Relativity, it's weird. (See my previous post.)
Anyhow, I guess the past few months warped my sense of time out of me. On one hand, I'm feeling whoa, time really flies, it's already been almost a year since I last graduated from JC (and took those A Levels of course), and already been about 8 months since I enlisted. Things have been really busy at work, considering sometimes I was wishing I had more work time. Yet, on the other hand, I've felt I've done so many things in work, and outside, that life is totally different, and challenging in a different manner, that I'm surprised only eight months have passed by. I felt like it was an eternity since I enlisted, went through BMT, and did a vast array of things at my workplace that I can't really keep track of what I've done.
On the other hand, I'm trying to settle my UK University Applications now. And that is merely one problem down, if I ever do get offered a place there. The bigger problem, is getting the means of funding for my education there. I mean, doing a Medicine/Dentistry degree in the UK ain't no walk in the park. Besides having to stay there for 5 or 6 years, there's the tuition fees, accommodation, food, entertainment, and many other various stuff I need to account for. This easily exceeds half a million in SGD. Now, trying to find that amount of money in two years ain't exactly a walk in the park. You'd either have to have a miracle happen, a windfall or something, or a scholarship from some place, which is definitely very unlikely for me. Nevertheless, there is still no harm in applying for the universities, at least it's one problem down, and all you need to do is solve the bigger problem.
Actually, I've been hoping for a miracle to happen, my stubborn self has been thinking about it every day, hoping for that miracle to happen. Well, only God can decide. I can only do so much, the rest is up to the Lord.
He who believeth, the Lord will provide. I need to strengthen on my faith, it's still weak and fragile.
