Blowing my Own Trumpet

Continuation of Journey between heaven and earth

            Chapter 2

A fat Malay man,in his 40's with Transnasional  uniform, holding a piece of white paper came to check the passenger.He scanned the paper and passenger simultaneously with his big round eyes.From his appearance,I could make a smart guess that he is the driver.
'Semua sudah naik?' he asked in a loud tone.
No body response verbally to him.All just looked at his face for few second and continue doing what they were doing before-nothing.

I just batted my eyelids as a reply to his question.The driver played a lame P.Ramlee song and started the journey.I just covered the window with the curtain since it was an extreme sunny day.I guess this will be the weather condition until  April because the Sun is directly above the earth's middle line.Few minutes later,I started my usual  routine,day dreaming.There were few question kept repeating in my head.Will this work?What if it doesn't?Another disappointment?I try to calm myself and try to take a nap.Well,being complicated and over think are God's gift to me.Since I'm a Piscean and numerologically my birth date is 20,so I'm a number two guy.

Basically being a number two case(that's how few girls addressed me once)I always over thinks,being restless  all the time,can't stick to a decision and many more negativity within me,Maybe that's my nature but putting blame on my zodiac eases the guilty feeling in me.In the future ,I will ask my wife never deliver my kids on any number two dates like 2, 11 and 20. At least  my kids will leads a peaceful life.How did my life as medical student start?During my secondary school time,I told my mother that I would never leave Penang to further my studies,Now,I'm a final year medical student from Chittagong Medical  College,Bangladesh.

People look down on me when I told them where am I'm studying.It's up to them,but just by being a medical student,the total number of stitches that I had given up to today-304. Uncountable finger amputation ,5 lower limb amputation,numerous biopsy,mostly breast tissue and lump biopsy,assist 7 appendectomy,various trauma surgery,vaginal delivery and cesarean section,4 skin graft and more which I can't recall now.I done most of it during my 4th year..Fortunately nothing goes wrong-so far.

Being a student with this much of experiences is priceless. No medical student would done this.Maybe for many,they might feel that I'm blowing own trumpet,but this is the placed that gave me priceless memories which I will never get at any other places. How this happened ?A deep question arises in me.Since it will be a long journey,jumping into my dream world would kill some time I guess.
