Today i have been through a great experience! It is the first time i donate my blood!
Ivy came around 12 plus and met us at building 9 level 3.. the first sentence she say when she reached is "Wei, let's go donate blood!".. wah! i was scared cause i heard from my eldest sister that it is very painful and the needle is very long and thick! i say "no" to ivy.. after pursuiting us (xue min, me and cynthia), we decided to accompany her to donate her blood.. only her's.. we went to the counter outside auditorium one.. the suddenly xue min was asking.. "why not we donate too?" Cynthia and I was scared at first, after seeing ivy donating without a pinch, we decided to donate too.
The first process was filling up the form. After that, we have to weigh ourself.. then we have to test what blood type are we.. then, we have to answer some questions the nurse oppose and some registration stuff.. cythia was not allowed donate as the nurse says she has flam in her throat.. so off me and xue min to the chair.. the first needle where they put the 'ubat bius (what you call that in english again)' was quite painful but the second needle which they inject to flow our blood into the pack was not pain at all. our hands just feel a little numb and very weak.. after the pack was full.. the nurse took out the needle and just have to rest for 10 min.. then we are free to go!
It was a very fun experience.. for sure i will donate my blood again next time! people, you all should donate your blood! you can save a life!!
