Blood donation!
I donated my blood for the 1st time ytd!
My friend was asking me whether i want to accompany her to donate blood in NTU's annual blood donation drive. I agreed to go with her but ended up she couldn't donate.
Why?
Cos she ate 枇杷膏 in the morning wtf. =.= Is there any person in the world that's allergic to 枇杷 or 川贝??? Totally LOL-ed when my friend came to me depressed telling me why she cant donate. lol.
Oh well. At first I thought i wont have the chance to donate, cos i remember in JC we have blood donation drive every year and i went to try for my 2 yrs in JC. In the end i wasnt able to donate cos the person-in-charge claim that my veins are too small to donate. Tell me to do more exercise some more (that was the time i exercised so frequently as if like breathing). =.= So happy that the person told me that i can donate! Wee~ XD
The whole procedure took me around... 1.5h? But 1+++h was spent for checking particulars, checkups, and waiting.. AND MORE WAITING. =.= The blood drawing process was only less than 10mins.
At first i was fearing that the whole ginormous-needle-piercing-into-my-arm is gonna be very painful and i thought i'll freak out for that part. But end up, i think the pricking of my fingertip for the hb test is the most painful part. =.= When the gigantic needle was inserted after anesthesia, i seriously couldnt even feel any tickling sensation on my arm. Its like a dead lump of meat with blood constantly oozing out. lol.
The doctor said that my vein on my left hand is too small, so i can only get the blood from my right hand. The small little bag in the middle of the picture is for filling the tubes for testing. I told the doctor that the bag of blood felt warm (cos it was resting at the side of my arm), so she decided to leave the bag of blood on top of my arm so i can feel the warmth. LOL. People beside me and infront of me were fainting from the donation, but im there, happily 自拍-ing when i was donating my blood. LOL. Pardon the cui face, the result of <5h of sleep the previous night. lol. The bag of blood filling up~ my friend was like screaming "why u so gross go take picture of your blood?" Aiya~ 1st timer ma~ always excited by everything happening around me. haha. And tadaa! A packet full of blood to save a life! =D The sticker that i was told to paste on my clothes. The doctor's really quite gentle to me. haha. And i requested for purple bandage! Of course it'll be purple~ Been eyeing on it even before the donation. hahahaha. Everything that i got for the donation: Sticker, bandage, iron tablet, stress ball and refreshment (finished my milo though. lol). Gonna donate again next time! =) See how many stress balls i can collect. lol. On the side note, after school, i bumped into HER and she noticed the bandage on my arm. So she chatted with me briefly (but unusually cheerfully) and before she left she added something. "Btw, i added u on FB." O_O O_O O_O For the nxt 1min, i thought i heard the wrong thing. But my friend who was beside me heard it too. O_O --> O_o --> O^O --> ^o^ --> XD *fireworks* Actually she added me some time back but there's so many people that i dont know who added me through 囧2. So basically i kinda ignored the friend requests and HER request was buried in the sea of anonymous beings. How could i missed that? D: And of course the 1st thing i did when i reached home was to confirm friend request with zero hesitation. XD Actually i was quite reluctant to go to school on the day and intend to skip school. Cos i slept late (watching movie online.. =p) and there's a freaking 8.30am lesson. But if not for this morning lect, i wont have gone for the awesome blood donation, and SHE wont have caught up a conversation with me. And if she never tell me that she added me, i would have ignored her for like another zillion years and she'll thought im being very 'dao'. And worse still.. i may end up rejecting HER request with the other friend requests. O_O heng ar~ So its gd that i go sch. Lack of sleep in exchange with something like this. WORTHWHILE. hahahaha. Alrighty, got to go sleep so i can mug through the whole day tmr for the test on thurs! =D |
