22nd March '09

My field of interest would definitely lie in pharmacy.

Since I'm one of the few who cannot stand the look (or even the presence) of fresh blood and will get all dizzy at even the sound of it, I cannot become a doctor. Therefore, pharmaceutical science was my plan B.

As I aspire to help people and hopefully save lives (even though people said "DIAN, PEOPLE WILL DIE UNDER YOUR CARE BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A LAZY BUM"), I want to handle and hopefully create new drugs which can cure and reduce my patient's pain.

I checked my MI Link way past the NUS/NTU/NIE open houses and was a tad bit disappointed because I actually planned to go there and interview one of the aspiring doctors. Then, I tried to call my Chem/Phy tutor who tutored me last year for O Levels because he was undergoing a medicine course. However, he could not be reached (I think he changed number), so I decided to just research on the course! :)

    We're sposed to comment on 5 blogs, so here I am! Wow, Pharmacy. That's challenging. Try proving an equation's homogeneous before drugging anyone. Just kidding good luck inventing a drug which is already invented or atleast try to improve on the current "Painkillers".
