dear diary (feeling a little cliche here),
saw on television something about justice, or being fair or just, in some hong kong drama show. this doctor, let's just name him A, realised that another doctor, B in this case, was helping a pregnant lady hide drugs cause the lady promised to ditch selling drugs and live on a normal life for the sake of her child. A then accuses B for being against the law and all those crap, and that this wasn't justice and he'll let the judge decide...
the first thing, and probably the last, that came to my mind was...A is full of crap...brainwashed by some idiotic rules set by man ages ago. If i find out who really set all these laws, i'll probably beat the crap out of him. i mean, who is he (or she, or it, whatever) to judge upon other people's actions? so you think robbing or even murdering deserve punishments like getting hanged or lifelong imprisonment? i'm not saying it's alright to do all that, of course all things come at a certain price. but who is the judge, or even us, to decide whether something is unjust? who are we to define justice as it is today?
every person has a different perspective as to whether an action is correct or not. like that pregnant lady i mentioned earlier. the judge or jury can simply say " oh, too bad, who ask you to go sell drugs, huh?!" but she's only doing what she deems fit and most practical and logical for her own survival and ideal. she may think that, at that given circumstances and conditions, it's perfectly fine and just to do what she had done. so who are we to judge her? are we that morally upright, that we pure and untainted, to pass judgement on someone who only thinks what he or she did was justice to her own accord?
it just shows how imperfect humans are. likewise, if we don't follow rules, everything will be chaotic. it shows how controversial humans are. but maybe, maybe, because of this imperfection, that makes us interesting creatures too.

urgh...i still have this habit of not updating my blog ever since i started blogging oline a few years back...no matter, it'll probably go on like this anyways...
alright, a few days ago i came upon an interesting issue, and it made me rethink about what i truly wanted to pursue in my future...you see, i've always wanted to be a doctor, even though i can't figure out what drives me, or if i really wanted to be one. but it has been on my top 10 most wanted career list (whatever that is) since young, but i've not been hardworking enough to work towards this goal. actually, there were lots of chances...bio classes in upper secondary for O levels, then MOE lifted Bio as a requirement into NUS medicine school...but i just let these chances slip away...
then i came upon this newspaper article, that some Taiwanese university was trying to get foreign students for its medicine and life science courses. i have a strong affection for that country, for you info, and i'm somehow tied to her. i got rather...moved...to say the truth. but you know, i've always been bothered about prestige, acknowledgement, face, and above all...money. i need a higher paying job. or rather, i desire one (who doesn't). pple around me ask me why i value money so much, and just glares at me like i'm some lowly being. but there are reasons, if not i'll be very glad with a job that feeds me and i enjoy very much.
alright, back to the news. i sort of considered the option to be a doctor in taiwan. moreover, does saving lives in some undeveloped region, or any part of the world, differ from saving lives in some famous hospital? conscience tells me no, but greed and logic tell me yes. i'm in kind of a struggle here... materials engineering, which interests me, or medicine, childhood dream, in some other country...i have almost a year left in NS, and i hope i can get an answer from myself within this time frame. this, afterall, concerns my future
