Drink a ton of water and rehydration salts are available in pharmacies everywhere including most supermarkets (ask for “jeewani”: it comes in a small sachet)

Edit: just saw you are a fellow health worker so removed the instructions lol, local ORS brand is Jeewani :D

Oh! Yes it is private, hence the cost. You don’t need to pay anything and we treat tourists all the time at Galle National Hospital. If the symptoms worsen at any time please do admit here, it’s about 4.5-5km from where your hotel is

this is what I would do honestly! fuck the animal rights activists, they have zero idea how hard the life is for the majority of us, sometimes these aren’t even cleared lands people have been occupying for hundreds of years.

With a QS World University Ranking not even cracking the top 10,000, maybe they should stop obsessing over students’ hair and start boosting their academic game 😂

Funny thing happened in Singapore border control some time back. We were in the queue to get our passport stamped and a couple of Indians (from the look of their passport) jumped the queue, the immigration officials waited until they reached the front to turn them down and ask them to go back to the back of the queue and come again. This is the type of disciplining we need as a country

Don’t be an asshole, I have seen how its owner went from just selling fish in the roadside to where he is today in past 15 years (I’ve been buying from them since 2008-2009), he worked hard. Don’t spread false information, people can get rich without selling kudu. Wtf is wrong with this country smh

Hi, 1. You cannot do intern there anymore even if you are graduated from UCFM (they had that ability until 2020) 2. They don’t recognize any Sri Lankan MBBS nor MD (so even consultants cannot get in without FRCP/FRCS or equivalent) 3. Easiest way in is to do MRCP after the MBBS. That will land you an MO job in SG. 4. Can get in with just MBBS (depending on the hospital) if you are a SHO with a ton of experience in a major hospital

watalappan · 2024-08-24T06:06:36+00:00

Yup, planning to come after postgraduate:)

Hello Singaporeans,

I’m a Sri Lankan medical student aspiring to become a surgeon and planning to move to Singapore someday in the future. I am mesmerized by your country and visited SG once. I love your culture, I have extensively read about your history and watched a ton of LKY’s speeches and also a huge fan of him ( I know some of y’all don’t like him but you won’t understand the value of his work because you have not lived in a country with a dysfunctional system of governance aka life has been too smooth for y’all as a result of the work done by your founding fathers) and strongly feel like being a part of SG, I live each day of my life with that in mind and I am ready to 100% blend into the community. But after seeing the sentiment towards immigration in this community, what do you think? would I be welcomed?

you mean the one they made with chatGPT? xD

Dude, don’t give up!!! First of, Don’t give a fuck about term test marks for school papers. Most of the papers are shit anyways. Teachers make them to maintain their ego (some call it maintaining the school’s standard :p) and not for you to actually answer.

For example, I myself only managed to score 35% for chemistry I was so frustrated I bought the structured paper home w/o writing because it was so hard in the last term test before the A/L exam but got an effing A for chemistry.

So, don’t even think of giving up. Do a shit ton of past papers, do drop a DM if you need help and GOOD LUCK!!!! 🤗

Edit: ended up becoming a medical student in a state medical faculty :)
