A Fighting Chance

You can never expect what life has in store for you.
Last Thursday, the fateful day I received my Medicine shortlist letter, I was hit with an acute case of food poisoning. But that didn't even come close to stopping me from going for the essay test on Saturday even though I didn't do well for it at all. Happily, I went home to have dinner and fate has Round 2 of acute food poisoning for my mum and I the moment we ate that fish. Back to square one. I fought to get better and at the same time prepare for my interview on Tuesday.

Have you ever had the feeling of wanting something so badly that you just know you had to give it your all?
While nursing my illness, I probably mugged the MOH/SMC webpages harder than I did for A level H2 Econs paper. But not a single question on illness/policy came out. Well, i consider the entire ordeal a test of my character.
The first interview went quite smoothly for me. Nailed a couple of questions.

I am not angry at myself for not being able to express clearly during the second interview. I was glad I stuck to my core belief and never wavered at all.
As long as I had got through to the interview stage, I would have "a fighting chance" (as quoted from Dr. Ho KK where I did my attachment)

Come May, I would find out if I am accepted.
