Good day everyone. I hope you're all doing well😌. It's been a while since I last posted😬.
The letter for my six monthly medical examination has arrived and I need to do it as soon as possible. In Singapore we need to do our medical every six months. Not because they want to monitor your health, but it's main purpose is for pregnancy checking. They are very strict about us getting pregnant here. After they found out through your medical that you're carrying a baby, on the spot they would inform your employer to book you a ticket to fly home. Not only that, you would also be banned from working here.
That's why most employers warn their helpers in advance to avoid getting pregnant. Not only for our own sake but to protect their money also. Once they hire us, they would pay a bond to their government for us. If any misfortune happened under their responsibility, this bond would be forfeited. I think it's 5k Singapore dollars😌.
Since it's not that far from our house, I opted to walk to the clinic. I just brought an umbrella with me in case the rain poured, and to shelter me from the sun at the same time. Since the weather nowadays is unpredictable it's better to be prepared. I walk slowly as I want to relax my mind away from home😁.
It's a thirty minutes walk and I finally reach the clinic. Only a few patients were there. It took less than 20 minutes and my name was called. My turn.
After paying the fee I went out and again roam around the mall. There's a supermarket inside and I went there to buy myself a treat. Since they always draw my blood, I should treat myself with some sweets and curls.
I ate the chocolate and munch the curls in my way home. I remember the first time I came to this clinic before. My boss just gave me directions and I'm not good at following directions. I even reach the embassy of Indonesia just by walking. I don't know how far I'd go that time. After I again came back and asked people for directions to this clinic until maybe after 2 hours I finally met someone who knows the clinic location and gave me a clear direction. I didn't mention to my boss that time that I got lost along the way. Luckily nobody asked why I took so long. More than 4 hours. Imagine how scared and stressed I was at that time.
After walking slowly and taking my time more than usual, I still reach home after not more than 2 hours of spending outside.
I immediately removed the plaster from where they put it.
I don't know why there are times after they took my blood, a big bruise would appear and sometimes would take more than a month to heal and disappear. I think this one would heal faster. Well that's all for today guys. See you around♥️.
