ME
HAH.
I guess within the last 2 months since I last blogged, my life has changed very much. Perhaps the most life-changing one was that I was not even SHORTLISTED for NUS Med. Like wtf. I can say that now, but back on 1st April, I was depressed, disappointed, and angry at myself for being such a failure. In other words, BITTER. Everyone that I knew who wanted to do Med got shortlisted at the very least, along with some people who NEVER wanted to Med in the first place. And to make things worse, people I know with the same results as me got shortlisted, the Dentistry interviewers were like, "OHHHH why didn't you get shortlisted" and the Irish Med interviewer went, "How can you NOT get shortlisted?!!!"
Thanks, man. That totally made me feel better about myself.
But of course, once the tsunami of depression went away, it leaves behind a trail of acceptance. I guess I wasn't fated to be in YLL. Yet there still is a part of me that always goes, well if you had worked harder maybe you would have gotten that one stupid A and gotten shortlisted...
From any student's point of view, I guess I can say my results are not bad. Not the best, but nonetheless, acceptable. The Blemish will always be there, but at least it's in singular form, not plural. But knowing that many many many others achieved so much better grades than me makes me feel insignificant sometimes. I guess I didn't worked hard enough. I have been duly punished.
But looking on the bright side, I get a chance to study overseas:) It's VERY expensive, but I don't suppose you can put a monetary value on a dream, can you? I'm thankful that I have great parents who can support my studies financially (we are talking 500K here :S) and who have given me the blessings to pursue my dream. My parents were great last night while they were being interviewed by the Irish Med interviewer, and I hope *fingers crossed* that I can get into one of the med schools there. If not, then hopefully my ISAT results won't suck and one of the Aust med schools will want me.
On to happier (albeit trivial) things, I'm going to UK this July!:DDD Of course I'm excited; I'll be going to London, Scotland, Paris and maybe Ireland. Exciting!:) But I can't go to Japan as I wanted to in May; the Jap embassy refused to grant me my visa because they said that I didn't have any proof of air travel tickets and accomodation. I'm so sorry Geraldine, Audrey and Dilys:/ Maybe I will want to convert to a Singapore passport soon.
