Before I start talking about the medical checkup, I want to bitch a little about my surroundings now.
My house now downstairs undergoing upgrading. So every morning at 7am or 8am, the bloody blangahs will go and "gong gong gong" dunno what, damn fucking loud.
It never fails to wake me up every morning and gives me a bad mood. But weirdly, by 1 or 2pm, there is no sound. I bet they go chao keng already. They should work in afternoon what...... Bloody shit.
And nowadays, I've been sleeping at around 3am. Plus side is that it is very quiet so no one bothers me. But this is also the time where lizards come out to play. I got quiet a shock when I went to brush my teeth last night. I heard a scuffling noise and saw this humongous lizard looking back at me.
It was also above my toothbrush. Not wanting it to shit on the toothbrush that I am about to use, I quickly use a bamboo stick to whack it away. LOL. Heng no shit.

Medical Checkup.
Met with Chong Chao at 930am at Paya Lebar, took train to Redhill station and we took 145 for 6 stops before arriving at CMPB (Central Man Power Base).
The place is super disorganized. When we alighted, we didn't know how to enter and where. So we asked the security guard. Or rather, he saw our lost looks and told us to use the main gate. =x
Walked a long way to the main gate and went in. They didn't even take our temperatures and there was just a check for metals through the detectors and we were in. Security was lacking in a sense. Went to the counter and got a sticker presumably for "OK" temperature and a key for a small locker for our handphones.
Turned off my handphone and put it in, locked the locker.
There were a lot of buildings and we didn't know which one to go. Luckily, or unluckily, another guy saw our lost looks and pointed us in the correct direction.
Went into the CMPB building and checked ourselves in.
First station was to take picture for our green IC. The guy just took water and spray my hair and use a dirty comb to comb my hair all up like I was starring in some ShangHai era movie. WTF. (BTW, I went home and SCRUBBED my hair after that. YUCKS!)
Second station was this hearing test. Put on a headphone and raised hands for whichever side u hear sounds on. The sound was very very soft. Hardly heard it. Sometimes hard to distinguish which side.
Third station was taking chest X-Ray. Easy peasy but the guy in charge like quite GL.
Fourth station was teeth. No problems. No missing teeth.
Fifth station was the pee station. Pee and dip the dipstick. No problem. But just a point of interest for me was that my pee quite yellow. Need drink some herbal tea.
Sixth station was blood taking. I noticed one of the guy who took blood was my friend from Chung Cheng High Main. And subsequently he was the one who took my blood.
First try was my right arm. I didn't dare to look. Injections are no problem for me, but I guess I'm scared of blood or big needles. When he took my blood, I still asked him to be steady, don't miss. Then he said: "fuck la cheebai, miss liao. you look! if not i very hard to explain."
And I was like: "Fuck you serious a not? WTF!"
"Ya your vein already flatten"
"ok.. so you want to change hand?"
"anything lo"
Then beside me was Chong Chao, he looked quite nervous so the guy taking his blood tried to joke with him. "Eh tell you joke. I from ITE one"
"..." ChongChao didnt respond one bit. LOL.
He kept scaring CC by saying that his vein hard to see. May need take twice. The guy turned and ask me: "Eh you are his friend right? You tell him pain a not??"
I guess he was expecting me to say OK la not that pain. But I replied: "Fucking pain man."
And it was!
Damn it, meanwhile I was switching hand to my left arm. And this time my friend went for the big vein. It was fucking fucking pain when he poke in as that spot, I guess, have more nerves and blood. When he was drawing blood, my fingers felt numb and got pins and needles sensation. It was very painful when the needle penetrated the skin and subsequently quite painful as blood is being taken. I didn't dare to look while blood was taken.
After the ordeal, I said bye but nearly fainted. Felt damn nauseous. Took a drink from the water cooler and grabbed some sweets to regain my sugar level.
After blood taking was the naked room. Everyone was top naked. Took ECG and I was shivering. No shirt and the place was air-conditioned. Basically shivered my way through ECG.
Waited for my turn to see the MO and he asked me to do some spiral test or something. Blow in a tube as hard and long as I can. But apparently as hard as I tried, couldn't blow hard and drag at the same time. Air was basically expended in 3 seconds. I guess he wanted a longer duration but he didn't get that.
So here I am with a downgraded PES C9L2. No IPPT (NAPFA) but can bear arms. So.. yay i guess?
Next was VAC. Vocation Assessment Center. It will calculate your IQ and give you your vocation (job) in NS next time. I had to wait like 40mins for my turn. Got in and was quite pissed. So I anyhow do and skipped some questions.
I got quite pissed at some sequence. Like 3 9 36 21 and find the next number. I gave up.
By the way, don't attempt that, I just randomly typed that 4 numbers HAHA.
I remembered a SPEED test where they showed a number and you had to use the computer Numpad to type the number 3 times as fast as you can. I didn't read the instructions and used the top row of numbers. Guess that slowed me down a little. Stumbled a bit.
There were some Physics questions and silly questions like "Would you rather parachute down from an aeroplane or ski down a mountain" and "Would you rather swim on surface or dive deep down".
I chose parachute because I know they jump at 1000feet which is about 100 storeys. Quite low for parachute. Skiing is more dangerous because of avalanche.
Last and next was an OTAS shading thing. Asked some leadership questions and I just anyhow shade all neutral cause I was so DAMN HUNGRY already.
Passed up my form and had a McSpicy at bugis! YUMMY. Made up for lost blood.
What a long post. I'm so tired already. Its 2:07am now and I shall retire for the night. (:
