Donating blood was one of my birthday present this year... and I'd finally done it today!!!! I went there with Jen during lunch time.. and we went through a few stations of check-ups before the donation could be done.

We filled up the form and took our numbers.


Then we had our blood pressure, weight and temperature checked, and lastly the iron content in our blood was checked too. Some blood was taken from our fingers and then was dripped into a beaker of blue solution. My iron content was ok while Jen's was a little low, so she couldn't do the donation.


I got to move on and wait for my turn.

When it's my turn, I was kinda scared... Cause I was scared that it might hurt a lot.. so I kept telling the nurse please be as gentle as possible.. haha...

After everything was setup, the nurse kept telling me not to look at the needle.. cause the more I see, the more afraid I'll be. When everything was done, I took a picture of what was on my arm. The tube of blood felt warm when I touched it... Too bad I couldn't feel that pack of blood.. If not, I think it might very cool~!!!


I didn't expect the whole process to end that quickly.. I was kinda shocked when the nurse came to me and said that everything was done.


I don't know why some of them appeared very weak after that donation, but I don feel that way... Shortly after I'm done, I only rested for a very short while and went for lunch with Jen, Jason, Lewis and Yan Kiat.

There was a Junior meet senior session today for us at MLT 1 at 3pm today.. and the talk last for 2 hrs. For those who had been in MLT 1, you will know that it's cold in there.. ESPECIALLY AT THE SIDES (which was where we were located)!!!

We were all very cold... and Marcus was so cold that he squeezed himself beside Willis trying to get some warmth from him. Haha.. He looked so funny squeezing there..


When everything had ended, I felt tired... I think it's partly because I just donated blood.
Anyway, I think today had been used wisely and fully.. and I'm glad that I'm able to fulfill the 3 presents that I'd wanted to get/give for my birthday this year. Hopefully, I could get my presents/wishes granted for the subsequent year. :]
