Jagadguru Sri Shivarathreeshwara Medical College (JSS MC) Mysore

It was 6.03pm, 19th of April 2010. JPA was due to come to our college on the very next day to tell us our university placement in India. Oh, and I remember the time because I remember checking my phone for Christine's misscall to go for jogging.
I was putting on my socks when alll of a sudden, Joel came bursting through our front door screaming that he got SDM ,Dharwad. He said that the list was with Miss Syaza and that we could check our names in the staffroom. Totally Unexpected~! (actually by this time, the placements for KLE,KMC , KIMS and Bapuji had come out already...so half the students already knew their placements)

So I ran downstairs and saw many people crowding around the staircase leading to the staffroom. I met Christine down there too and told her that the placement was out. (by that time, she already knew that she got MCODS) I was actually hesitating if I should go up since I was only wearing shorts at that time.

Asida suddenly popped out of the blue and told me that I got JSS Mysore.
*numb feeling*
I then asked her who else got the same place. It seems that I was the only Indian guy and there were only 8 students being sent there.Mei Yee,Loga,Wan ,Shafie, Cheng, Asida,Aisyah and me.
It took me 10 seconds for the information to sink in. *Yesss~! I got Mysore~!!*
*High 5 with Christine*
and then Shalini called to congratulate me. I don't know how but she seemed to have this 6th sense that I would be getting Mysore.AND she was correct~!
I was really grateful as I had been praying for either JSS or KLE. THANK YOU LORD~! :)

Why Mysore? Well..from what I read online and what the seniors and the Indian lecturers said...Mysore was one of the most beautiful cities in Southern India. PLUS it is only about 2-2.5hours to Bangalore. I was HAPPY. I'll blog about Mysore another time(based on my research on the net)

I quickly ran upstairs and stopped by to tell Cheng. HAHA~! I remember him dancing around too. Then I called my dad to tell him about the place. I think he was really relieved that I was not sent to Salem.

I continued my jogging after that and everyone seemed really excited about their placement. Next STEP for all of us was to GOOGLE everything about the place and ask the seniors there about the University, accommodation etc ..

So that was how I came to know that I was heading to Mysore. The LOOOONG and anxious wait was over.
