Blood Donation

Wednesday 16/08 i went for the donation drive held in our school.

Reasons why i wanna donate blood:

1. I want to generate new blood


2. I want to help people in need


3. I bo liao


4. I want to try it, to experience it


5. I did it for the snacks + drink

Anway, it was a great experience and interesting.

Before that i was meeting Alan,Yingyu and Siti for the blood donation but in the end, i went in alone except with the freakies(u know who) in our class. Alan is sick and took medication the day before, Yingyu doesn't have enough Iron, and Siti forgot to bring her IC and doesn't have her EZ link card.

Before you are cleared to donate blood, you are required to fill up the form. Some questions regarding ur personal information (Sex life etc.) Some were funny though. E.g *For Female Donors: Did you have sex before with a male knowing that he had sex with another male before?

Damn stupid loh, where would women have sex with a guy knowing he's a gay?

But they are exceptions though.

After that, the people there would test if ur blood contain enough iron, but extracting ur blood from ur thumb, dropping into a blue solution, if ur blood sink to the bottom means you have enough. (Yingyu failed because of this)

Then came the real thing, before that, they gave me a jab to the numb the pain. The needle was quite thick for the blood transferring thing, nb..i damn scared loh..luckily got the numb jab or i faint liao.

After plugging the needle + tube to my arm, the blood flows pretty fast, within 5 mins, it was half-filled, but i was very tired, got to squeeze the soft toy on my left hand (doing pumping action) to ensure smooth blood of blood.

Very tired de lei.

Then, finish le, they wrap up the bandage on my arm.

*Does not have bluetooth at home will upload the pictures of my blood donation pictures next time.
