Almost forgotten about my ever first body health check ;)

It was a busy Monday morning and I couldn't get a chance even just to drink some water but just clearing my work/attending to issues. About 9:45am, one of my colleagues ask if I'm going for the health check and I was totally shocked to realise my appointment suppose to be 10am !! Without wasting anymore time, I quickly ran down to 2nd floor to participate for that.

My initial idea is to participate only the basic free blood test as this is my first time and I prefer to visit those reputable lab test for details scan. Due to some influences and some explanation from the doctor, I was convinced to get the full check which cost about $157 incl gov tax and it will be ready in 2 weeks.

After waited for about 10 person, it's my turn finally and I did felt bit nervous ;) Normal lah, kena 'jab' right? My BP was ok and BMI seems normal but when come to taking blood sample, my nightmare finally arrived. Guess what, the nurse informed me that my vein is so prominent and it's tricky for her to jab the syringe into my hand properly. After squeezing the spongy ball, she finally found one and the process take place. Just less than a min, the nurse told me the blood flow is very weird, sometimes normal and sometimes slow. She advised me to keep squeezing the spongy ball in order to pump out my blood but it's still slow and the queue behind is piling up.

My poor left arm :(
Without any choices so she proposed to jab another hand in hope will be better. As expected, same situation and no choice but keep squeezing the spongy ball :( I couldn't recall how long it was (guess 5-8 mins?) and a while later, she manage to collect the right amount of blood and she said I didn't rest well and drink water sufficiently which I totally agreed because the day before I slept quite late and this morning I didn't get a chance to drink water. Now I'm really worried and hope this won't really impact my final result. I am keeping my fingers crossed now and see how it goes. Also, there were some colleagues asking if everything alright for me because I'm the only person who jab twice and having difficulties to collect blood sample :(

And my right one :(
Nevertheless, after a stressful and tension morning, I guess I should have a great lunch to pamper myself and also to DE-STRESS as health check already done and nothing much can be done now. Let's EAT !!!

Dim Sum !!!!!!
