Ever made a difficult decision.

One point you really start to think about your future, right?
It was my last of school for the holidays and I was just laying in bed at 1am thinking about my university situation and what not.
You know what I thought?
I am really sick of where I am living right now! That's right! I really hate living in England! I have been here forever and to go through another 5+ years here is just way too much!!!
I don't want to anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being born in an Asian family, you have to and I mean absolute have you follow the rules.
You can probably picture my dad, the Taxi driving, angry looking man. But he actually is not that angry looking but he always manages to have my friends say "Your dad scares me".
So as I was saying.
I have those ambitions to travel the world, I know I am not the only one and I thrive for that to happen. Normally when I want something I end up getting it, but not in a spoilt way. When I was young I wanted this mp3 player, everyday I would stare at the argos book until I got it.
I keep going off topic!
I want to study abroad, with the expenses of university (cheers for that, David..) I don't think medical uni's are cheap anyway.
Ah, god help me.
Has anybody ever done something like that?
Traveled to a different country, your family thinking your mad and can't live without them? For a whole year?

Wow am I unhealthy..

So I had my yearly check up at the doctors, no biggie, I was actually told that 1 in a 100 babies get this condition.. wow I feel so special.
Saying the world 'condition' makes it sound 100 times worse so I'll just tell you that its a heart condition, again no biggie.
First time at the 'adult clinic' ah it was horrible.
It was a new building filled with young nurses and doctors. 
I of course had to go with my MUMMY!!! And well we didn't know where it was so we asked a receptionist who told us the instructions like we were retarded.
I didn't know what to expect, last year I was the oldest person at the children's hospital and now I'm the youngest! It was weird.
Want to know what I did, I'll tell you this headache of a story.
I got signed in at reception and sat down in the waiting room.
After 10 minutes I got called by this young nurse who checked my height, weight ect. 
And then sat back down in the waiting room.
A different young lady called me to monitor my heart or something.
And then I sat back down in the waiting room.
My Doctor of MANY MANY YEARS (basically my whole life and wouldn't let me forget it) called me in to also monitor my heart with that stethoscope thingy.
And then I sat back down in the waiting room.
I then got called my another young dude this time who had to do an ECG on me (Uh if you don't know what it is, your lucky!! Joke, its not that weird, its just like looking at a baby on your belly.. i think? Not that I know, the movies you see)
After that, I sat back down in the waiting room.
My Doctor wanted to see me.. again!
Then I sat back down in the waiting room.
This older lady took me into her room to discuss my condition in more depth and gave me a hell a lot of leaflets and said I had to know all this for homework which is weird because I had YEARLY checkups and I am not going to remember all that. Anyway, she started talking about babies and what not. Barf. The title of this blog has nothing do with was I was talking about.. sorry! Basically one of the leaflets say what I should eat and what not to eat.. and lets just say it was not looking pretty.
And then I... WENT HOME HURRARRY!
It was a long process. 
Of course I appreciate what they do. 
Ooo I got an interview as voluntary work there sooo wish me luck! 
Peace!
