Very inspired and motivated

Yes, I feel happy, inspired and very motivated about learning anything recently. And I have indeed learnt a lot. I cant actually describe how happy I feel when I find out answers to the questions I have regarding anything.

I have to thank my friend again for telling me many things whenever we're chatting. It's just SO interesting just listening to him explaining things to me and answering any queries I've got (if he knows about the topic). He's able to do it in such a way there was absolutely no way I can say I disagree. It made perfect logical sense, and I'm feeling really lucky knowing him! :)

Mum had been busy spring cleaning the Study and storeroom yesterday. Among the piles of mess, she found a book titled "Murder is my Business" written in memory of the late Professor Chao Tzee Cheng. I do not know much about this person. All I knew was that he died in his sleep, and he's a well known forensic pathologist in Singapore.

Thinking I might be able to learn new medical knowledge from the book, I decided to read it. Oh, by the way, in case you guys don't know, I have a keen interest in forensic medicine.

Perhaps some of you might think alike as my Mum, thinking that it's not a job for girls, and it doesnt sound pleasant at all. People might just shun me like as if I'm a ghost, and might start thinking twice about shaking/holding hands with me cos it's a pair of hands handling dead bodies. But I think these are not the issues worth pondering over for a long time, it's what I want to achieve should I do forensic medicine one day. That's the important thing that will give the essential drive.

Reading this book has in fact spurred me on about Medicine, and making me admire Forensic Pathology more. If only someone could see the big smile on my face while I was reading the book, I bet he/she will be curious about how this book can make me smile this much, and might even want to read a chapter from it.

And if being inspired isn't enough, let me tell you that I was so excited the whole of yesterday and today to tell my friend the cases I've read. "Why him?", you might ask. Cos he's someone who shows a keen interest in knowing more things, and he's seem to be very excited if I were to tell him about interesting things I have read or learnt. I feel a sense of satisfaction sharing my excitement over issues with someone who is interested.

Today, I read another chapter, and I love this part very much...

"Forensic pathologists must be independent and not be influenced by seemingly obvious evidence which the police and public are known to believe. This is essential because, with a conclusion already in mind, a forensic pathologist can easily find evidence to back that conclusion. On the other hand, if there is no pre-judging, the forensic pathologist might piece together a fully unexpected picture, and be able to back it up without any doubts."

Can you disagree more to this? I definitely can't. And although literally it sounds easy, it's definitely not easy because we humans tend to come up with our own conclusion for the story without realising it. Don't get what I mean? Well, put some thought into it. You'll understand why. I actually sat on my arm chair thinking about it for a few minutes.

Oh yes, I MUST share something with you that I totally agree with when my friend told me this:

"The Law IS fair. What is stated is almost 99% fair at least. But it's the lawyers that alter this degree of justice with their capability in the Court."

I was initially discussing with him about a murder case I read, and we started talking about whether the law is just. My claim was that it's not, and he disagreed, giving me his opinion which I can not disagree with in all ways.
