JYSim for jobless-yokel Sim

So one says getting JPA is like winning a lottery, just that it’s bonded, and you’ll need to study hard (or at least, pass your exams) to qualify for the coming phases of the lottery.
For those who didn’t secure themselves for a scholarship, please know that I sincerely hope you’ll be successful in your appeal, and when you can’t get finally, please also note that getting JPA is not all oh-so-glamorous and easy. The bond is relatively long, and by the time we finish our bonds we’ll probably be greeting you guys ‘Dato’ and ‘Tan Sri’. My point is: look far into the future.
I’m sincerely thankful for being offered Melaka-Manipal, and India is, ok, fairly reputated for medicine. My pre-U college is in Sepang, and according to Wikipedia, ‘until 2001, Sepang is only known for its tranquil villages and miles of palm oil plantations’. But seeing my love for aircrafts and airlines, I guess Sepang is good cos I can hop on KLIA Transit and visit KLIA quite frequently, though the train fare will be expensive.
Until this point I can hold myself from expressing my sadness towards lots of worthy people out there who unfortunately wasn’t selected. Please appeal and my best of luck to you. Again, if you failed (i think failed is a bad word) ultimately, remind yourself that JPA is like some sort of selling-yourself-for-money agreement and maybe you’d fare better without it.
And speaking about worthy people, comes unworthy people who oh-so-fortunately got a scholarship. If you’re feeling angry and upset like me (I shouldn’t actually), let’s just assume (we’re just assuming ok) that they chose those colder courses that they don’t actually like, and they’re vague about what they’re going to do in life. And eventually they’ll end up studying the things they don’t like, and so end up leading a sad life and commit suicide ultimately (ok, i’m being cruel here, sue me). For those who fits into the category I mentioned above, please re-re-re-re-consider your options and decide wisely about your future. Someone out there is always in need of your place and they’ll be more than glad to accept it.
Now comes the ‘why this country?’ group. Seriously, I myself is sulking a little (maybe some, all right, quite a lot) over India. I mean…if they give me Ireland or Aussie, I’ll become a happier Sim Jun Yi right now. But again, happiness and greed is never very satisfied. Reading ReCom i found this guy (or girl) who’s sulking monstrously over India, but luckily thanks to the many ReComers who counselled (and some, lambasted) him / her, he / she is happy over it at last. I’m glad I have someone who shares the same thoughts as me, and seriously hopes that Malaysia will eventually become a more intellectually matured country (’this doctor is from England, sure boleh’ ; ‘aiyo, indonesia? let’s go quickly!!’) Seriously, Malaysians, good doctors are judged based on their hands-on experience and attitude towards their job, not where they graduated. If you’re judging the latter way let’s just say you’re an apartheid yourself.
Finally to two (2) girls who called me up always and expects me to solve their each and every problem just because they so fortunately bumped into me in Popular 2 months ago and laid hands on my phone number: please learn up how to use MSN and nurture some problem-solving skills. You can’t call Sim Jun Yi in Manipal and ask him whether to fill up your form using black ink or blue soon. For those interested, these 2 are from Union, no personal offence.
My best wishes to all my friends, and hoping I have the opportunity to greet you by ‘Dato’s and ‘Tan Sri’s when I’m 34.
