Unusual Saturday Story

Hi,

It's the weekend and this is exactly what I've been waiting for! It means I get to spend more of my mornings at home. Usually on weekdays, I'm out the door super early, like around 6 or 6:10 AM, just to beat that crazy traffic to work. My workplace, USM, is about 35 kilometers away. Normally, it's only a quick 30-minute drive, but with heavy traffic, it can turn into a loooong 90-minute journey each way! So yeah, I always try to tweak my schedule to avoid being stuck in the car for ages every day.

So anyway, guess what exciting adventure I embarked on Saturday morning? Forget scaling Mount Everest or discovering ancient ruins. I faced my fears and headed to Pathlab for a blood test! Now, this wasn't just any spontaneous decision. The last time my precious bodily fluids were analyzed was way back in 2022. Yes, you read that right, three whole years ago! 

You see, I'm a firm believer that while the outside might look like a perfectly tuned sports car, the engine underneath could be running on fumes. So, armed with curiosity (and maybe a tiny bit of apprehension), I marched myself into Pathlab for a full health screening. After all, what's a little prick for peace of mind, right?

And get this, they're having a deal so good, it's practically a steal! We're talking 62 complete tests, plus 10 cancer markers, and a HST Test, all for a mere RM357. That's like getting a VIP pass to see what's happening inside for the price of a fancy dinner! Seriously, you might want to check out their Facebook page because deals like this don't come around every day. 

Pathlab's promo runs until June 30th, and I added RM60 for the HST test.

Now, the waiting game begins. I get to pick up my results on Wednesday, and I'm crossing every finger and toe that everything's going along nicely in there. 🤲

But my day of excitement didn't stop there! As the sun began to set, I swapped my curious medical patient hat for something a little snazzier and headed to the Math Society gala dinner. From vials of blood to equations and algorithms, my Saturday was truly a mix of everything!

With Nash, the head of MathSoc who's a huge help to the school and me.

Recently, I've been spending quite some time working with these smart students. They were incredibly helpful in so many ways. I knew that showing up at their important event would make them incredibly happy. And honestly, it made me happy too! Sharing dinner with them and seeing their joy was really heartwarming. I remember being exactly where they are now, full of youthful energy and big dreams. Events like these aren't just about food; they're about celebrating hard work, making new friends, and creating memories that stick with you forever. 

It was a genuinely fun night, full of laughter and a pleasant trip down memory lane to my own student days. So, that was my Saturday, a perfect blend of health check-ups and heartwarming connections! All in all, a pretty epic day.

Right now, I'm currently enjoying my best after midnight life, serenaded by the washing machine as I try to get some writing done. Guess a Mom life never truly clocks out, does it? And always include a laundry basket! 😂
