Medical Checkup
Intend to wake up at 5.30am, but woke up at 7am. Thanks to LY for calling or else I will be horribly late.
Cabbed to Tiong Bahru Plaza to meet Jacob. Lucky that I didn't get scam by Comfort Taxi price hike. However, the $12 taxi fare exceed my budget. What's more atrocious is that from my home to my new home (Kallang), it already cost $6. Either I underestimate the impact of price hike or my allowance didn't increase accordingly.
We registered for checkup at 8.30am but I am appalled by the number of people waiting at CMPB. Whatever it is, I am thankful for the efficiency.
First station is urine and blood test. It is advisable that one should drink water and have at least a light breakfast. Clear your bowel prior appointment might helps too.
Second station is audio hearing test. My advice is to read all instructions you can find properly and clearly.
Third station is Eye test. How I love the Ishihara Colour test. For those who have lazy eye, Pes D is waiting.
Fourth station is where you get your cells killed by X-ray. There's no way to avoid the inevitable.
Fifth station might take quite a while. Do brush your teeth thoroughly and rinse it properly beforehand. The staff there are quite scared of bad breath I guessed.
Sixth station will be where you have to strip. How exciting it is. Monitoring heartbeat, measuring height, weight, blood pressure, and have little precious exposed is what you will be going through at this station.
Last station is the IQ & Vocational test. This test sucks seriously. I personally find the instructions is poorly stated and the system is outdated-type. You might want to choose to ignore my opinion since I always feel like killing myself after taking any test.
The whole checkup took 5 hours, so be mentally prepared.
