Hahaha... nowadays to get into NUS Medicine no need triple science liao... Also there's the Duke Graduate Medical School, you can still fulfill your doctor dream... lol

I didn't do well in lower sec, got a lousy subject combi in upper sec and couldn't qualify for triple science in JC... back then, no triple science in JC = no admission to NUS Medicine. ended up as a Pharmacist in the end. But after working in hospital for a year, watching how the doctors slog their life away, I am pretty glad I am not one...
