Health

I got my health profile last week. Guess what? I’m fit as a fiddle with the exception of the high protein and cholesterol level.

When I went to get my health checked, my only concern was my blood sugar level because diabetes runs in the family. But with the report in hand, I was told to cut down on my meat intake (high protein), eat less “rich” food (cholesterol) and drink more water (usual la…). I was wondering what she meant by rich food. My meals seem pretty “poor” to me.

Anyway, I also realised that I have not been taking panadols (or aspirins) for a while now, which is a good thing. I guess my health is really improving.

So should I now pass over the chicken stroganoff with spaghetti and beer?

Nah… I think I’ll survive just this one.

Asthma Vs. Cigarettes

I was at a customer’s office one evening. They were having some cabling works done and it involves removing the false ceilings above their workstation.

When the workers were removing the part just above the CTO’s desk, dusts were falling down. The CTO promptly stood up and announced matter-of-factly:

“All these dust is bad for my asthma…, I think I’ll go for a smoke.”

My mind went blank for a moment.
