Comment on XIan's Comment

Ya...I understand...that's why I wrote the previous post.

But firstly, Xian a...don't have such low self-esteem...you ARE smart and hardworking (hello...I've been your classmate for how many years??) and I know that if you put your mind to it, you will strive towards achieving it.

But the main issue here is what you really wanna do in life. Haha...the MAIN reason I never considered pharmacy, biotech, etc is because I don't want to stay in the lab all day long.

Hmmm...I dunno if this will help, but for me, I realised that I didn't have the right passion for medicine when I went to volunteer in the paedetric ICU in UH. Volunteering is way different from hospital attachments, and by then, I realised that I felt so awkward with the patients..didn't know what to do or say..and all I felt was just symphathy towards their plight and not the emphathy and burning to help. In fact, I didn't really feel the motivation to go every Wednesday. Lol...I know I sound so evil...

But during that time, I was already volunteering in SPCA, and everything was different. I could communicate with humans and animals alike, I felt that I really really want to help make a difference, and every Saturday, I'm RARING to go!

What my friend said is true..You only find out about the real situation in medicine when you work there, and experience it naturally, not through attachments or arranged programs. And if you don't feel the passion when you're experiencing the real thing...well...its probably not meant for you.

Maybe you sould try volunteering for a certain period of time? If you want the details, just contact me...

Pharmacy, Dentistry, etc etc etc...if you don't have the interest, then don't bother considering it. Law...erm...unless you like to argue...hehe...sorry la...I don't know much about it...just, don't let anyone else influence you la...its your decision...

Lol...there're loads of things that may suit your interest, ie...go scout around...it may be something different, but if you like it...hey, why not?! Yen's considering Marine Biology, I'm pursuing Vet, Wan Kimm is peobably going for animation...Its all out of the norm, but again, it lies with your own aim in life.=)

Hehe...Best of luck...If you need to talk, I'm always here...been havng these discussions with loads of friends...haha...PRS training hasn't gone to waste...

Lol...If there's one thing I learnt as a PRS member, it takes practice and a caring nature to be able to help others, but it takes TIME and OTHERS to help yourself. I'm "counselling" so many friends now..but when I was facing this problem, I had to ask advice from others. So...Nothing to be embarassed about...hehe...

You've got a few months before applying...try expose yourself to as many types of careers that seem to appeal to you...Haha...Maybe you wanna try volunteering in that Paedaetric ICU? They're still looking for volunteers...Lol...and go do research on all the other stuff. Haha...I'll help...=D
