I survived!

Medical check-up. Yesssh…
I know it’s for my own good. I should be thankful that our company insists ALL existing staff to undergo one, fully sponsored of course. But somehow, 'gratitude' suddenly disappeared from my vocabulary for a while… (~_~)
My doom’s day aka medical check-up was this morning. It’s finally over! *yay!* I obviously survived (as I am still able to blog haha!)… but not without some shocking moment *doh!*
Hospitals, even SMC (Sabah Medical Centre) which is fortunately designed to look more like an exclusive hotel, did not dim the crystal clear image of NEEDLE in my head. In my book, hospitals or medical centres are equivalent to syringes+dreadful pain. The last time I had my blood siphoned out was like eons ago… I believe I’m allergic to needle… Mannnn… Just the thought gives me the heebie-jeebies…
The nice professional nurse who guided me about resembled a nice air-hostess or a hotel PR. She seems younger than me… and it was this assumption that sort of forced me to buck-up and pretend to be cool and collected. *har!* I got my pride lar… But this false bravado wavered as another nurse took out the invasive device to take my blood.
(See picture... my war wound... taken as I was waiting for my turn at the x-ray room. Bored bah me kunun)
Relax. Ouch! Relax… a little bit more… hurry-up… and yay! The worse of it was over…
or so I thought…
The last procedure I had to undergo was ECG (electrocardiogram – a graphic produced by an electrocardiograph, which records the electrical activity of the heart over time). I was totally unprepared for this one…
“You need to take off your shirt and bra for this procedure,” the nice professional young nurse said.
OMiGosh!!
In glaring white light (I had to garner all my dignity to stop from blushing or being prudish-like) and lay down there with my top bare… she pasted some plaster-clippers and attach several wires on my chest, wrists and ankles. It was probably just 4-5 minutes, but it felt like ages, what with just laying down there while the nurse played with the ECG machine…
Her lil’ Frankenstein... that's me (~_~)
Dang! I wasted my bosom buddies on a nurse!
The nice professional nurse had the grand privilege of being the first adult to view my bosom buddies (since I last exposed myself to an adult back at the age of 5 or 6).
So my good advice to my other unmarried colleagues… if you don’t wanna waste your cute bosom buddies on a nurse, no matter how nice and professional… hurry up and snag yourself a bf. *LOL*
I should be more prepared for my next med check-up… hope it’ll be a long-long-long time to come. But now…. Crossing my fingers that the result will find me in good health, if not perfect hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
