The long awaited NS check- up has finally arrived!
Went for the check- up with two classmates today. Guys of course. Trained down to Redhill Mrt and took a bus to CMPB in Henderson with Chee Koon. Quite satisfied with myself actually, managed to find our way there by public transport with some help from gothere.sg hahas. Really successful!
Actually my scheduled time was in the afternoon at 1pm but since my friends scheduled theirs earlier, so went with them. Was hoping to be able to do my check- up at an earlier time slot if there were vacancies if that was possible. Indeed, it was on a first come first serve basis.
Got to CMPB at about 8.30 and even though that was before the scheduled timing, was still able to proceed with the check- up. Had to walk quite a long distance following many signs along the way before we got to our destination. Did a sort of registration and had to leave our hand phones in a small locker. Hahas. Even though it was so early, there were already many other guys there already. Guess everyone wants to get it done as soon as possible before the crowd comes in hahas.
Anyways, first up was photo taking. Tried my best to look good for the photo as I didn’t really prepare for this. Was given a collared shirt to wear over the T- shirt I was wearing though. As it was done individually, we separated after the photo taking. Went separately through the various stations own time own target. Agreed to meet back at the entrance where the lockers were located after we were done.
Had a blood test and urine test done next. Long time since I last had my blood taken or had an injection but still it wasn’t too bad. Compared to some who had to do it twice on both arms, mine went quite smoothly. Had the urine test next. Dun even rmb the last time I did one lols. Went in to the washroom and saw a long queue outside two cubicles. Wondered why the guys didn’t just use the many urinals that were there. Since it didn’t seem to be common practice to use the urinals, I joined the queue and waited my turn. After I got in, apparently someone outside saw the queue in the guy’s washroom. He came in and asked the other guys what they were waiting for. Lols, guess he meant for them to use the urinals. Which is what they did I guess. Lolol, and the officers actually reminded us to wash our hands. Lolol, we’re 18 year olds and about to serve the nation mind! Wouldn’t we know that?! Hahas.
After that smoothly went through with the other stations including a chest X ray, hearing test, sight test, dental and ECG. Did pretty well for all I felt, only a little complications at sight test where I had to explain the condition of my eyes to the officers there. Was told that they will get further clarifications from my doctors so will temporarily be PES D. So fast, got my status le lols.
Second last station was the “Q and A” session or dunno what it’s called. Waited for my number to be called and entered a room where the officers asked me some questions to clarify some of my conditions I guess. It was only after I left the room that I remembered several things that I was supposed to inform them about which I had forgotten. Lols, hope they are informed about those stuff.
After that was the final station, a computerised test which I had some problems doing here and there. After quite some time, it was all finally done. Got back out to the entrance, retrieved my phone and realised that the others had left already. So made my way back myself.
Hahas, later learnt that the time I took for the last station was probably much too long lols. Hope I dun get posted to some very boring duty though.
