I think I sort out my mind. I most prob will do biological sciences at NTU. I think the course offered is much more attractive than NUS. And what actually helped sort out my thoughts is the FAQ at the NTU website. They mentioned about doing medical research-which is what I want to do.
"If the motivation for taking the pre-med track is to work on medical-related research areas rather than to practise medicine, a better option would be to go onto graduate (Ph.D.) studies and work on medical-related fields." For me, if I become a doctor, I most likely won't practise, or very seldom, focusing more on research, which is what they pointed out here. Maybe I should do, like what Ms Loh says, study hard for degree, then get a scholarship and do PhD overseas, I think it is better this way.
Well, he got his pilot contract already, but he dunno whether to sign it or not-or rather he said he most likely won't sign it. He asked me what would I do. If I was given such a chance, I would grab hold of it, even though I know I may not make it to the end. I want the experience, which I will never get, no matter how much I long for it. So if it was me, I would not let this chance go by. I also told him the 3 people that I want to marry most in my life (haA~, or rather he guessed it, one time n bingo...so impossible), which kinds of, whether conciously or unconciously, pressurized him a little. Actually didn't wanted to tell him that, but he guessed it himself. Whatever it is, whether or not he decided to sign it, is up to him, doesn't really matter to me, I will just support his decision, just as long he doesn't regret it. Fantasies are fantasies, always have to come back to reality.
