Did i mention blood donation drive 2004 @ tjc? yeah, u are right.. i donated my blood.

Of 9 who went forward to donate, only 3 from our class managed to pass all the blood tests and etc, to go till the donating bed (do u call the bed tt? haha..shrugz) and have your arms injected with needles. They are its not fine, you can actually see the capillary bore. But i still dint dare to see, even though its my 2nd donation le. Some of my friends blood pressure too low, some went on holiday and thus rejected as a donor, some cant pass the haemoglobin count test, some veins too fine and thus unable to locate them. Haha, all sorts of reasons.. My veins were too fine too, then the trainee nurse dint dare to attempt and called upon the experienced nurse. Whee, heng ar! I cant imagine the trainee nurse poking in and out of my arm searching for the vein. N.. the experienced nurse got it at 1st attempt.. =) Experience  does matter..

Oh ya, i was quite surprised when the nurse said my haemoglobin count was high, as in, good. Reason, because i hate pork. If i can avoid eating pork, i avoid and pork is supposed to be rich in iron isnt it? Or maybe at least the liver? Which i hate so much.. Maybe because i keep eating fish in place of pork.. Hmm.. fish rox

I felt happy after donating blood. Feel kind of light. As in, not physically light but emotionally light - glad. Felt that i have done a good deed, indeed it is. =)

She seems weird, did i do something wrong. I hope i dint i dun tink so. =(
