Make a prayer, it's 111111.

Today is the 11th of the 11th month of the 11th year of the century. What a number. Sounds peculiarly special, love to begin, family to build, a knot to tie, a jar of wishes, 2 minutes of silent remembrance (Poppy Day). Today is a set of numbers to remember.

I dont believe in making wishes on any particular day just because the date sounds fancier than any other day. Muslims make prayers everyday, we pray to Allah not because we need, we pray for all the things to be grateful. But as for today, a gentleman Dr Kolyu Kirov Kolev with his fatherly instinct spoke of words that really did turn my world around.

Dr Kolev: I know u're into another speciality not to dishearten you. But I think u'll make a good pediatrician.
Me: Ouh really? What makes you think that way?
Dr Kolev: It's just the way you carry yourself around patients *grin*

On this memorable day, Dr Kolev! Today, you have made me feel like "Wow, I really do fit in somewhere in medicine!" That is the best feeling ever. So on the most memorable day of the century my prayer is, alhamdulillah for this motivation and let it stay. I love kids and paediatric might well suit me. InsyaAllah.
