FollowFriday, 10 March 2023 ~ Today I did my scheduled Calcium-Score Screening Heart Test (Coronary Calcium CT Scan with ECG) followed by a quick QRISK Score at SJMC. The entire procedure was pretty quick – about 20 minutes of waiting time for my turn at the Imaging Dept. and 15 minutes in the doughnut-shaped tunnel…

3D Mammogram @ Sunway Medical Centre
I finally did a Mammogram last week after the last one done at least 5 years ago. This time I did a 3D Mammogram at Sunway Medical Centre, as recommended by my gynae/surgeon. I must say that this experience is less traumatic and less painful than the conventional mammogram that I did at Taman Desa…
Annual Health Screening
Down Memory Lane
With a big box of old photo albums that hubs carted back from his office, I can’t help but to flip through them. I love going through old photos and videos and reminisce about the thrilling days of yesteryears. With the advent of better quality phone cameras, I stopped using my Nikon camera and have…
Never Before Seen Photos
Today I’m going to show you guys the face behind this blog. The face that’s been hiding behind a veil for the past 15 years ?. Hubs has been spring-cleaning his office to free up space and lugged back boxes of old photo albums that were kept in his office for decades. I found lots…
Spooky Tales
As Halloween is approaching, the radio station that I usually tune in to is having an airtime on spooky tales where listeners can call in to relate their spooky encounters with the paranormal, ethereal, phantasm and whatnot. That reminded me of my encounter with an apparition when I was about 3 or 4 years old.…
9 August 2022 ¬ Random Updates
Last week Maria (our part-time helper of 11 years) Whatsapped me a photo of a receipt and meds. The receipt has the name of a maternity centre in Cheras. When I saw the photo, I knew that something went awry with her pregnancy. She was about 11 weeks along. And I had the hunch that…
My 49th Birthday
This year is the third year that I’ve had a low-key birthday celebration, done at home. We were in lockdown the past two years and this year, though our country is now in transition to endemic phase, I still couldn’t go out to have a blast. It’s a no-brainer guess. Darn Covid. Alycia was tested…
Minor Accident At Home
Last week I had a fall while wiping the floor. I was wiping the nooks and corners of the floor and where all the computer wires are, that the Roborock robot can’t reach. I was wiping the floor with a piece of wet cloth and wearing slippers when I fell backwards, landing on my butt…
Update On My Yearly Medical Exam
My yearly pap smear and gynaecological scan are now ticked off my 2021 to-do checklist. The pap smear report is clear. I have one less worry now. All is quite well but my gynae saw a small fibroid growing in my uterus ?. I actually had a hunch that there’s a fibroid growing. All the…
Yearly Pap Smear and Screening
The time of the year is here again. Today is my yearly pap smear and screening at my gynae’s clinic. I’m feeling extra anxious this year. I know I’ve not been too kind to my body with all the stress, anxiety and other negative emotions that I’ve been feeding my mind the past one year.…
RMCO Day 69 ~ Monday, 17 August 2020
Hubs booked an appointment for me to see his physiotherapist @ BP Specialist Centre, Taman Megah to treat my painful right wrist. Actually, he had to coerce me to see the physiotherapist as I am of the opinion that physio won’t treat my hand 100%. The only cure is to rest my hand and…
MCO Day 12 ~29 March 2020 (My 47th Birthday)
When your country is in a partial lockdown and you are in a house quarantine, every day seems the same – from Monday through Sunday. We sometimes lose sense of time. Even important events like birthdays. I almost forgot that it’s my birthday in the morning until I saw Alycia busy whipping up something in…
Monday, 9 March 2020
I had a scare of my life today. While I was driving to the supermarket, I received a Whatsapp message from my gynae’s staff. The message read “Hi, your pap smear results are out. Can I call you?” Moments later, the staff called me but I was parking my car and didn’t answer the call.…
2020 Medical Check-Up
It’s the dreaded time of the year again and I am feeling antsy waiting for my health report card as I’m not sure what to expect. All the “what if”s have been playing in my mind since a couple of weeks ago. Yup, I’m that high-strung. HFM’s Annual Medical Checklist: Blood work for blood sugar…
