Buffetting : Tentative Decision









Okay so thank you for tuning in my readers and bitches( they rhyme!)

The long wait of future career has been decided.

The plan is to get the both of 3 worlds, if everything goes as planned.

In order to kill my boredom in the coming few months, I've decided to accept the offer from UPM on the course Veterinary Medicine, though I will be pushed and begged to appeal all my life into changing the course to Doctor of Medicine.

Dr Hasnul from UPM, but Singaporean. Imagine me as sexy as him in 5 years' time XD
It's a long shot, but I will try for the sake of trying, and to see if my real destiny lies in saving human lives or other species'.

And if I don't like it there in UPM, I will have to opt for IMU or Monash MBBS. Yet, I'm skeptical in getting into IMU somehow, probably because of the amount of people I've known, and also the new curriculum outline which really ticks me off.

Part time lecturers, 2 hours lecture per day, and I freaking pay rm185k for it? Ello, quality teaching you're telling me?

Yes, self study bla bla bla, at least make it a 5 hours in total a day.

As for Monash, I will need to resit the bloody IELTS again thanks to the stupid writing. I will make sure I nail the writing to at least 7.0 this time. 2nd sitting and I can't pass it, I don't think I'm good cut enough to be a doc.

And the big shot MEXT scholarship, if everything goes well and I'm granted the scholarship, 7 years in Japan, and I either choose to practice in Japan or Malaysia.

According to my Japanese teacher normal doc takes 6 years of studies and 3 years of intern (OMGEE) and total years before you become a full-fledged GP ONLY.

Another 5 years to specialist.

But since I'm in Japan, no complains, I will do it as long as I'm there.

If things go wrong, I will stick to vet.

So its Vet or Med.

Nothing else for now, but I think I'm still fascinated by live saving scenarios. I just need to get the passion burning, after such a long hiatus from studies.

No thanks to the demanding family which wants me to do everything.

PS: Freedom in a month's time! No "BIN" right in the middle of nowhere, no expecting me to fetch who ever, no random calls to ask for transportation purposes and random questions, and best of all, no rants.

Wish me luck!

    If you get monbukagakusho doing medicine, I think the uni there doesnt get recognized by JPA is I'm not mistaken...

  7. just finished med school. but if i had the chance to go back in time to choose again, maybe i'd choose differently.

    i am happy (currently, have yet to start work), definitely no regrets. but probably there would another choice to make me happier?

    eitherways, good luck! and to me, faith is all that matters! :)
