►blood donation

i was damn brave today. haha. yes. i am. weiliang can be my witness hor...haha

hmmm....i went for something that i've been so afraid of for the past 2years. blooooood donation. i saw my own blood in a BIG packet. ha.

this is what i remember...........yest guorui told me about the blood donation drive through msn. and i almost went with him. but he had to meet his friend. so i din go with him...next, i met weiliang for lunch....and after lunch, we went to the medical centre to 'take a look' as suggested by me. hahaz. and we were stopped by a man...to encourage us to donate blood...and i told him, we'll take a look first. =) and yes, weiliang baoto me!!...he told the man my secret. hahah he secret was that.."i told weiliang donate blood can drink milo. thats y i want. " but, hahah it of cuz was just a joke.

we walked one whole round to look at the syringes and people's expressions. BUT we left by the other door. cuz i was just soooooo afraid...and i almost headed home already. until i told myself, NO! bren, people out there needs ur blood. u need to help!! just imagine the one out there who needs the blood is ur friend...will u even give a second thought?...i think no, so i went into the medical centre with weiliang quick and sat at the registration boooooth. i made everything fast before i turn back on my decision.

so firstly, registration to get a number and fililng up of form.here it is..

second was the doctor's screening...where we test our blood pressure and yeah...i dunno. i only knew after i finished my test and i passed, weiliang came out and told me his blood pressure was too low. damn!!! hahah i was left all alone.."weiliang!!u promised to go through this together!" haaha (sounds like drama series hor?)ahah

next was the blood test. the one described as ant bite.
haha it was quite painful lo. i mean, bearable la, but the pain is stinging. UNTIL, i laid on the bed. i became too scared to bother about any other thing.

next thing that i know is that i was told to hold this thing to encourage the blood flow...and allow the nurse to find my vein....all i know was that i was sooooo scared.

and i was so scared that i started 'crying'. haha its the fear of the unknown....and the thought of the needle into my hand. it must be damn painful. haha weiliang told me 'no ma zhui yao' one......AH....the scary thought made me so so scared. if u could observe, my eyes are red in the pic...and everyone else there was looking at me. i was so damn paiseh can...and i met my neighbour there...and my neighbour's child.

but...luckily, i had this really nice bunch of encouraging people....

they stood by me, especially the one next to me. She held my hand and sang for me. her voice is soooooo nice...i was very impressed. seriously. and she's damn nice. =) she touched my heart in a way. =p

and finally, the whole process finished. relief. see my blood?..=p

it was really a great experience. cuz of the people i met there. they are really nice peeps and they touched my heart. it was not that painful afterall. the most painful one was the test blood..damn. the ant bite. hahz.yeah, and i'm kinda inspired to donate the next few rounds...so that i can help someone in whichever way that i could...

and i had my milo. =p

i can. so should u! =)

hor weiliang??u can hor??...3months later..today was supposed to be our 'first times' together...to donate blood. but nvm, 3 mths later. ur turn.=p
