I struck "4D" man. S$120,000! Can you believe it?

I received a call from my GP today and he told me that my chest x-ray and my hepatitis B blood test results are all okay, giving me the all-clear to be in medical school. I was all set on that path until something really, really unexpected happened.

I got home from playing soccer and I saw some letters addressed to me from USC, one of the upcoming California universities, nowhere near Stanford yet but giving Berkeley and UCLA a good run for their money. And so, when I opened it up, expecting the usual flowery praises etc., I was shocked to learn that I had been awarded a half-tuition scholarship from them. I could barely believe my eyes. That's S$120,000 over 4 years man! This is unbelievable. PSC and government scholarships seem like crap compared to this man. It's free money. It's bond-free. BUT, it's not what I want to do. Argh! True, I can always try for postgraduate medicine back at NUS or wherever else in the world after my bachelors at USC but there's no guarantee for that. What if I don't end up in medical school again?

So I talked to my parents, my sisters, my friends, and somehow they all said things like, "screw it, burn all your parents' money for the last time while you can," "you still want to be a doctor right? then heck the money." It's a really tough decision to make but right now, I'm 90% or even 99% sure that I'll forgo the money for a guranteed place in medical school. I'll use this as an even greater motivation to make myself an even better doctor in future, so that this money will seem like peanuts in future and which I will laugh at myself for having been so flustered by it for the best part of a few hours.

Moral of the story? Money is tempting, and it's evil.

You wouldn't believe this. Being the fussy idiot that I am, I hate to dirty my fingers when I eat. So, about 10 minutes ago, I finished emptying my big pack of Ruffles Chedar Cheese Potato Chips into a clear container and started eating away happily with chopsticks, until, horror of horrors, I noticed that the chopsticks weren't of equal length anymore when I placed them down! HOLY SHIT! Where did that top 0.5cm portion go? I suppose it's not that hard to make a guess where that tiny portion ended up when I tried searching for it frantically within a radius of 0.5m around me but to no avail. Let's hope my alimentary canal can stand up to the task of expelling this piece of crap from my body, assuming that it did get into me in the first place.

First day as a relief teacher. PE teacher. Dream job isn't it, don't have to wear stupid office clothing and there's hardly any teaching involved, if any at all. But PE's only fun when you get to play with the students in games like basketball, soccer and captain's ball etc. Felt like a BMT instructor when I was told to make my students do conditioning exercises to prepare for their upcoming NAPFA test and there were strictly to be no games allowed. I made them run round the track and practise their static stations like chin ups. Boring stuff. Let's see what permutations to conditioning exercises I can do tomorrow.

Six more months before I embark on the path that I swore never to take back when I was a student. What an ironic turn of events!

Who Am I?

How Evil Am I?

I've never really liked reading the World section of the Straits Times. I mean, come on, politics? Zzzz... But lately, a few highly colorful characters have been making world politics very entertaining for me. And in no order of preference, here are my three latest "heroes":

1. Osama bin Laden

He actually called for a truce with the Americans! Haha! What a shocker! I remember reading about his inane preaches about how the Americans must be slaughtered/driven out of whatever 'holy' land etc. Crazy shit. And now? A ceasefire! No wonder the Americans gave him the middle finger in an indirect manner with a very diplomatic "No!"

2. Al-Zaraqwi

This guy must be suffering from serious ADD (attention deficit disorder). He must have been so jealous with all the headlines created by Osama, his boss, that he decided that he needed to re-hog the limelight to remind the world that he's still around by announcing, of all things, to ask Bush to convert to Islam! Like WTF!?! I think Al-Zaraqwi must be dying for a super belated new year's present from the sky and one enriched with uranium too.

3. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

This guy here, I really want to salute him. First, he tells the world that the holocaust is a myth. My first reaction to that was O_O . I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. And the next thing he said, "Israel should be wiped off the map." My god. He must have been craving for uranium as well I guess, not like they don't have enough in whatever tunnel in whatever mountainous region in their country that they are hiding from the IAEA.

My conclusion: All three are suffering from chronic ADD. Haha! Sometimes, I really wonder how these people came to be leaders of their respective fields: a crazy organization and a country, for heaven's sake! Oh well. At least they provided me with a good laugh for a day or two. Seriously, what if all that has been going on was just a super big joke?

It's been quite some time now but everything's still clearly etched in my mind. I revisted the place where we went, back then, today.

We were there then. You were still a novelty to me but I wanted to know more. Perhaps you felt the same too. Or perhaps you just had too much time to kill. I don't know. We ran together through the winds while our laughter trailed behind. Why, we even shared the same drink and wiped the sweat off each other's foreheads like people do in the movies. But today, you weren't there anymore.

Were you my activity partner? Or was I your rebound boy? Were you as curious about me as I was about you? Or did you just have nothing better to do?

Today, I retraced the paths we had taken together then. Because of you, I really thought that I had finally had it all. But now, all that's left are memories.
