25 and live happily ever after. Merry!

But in reality, I am approaching 23 years old. Yes, I may be doing medicine, but I am not even halfway through yet. Married by 24? I think it is more like everyone’s laughingstock now. There is not even a guy pursuing me and I am thinking about marriage? Super duper lame! Alright, have kids by 25? Even funnier.

See? That’s life. Meanwhile, I may want to explore into various things such as travel, make friends, tennis, getting an attachment with the medical team in tournaments and what-nots.

Life is short. Live it up!

I used to think I can never be able to handle kids. I first met my friend’s little boy early last year. He is cute, but I was already ruling out paeds.

This time around, I think kids are not that bad after all. It is very interesting to see their curiosity. It is the enthusiasm and curiosity that perked me up. I also love to see how toddlers meddle with their toys. I like it when they are filled with thoughts; trying to figure things out.

I am so into baby psychology, am I not?
