Que Sera, Sera

House is one of my favorite television series. Whenever House is aired, Ammar would say, “citer mama dah start” and I would sit in front of the tv, Alya will be laying on my lap and Ammar by my side; asking a lot of questions. Sometimes, if we watch the re-run, Ayah would lay on the couch as well. However, I’d to skip most of the episodes. Reason: I give way to my mom to watch the Malay series (and I would be playing with my kids or at the computer with them) and during the re-run, we’re out somewhere; eating or window-shopping.

So, my husband bought me the DVDs (season1 and 2) and he still owed me season 3. Ammar will always give in whenever I wanna watch House despite of what he is watching that time.
These conversations are common whenever we watched House.

Ammar: Mama nak Ammar jadi Dr. House?
Alya: Adik nak jadi Ha-uf (as in House)
Ammar: Umaira.. Umaira.. Uamaira nak jadi apa bila besar nanti?
Alya: Ha-uf (as in House)
Mama: House kerja macam mana?

Alya: Cucuk.. cucuk badan (with the cheeky action)

Mama and Ammar giggles
Ammar: Sapa nama doctor nih? (pointing to Chase’s picture)
Mama: Dr. Chase
Ammar: Dr. Chase ni pandai jugak kan? Tapi, dia bukan boss macam Dr. House kan?
Ammar: Ammar nak jadi Dr. Chase- lah (biasalah Chase lagi handsome dari House).
Ammar: Kenapa Dr. House tuh boss? Sebab dia dah besar ker?
Mama: A-a Dr. House dah tua. Dah lama kerja.
Ammar: Ayah boss ker mama? Ayah kan dah besar.
Ammar: Lagi sorang nih? (Pointing to Wilson’s picture)
Mama: Dr. Wilson the oncologist. Dr. Wilson pun pandai. Semua doctor pandai.
Ammar: Ashraff jadi Dr. Wilson
Alya: Adik ha-uf

Mama and Ammar giggles

Almost everybody wants to be a doctor when grows up. I still remember during my early years in Primary School. The class teacher would ask for 3 ambitions. Doctor will definitely be my 1st choice followed by teacher and policeman or fireman (commonly recognized profession). When I grew- up a little bit (may be in standard 3 or 4); I read Enid Blyton’s : Famous Five and Secret Seven. During that time, I picked detective and still followed by doctor. I think I would like to be a doctor until I was in form 4 where I realized I didn’t like to read that much. I enjoyed physics class more than biology class. I enjoyed doing experiment on kaleidoscope, telescope or motors more than on habitat, ecosystem or re-production.

After my SPM, I choose to further study in Electrical/ Electronics engineering instead of Medicine. During the 2nd semester in my Junior year, I realized that I should opt for Mechanical Engineering instead of EE. But then, it was too late to turn back.

I graduated during the recession period. So, I just grab whatever job offered that came first. It was from a computer manufacturing company. Actually, I was hopping for a job with a semi-conductor company, but the offer came two weeks after I accepted the 1st offer. Again, I never like computer and I had almost 0% knowledge on computer at that time (be it hardware or software). I’m quite proficient now (hahaha) and I’m happy with my life.

I still remember “Que Sera, Sera” song, taught by my standard 3 music teacher.

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, SeraWhat will be, will be

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be
