medical checkup

actually the medical checkup took place about a month ago, but i was just too lazy to blog about it. here it went.

i was to take up a medical checkup for australia visa approval. at first, i thought it must be some serious and complete medical checkup as i saw in TV, yeah i guess you have some vague image in your brain now--u have to be naked, take the blood test, and a few more procedure and waiting for the result shockingly telling you you are diagnosed as cancer or bla bla bla~~~well, my imagination went wild again rendered a little phobia in me before i went for the checkup.

Tung San Hospital Kuala Lumpur was the best, it's opposite pudu bus station. i arrived at the hospital at about 9am, kinda early right?by the time i summited my form to the nurse in charge, i was told to have my passport size photo with me in which i didn't have at that moment. i went all the way to the nearest photoshop which was no way to be called vicinity and perspired alot. the photoshop was quite a shaggy shop, but i couldn't care too much since i am in need of it. took the super ugly photo which was then used as my international student ID card caused me alot of problem, it's too ugly to be acceptable. sigh~~~after paying for the photo, i rushed back to the hospital. Being an unexperienced teenager who had never undergone any medical checkup, i did the stupidest thing ever on earth. i took a leak(pee) in the toilet and felt relieved about it, without knowing that this would then caused me trouble. I waited patiently for my name to be called. Finally it's my turn. I went inside the room, caught no sight of any doctor but only nurses. Yeah, the first thing to do was to measure my height (a big cry for me). the nurse was quite short which made me feel a little bit relax when she took my height.

"168cm" the nurse said mercilessly.
"erm, are you sure?i think your ruler has not be straight and perpendicular with my head" i wanted to blurt it out, but it's only a monolouge. i couldn't further embarass myself. And i can see the evil nurse grinned at me. "*bang u gao gao i tell u*" i mused.

next, the weight time. standing on the weighing machine, i prayed vigorously to put on one more KG, yeah putting on 1KG is a very very tideous task for me. so, i prayed and waited for the nurse to tell my weight.
"51 KG" the nurse finally said.
"hurray!!!!" i doubted the accuracy and looked at the figure myself again. yeah, it's 51, not 49..ahahaha, i have finally put on weight..
and then the nurse continued to take my pulse rate and so on.
after that, she handed me a glassware and asked me to pee in it.

"i have just peed juz now, now pee again?i dun have so much urine la!" i told the nurse and she was like what the hell why you peed juz now. she shrugged her shoulder saying nothing.
"erm, you might have to wait, my urine come out very fast one!" i told her and she laughed again.

i ran to the shop nearby and bought a bottle of mineral water. gushed the whole bottle down, and waited on the chair. 10 minutes passed, the nurse cranned her neck out of the room to look at me, i shook my head and smiled sheepishly to her. i then kept on waiting. 20 mins later i finally went into the toilet, and tried my best to force the urine out of my bladder. yeah, i made it, even though it's just a little amount of that. i handed it over to the nurse and waited again.

i was then called to go into another room. there was a doctor there, a female doctor somemore and two more female nurses. After asking for some details, i was then told to remove my shirt and laid on the bed.
"har, really gota remove my shirt ah?yii, shirt only kah?not all(okok, i know i was a little bit desperate)?i mused again.
To confirm what i heard was true, i asked the nurse again" shirt only?"
the nurse nodded and smiled devilishly at me. so embarassed la~~~T.T



i removed my shirt, lying on the bed, felt extremely awkward. The doctor then came in with another nurse. i think i started to blush at that time. she examined me, pressing my stomach and so and so, and within five minutes, she asked me to put on my shirt and i might go.

what's next?X-ray~~~went to the X-Ray department. i was summoned to go inside the x-ray room. At first i thought i would be given a special cloth to wear. but who knows the malay guy asked me to remove my shirt again and attach myself onto the x-ray machine, those which is used to scan the rib cage. i attched my body onto that chilly plate, WHAT THE HELL, i started shivering, it's super duper cold, freezing!!!!!! i kept asking the malay guy "ok edi ah?ok edi ah?" i kept repeating and the malay guy said: "not yet, a little more while, very cold hoh?"of course la, if not i would keep asking u meh!!! after one shot, i was free, free from everything and i could go home. The first time was so funny, and embrassed la i know, but i swear there isn't second time~~the second experience will be smooth as silk~~

Saloon (Thomas & Guys), junior cut

Last friday i was in the middle of doing nothing (i was late to be reaching at pudu raya rendered me having missed the bus), so as a method to kill my time until the next schedule of bus, i went to a saloon to trim my hair. yeah, Thomas & Guys is the one since that was the only saloon in that area. Moreover, my dad was complaining about the length of my hair, he said i look like a kind of fish with that, according to him, "over-length" hair. he just simply couldn't accept his children to have slightly long hair, so crew cut best suit me as his son. haha.

stepped into the saloon, there weren't much customers, so the staff was extremely warm and welcomed me with overflowing enthusiatic. so, one of the staff asked :" stylist or junior?", after asking the price which is rm20 for junior student and rm36 for stylist (i think shuold be junior stylist), i decided to give a chance to the junior student since i just wana trim my hair, not really into cutting. and MOST IMPORTANTLY my wallet is seriously into trouble. rm 16 is enough for me to buy a pack of bak gua..

so, the junior student wrapped me with the protection cloth into a dumpling-like zombie and started trimming my hair.
"what kind of hairstyle u want?"
"erm, u just need to cut the rear part of my hair, and for other part, trimming itself is enuough"
so, the junior started. i was looking at his way of trmming my hair. well, pretty much lack of skill, not smooth, and he needed much of the clips to cling my hair. FRANKLY speaking, he pulled my hair with somehow like all his strenght and put me in a great pain. i was afraid that he might pull off all my hair without the need to cut it. besides, he took a long long time to cut my hair, i really started losing my patience, and nearly changed to a junior stylist halfway. sigh, sad case, i didn't do so, so kind of me to have waited patiently for him to finish.

halfway trimming, he throw me with a question which left me flabbergasted and somehow felt embarassed
"you re suffering from hair-loss or just lack of hair in nature?"he asked, and i could scan his face with devilish grin.
"erm, lack of hair of course!" i answered embarassedly with bu-shuangness in me.
"oh ok, then i am not going to make it thinner" he continued.
(that's exactly what i have told u, and so "kind" of u to realise it only now and well, i pretty much felt sympathetic for myself)
he continued with his work and after 35 minutes, he finished off. it's quite a long time to finish trimming my hair with more than half an hour. and to my surprise, i didn't lose my patience. so, i looked into the mirror.
"what the hell, is that any difference of my previous length?" i thought myself.
sigh, forget it, just get my hair washed and leaving.
so, the guy helped me to wash my hair. it's the first time i saw a guy did that job. so, it's very WEIRD to let my hair washed by a guy. very very very weird. i was lying there, don't know what to do, to think of that a guy was actually washing my hair. well, maybe i am quite a conservative thinking guy, cannot blame me, my dad is also a conservative father.

everything settled. i paid and left. walking down the stair, i started regret to have stepped into the saloon. i would better go for a crew cut with less than rm10 at my hometown. aih~~

Bath Talk

well, it seems funny to have a post with this title. people usually dun quite discuss on this topic, but i felt obligated to post something on this, since it triggers much of my curiosity upon the difference in everybody's bathroom story.

frankly speaking, if i were given the chance to have my own house, the first part of the house i would ever first give my attention and effort to is definitely the BATHROOM~~sounds weird, but i have a presumption that bathroom is an indication of the other interior design in the house. when i find any bathroom insight that suits my "dream bathroom", i will snap the picture down and show you..

next, the times of shower a person take per day. it's different for everyone. for me, i bath two times for non-schooling day and three times for school day. is it alot?i was in chea hao's house, and i got this statement from his brother "y u keep showering( i shower two times a day there), shower all day long!!" well, that's what make me wonder if i really shower a lot. most people shower once a day?let's see, wake up in the morning, of course we will bath once to refresh ourselves, and then in the afternoon after coming back either from school or from any where else, we will bath once again to keep us clean.. well, at night, no matter it is after dinner or before dinner, we will shower again to have a comfortable sleep..this theory is good enough rite?rite?rite? (sigh, sho shad, now i have to convince myself that i m not abnormal)~~~~~~
soap more, shower more, and please use me more~~~~i will be there whenever you need me~~~(ew, sounds A)

next, the time taken by one in the bathroom. ok, i have conducted a survey on how much time a girl and a boy would spend in the bathroom for a complete bathing process. the survey has shown that girls take much more time than a boy to bath. some of the girls are terribly shocking me with their time spent in bathroom. i have this girl-friend who spent 1 hour in the bathroom to bath once (mind my words, not one day, but once). so, that had definitely risen my curiosity and i had asked a few question.

vs: u fall asleep in the bath tub?
girl: no, my bathroom has no bath tub.
vs: omg, no bathtub and u can bath for so long?
girl: yeah, i still somehow feel that time isn't enough for me, if u din rush me, i would have bathed longer.
vs: shit, tell me now, how it takes you one hour.
girl: first, i will wash my hair without making my body soaked, then i will dry up my hair, and wear a protection cap on it before i proceed. then i will start soaping my body and all the following steps. and after that i will wash my face and put up my facial products.

it seems exactly the same steps that we (guys and girls) take when shower, but it's the time that matters and makes the difference on it..count out the time to shit and other contingencies, some people tend to spend two hours in the bath room i guess?terrible~~
