1st ever H1

Yes, as the title suggest, I just recently got my AMS (Advance Medical Science) result and it's my 1st ever H1 in my whole uni life thus far!!

The reason why I just gt my result was because the uni needed time to finalize my score cos my prof in uk did not submit my scores back. Also a large proportion of my marks were assessed from my research thesis, which is a 10,000 written report, and that is why they needed more time to mark a report as opposed to marking normal papers.




So after 3.5 years of slacking, this came as a real shock to me as I'm always a H3 student. My best ever was a H2B and that's it. Although this was one of the semesters that don't amount to anything to my final medical score (as in they don't add this to ur final medicine course score, the score u use when u apply for jobs and fellowships etc). But yea, as Sheanee said, a H1 is still a H1!

So yes, I'm indeed very elated as this provided a very much needed mid semester boost for my exhausted brain and gradual loss of motivation. Hope I can carry the momentum for the remaining weeks in the sem!

BTW, Ekiden comin up. Anyone up for a run?

REAL

This is the tile of the manga/comic that I've been reading.It's a basketball manga by the same author who did SLAM DUNK, Inoue Takehiko.Unlike SLAM DUNK, this one has a more serious atmosphere, in that it focuses more on the character's emotional development and the realities of life, the hardships that people have to struggle through and persevere or give up.Afterall this is a wheelchair basketball manga, people with disability,pretty much like paralympics.




Here's one parts of the manga which I read and found inspiring:

"Have you ever been on a roller coaster, Togawa-kun?You're only riding on it a few minutes right? If you spent the entire ride thinking: Only a few minutes, a few seconds left, until this ride is over. The what was the point of riding it in the first place? Nobody knows why we are alive. We don't have the time to bother. Life is short, so make the most of it."

"The next dream...nothing goes perfectly for us. But being incomplete is what pushes us onward, to the next something. If we were ever perfectly satisfied, what meaning would the rest of our lives hold, right?"

"I guess having a goal makes you special. I haven't even found out what I want to do yet. But that's exactly why I've decided to live in the moment, this moment which you are ruining right now. Whether this job sucks for you or not, it doesn't change the fact that it's part of my path. I don't know how it's going to connect to my goal, but i know that it will, at some point."

Into the Fire

Into the Fire
by Thirteen Sense

(Grey's Anatomy Season 1 Eps 1)

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn I meet the power
This time, this time
Turning white and senses dying
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another

From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air
From Samaritan to sin
And its waiting on the air

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn I meet the power
This time, this time
Turning white and senses dying
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another

From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air
From Samaritan to sin
And its waiting on the air

Now I'm low I'm looking out, I'm looking in
Way down, the lights are dimmer
Now I'm low I'm looking out, I'm looking in
Way down, the lights are dimmer

Ooooh

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Come on, come on

I'd do it differently

If I get to do it again,
I'd do it differently.

This time for sure
I'd do it differently.
