Chapter 51--Textbooks

Have been catching up on reading these past few days and most of the books that I read were actually textbooks! Haha, can you imagine that I only started to take a REAL interest in the content of these books only after moi have completed my bachelor education? Hee, have been revisiting my pretty much already rusted physiology, nutrition, microbiology and Immunology concepts and I am truly shock that there is actually so much interesting info in these textbooks that I had conveniently just missed them in the pursuit of attaining those elusive As during my undergraduate days... It was also only now then I realized that some of the concepts learned in Immunology were actually more well explained in a microbiology textbook! But again, it was only now without the pressure of scoring in exams that I can truly enjoy reading the content in these books on medical/health subjects which I am just sooo interested in( I mean, as a typical singapore student, in the past, I would just skipped whatever sections that were not going to come out in exams, dun wanna waste time mah). Actually, from year 2 onwards after I had finished the course on Metabolism and regulation, I am already pretty certain that my real interest lies in health science rather than life science and that I prefer working in a clinical setting much more than a laboratory setting but alas since there is no health science degree(nursing not counted!) in Singapore and since the modules under biomedical science concentration covers quite a bit of health science related topics, I decided to press on lor. Nevertheless, I still hope to ultimately work in the healthcare industry someday even if my first job does not entail working in a clinical setting. It was also my desire to one day have the opportunity to pursue post graduate studies in health science related discipline overseas but before that must of course save a lot of money lor...haiz, wonder when my dream would come true especially since I am typing now as a jobless dude... Hopefully can achieve that in 5-6 years time lah.
