I’m starving as I’m writing this. All because I’ll be going for a blood test tomorrow. Yes you heard me right, a blood test. Why all of the sudden, you may ask. Because sis recently had her blood tested and it was found that her cholesterol level was quite high for her age and size. The doctor suggested that this might be hereditary. Hence my blood test tomorrow. And my starvation now.

The Ubiquitous Keropok Lekor | Narrowband.org

Bkworm was just teaching us how to soothe a restless and hot afternoon. Her method, coincidentally, is also one that my sis subscribes to. At least until today. The picture above shows a keropok lekor stall in SS15 - one of sis’ favorite stalls. It was taken on one hot, sunny afternoon. I must admit, their keropok lekor is super delicious. But I don’t eat it always. Honest. Only sometimes I curi some from sis (eh, standard la).

I was just telling her that I don’t believe I have high cholesterol level. I even pinched my arm to prove my point, “See? How can I possibly have high cholesterol level?” (which backfired because she said that didn’t prove anything). Well, high cholesterol or not, there’s only one way to find out. I’ll be going to the lab first thing tomorrow morning. I hope my diet + lifestyle have done me some good. I also hope the garlic smell in my breath won’t distract the nurse (gee our garlic-ish dinner was yummylicious). Ok time to call it a day now, good night.

Edit@June 30th: Cholesterol levels are OK. Strangely, the amount of platelets was slightly below normal range. And the doctor used a coupla other medic terms to explain the report. That moment pretty much convinced me that my 3B (instead of a distinction) for SPM Biology was justified. Worse, they were all in English, instead of BM which I learned in school. Haha. The way ECG (electro-cardiogram) measurements were taken was cool. Sensors were placed on my body, hands and at the ankles. Firstly, some super-cold gel was applied, during which my muscles naturally contracted, lol. Damn cold ok. Then followed by the sensors (with suction power). When the sensors were removed there were hickies all over!! Haha!
