Que Sera, Sera

Along the way, there were a couple of questions on what Dr Og would have been if he didn't become a doctor. Honestly, ever so often when I get burnt out, I ask myself the same question.

As someone without much ambition to begin with, I would have liked to do something like teach piano at home..... though I have to learn how to play the piano first. Or maybe becoming a full time tuition teacher would have been great! But I would prolly just end up playing Xbox with my students the whole day.....

I remember when I was in Primary school, we were often asked to write the obligatory essay on "What I Want To Be When I Grow Up" or "My Ambition" or something to that extend. You know the drill. While other kids would write about becoming astronauts, lawyers, doctors (haha stupid kids), the ever so honest me once answered the question this way:

" I will like to be a videoshop owner and do nothing but watch video and sleep."

Of course I did not mention that my dream videoshop will have a secret compartment for you know what. hehe.



Or that I will get a FT to man the shop while I go snozzZZZZZe!


I had it all planned!

Nevertheless, my essay pissed the 40-year-old-virgin-teacher off. She reprimanded me in front of the class for my lack of ambition though I seriously suspect that she was angry only because my 16 worded essay was too short. (Dammit, should have included the part about the secret compartment.) This childhood trauma of mine ultimately resulted in an unconscious desire for me to prove her wrong. Thus I ended up a doctor. I will never forgive her!

Anyway with all the piracy these days, the video rental industry prolly isn't thriving like before. Dr Og will have to think of other alternatives should I decide not to practice medicine anymore.

I will really like to be a Char Kway Teow hawker. My affinity with lard runs deep, its in my blood (as shown by my recent cholesterol blood test). Char Kway Teow without lard is really like a man who cannot stand (without viagra)!


If I ever become a hawker, rest assured the kway teow I char will be dripping with fats. And the more hum the merrier! Come to think of it, I really regretted doing my electives in Dermatology during my 4th year in Med School. Should've spent the time learning this great art from the store in Outram.

Like any little boy, there was a time I hated girls and swore to be a monk when I grow up after watching Jet Lee's Shaolin temple. That was of course before I discovered the secret compartment of an unethical videoshop. But these days it isn't easy being a monk either! You may have to immerse yourself in icy cold water or even repel down a building...... all in the name of charity.

Dr Og is too chicken hearted to ever try this!
