Serpentine Belt

Huurgh...my RAV4 serpentine or single belt was broken down on Tuesday night after my outside dinner. Luckily it happened in front of my house. So, I need to replace with new belt on Wednesday and so what ...i took an emergency leave. The serpentine belt function is for the power steering, air cond, and water pump for the radiator coolant system. All cost me RM245 using www.gates.com belt instead toyota OEM high price at RM470. So today i feel safe and drive smoothly to the office.

Another Blood Test

This morning before taking my daily breakfast I went to a clinic to have another blood test. The doc informed me if that the Triglycerides will depend on yr glucose level in yr blood. So no wonder my Triglycerides was high yesterday. So, the result will be posted after three days. The clinic will call me.

I got the time slip from the clinic. So before drive to office I have my breakfast at Kopitiam, just ordered low cholesterol menu half boiled eggs, bread and a cup of coffee.

Blood Test

Today, i just drop by at the open counter for health test in my office after my lunch. Then the result as follows:

Lipid
Total cholesterol 5.5 (borderline)
HDL 1.18 (normal)
LDL (not calculate becoz Triglycerides high)
Triglycerides 5.09 (high)
Cholesterol/HDL 4.66 (normal)

Glucose 7.1 (within the range of 4.0-7.8)

Blood pressure 120/70 (excellent)

The consultant recommended to do another test but i need to fast or not taken breakfast.

For high Triglycerides it can cause heart disease and diabetes mellitus. The doc recommended me to take a lot fish rather than meat or chicken, more vegetables and fruit. She also suggested olive oil/canola oil (brand NATUREL) for cooking. Just curious either she is promoting the oil or got commission...he he..

Never mind. I plan to do another blood test tomorrow. Hopefully everything is ok...
