Neurology

having my Neurology cycle now. waking at up 6am, or even 5am if i have any study debts and leaving to class at 7am. talk about that.

Neurology is a little more special than other cycles, because it was my ambition about 5 years ago to be a neurologist. i was a little more specific when i said i wanted to be a doctor because i also wanted to be a neurologist.

why neurology? i don't know. at that time i know nothing about the brain (neither do i know so much about it now anyway). maybe it was because i was really very inspired by Dr Keith Goh, the Singaporean neurosurgeon who got famous from the operation of the Iranian twins, Ladan and Laleh Bijani, who were joined at the head. I was just in secondary school at that time, but i followed the progress of the operation very closely. Well, many people remembered him as the surgeon who caused their death, but i remembered him as the surgeon who dared to do things very few people would do.

about that time, i also read a book called They dared to be doctors: Elizabeth Blackwell, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson by Mary St. John Fancourt. highly recommended. It was the time i decided i am going to settle nothing lesser than to be a doctor. which is why i am here right now.

that was years ago. as for now, i like neurology. But as for pursuing it further in the future, that i am not so sure. after my flings with other cycles, i do enjoy many other subjects, maybe even more than neurology. but as for now, i just hope my interest in neuro will help me get through this tough cycle - cuz i am learning a foreign language ere!

Malaysian night is coming this Saturday, people left and right are talking about wud to wear etc etc. i hope everything will be smooth sailing...hahaha.....but a little drama would be lovely.
