NS medical checkup

For those who didn't know, i didn't go school on friday cuz i went for ns medical checkup. Ok this post is to give u guys a heads up of what it's like.

Once u reach there u gotta wait for like 15 min longer than ur appointment time even though they told u to be punctual! haha suckers. ok so first station.

Officer : Take one bottle take one stick..instructions are in the toilet.

We were all stunned but went into the toilet anyway hahah. So we found out we gotta pee into the bottle..which is really weird cuz it's really small.then dip the stick inside. it's like some indicator test. haha so after doing so u go out and..

Officer : Show me your colour

hahaha he repeated this line like countless times la. what a boring job he has. next up was the blood test. "oh yes..there will be blood" (saw2) hahah first up is the finger prick test. no biggie la just some small lil poke on ur middle finger. it's some haemoglobin test if im not wrong. next is the bigger needle..into ur vein at the elbow there haha.nothing much but they stick it in for like..more than 5 seconds haha. and u can see the blood being drawn up. pretty cool.

station 2 : dental

ok they'll examine ur teeth. no biggie. but for me i think i had missing teeth or no missing teeth and they wanted to do some forensic study so i had to do an x ray for my jaw -_- hahah.

station 3 : eye check up

they'll ask for left handers..yes eric i think u fall under that category..ok actually im not that sure. cuz they were asking "any lefthanders"..so i raised my hand..then on second thoughts i was wondering why they needed to know..so i just told them i do everything else with my right hand except writing..then they ask.."so u prefer to hold gun with which hand" ok so that's why they asked haha. ok so basically for those who wear specs they'll ask u to wear ur specs and read the usual stuff. nothing much here

station 4 : chest x ray

basically u go topless and put ur chest against some cushion thingy then u breathe in and they take an x ray. nothing much here.

station 5 : hearing test

u go into a soundproof room and put on earphones..and they'll play sounds of different frequencies and u hafta raise ur hand according to which ear u hear it from. basically from the outside u'll look like retards trying to act like spiderman climbing a wall hahaha.

station 6 : hohoho

the one u all haf been waiting for..it's the physical check up station.. so basically u enter a room full of topless guys..and then the first part u have to lie on some bed and they'll put suction cups on u duno for what. after that is height and weight where they'll ask u whether u smoke. btw im officially 166 hahaha. then is the MOMENT..hehe u get a queue no. and await going into a room for the full strip. basically u stand abt 3m from the guy and u take off ur pants and u cough..then u put them back on hahaha. that's abt it. not too embarassing at all actually.and they tell u where ure provisionally posted. i got posted to pes b ahhh..cuz i haf a slightly crooked spine -_- lames. oh well.

station 7 : the worse station of all

it's the computer test..basically ure stuck here for like 1hr 45 min la..sucks big time. u do test after test after test..maths..figures...physics..patterns..that's about it la. but it's really non stop. and u duno how many tests u gotta do..so be prepared to be stuck there for quite some time.

so in total u'll be there for abt 4 hours hahaha.well..u all shld really go as a group if not it'll be super duper boring..fortunately i made a fren there and we chatted our way through the boredom heh.

have fun at the checkup! :) btw it's at depot road. hmm can take 195 from queensway mrt then walk.
