Bloody day!!!

"I WANT YOUR BLOOD!!!!"

Now THAT is what they should put for a blood donation campaign. Lols. Seriously, today was the probably the weirdest day of my life. Why? I think it might be the quirky mixture of emotions running through me today. It starts with lots of nervousness, followed by 2 quarts of OMG!!! A few spoonfuls of WHEEE!!!! a very serious dose of death, and finally a hint of "Yes! its over!". Come to think of it, its not the weirdest day of my life after all... hee...

I would never imagine donating blood would be so... so... stressful. First off, there was the long wait to be screened. When your nervous like me, the screening process is as good as finding out if your going to die. Turns out I did, but more of that later. I was waiting with Shuen, supposedly my bloody buddy, to get screened as we watched some of them getting hooked up. To tell you the truth, the people there were quite nice. So not the vampire like I NEED BLOOD type, thank goodness. Anyways, I found out I am A blood type, nice and healthy, and ready to dii, I mean donate... 3BAGS OF BLOOD!!!

Now, after screening, I went to the donating section to donate. But the seats were all filled, so I had to wait. And I can tell you, that is SOO not fun... I wanted to get it over with at this point, but noooo... I had to WATCH!! Watch the tubes and the blood and the flowing... Ugh, suddenly I don't feel so fresh... When it was finally my turn ( thank God!), I lay out my right hand (I'm a leftie) the nurse swabbed my arm and stuck a needle in. I thought, " whew, it's in." Then she took it out. I was stunned! What? That wasn't the real one? Turns out, that was the anti-coagulant! Then she stuck a something the size of a ball pump needle into my arm!!! Outwardly, I was relieved it was in. Inwardly, I was yelling "argh!!!". After a while the nurse noticed I was squeezing the pipe too tightly and told me to relax or else it would hurt... NOW she tells me...

When I calmed down from that nutty ordeal, I resumed to my normal self to talk to Gabriel a bit and posed for a few pictures ( that were that many taking pictures). A few minutes later, Shuen, my bloody buddy began her turn right next to me. She was so much calmer than I was and fascinated. Put me to shame really. She chatted away while I suddenly felt rather sleepy...

At my third packet of blood I was feeling extremely tired, then my eyes shut themselves up tight and i could hardly open them. My needle was pushing against my skin and I felt dizzy. The nurse noticed my reaction and asked if I was dizzy. I could barely murmur an answer. She swiftly removed my needle, patched up my wound after which I fell asleep on the donor chair.

I heard Shuen murmuring something like don't wake him, then "thud". Lisa whacked my head. Oh okay, she didn't whack my head, but it felt pretty close. I opened my eyes and the first thing Lisa says is I look like a GHOST. A white sheet. etc etc etc. I was skeptical until I looked at my hands. If Micheal Jackson was white, I was his brother. I got off the chair, my feet flying on the floor. The rest was pretty blur because well... I don't remember really... Just that I woke up in the first aid room thats all...

Basically I lost too much blood, who takes 3 bags of blood from a 50kilo kid anyways? What's more, Su rong said I was a weak girl... Oh whatever... So... who wants to go for the NEXT BLOOD DONATION?

FIRST BLAH

First time blogging, yeah it IS kinda exhilarating and therapeutic so stop laughing CHARIS...

Let's see... let's start with yesterday. I could not stop thinking about captball throughout class time, so much so i was walking up and down the class, shaking my legs and generally biting anything i could lay my hands upon. When that bell FINALLY rang, i almost rushed out of the class! BUT... Yih Lik asked to play and Fuh Lin wanted to join us for mamak. I had a great lunch with them, so warm to have great friends together after school. And the most ironic thing? You don't want too many friends. Just a few good ones. Thanks guys.

After going through a most slow and ignorant waiter for lunch, ( don't want to talk about that one, I could kill that guy) I joined everyone else invited to go to the park. (Btw thanks cheng jin and shu quan for the chairs and ball). Honestly, when i saw who was playing i was quite worried, but rationalized saying the more the merrier. Guess what, I was SO wrong... Annoyingly, I hardly touched the ball and my team mates really could not care less about listening to a tip or two... NO... they wanted to throw long balls they could not catch. Shooting straight when it should loop. Passing to the form 4 girls because they have played before. About 20 minutes playing like that and I just gave up. I was walking... WALKING!!! You know how you hate that feeling when you have been waiting for something and then you get disappointed? Well yeah, that was how I was feeling.

In the end, I was dejected and resentful going home. This being especially after i keep getting ordered about by a newbie on how to play captball when i introduced the little ass how to play, the nerve... After that, I was practically thunder and lightning the rest of the evening. Thank goodness I have a great brother who knows what to do when I am in a bad mood. I prayed to God about my whole day. Guess I feel much better now. I should pen off now. bye.
