brought sufiyan to the polyclinic just now. that poor boy was sneezing his heart out all the way to the polyclinic. blood shot eyes, a sneezing fit. that boy was in really bad shape. then we reached our destination and we waited patiently for his turn to see the doctor which thank goodness didnt take too long. and when his turn finally came, i went in with him. but the doctor asked me go out when i was in because i was just a girlfriend. perhaps it was the way he asked me to go out. i did feel humiliated. as if i was a little child and a juvenile who skipped school to send her boyfrined (which she is too young to have) to the clinic out of over reacting sympathy. i have never been fan of the service at polyclinics. too many bad experinces. from doctors who speak too softly to women at the counter screaming at my dad, i dread going to polyclinics. service sucks, to say at the very least. so yes i very much prefer doctor lim, whose i have been under since i was born. so yes back to what i was saying i did feel humiliated. and that set me thinking(while i was waiting again, for the medicine at the pharmacy), this whole going steady business. this whole girlfriend and boyfriend business. what value does your girlfriend or boyfriend have in the eyes of your peers and family. your other half is not bonded to you by anthing. not by contract and definitely not by blood. the relationship is so fragile and can be ended at anytime, anyplace. all you have is trust. but we know of too many stories where this trust is thrown away just as easily as it was gained. Shakespeare was right. what's in a name. i'm just a girlfriend. it's just a label. people around me or around him dont take it seriously, at all. but yet, why am i sucked it this whole idea. because i choose to ignore what other people around me think. so yes that rude doctor snubbed me. but he doesnt know what i have been through. he might think that i am too young, but he knows nothing. he could have talked to me in a more polite manner but i forgive his ignorance and his lack of manners. so yes i guess all's good.
