Medical checkup

I got the results of my recent medical checkup today. Basically I'm healthy, so that's good. However, my LDL (bad cholesterol) is borderline, which is not good, though I have very low levels of triglycerides.

Bad cholesterol? We all know what that is, and definitely that's not a good path to go down, so I gotta start working out more, especially when those new skates come! ;) But what in the world are triglycerides? I searched Wikipedia and all, but still I don't really know what they are. I know its got something to do with fat (so I'm really not that fat after all huh?) and something to do with arterial blockage, so it's probably a good thing that I don't have much of this stuff. But I also see some websites say that its not that much of a big deal compared to LDL (damn). So looks like I still need to work out more after all! (not to mention that IPPT is just around the corner....)

busy busy!

In case you think this blog has died, rest assured I'm still here and still posting. It's been a really busy week, with the new boss and all those election rallies to go to. Wading in the mud with throngs of people (and some frogs too) at Tampines was not exactly the most comfortable thing to do after work, but I guess it was worth the entertainment value. Did I just miss an episode of Lost 2? Argh!

Anyway, elections are over, results were the same as last time, and I predict that life will be back to normal for everyone. As in back to the apolitical state that we've always been in except for the 9 days every 5 years when there is election campaigning.

The one day off that we can claim is well worth it though! Especially considering that there was no line at my polling station, and i took like 1 minute to complete the whole process. 1 minute of voting and I get a whole day off huh? ;)
