My first Blood donation
Thursday, February 05, 2009
its an event that MUST be blogged!!
for the first time in my life, i went blood donating after must persuasion and patience from gary.
i always wanted to do something good in my life, at least to help other people one way or another.
blood donating was one of them but being.. an unhealthy person, i always thought my blood isnt good enough to save anyone and i'll be rejected.
but he waited for me and accompanied me over there delaying his donation for many weeks so as to make sure that i'll go with him. =)
finally..3rd of feb marks the day that i stepped into the blood bank located at outram. (SGH)
i always thought that its very painful becoz the needle size is so big? but ..
I AM SO WRONGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE MYTH AND SCARY STORY OF BLOOD DONATION IS ALL SO WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can donate even if u are a smoker, you can donate even if u are a alcoholic. but u only cannot donate if u are sick or u have AIDS!
blood donation is NOT PAINFUL AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR TO THE GOD!!!!!!!!!
the one that is painful is you know those blood test that has to be poked on the fingertip? yes that is more painful. if you think that is not painful, then you can go for blood donation too!!!!!!
really really, if you dun drink and smoke you are the best candidate. (as long as u are above 45kg) but even if u drink and smoke, u still can donate!! what can be better than saving other people's life in time of need? (of coz selling insurance too ya? LOL!)
hey, i'm just a very compassionate person who has a heart of gold ok? dun puke! i am such a person despite my playful self!!
i really cares and loves everyone and anyone who needs them. =) (even thou i maybe very criticial sometimes.)
pics!!
Please be nice to me, its my first time.

while waiting...................

i have to test my blood to see if there's enough iron.
