Kelumpang

dear diary, imagine the embarrassment of a man, well dressed and nice looking when everyone at the lobby giggles when his name was announced by the calling clerk. What a way was his parent to give him such an odd name, just imagine, Kelumpang!
Have you ever thought of giving such a peculiar name to your children when there are so many names that belong to the great scholars, artists, politicians when that Kelumpang was chosen?
That was the scene at the call out counter at the specialist clinic while I was on my appointment with the doctor, today. At the least the pain of boredom due to the long wait for the consultation with the doctor on duty was shot down with that name call.
I was on my follow up after my eyes operation during the beginning of last December, and today the doctor give me a clean bill of health. But with a prickly experience, when he’s done with the stuturing out of my eyes. Here you will realise that how important is to be healthy at all time!
But you will never border about it and only will do when the hospital bed give a calling, it may come with a slight fever and upon further check you are to be hospitalized due to some chronic disease. Or you may need to be on long term medication with that tablets that may come in various colours and sizes.
By then you will said, how regretful it was when during those healthier days we tend to forget all the simple thing that was to make us healthy either on our eating habit or our social activities or our way of lifestyles.
And as usual, we will stop only at the last steps and always we will say that it is never too late to stop when it is already too late for us, as usual we will only have ourselves to be blamed and that will burden us for the rest of our life.
Today I was there, thinking of the worst to happen. With a zero in my saving account and just dependable on my pension, my world will sure stop going round. And the rest, I dare not to imagine what is going to happen.
And again dear diary, I just can’t take of my mind from thinking of that worst part and I believe everyone of us do have it in our mind.
Nevertheless, life has to go on. And thus, no matter what, either we walk a thousand steps everyday or we jog around in the public park and mind our eating habit. It worthwhile to do it to stay healthy, we will never know until we have it, only then we realize that’s it too late. And once more, dear diary..
