I was rudely awakened by my parents who seemed to be more excited than me to tell me that they had received the late coming letter sent by JPA in this morning. They asked me to guess which country I will be heading to. I hoped for the word " Australia " to come out between their lips. However JPA denies my chance for me to be my cousin's junior. I got India.
Well, although Australia tops the list but I'm glad to get India. India has always been the well-renowned country in training the professionals to excel and contribute in certain critical fields especially in health care. Some people even stated that there are so many corpses in India, which means to be a kind of convenience or advantage to the medical students there ( try to figure out why :p )
Every one around me feels proud of me, they keep on complimenting me as if I already got my medicine degree. They asked me to give discount if they seek for my help in the future. They even started calling me Dr. Lui. It is still a long way to go, to be what they expected ( specialist, general practitioner, blah blah ) What I have to do now is just preparing myself to endure the hardship. I don't think too much. It is still not the time for me to decide which specialist I want to be. I have not even started my foundation course, to be specific, Cambridge A-level which I will be taking at Kolej Teknologi Timur.
I did feel abandoned when all of my friends ( JPA scholars ) are registered in one of the college known as INTEC. However how will it be if I compare the five-year of homesickness to the 18 months of not having old friends? From another perspective, maybe it is better for me to not relying too much to my old friends. As time elapses, I might be more independent and confident to communicate with every one there in English.
I'm still having worries about the interview I have to pass in order to secure a place for me in the universities in India, or maybe I think too much. Here I come, India :)

If you will call your troubles experiences,and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you,you will grow vigorous and happy,however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.
ReplyDeleteJin Xiang,
Promise me you'll always remember : You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
Don't worry,I'm here with you too.=)
Good Luck and All the best.
When I got Australia, I was disappointed that I didn't get UK. But after 7 years, there is only satisfaction and gratefulness, no disappointment. I am sure you will find yourself thriving in India. :)
ReplyDeleteTo quote my cousin: "It's not what you have that matters, it's how you make use of what you have that really matters". I'm sure you can learn a lot whereever you go if you utilize your resources well. :)
ReplyDeleteLife is always full of surprises and uncertainties, and they are what that make life beautiful and worth of exploring. So, remember to be grateful always and learn to see everything in a beautiful way. I believe the education in India will equip you with all the medical knowledge you need, most importantly, the surrounding and environment will make you a good and loving doctor =D Jia you!!
ReplyDeleteMy beloved friends and prestigious seniors, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYour support and encouragement mean a lot to me.
