I'm down

My eye's new friend before they get very dry and then I go blind lol**

Not taking care of my eyes since I did lasik 2 years ago. I admit and felt so bad for them. Finally, after working like a cow for almost 4 months, I am down with running nose, cough and sorethroat. Went to the clinic this morning and doctor said that my eyes are so dry and blamed it on the air-condition in the office. I told her NO, I was not getting enough sleep for the past 4 months. Working late, sleep late and wakes up really early to go to the office to avoid the traffic. My lifestyle has changed and I became a workaholic!

To add on that, I gained so much weight that many of my friends and relatives thought I am expecting my second baby. I have been eating late dinners and consuming alcohol quite often. Late dinners accompanied with good, fattening & unhealthy food. This lifestyle is so wrong and I think I should stop for my health reason. But at the same time, am enjoying the people and the chat especially with my fellow close colleagues. So, I am in a dilemma whether to change or not. Change is not easy and it takes a lot of time and courage to achieve. Let just bear with it till end of the year, until we move to the new office next month, and hope my worklife balance will become normal soon.

Jojo complaining again

Feeling very cold in the office recently. Is it just ME being cold or the air-condition in the office is too strong ? I tend to experience watery nose from time to time too. This could be the symptom that I'm falling sick soon. I need to drink more water and herbal tea la !

Felling rather hot outside office. The weather is so dry for months already, whether it is under the sun or the moon. It is just so difficult to sleep without air-cond. Worst still when I apply body lotion. I can easily get sweaty when I walk to the kitchen to grab a drink from the fridge.

This week, I feel rather tired and sleepy. Is it because I don't have enough sleep during ah mah's funeral last week ? I slept average 4 hours a days for 4 continous days. Didn't have enought rest too when I'm back in BU this week. My vision is quite blur sometimes. Not sure whether there is any problem after my lasik surgery as I slept late and had to bear with the smoke from the joss stick for days. My next appointment with Optimax will be on the 19th July. Fingers crossed !

Wondering why the pain on the bones behind my ears are getting bad these days. Think it links to my head and eyes. Experienced headache sometimes and vision is getting blur. Bodyache is visiting me too ! What symptom are these ? Period ? Or pregnant ?

I still remember my family had some bad times with some close relatives and feeling a little frustrated. They were so rude during their visit to PD. If you do not respect ah mah's wake, then why attend her funeral ? You might as well apply for the compasionate leave and just stay home ! Some even take advantage of mummy AGAIN ! Why mummy must do all the banggali kang forever ? Why is it difficult for us to say NO ??

Aiyahhh...ME and my complains again. Cold also complain. Hot also complain. Pain also complain. People also want to complain. Anyway, I just wished I could release everything here rather that shouting at the rude people around me. It will be very ugly and I think mummy wouldn't want it to happen.

HSSE

We had our Safety Day Launching this morning in the office Thearette and the HSSE Week will continue for the next 2 days. There is a booth doing Life Check for free downstairs and I happily joined the other colleagues to participate in the NKF Early Detection & Prevention Saves Lives Programme. I did the simple checkup for Blood Pressure, Sugar and Cholesterol. They are under the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia.

Below are my readings :
1) Body Mass Index : 19.0kg/m2 (Normal range is 18.5 - 22.9) Meaning my Health Risk is Acceptable !
2) Height : 1.58m
3) Weight : 48.0kg (Normal weight for my height is 47 - 58kg) The nurse mentioned that I shouldn't go any lower than my weight now. Then, whats the purpose of me dieting ? Haha...
4) Waist Circumference : 62cm (Guidelines for Female is <80cm) I want to go lower than that !
5) Blood Pressure : 96/53 (Category under Normal - Pre-hypertension)
6) Urinalysis : Glucose / Protein / Blood - All negative
7) Random Blood Glucose : 4.5mmol/L (<5.6 means Low probability of diabetes)
8) Random Blood Total Cholesterol : 4.78mmol/L (<5.17 means Desirable)

Result : I should drink 2 Litres of water everyday, eat more fruits and vegetables, minimum 3 eggs a week only and lesser santan. Overall, my readings are very good ! Yay ! Thank you thank you...so now I should maintain maintain ! :p

Other than that, I did my Bone Check too. My reading is 0.3 under the Low Risk category.
Scale : -4 till -2.5 (High Risk) / -2.5 till -1 (Normal Risk) / -1 till 2 (Low Risk)

Anlene Nano-Calcium Chocolate Flavour + Free Mug

I was quite surprise with my reading as I'm not a milk person. I don't like the taste of milk and am afraid chocolate milk will make me fat. Since I need to be healthy before I conceive and I don't want to experience Osteoporosis when I'm older, I think I should start consuming milk.

Hence, I bought a packet of Anlene Chocolate (700g) to mix with my oatmeal for breakfast. 4 tablespoons (with warm or cold water) twice a day. I might start with 3 glasses a week first so that I can get used to the smell of milk. Chocolate won't taste too bad, I think. Happy drinking !
