Kena "psycho-ed" today
(Tuesday, February 24, 2009/12:54 AM)
Went for another wallet-busting $199 consultation with my psychiatrist this afternoon. My mum was flabbergasted when she learned that I had to go for another consultation, meaning another $199 takes its flight. I know it's hefty on my family's finances... But I need some dire concern in the meantime, instead of worrying incessantly about money. Sigh... =(
Psychiatrists are super, scarily smart intellectual people. Don't offend one!
Me: I'm afraid all my health problems will reduce my life span.
Psych: How old are your grandparents?
Me: My maternal grandparents are well into their 70s, and my late paternal grandfather lived until 88 years of age.
Psych: So, from a genetic argument, you'll have a high chance of living till a ripe old age as well. What's bothering you then?
Me: Hmmm...
Me: I do not have a confidant to talk about my private problems.
Psych: Do you have a best friend?
Me: Yes, but he has a girlfriend, so I decided to let him go and carry on his life.
Psych: How about your friends in university now?
Me: They're good friends but not exactly that close where I feel comfortable confiding in them.
Psych: So, what do you propose you should do?
Me: Errr...
Psych: Are you happy with yourself?
Me: Not totally...
Psych: Why? What would make you more happy with yourself?
Me: Errr... More confidence perhaps?
Psych: So, what would make you more confident?
Me: Errr... *mental block*
She also asked me to write down 3 wishes, 1 of which I wrote to have a confidant, preferably a girlfriend. She assumed I'm UBER desperate for a girlfriend and began to advise me non-stop not to loosely find any girl to become my girlfriend just because I need a confidant.
Oh gawd, if I'm that desperate, I'd have found one long ago *lol*. I have solid principles in life, okay? =) Anyhow, she made me do a homework to assess my emotional needs, similar to Pastor Kong's recent sermons on relationships. I almost lol'ed when I saw "sexual fulfillment" as part of the questionaire. =P
Hoping the next consultation would be the last, or else it would be awkward explaining the situation to my mum, especially regarding the strain on our finances.
After the appointment and lunch, I headed down to JP for a long overdue haircut. Luckily, Storm was rather empty, and my usually popular hairstylist was idle and all-ready to give me a haircut. (^_^)
He suggested that I cut Luo Zhi Xiang's new hairstyle and I was like "lawl, seriously?". But actually, it's quite similar to my current hairstyle, just that my "pigtail" is gone, and the layering is done in different areas. But the general feel is still about the same, so I heaved a sigh of relief, cos' I thought he's gonna try something funny with my hair *lol*!
My hair isn't thick enough to emulate his hairstyle well enough though, but it'll suffice. Come to think of it, Weijie kinda looks like Luo Zhi Xiang. =D
Back at home, a random rush of inspiration hit me and I "composed" a song for submission for contribution to DT Zone's budding new CD. Hope it gets selected! =D Also attending my first ever church choir practice tomorrow!
Yet another boring edition of Benedict's blog news. Thanks for reading!
