I've decided, my route, my future, my profession !

Recently, I received an email stating that I am selected for IPBMS - "International programme of Biomedical Sciences". In short, I'm offered a place in Monash uni located at Melbourne. But to be able to study there, I must first fulfilled the following criterias.

(1) Successful completion of the Diploma in Biomedical Sciences, RP
(2) GPA of 3.0 or better in DBMS from RP
(3) Successful completion of the Advanced Diploma in Biomedical Sciences, RP

Extra modules to be taken:

rDNA Technology (Taken)

Total fees: $5500 for Advanced Diploma in Biomedical Sciences

This will allows me to gain direct entry to third year in Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences. After graduating from Monash Uni, the two qualifications I will be achieving are:

· Advanced Diploma in Biomedical Sciences (3 years)
· Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (1 year)

Tuition fees: A$21,000 (approx. S$27,300)
Estimated living expenses: A$15,000 (approx. S$19,500) for the course duration

I feel happy and sad, I dun know why but happy is because I'm being selected my the long awaited programme since end of year 1. SAD, cause actually i'm studying 3 days and now for both semesters, I have to study 5 days, including doing my FYP, which means will be damn tiring and I need to persevere till the end of my race. After RP, I go straight to army for 2 DAMN years, i guess during these 2 years i needa really revise everything once again so I have no difficulty when doing my degree over at aust. I intend to do notes and file them up nicely. =D

My friends, have you guys ever seen me so hardworking before? as in willing to scarifice my time for extra modules, giving up gaming for education, doing my own notes, study study & study, burn my nite just for a test weighing 17% of the overall grade etc. Actually, I cant believe myself able to scarifice my slacking time for education. I actually dun give a damn about studying when I was in sec 2. DAMN, something really changes me alot but I believe it is changing for good. Someone actually inspires me to change for the better. Maybe when I was young I dont see the importance of education and anyone, regardless of relatives despised me, taunted me, compared me with other smart asses. Now, I wont let anyone despise me, even my parents. Mum, Dad and bro, I will do you proud. I vow to.

Friends, time flies and now I've met you guys for more than 5 years (1G is 7 years). For AH PENG, this friend of mine is special, I met him since Primary 1 so its 13 years. =D I believe, its time for you guys to organise a party for me before I leave for aust in 3 years time. HAHAHA ! Kidding.. I'm thinking about it now and definitely I will miss you guys alot alot. Ok dun think so much, for now I just need to focus on my LAST year in RP. Guys wish me luck. I need it !



Weiyi !
