revisit
i wrote this, back mid sept when i was, well relatively more fired up about change.
inspired by someone and the psychology of persuasion
in 6mths i am going to sit for mcat so that
in 1yr i can apply for med school such that
in 5-6yrs i will be practising medicine and then
in 10yrs i'll happily be doing aesthetic med (on meself and my already forming waiting list of potential clients)
=0)))
much as i still wish i could go into surgery, or pathology, i doubt i will (its abit too late to do these now). but i will find my niche in med, be it in aesthetics, emergency med, paedatrics, even flight(?) medicine.
i can and like to take care of people, make them feel ok, tink of ways to make them better.
true, there are tons of ways of doing it. education is one, and so naively i helped my co with our charity proj. grand visions, but time and again, not only did it disappoint me, i never really knew how it helped. cos they have issues surviving, and when it boils down to life and death, who really cares about newton, mendel or le chatelier?
so honestly, as of now, i dont really know of any better way to help others, then with medicine. always wanted to join Médecins Sans Frontières, and maybe one day, i actually can and i finally will. perhaps its being idealistic, naive once again because i am absolutely blissfully unaware of what it'll really be like. but it is a dream, and it is something close to my heart.
so time to cut down on social butterflying, spending, and wat not, and time to train for the marathon and mcat too!
my sched shld go something like, 4 days studying + runs/badminton/squash/etc (does window shopping count, i wonder?) + time on the new biz (if the deal pulls thru..*fingers crossed tight tight*) and the other days on ahemsocialising networking. =0)
i can do it.

breathless. at the thought of how quickly time has flown and things have evolved. what have i achieved, wat more is there, how much more can i go?
lots, and i will believe. in me, in life.
finger crossed tighttight. cos one of it is injured n cant be crossed. eheh.
