Future

2009 came in as abrupt as the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake Tsunami. Before long, I've already experienced nearing two weeks of complete dullness in my life with the occasional happening of events such as my trip to Penang, which was, despite my current situation, a very worthwhile decision.

With the journey into university life approaching relentlessly, some of us have begin to doubt the wisdom in the decisions we have made on our course choices. I for one, given a couple of years ago, would have never imagined myself picking up a degree in Science, and planning to advance into a Masters in Medicine to practice the art of healing.

Frankly speaking, I am not so sure that this will be one of the wisest choices I have and will make in life. On the contrary, in one of the deepest reaches of my conscience, that knowledge of a hardcore study life coupled with years of intensive workload is scrapping away what's left of my confidence in this life-changing decision.

I am not one who garnered perfect support from everyone around me. The ones I have expected to give me the go-ahead doubt my abilities, and have tried, to great lengths, to sway me away from my goal. I will not have it. For this is my dream, and I do not wish to see my dream unrealized.

I know this is a long and hard journey. I know that with my capabilities, which is not exactly mediocre nor is it elite, I will have to work twice, no, maybe even quadruple times harder than most people. But mark my words, I will persevere, and I will achieve what I have planted in my very heart, mind and soul.

I will embark on this perilous journey, and weather through all the hardships and eventually emerge as a victor. For this is the only decision I have made in my life, that I foresee myself, to never have a sense of regret.

So it is done.

p/s: Eric, I hope you read this sometime in the distant future to remind yourself to stop fooling around and start studying hard again!
