But now when I'm at the stage before entering university, I've totally lost it. I just don't feel like studying. A levels is just tough and stupid. I hate it. I hate all of the subjects I took (Psych, Math, Bio, Chem and LLE(as)) but those were the only subjects i hated the least at my school. Well, I don't actually hate them, but they're difficult and I really can't see myself doing a field of medicine or engineering in the future, but i was thinking of being a doctor since i hate that the least compared to engineering.
... And what's the use of studying so hard and making a wrong choice of it all and regret for the rest of your life?!

I have experience with what you're feeling, plus the perspective of age, 50+. I am currently a student doing my second degree. So . . .
Any choice you make now is not necessarily for the rest of your life. People change careers. The best choice you can make is to do the best with what you're involved in right now. Push yourself in the area of studies you have been interested in, which seems to be health. There are many careers below doctor in the health field. You may or may not be cut out to be a doctor, but there is some level you could make it at most likely.
It's tough, you say. Here's a saying - when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Are you going to lie down and give up, or fight? I choose to fight. Yes, most people want to exercise, listen to music and daydream. These are things you do for yourself, things you need to make time for in your schedule. Then study as hard as you can. It's your job right now. What I've given is a fairly conventional point of view, I would say, but in this case it is also my point of view.
