blood outta my veins...

Needles have never been something I was fond of.

On the 12-07-10, I went to the High Commission of Canada's office in KL to apply for my Canadian Study Permit.

Last night I received an email from them on an update for my application process. Apparently, I had to collect papers from the office and get a medical check up.

The medical check up consist of urine test, blood test, and X-ray examination, and body check. It was my second time for urine and blood test but the rest was a first.

Before I got my blood test, they told me it was also to check if I had HIV or any kind of STDs. In my head I was like, "okaeee...I don't think I need that" but just nodded my head since I knew it was the normal procedure.

When I saw the needle I got a little nervous. It was slightly bigger than the one used last time. I didn't dare to look as the needle pierced through my skin into my vein. Obviously it hurt more than the one I had before.

For the X-ray I had to put on the one piece for surgery patients. The one which is tied at the back by two strings but could still see some of the back and butt. I was SO glad I got to leave my pants on and also that the examiner? was female. lol

Finally, it was time for me to see the doctor. It was a she, which was a RELIEF. She did a body check from the eyes to the feet. What gave me a shock was she even gave me a check for breast cancer. !@#$%^&*! WTH would I need that for?!? I effin 19 -.-'' Sigh~ I had no choice but to let it go. It was probably a stupid procedure..unless that old female doctor is a perv which is less likely than just about following procedures. At least that is what I tell myself.

When it was over, I was just relieved nothing is wrong and went home leaving whateva memory behind.

Conclusion, I DON'T like medical check ups.

what was that in the dark...

Most people enjoy going to the cinema in a group or with a companion however there are a few I kno who enjoys as much by themselves.

Currently, I am as jobless as one can get. I was at home for far too long and needed some air? So I decided that a movie would probably do some good. However, everyone I kno probably has school, classes, work & what not that is keeping them busy.

Needing to get out a little, I guessed that I should just go ahead by myself. Since I've always wondered why some enjoyed going to cinemas by themselves, I've decided to give it a taste.

Since it was a weekday there was barely anyone catching a movie. I got my ticket, went in, walked to the door of the room for my movie, opened the doors and a slight shiver went down my spine.

I took a quick step back and let the door close by instinct. After a couple seconds, I thought I'm just overreacting. I tried going in again but I couldn't make myself go into the pure black room alone. When I opened the door again for the third time I found a couple of switches at the room wall right next to the door which looked like it was for the lights and it was.

When the dim lights from the sides of the room lit up, going into the room was easier. Right when I went to look for my seat, I saw a figure sitting by a seat nearer the back row. Since I wasn't expecting anyone in the room, I got a shock then was relieved that I'm not the only person around but I wondered how that person could come in and sit in such a dark room by himself. I relaxed after a couple more people made their way in. I put on my iPod until the movie played.

The movie wasn't so bad. Most people said Eclipse sucked so I expected it to be so. Maybe I was expecting worse so it wasn't too bad for me.

Overall, I didn't think the experience was too bad. I wouldn't mind going to the cinema by myself again but next time I might rethink about going during the weekday by myself.
