All of a sudden I have the habit of observing other people and learn from their behaviours and actions. I recalled this friend from Signal Institute who earned over 3k a month before he enlisted and over 1k as a NSF. He would forsake his weekends to give tuition instead of spending some well deserved time with his friends and family. Not that it is tough in SI but still spending a week in camp.. well it still sucks.

Anyway, back to the topic, when I asked him why he is slogging his guts out for, he replied with a simple answer: so as to provide a better life for his family when he starts one. With further probing, I learnt that he changed his JC to one that offer him the course he wants, although he didnt like it much, went extensively to uni open house to understand more about them etc. It really showed how much effort he puts in to reach his goal.

I have always wanted to give my family a good life too but I have never really put in any effort to justify my promise. I had the option of studying 4 sub but I choose not to because I claimed that it would be too tedious. This in turn made it impossible/useless for me to take S papers, thus no chances at attempting for scholarships. And not taking 4 sub apparently made it more difficult for me to gain a place in pharmacy. Sheesh...All these just because I wanted the easy way out. Furthermore, I have shown no interest in finding out more about each uni. Bleahh... shows how lazy I am.

Bah.. I can only pray hard I get pharmacy. If not I just have to make do with chemistry. Regreting is not a option now.
