Where have all the moolah gone?

It’s true that it’s not how much you earn, but rather how much you spend. Recently, I buy a peace of mind with RM420. Did that yearly, ever since I started to join the rat race. It will cost more if not of the ECG, liver function test and x-ray that I already did 2 months ago. Have I been paranoid? I guess a little bit, after all the recommend frequency is once in 2 years for those who are under 40 years old. I view it as been responsible to myself, the very same reason people buy insurance.

Was so happy when I got my blood test result today. It was almost perfect if not for the high cholesterol. This is the first time my total cholesterol is above the recommended limit, corrupted beyond repair. Year in and year out, the LDL will be kind of high, but it still can be rescued by the HDL such that the total cholesterol isn’t too bad. Well, this year, I guess I’ve to bid my favorite squid, egg and pork liver goodbye. Anyway, I couldn’t care less about the high cholesterol because to me, it’s one of the least important tests among the rest. Every year, some random tests will fail. Sometime albumin, sometime calcium, sometime bilirubin, sometime leucocytes, sometime even the terrifying CA125! Of course the test isn’t the ultimate marker, that’s why BP made me sign a lengthy disclaimer to avoid any legal action towards the accuracy of the test result.

I totally agree with you hui. yearly checkup is the thing to do, for everyone regardless of age. Gotta love yourself and be responsible for your own body..;)

since you had shared your results here, i share mine as well. Without fail, every year....the results show the same thing.."KAREN, DRINK MORE WATER" ..hahahahaha. of course, with exception to last year results, which show more than water problem. (hypertyroidism)

so, are you taking the iodine supplement?


nah...taking prescribed medicine. :P hey, hypertyroidism reduces cholestrol drastically. wanna try? :D ahhahaha..just kidding.
