I went for my medical checkup yesterday with my colleagues. Now, the word medical checkup as defined by American sitcoms consist of a few tests including one where the examiner puts on gloves and asks you to take off your pants.<\/p>\n

J<\/b> was the first to be called in.<\/p>\n
Me: Did they, y’know…<\/i> (makes a putting-on-gloves gesture)
\nJ: I’m… not… a… virgin… anymore…<\/i> (while walking funny)
\nMe: Ow! Did they make you sit in any position?<\/i>
\nJ: She made me bend over. She also said, “Eee! So small! So cute! Make it blink!”<\/i><\/p>\n
J<\/b> was called in again, to take a blood test and answer questions.<\/p>\n
He came out with both elbows folded, fists pointing upwards.<\/p>\n
“He poked the left at first. Then he was like “Oops no blood!” and then he poked the right.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
My blood test wasn’t as unfortunate. I didn’t look as he swabbed it. The doctor said, “Hmmm, this will be a bit messy.<\/i>” At least there was blood. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I also found out that I had high levels of sugar. Like, diabetic levels. I was taken aback by that, since I wasn’t a chocolate or coffee junkie! I’d rather have chips than sweets! All I have in the mornings is a Teh Tarik<\/i> and Soya Bean<\/i> in the evening. A possible culprit would be the sweets I consume around the office, but that can be forsaken.<\/p>\n
This morning, I had my first ever Teh Tarik Kurang Manis<\/i> (tea with condensed milk, but less sweet this time). For lunch, I endured the office cafeteria’s no-sugar-added<\/i> orange juice. (One would usually pour in some sugar to mix.)<\/p>\n
I’m scared. Really. I don’t wanna jab myself with insulin everyday! The reason why I’m not a druggie is because I can’t swallow pills, I can’t inject myself, I have a sensitive nose (pass *koff* that *koff*joint*koff*) and I am naturally stoned around the smell of cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
