spent the whole weekends outside at whampoo
for the interact club cip! (health-screening!)
it was super tiring -.-

sat:
went to whampoo communitycentre for a briefing of cip
met 3G thr!
haha they were having cip too.
just tt theirs end at 12.30.
mine ends at 6.30 -.-
then i sat on the floor for arnd 5 hrs?
just for some intro, briefing and other stuffs
my butt was srsly aching like hell.
i am in grp B!!!
with jesslynwinata, amanda, and wangjia.
haha all of them are pros!
wangjia came very late.
so at the start, we went door-to-door for the lvl 1 of blk 21.
we had to knock door to door for ALL units.
wait for them.
record if they are willing to let us in for health screening or reject us or wad.
explain wads our motive, things tt we will be checking them on.
set up equipment.
record their weight, height, bloodpressure and other stuffs.
tell them advices like cut dwn on fried foods.
give them a @#%#^$%^ long survey.
and bring a smile to them to say byebye -.-

omg i tell u it's super imba tiring.
we also have a nurse to measure their blood sugar and cholesterol.
so for one unit and one person, we take approximately 20min.
so u can calculate the time we took for one whole lvl of units :)
and also, if the ppl in the unit is nt in. we have to record it dwn and go back to it at a later time.

so... my grp took 3.5hrs to go to 7 ppl onli -.-
it was so tiring...
but then agn, i feel super happy to help them.
cos its like my first time going into a one-two room flat.
then i realised tt srsly. i m sooooo lucky.
tt's wad kept me motivated!

sun:
reached thr at 8.30.
had breakfast and a short briefing and off we go at 10am.
i became the bloodpressure, weight and height guy.
jesslyn became the quiz woman.
amanda became the waist, sanitizer and height woman.
wangjia became the recorder hahaha

so today we worked faster as we got familiarized with each other and the equipment alrdy.
and so... its funner! :):):)
but also, its mre tiring cos we had 2 blks to work on -.-
oh and i rmb one unit whr erm.
its an indian family with both parents and a son.

the son looks alright.
but when i took his bp, it is super high for his size!
so i was kinda stunned.

the mother was kinda fat i must say :S
cos when she stood on the weighing scale. the weighing scale turned one whole round and went to 9 kg agn.
which means she is 129 kg.
then i was super awkward and stunned!
cos i didn noe how to tell her!
then it was her son hu told her her weight :S
then when i was abt to take her bp oh her left arm,
i hurt her la.
i was so paiseh cos she had a breast cancer on her left side.
then i accidentally hurt her :S
i was srsly super awkward.

then the dad was really the one hu left a deep impression of me.
the father had alot of problems like
diabetes, kidney failure.
then his skin was kinda shocking cos its a lil.
erm, lan4 diao4 tt kind.
yar and he has a total of 3 toes removed.
so i didn dare to look at his feet.
then i didn noe how to measure his bp!
cos his right arm has a tube inside for dialysis.
then his left arm is a lil lan4 diao4 tt kind.
so i was kinda shocked.

so i really learnt alot frm tt family.
i mean i m like so lucky now and i still eat so much rubbish foods.
so yeap i m going to cherish my body and health now.
say NO to fast foods :)

and also. jesslyn's hokkien is %^%&^$^*%&*# imba GOOD!
she can totally thrash the aunties alrdy la!
thr is this auntie hu was taking the quiz. then she can onli speak hokkien.
then jesslyn literally translated the quiz into hokkien for her!
and it was SUPER FLUENT!.
omfg. lol jesslyn rawks.
