MEDICAL SCHOOL

. . . .

started in mid 2011.
now it is end of mar 2014.
coming to almost 3 years in my chase to become dr. chua.
it's been really extremely tremendously tough. wanted to give it up and walk away on many
occasions. but something just tells me i can make it. i can do it. and im still at it now.


been wanting to set dis up to record the journey.
my thoughts, my frustrations, my disappointments.
and perhaps, record the cases i see, the things i learn in med school,
the residency, housemanship etc.. hopefully i will make it that far.


for now....
im abt to start planning for my mcat prep again.
scheduled for aug and i seriously want it to be my last one.
i believe i can beat it.


ive applied to hku and several med schools in taiwan.
was over the moon when i received the invite to interview with hku but then i think i didnt
impress at the interview. i thot it was a med interview, turned out to be just a general
admission to hku interview. i dun have much high hopes for it.
last check i was still 'under consideration' but well, i wish i score a med interview but im
just gonna be practical n realistic that my chances arent v high so letz just move on.

aft some time thinking thru and weighing my options, i decided to apply to taiwan.
why the delay?
coz the med schools arent in the list approved to prac in sg.. so if i am to study there,
i will not be able to come back to sg to do my housemanship or prac here in the immed
future aft grad. my ultimate goal of becoming a doc is not to prac at a specific place but
rather to go where there is a need, especially at rural places. so that kinda straightened out
my thoughts quite abit. plus the cost is alot cheaper and it meets my purpose of becoming a
doctor in  a friendly country.. so why not.

ive applied and i hope i at least get some interviews with some of the schools. i hope im
closer to getting into med school. the whole journey has been really tough and tiring.. and i
think i didnt imagine it to be dis tough and draining. killing mcat was and is still a challenge,
applying to med school isnt easy as well. filling up the forms, writing essays.... not easy man.

for now, just wait for news and continue to kill the mcat.
hope i dun have to do the mcat and get to taiwan or hk!!
