In order to validate my scholarship renewal application, I am required to have a medical checkup. The worst thing about the medical checkup is that the clinic where I will get my health status checked is located at the God damn Raffles Place which is far far away where I am currently living. Argh, although I was dismissed at 1.00pm halfway through Economic tutorial session, I still can’t make it to the clinic. Reached there at 2.10pm, 10 minutes late, and saw my friends already completing their medical checkup.
I was very embarrased when I turned up in school uniform in the CBD centre just after lunch. All the glares and stares from the rush hour pedestrians made me blush like crazy, as if my superficial blood vessels on my face are going to burst in any second. Bleh~ :(
At the registration counter the nurse passed me a bottle. Oh great, I’m going to collect my own urine sample. And the funniest thing is that I just went to the gents before I went to the registration counter! Why didn’t they tell me earlier? According to the letter, I am required to do chest x-rays, measure my body weight and height and see the doctor for advice. I can’t see the word “urine sample is to be collected from patient” in the letter. In the end I forced myself to drink 4 cups of chilly water that froze the hell out of my body. I can feel my liver burning, since it needs to generate more heat to counter the heat loss by the transfer of thermal energy from my oesohpagus and my stomach to the freaking cold water. Aih~ :(
The most embarrassing moment during the medical checkup is when I was taking the x-ray photo. The nurse was SO RUDE! It is a must to take off our shirt to take an x-ray photo. When when she saw my skinny figures and protruding shoulder blanes she can’t stop laughing IN FRONT OF ME. And at the end of the x-ray session she immediately ran outside the room, screamed to other nurses about her amazing encounter with a skinny boy which is already JC1. Damn~ :(
In the doctor’s office the doctor at least managed to control his laughter. He looked at me once, then twice, and asked me for the 7th time whether I am suffering from malnutirtion or starvation. Eh hello, I am staying in the boarding school where food (breakfast and dinner) is FREE, okay? Even though the food sometimes really stings my tongue and burns the taste buds I will eat since I love my body weight more than my tongue and taste buds. Do I really look like an African refugee? Geez~ :(
Then he said he wanted to take my blood samples. He peered at me at least 3 times and asked me whether I am sure to see the needle and the blood. Eh, is there any scientific evidence suggesting that the body size / weight / height of a person is directly proportional to the braveness and courage he / she has? I am not afraid of blood (unlike Weixiang who is 100% haemophobic) and needles. I got admitted to the hospital so many times in my life that I am no longer afraid of needles.
Finally I am allowed to leave after I forced myself to fill up the container in the restroom. Phew finally got some aquaeous ammonia ended up in the container. I happily left the clinic and went staright back to the boarding school. Reached at 4.00pm, yay :)
I hate medical checkups. I would rather go for another 30 minutes of Economics tutorial (I skipped 30 minutes of it because I have to leave at 1.00pm… it ends at 1.30pm) and 2 hours of Biology lesson (1.30pm to 3.30pm today afternoon).
[Edit]: Brendan, do not think that today you are the only one you can go home early :) I can! I left at 1.00pm, much earlier that you do (I bet so) ;) Anyway, lots of luck in your studies this year with those spiky hairs and cool glasses. :D
why did you dedicate a short paragraph for brendan chua?! haha =P omg. spiky hair and cool glasses. -puke-
ok bren just kidding!
hmmm. what a bad experience. no wonder you hate medical checkups?! haha would think it’s good =P bleah.
Eh~ hehehehehe I LOVE targeting rich peeps $$$$$$$$$ :)
Anyway, Felicia you got cool glasses too, which makes you a very readily available abduction target. Your glass look perfectly like custom-made specs than can cost up to 500 sing dollars? Perhaps 1000? Or 1k in maple language?
Lol actually during oreintation I saw Brendan without specs. Now with specs he is so God damn CUTE!!!!! ;)
Anway why I wrote a paragraph for our dear Brendan Chua which lives in Lorong Melayu because he was the one acting seh to me that he can go home earlier than we juniors. So is like bao chou (revenge) lah~
You want me to “bao chou” you oso can. By all means *evil grin*
omg you are in HCI! im in NJC, just opposite=D
hey teddy, lol omg i cant stand such people (the nurse, i meant). like is her figure any better?! -__-” anyways, your previous post was hilarious. you should see the dustbins in my ex school, far worse compared to yours. lol i hate medical checkups too, and not forgetting dental checkups. argh to those two.
Hi Rei and Juu, thanks a lot for your comments ;)
Juu, I am really surprised that you’re actually studying in NJC! Omigosh, and I have a friend that is currently studying over ther and is a new guy (JC1) too. His name is Lim Xian Yong, don’t know whether you know him or not.
Hi Rei, hope you’ve enjoyed yourself during the trip! For the past 16 years I was spending my vacations all in my home country, which makes my holiday a totaly boring days to struggle through. Went to Bangkok once. I think it my first and last time there :) Well, when I put on my braces (I think I’ll get me teeth fix asap this or next year) I will hate the dentist too :lol:
Nites!
[...] Well, sorry to give my classmates a shock when I left the dance session halfway. Somebody commented that my dancing sucks, you know. Sort of broke my already shatterred heart, so it’s like double shatterred now. Maybe he / she doesn’t know that I didn’t go for last Tuesday’s dance session because I have to go for a medical checkup. He / she told me (I think he / she also didn’t want to cause harm too) that… Terry ah, why you didn’t practise for the dance? You see others turned that direction and you’re still facing here… [...]
[...] Remember I had this very embarrassing encounter during the medical checkup at Raffles Place? The stupid nurse laughed at my malnourish body and my skinny frame. Okay, thanks. Now I got another similar encounter at a Sushi restaurant at Lot 1 Shopping Centre. [...]
