Updates on my journey so far..

Hey there. I don't even know if anyone actually reads this blog but I have to constantly remind myself that real passionate writers do not seek for an audience because this isn't like a telenovela and so whether or not this blog actually gets the attention that it deserves (😅) does not matter but if you can relate to my whole experience, know that you are not alone, because I too have walked the path not many have chosen. I started off by opening up about how much life has been nightmarish for me since the day I graduated. I had been jobless for almost 3 years and I strongly believe that if you had studied a certain course or field, you are SUPPOSED to be working in that field and if not, that still makes you 'jobless' even if you are bringing home some meager amount of $$$ from some other pathetic excuse of a job that you got hooked on in the meantime. You know what really gets to me?  It is when some so-called expert nonsensically comments that graduates these days are too choosy about the job that they apply to. Of course we gotta be choosy you dickhead! Your first job forms the base of your resume' and if you can't even find one that fits well, what makes you think that the subsequent ones are gonna be any better? Success stories are numerous, yes, but it doesn't mean that just because some people are able to end up as millionaires after selling kangkung at the roadside, would this ever stand as an assurance that the same fate would be for every one who decides to be less choosy. I could go on arguing to no avail if people out there are still stuck up with the idea that education is just worth the recognition and the knowledge you gain from it but is of no use when it comes to paying your bills etc. You study now so that you can use that to work; simple, nothing more nothing less. Now back to my journey from one without a future to someone who can finally see something glimmer ahead, 2018 had indeed been that year that was completely dedicated to waiting for exams and the results and the housemanship posting. This could be useful for those out there who might be wondering how long does it really take for one to clear off the epr etc.. This is my timeline (which may differ from your own, but you can use this as a guide should the need to do so arises) so far:
January 2018: I registered for the epr theory exam which would be held in March.
February 2018: I was told that I was eligible to sit for the exam and hence was told to pay rm 3000 + rm 1000 for the epr theory exam.
29th March 2018: It was on this fateful day that I sat for the epr theory in UKM. There were almost 50 candidates.
2nd week of April 2018: I was expecting the results to only be released after 2 months as was rumored by all but ended up getting it much earlier. Thank God for the upcoming general election. Hurray! Went on to pay rm3000 this time for the osce..there goes my money! 😡
10th May 2018: The most nerve racking day - the clinical osce exam at IMU.
End of June 2018: The much awaited  (almost gave me a heart attack) moment finally came when I received the email regarding how I did and seeing the big bold print of LULUS made me smile after months of sombre.
23rd July 2018: Completed the online submission at Spai8 and sent my documents by hand to the human resource dept of KKM in Putrajaya.
.........and after a long period of intermission..
17th October 2018: Finally saw my name on the mmc register of doctors (still jobless but at least this happened)
So there it is..The timeline so far and now the next in line should be the change in the Spai8 account status from tiada apa2 pengambilan to telah melepasi tapisan. Hoping this will take place soon and only after that can I be sure that I would be included in the next intake for housemanship, so let's just wait and see. 💪
