a little blood too much

its an amusing thing to know that your blood is the perfect and most reliable source to tell who and how you really are. to check for someone's health, all you have to do is take blood sample, do some tests, and voila, you immediately have a clearer picture on who the person is.
the cholestrol level, how much sugar in the blood, how's the kidney and liver doing, and whether do you perform safe sex or not. by testing for HIV lor.

part of petronas requirement, is that you have to pass the medical check-up. all should be in good condition. your blood pressure, your height, your weight, and those things that only your blood can tell the doctors. only 10cc of your blood is needed for the blood test.

my medical check-up result shows that i am fit. except for one strange thing. this thing has been bugging me since and its kinda annoying, knowing that petronas won't employ you unless they know the reason behind it. and up till now, the doctor's ain't telling.

"sel darah merah pecah". that was what the doctor told me the cause of strange results of my blood test. only on the part where they want to check how's my kidney's and liver's conditions. they performed two tests, and up till yesterday, the same result occured.

something's wrong with me body?

and now, i am irritated to both the clinic and the soon-to-be-employer. why? cause only when the clinic submit to the employer that i am fit, then only i can go on reporting for duty. and up till today, my medical result is still in unknown condition. then came the time period given for me to perform medical check-up and prepare everything for the new job.

imagine this,

i received a call from the hr dept, on the friday, to inform me that i've been offered a position. they asked me to come over to the office next monday. and so i abide.
on monday, i took time off from office at shah alam, all the way to kl. upon reaching there, received the offer letter and read it. to my disbelief, i was to report for duty by next week on monday. and i have to go for medical check-up as soon as possible, for the clinic would take three working days to finish the check-up.
on tuesday, i took MC just to undergone the check-ups. oh btw, in the offer letter it was stated that i am advised not to tender my resignation until i received my medical-checkup result stating that i am fit for work. wth? i will only get to know my medical result by friday's evening, and they expect me to report for duty, and yet they advise me not to tender my resignation till the result came out? luckily i am to give 24 hour notice of resignation.
anyway, being an optimistic person, i tendered my resignation on thursday.
then on friday morning, received a call from the clinic. "encik kena datang klinik. doktor suruh buat blood test sekali lagi". nasib baik jumaat tuh aku dah tak kerja. so went to the clinic, and the doctor told me that they need to take another 5cc of my blood. "sel darah merah pecah". the doctor told me that it happens all the time. since i can't have my medical results on that morning, i went directly to HR office after that, and gave the officer all documents needed minus the medical result. his response (he talked about other things too, but this is the part where i want it to be highlighted here hehe) "kalau takde result tak boleh repot for duty. i try adjust you untuk report on the 16th laa". huh? helllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. those 16 days are very precious days. for if i haven't tendered my resignation, i could learn lots on doing credit sales during my attachment program.
anyway, those are the risks i have to face for my decision to resign immediately.
and early this morning (saturday), i planned to go to the clinic to get my med result. so i called the clinic to inform them that i'm coming, and i was surprised with what they told me. "encik kena datang isnin pagi. lab nak buat blood test sekali lagi"

and so here i am, wondering what is wrong with me body?
for me to receive the news in the first place, i was afraid that something is wrong. but when the doctor assured me this thing does happen, and again being informed that something is wrong, really makes me worried, and feeling sick.

yeah, people would say, look at the bright side. at least you'll get some free time. i say, i am scared of the unknown.
the last time i checked with the doctor, the doctor told me that the blood test was haywire. it showed that my kidney and liver are producing high amount of potassium and stuffs like that.

on the bright side, gaji kerja tiga minggu dah masuk :) and i am planning not to spend it. nak simpan dalam bank. fixed deposit for one year hehe.

FD? for 1 month, if i'm not mistaken, its rm1000.
but for 2 months and more tenure, minimum is rm500.
bank that gives high rates, plus is practising islamic banking, is bank rakyat.
