last wed knocked off an hr early to meet my mum and bro for buffet dinner at miramar hotel. it was supposed to be a make-up mother's day treat for my mum.. hah cos the steamboat treat on mother's day itself was for my popo..
i met yinyue and her family there! they were dere to celebrate her sister's birthday. haha so qiao. she recommended some nice dishes like soft shell crabs, chilli crabs, sauteed prawns, and of cos the shark's fin! i ate till i was damn bloated.. haha..
paid for the meal using my new POSB debit mastercard! haha first time i signed for a bill.. so cool.
while waiting for the bus home me and my brother counted 7 BMW/Merz convertibles which passed us. gosh that area is full of rich pple. got so many nice cars~~ =))
yest got news tt medicine results are out.. unfortunately i din manage to get in.. must say tt i am pretty disappointed.. not tt i has harboured any high hopes in the first place la.. knew my hopes are dashed once i walked out of THAT SECOND INTERVIEW.
my mum started on an encouraging pep talk. told me how she has nv tot tt a career as a doctor is suitable for me.. haha she says i am too fun-loving(lazy) and i will prob struggle in medicine anyway.
think i agree with her in partly but besides medicine, i really have not much interest in any other courses. i was always interested in studying psychology but i have heard so many pple say tt psychology degree is useless..
hai so i am really at a loss. i guess i will just wait and see where nus posts me to before making a decision ba.
the biggest mistake tt i made is tt i did not have a proper backup plan in case i din get into medicine. which brought me to my situation now. i kinda regret not pia-ing for some scholarship, just like qiuting had done.. my manager says i was overconfident. but i think it was being too naive and thinking tt i should "yi xin yi yi" go for medicine, coupled with laziness(i could not be bothered with applying for any scholarships which required me to write essays). even for my medicine inteview, i kept thinking tt if i had prepared more, read up more, wuld the doc be able to totally stump me with his questions on current knowledge?
thot abt it long and hard. no matter which course i end up in, i promised myself nv to live with any regrets from now on as a result of not being driven or focused enough. yupp. =))
