A Little Introduction

Greetings :)

My name is Bella and I'll be sharing as much experiences as I can on my journey of becoming a vet doctor. In short, it is not easy. Before all that, I just want to share a little info about me.

Well, I was borned in Johor. Ever since I was little, I've always wanted to be a doctor or teacher. I've applied though to further my study in both medic & the maktab perguruan. I didn't even get the medic interview but then I've got the call for an interview as a biology teacher. I went there but then I didn't get in & I was so sad. I mean, what did it actually take to be a teacher? I was passionate, I got an A for biology subject, and all the other interviewees weren't actually too excited to be a teacher. And I was thinking that either I'm not up to their standard to be a teacher or that I just don't fit into that profession. But then I just prayed to God for the best & let him decide the rest. Then I checked on the upu website & that was where the journey began. I got matriculation as well but then I was afraid that I might not be able to catch up on studies with the packed syllabus packed time and packed everything, so, my journey as a university student started when I enrolled into the Diploma of Animal Health and Production. I cried & I hated it so much because first, I have to go to Sarawak which is miles away from home. Second, my diploma takes 3 & a half years (glad that they changed it back to 3 years after all). Third, not one of my high school teachers encouraged us to study for diploma bc they said it is a waste of time. Forth, I accepted the offer simply because I didn't have any other choices (luckily I am an animal lover). Fifth, I'm being honest here, I thought that Sarawak is an under-developed state which later I'll tell you about how I fell in love with this place and its culture.

So, anybody who thinks that diploma is super easy is super wrong. First of all, in my uni, to be in dean list, you have to get at least 3.75 pointers. Forth sem was hell to me. We have loads of reports that had to be done every night, we need to rear chickens like literally reared them chickens from day one until they reached the weight that can be marketed, we need to observe the growth of the chicken and quail eggs from day one until they hatched, & many more that I'll be sharing on my next posts. The first sem was kinda tough too. I've never used a hoe before let alone doing batas and planting any crops. Planting was never my thing. Not that I'm spoiled or something but planting requires a lot of hard works. You need to water them, weed them, fertilize them, talk to them (this is serious though so that that'll grow faster & better), and before planting you also need to identify the suitable ground pH for a certain plant to be grown, and if the pH is not suitable you have to modify the medium. Not that being involved in veterinary sector is easy, but I love animals, all of them. So if you put passion together with hardwork, anything is possible.

I am just hoping that my blog will be one of your sources of positivity. I mean, good knowledge or experience ought to be shared. And one day, I might forget everything I did that allows me to stand on my position I'm standing right now, or in the future I might not be able to tell all the things I did when my grandchildren ask me, or maybe I'd just like to reminisce to appreciate what I had, so this blog will be one of my precious things to keep. And I'd also like to hear some opinions or experiences from others! Till then!
