Still 165

Went to ANU Clinic today for a free health check up.

Blood pressure, sugar level, waist, body mass all good.

My height is surprisingly still 165cm...I've been 165cm since INTEC days...I haven't been growing for the past few years..gosh..

"Dr Wendy, guys at my age can still continue growing right?"

"Well, I know guys' brains can continue growing till they reach the end of their twenties"

"Hahahahahaha"

"Generally, guys at your age can still grow but just by a tiny bit"

Well..at least the conclusion was good =)

"You're one of the healthiest students...you seem to be doing the right thing! You don't smoke, you don't drink, you exercise regularly..Keep it that way! Just remember to get a blood test on whether you've had the injection for Hepatitis B&C since you said your dad's a carrier."

The way she checked my sugar level was pretty cool. She has this small gadget to punch a small hole on my middle finger to get one drop of blood which she then used to read my sugar level off a small machine..

"Gosh you've got cold hands..can you shake and move them around a little bit cause there're won't be much blood then your hands are cold."

Before I left, she mentioned a healthy reminder, "For guys at your age, it's advisable to regularly to check your testicles for lumps. It's as important as gals checking their breast for lumps. Early detection is always good."
