Ok. This din really bothered me till what my HRM told me today. Honestly, I din even wanna talk about it but now, I'm a wee bit worried...
Went for my medical checkup last week which I have dragged on due to my BZ schedule and of cos a cut of my laziness.. After much nagging from the admin dept for me to go, I finally did it. And oh man.... it ain't good news. The doc using her watever-scope listened to my heartbeat like a zilion times and said its not normal. She said she hear weird sounds and my heart rate is low... When I look at her expression, I can see how 'looow' she meant. So off she sent me to take some ECG test in the other room. This nurse stuck some sticky stuff all over me, from my chest all the way down to my foot. The machine started prinitng results, "zip.. zip... zip..". The next thing I hear is "huh??!!" Its the exclaimation from the nurse. Then she said "weird. Do it again." Nurse definitely not helping.... "zip zip zip.." I hear "A...... Why like that? " Still not helping here. Then I ask her, "is it bad??" Then she suggested we do a third time. And I passed. Its suddenly all normal. But Doc said, Nooooo. Not normal. She showed me the graphs and its like Shares..? Stable for a while and it just suddenly soar upwards like the fountain in bugis junction. She referred me to National Heart Centre, which I have to go this Thursday morning.. I gave her a "Are you serious???" look. Damn. Shes serious.
Well, after the check-up. I decided to stay positive and I get on with life as per normal even though my whole office is making a drama out of it. One even said, "No wonder you always so tired! Cos ur heart pump slow then ur head not enuff oxygen!" [she claimed shes serious abt it.] Ewww... They made jokes too! How evil.... I still play tennis, drink some booze (Martini Lychee... I like...), do some dance, play some pool and gorge myself with some sushi. Totally putting the slow beat shit outta my mind.
Right up to today.. My dear HRM said she spoken to her Doc Sis-in-law abt my situation and she said if its serious theres only 2 ways. 1) Do a bypass surgery. 2) Insert a stimulator to my heart. I don't wanna be cut up!! *sobs* And she comes up with some story on her fren who suddenly feels tired all the time and just died of liver cancer. Then she told me to be careful and do something abt it, cos my heartbeat might just stop like that. And it seemed like i'm taking it lightly and still so damn relax. Thank you very much. So I asked her, "What can I do now? I can't do anything until the results are out right?" OK. I admit I do feel tired & sleepy rather often, but its only when i'm not doing anything or doing something that doesn't quite interest me. Like when I'm working, when i'm in lectures, when I'm taking the train or bus. I do feel breathless once in a while, but in some situations, lemme tell ya. I'm more awake & energetic than anyone else.
Urgh.. Enuff of lamenting.... 2 bad news from my grams and uncle is enuff for all to take. I dun wanna be in the list. For now, I can only pray hard that I'm in fact 'unique' and not 'abnormal'. Like what I told Mich. I rather Chiong and die on the dancefloor than Moan and die in bed. Hows that?!

A Day of Royalty
Last Sunday, a really generous colleague of mine treated Mich n Me to a Spa & Wellness Centre in Paragon. Well, when Jenn (Mrs Generous) first told me that we're going for Spa, I expected something good. But Wow! NotTHIS good.
The place is huge, 22000 sq feet if I dun remember wrongly. As 3 of us were all using the same facial specialist (cos Jenn insisted shes the best & she wants no other), we have to take turns and wait for each other. We were each given a locker, a set of bathrobe and night wear made of silk and off we went. The architecture of the place is rather fantastic. Even the shower looks somehow stylish! The jacuzzi has these chairs in it where u can lie on and let the bubbles do the job. Feel damn shiok can! After Jacuzzi, you're suppose to dip urself into this special built ice cold pool to close your pores. Its really icy cold... Brrr..... Then they have the steam room, and the sauna room with TV in it. After that, you can just dump your wet nightie anywhere you want and a new set is provided. Everytime you walk out of the pools, in 5 secs there is someone to dry the floor up with the wiper. So no worries you will slip man. The shower has everything, from shower gel to conditioner, then all sorts of toiletries are provided. From hair dryer to hair mousse, to face toner and even some high class oil for the hair. And man! It doesn't stop here.
Still waiting for your turn?? No worries, step into the lounge. You're served with a spread of buffet snacks. Eat all you want. Thats not all. Theres are ala carte main courses which u can order as many times as you want, and of cos the desserts too. Head to the VIP room, slouch on the leather couches, there are movies and magazines available. ITs your choice. Every few mins waiters will walk in and serve you asking if you need anything. All these while waiting for your turn.
Oh its my turn for some facial. Theres high tech machines and cool masks to make you feel beautiful. After that back to the room to relax.
As we were slacking in the room with our silky bathrobe, I told Mich, "Mich, this is what I call life man..." Oh yeah... This IS life. This IS Free. I literally felt like I was Zhang Ziyi in "The Banquet". I really felt like a Queen on that day.
Thanks Jenn! For this one of a kind experience. I will be there one day. On my own Expense... I must. Its just too good. Way too good..
I'm sure you can see what i mean.
