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~~
