THE Checkup

Central ManPower Base @ 3 Depot Road

NS appointment!

Medical Screening
Part 1
--------
Pissed into a bottle and dipped a stick into it

Had a needle stuck into my arm. They took 2 bottles of blood... :'(
Strangely it didn't hurt at all. It was awfully numb afterwards though...

Dental checked. I have good teeth!

Eye checked. They check for colour-blindness too. (oh noes, ian!)

Hearing checked. Raise your hand when you hear a sound. Either the sounds were freaking soft, or I didn't wear the headphones properly. Thanks to my awesome hearing powers, I still heard everything. :)

Had x-ray.

Part 2
--------
Take off shirt and shoes and socks.

ECG scanned. I still dunno how to read the printouts the machine makes, even after seeing them so often.

Body composition checked. I have a body fat percentage of 10.9%! Thats 5.9kg of fat. Hmm...

Blood pressure taken. SQUEEEEEEEEZE YOUR ARM!

Interview with medical officer. Quoting Toh, "They check your mickey."

Result
--------
Due to a few medical conditions here and there....

PES D: Temporarily unfit for grading and pending further review

I don't mind slacking at the office... :)

Vocational Assessment (AKA IQ test)
It was longer and more boring than I expected. I guess I did fairly well, except for the maths parts. Ran out of time and they ended the test.. I wonder about the other people though. I finished way faster than them.


So there you have it. For all those who haven't gone for theirs' yet, heres a heads-up and prepare your mickeys.
