i queued up for an impromptu biotherm free partial health screening yest at taka isetan. basically i had to stand on this machine and hold two metal rods with my thumbs while the beautician tries to engage me with some small talk. after about 30 secs in awkward silence having run outta things to say, the machine churned out my bmi, body fat analysis, protein-mineral-fat intake, waist-hip ratio and ideal love match....kidding bout the last part.

horrors of horrors, the machine spurt out my waist-to-hip as being 0.81 when the ideal ratio stands between 0.7-0.8.. now, now... research supposedly has it those with whr of more than 0.8 are more susceptible to heart diseases and so on (touch wood...

so naturally, i was quite brutally horrified really. the last time i had a proper health screening was about the same time last year and my whr was a steady 0.7. so mortified was i that afterwards, i was constantly turning around to sneak peeks at my back through glass doors to see i have really gained so much waist or lose that much butt, whining almost entire stretch of orchard and not to mention, harrassing im with my am-i-fat question. im wasted no time in giving me the i-told-you-so-youre-getting-fat-so-go-jog-more-often-and-eat-salad mantra. hmpft..

yana being the stubborn git that i am, mati-mati dont believe. so i went home and measured myself. true enough, that idiotic machine is moronic. if i had a 0.8 whr, it would either mean i would be wearing a size 29 jeans now or have a flat-as-plasmatv 32.5-inch butt. and i dun have either. its 0.7 la stoopid!

bodoh crazy idiotic machine! gimme false alarm.

it pays to be a stubborn git sometimes.
