i'm so confused.

my cousin just told me that the singapore medical board recognises some australian universities. this once again opens up the option of studying medicine. unfortunately, i'm not in the mood for having options if you know what i mean.

before this, i never considered studying medicine cept' only in s'pore because it'll be too costly to study in the uk (the exchange rate is really ridiculous). so when i got rejected, i thought, 'hey that's that'. but now australia comes strolling along and presents itself rather unexpectedly as a possibility. just when i thought i got it all planned out.

i did some research on two australian univeristy and found out that it'll cost a bomb and i'm not talking about the age ol' h-bomb here ladies and gent. we're talking a full fledged nuke. to study medicine for 6 years at uwa would cost about 400k.

400k.

my god.

its just ridiculous. on the other hand i've already been presented with a teaching scholarship and my parents dont need to fork out anything (i really mean anything) if i choose to take that up.

so on one side i can study in nus, my parents dont pay anything, get my honours and be a teacher (which is fine by the way) and on the other side, i can study at uwa, detonate the nuke, get the m.b.b.s. and be a doctor (which is what i wanna be and to be practical, it's definitely more lucrative).

argh. i hate these kinda decision makings. its extremely annoying. so for now i'm just leaving it up to my dad to see if he can afford it.

but even if he can, should i go for it?
