Thinking About Career In Secondary School?

I do feel grateful that I can enter a well-known primary and secondary school - SJK(C) Sam Tet and SMJK Sam Tet. It's a famous Chinese school in Ipoh, Perak. Secondary school is the place where it shape my thoughts to dream, to be mature, to prepare myself for my university life.

I was a scout member in primary school but a red crescent member in secondary. Since young, I always wanted to be a doctor to help poor people in giving them more direct treatment and having a dream of going to poor countries to provide free treatments and medications. That's why I was a Red Crescent member in secondary school, a society which relates more to my future. This reason has been my motivation until today to go through all sorts of difficulties I faced in my studies and life.

As we know, to be a doctor, you need to work really hard in your academics and co-curriculum activities to have better chance to enter medical school. For your information, it is really tough to enter medical school, you need to go through all sorts of exams, interviews in the form of panels or OSCE (station interview), etc. I'll brief more on preparation for entry tests and exams in my next post.

If you are currently a secondary school student and you wanted to be a doctor, my advice is work hard in your studies! Score as high as you can! For now, you could also try to search for the minimum requirement needed to enter medical school. Your PMR(minor), SPM** and Pre-U ** results are really really really important!!! Don't "play play" with your results. Furthermore, be active in co-curriculum activities to get higher marks, I got a CGPA of >8.00 every year. Both academics and co-curriculum does matter your entry into medical school.

I'm also thankful that I passed my both PMR, SPM and Pre-U (Matriculation) with flying colours. PMR - 8A's, SPM 9A's, Matriculation - CGPA 4.0. I'm not boasting about my results, there's much more people better than me. The main focus is, if I can do it, you can too! Be hardworking! Seek help from others when you face problems!
Life is too fragile and too short to regret, stay focused on your dream and shape your future!

You? U? UPU!!! (A Special Guide In Applying Medicine through UPU system) Part 1

ARGGG!!! How should I arrange my UPU list ! !! The due date is going to come soon. I hope you've read my previous blog posts and realised that I wanted to be a doctor. Hence, I would try my best to put in an application guild for UPU application especially for those who wanted to be a doctor in Malaysia. First of all, I'll show you how did I fill my UPU online application. U PU application course arrangement list. Please focus on choices 1-4 as the choices 5-12 has been changed when submitted. Let me tell you some basics and updates about the latest UPU application (based on year 2017). Starting year of 2017, registration for both Universiti Malaya (UM) and Universiti Sains Malaysia  (USM) courses can be applied through UPU. It means you don't need to visit respective website of UM and USM to apply for their offered courses and you can save some money in buying a code for application as you just need to buy once for UPU. This breaking news seems good right? To me...

You? U? UPU!!! (A Special Guide In Applying Medicine through UPU system) Part 2

After you have submitted your UPU application aroun d May, you will be having around 2 months to relax or you take that time for your preparation for medical interview. So, what whi ch university int erview calling did I get at the end? Unfortunately, I just got UPM interview calling and was rejected by the other 3 universities. UM rejected me because of my poor Section C result for BMAT(I got email reply from UM) but for USM and UMS I have no solid evidence for my failure of application. So I asked lots of my Matriculation friends who applied medicine and which interview did they get and I formulated a suggestion list in how to order your UPU application for cho ices 1-4: UM - accepts if you put it in choice 1 only USM - accepts if you put it in choices 1 & 2 UPM -  accepts if you put it in choices 1 & 2 UKM -  accepts if you put it in choices 1, 2 & 3 UMS -  accepts if you put it in choices 1, 2 & 3 (definitely not 4) UNIMAS -  accepts...
