Sort it Out

I have been wanting to post this for quite a while..
Having just read my old secondary school friend's blog

Quoted:
"The positives are obvious. its a cast-iron job and i save my parents a hell of a lot where money is concerned (uni education isn't free).
but that means giving up my dreams because i'll be bonded for a certain amount of time. or maybe i'll still get a chance at them, but it'll take longer and its already faint enough, what little hope i have."

How true...I am in quite a fix now.

I want to study Medicine and I haven't been clearer on this before.
Even if it means taking up a loan, live overseas alone for 5,6 years and whatever it takes.
I will take a full year to prepare for my application.

But there are lots of uncertainties here. S$300k and whether or not I get a spot overseas.
So back-up plans...

Currently I am enrolled in NUS Chem Eng, standard course for PCME people like me. How should I put it? This course is one that I do not have much interest but I will probably do averagely well,graduate and probably land a job in a petrochemical firm in Jurong Island.

Well, then HDB came into the picture. Offering me a full local scholarship inclusive of everything plus overseas exchange programmes. Condition? NUS DDP I&S or Mech Eng + Econs or Biz.

I will have to sort this out myself.

Meanwhile I am finishing up the last week in SCS foundation term this week.
Hope to get some decent posting. Medic would definitely be the best result for me.
