Blood Test
Went to pay respect to former President, Dr. Wee Kim Wee, couldn’t control my tears while waiting to see him, for the last time. Luckily i managed to let it flow only after i stepped out of the hall where he rested so peacefully. His wish is to be cremented at Mandai so that he can be with the commoners like us. He said that he came to this world as a commoner and would like to go as a commoner. A true 人民总统 indeed. Will always remember him in our hearts. Goodbye, dear Dr. Wee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Collected my blood test results yester-night, waited for quite a while before i actually get to see the doctor, Dr. Low Huey Chin, a very friendly and chatty doctor i can say. That explains the considerable waiting time. The results are all good except for the ‘good cholestrol’ part, i am below the lowest mark! The doctor urged me to excercise 3 times per week and to make it ‘worse’, it has to be vigorous excercising! So putting away the mentality that excercises can slim down, well that could still be a motivation, i have to do it for health reason… gotta make the number go up.
Been coughing for quite some time now, so i took the chance and asked for cough medicine. She gave me 1 for the nose and the other for phlem/cough. i happily took them yester-night and slept soundly. But, the drowsiness has not wear off and i am so grouchy today! argh! Most of the things irritates me the moment i stepped into office. Then, the senior HR staff bugs me about a study tour project that the boss brought up the other time. She is the most irritating person in the office after the lady boss!
And, i have lesson tonight… argh!
Oh me goodness, i AM grouchy today!
Nevertheless, looking forward to Rosy and Giang’s trip to Singapore tomorrow! It’s gonna be a fun time!
Sudden thought, i don’t feel like celebrating my birthday, i don’t wanna be 1 year older! Noooooo!

Hi Nimin,
Sorry for being a busybody but i cant stop but to share with you my experience with “good cholestrol” myself.I have done my blood tests 2 years ago and same thing, I had only one red marking on the test which is HDL(good cholestrol)indicating high. I asked my dr why I have high HDL and what could I have done to deserve that and he said it happen to people who exercise alot. However, I only exercise once a week which is my Dradonboat at that time. After that, I kept recalling what have I done right for the past years so I can continue to so it to keep my HDL as high as possible. Then I came across an article that state abt Tegreen supplement(green tea extract) from Pharmanex that it can lower cholestrol and I went Aha!! cos I have been taking it for a year prior to embarking on the business itself and I was very glad that I have been taking it that is responsible for my cholosetrol health. You may consider start taking a supplement for this and also starting your exercise regime.
You may want to ask fran or simone if u want to find out more on supplementation.
Hope you will stay healthy and happy.
Cheers,
Your friendly neighbourhood nurse.
