I was a wannabe doctor when young.  Obviously, life took a different turn
and I am now at SGX.  It would interest me to know whether you proceed to
study medicine when you finish your JC.  Please keep me posted.

It is absolutely heartwarming to hear (read) something like that from a successful corporate I've never actually met personally, who's

i understand how you feel! kinda. because i used to want to do law, and then whenever some auntie asked me, i'd say "i would like to do law" and when i didn't get to do it, my words came back to haunt me and all the aunties (upon finding out that i'm in fass) will say "ey, i thought you wanted to do law? what happened?" and at that point i would just want to make them disappear. i myself wasn't even that disappointed that i couldn't do law, and there they were (unintentionally) making me feel bad.

but no one, can make you feel bad about yourself even if you don't get to do medicine, no one. remember that! even if people judge you, it's not their opinion that matters, ultimately, it is God's that matters (:

and i don't think you would be disappointing the person (who sponsored you) if you don't study medicine..he seems to be curious, rather than adding extra expectations on you

haha if i can't do medicine next year, i think i'll struggle quite hard with coming to terms with the fact! i know i'll surely be able to serve God any way, but being able to administer to people physically and spiritually is such a wonderful way to do it you know? like uncle boo chye and aunty rosie. yeah actually i don't think he'll be thaat disappointed, he doesn't really know me after all. i guess it's the disappointment i'll feel if i had to tell him that i didn't make it.

anyway thank you! school's starting soon (:

hey dear, that's like the only post that i can understand on your first page and i feel that way too! it's so so true, the expectations, the pressure, etc. but i am like more cowardly because i will always say that i am not sure when it comes to what i wanna do in the future. omg, and all along i had thought that we look at this difficult path differently! (:

oh, and i will try praying for you on that day. (:
