When I Grow Up, I Want To Be....

There have been times in the past where the medical course got a bit too much for me (bloody hell, it still does, doesn't it?) and it is during these so-called 'instances' that I start to question my sanity and soundness of mind on the day I decided to take up medicine.

This is not, however, to say that I regret choosing medicine as my pursuit in life; far from it in fact. It's just that I can't help but wonder if I weren't doing medicine, what is it that I'd be doing instead?

And like only a true bloke would do, I drew up a list of things I'd do in life had I not completely chained myself to medicine and threw away the key taken up medicine. Mind you, some of them were thought of after having just sat for my first and second professional exams, so that should tell you something about the emotional state I was in after answering those bleeding exam questions:

1. Burger seller
2. Newspaper/Tabloid columnist
3. Video games reviewer
4. Video games repair specialist
5. Rock star

But looking back, I realised something: even though I'm now a full-time medical student, I'm also a little bit of everything on that list; well probably except for the burger seller perhaps. Columnist? I'm writing in this blog, am I not (albeit not on a weekly or fortnightly basis). Video games reviewer? Always doing that with my gaming friends. Repair specialist? I've brought back my PSP back from the dead on more than one occasion in the past. Rock star? Always have been one, and always will be.


All thanks to the wonders of photoshop

My only regret is that I can't be Rambo due to err...physical constraints. Unlike some of us.

Now in DVD format!

Postscript: I promised my bored buddy Awe to post up a picture of the smiling moon (more like the smiling constellation, am I right?)

If I hadn't taken up medicine, I think I would settle for traveling around the world. And go to space. Hehe.
