my suspicious heartbeat.

and like the flu has been bugging me for two weeks now, ever since i over pushed my immune system during that 4km fast march or rather, 2km fast march + 2km FBO(full battle order) run. so i had quite a hard time breathing during the 16km route march and was totally giddy and feeling all messed up during the hour of torture on the parade square after the march. pure agony. i thought i was gonna like throw up or collapse cause my head was spinning so badly.

wanted to report sick the next day but apparently someone felt it wasn't "worthy enough a reason" but i managed to fight for at least a visit to the medical center to get some medication. and well at the medical center the doc insisted i took an ECG scan after checking my breathing patterns out with his stethoscope. and so, with the ECG results on his desk he turned and looked at me with concerned but flurried eyes and went, "your heartbeat is erm... rather suspicious." and so with that, they flew me down to NUH for further examination. haha it was like some sorta ER tv drama kinda thing, but well wth.

and apparently i needed the ECG results which wasnt given to me so i had to retake the scan again followed by a blood test, which they had to try 3 TIMES just to get a syringe of blood out of my left arm. so i sat there rotting for 2.5hrs while watching "america's got talent" without audio and just reading my book when they finally called me to tell me that, "you're normal. you can go back to camp now."

oh well hanyang was saying i should have told the doc, "you know why my heartbeat's suspicious? cause i caught God's heartbeat." haha that would have been totally classic.

and well social night went well i suppose, considering the amount of time they had to get it in order. and the 24km overnight route march this coming wednesday morning before pro-term officially begins.
