well, im officially back from my first blood donation, and im still feel rather awkward about it.
anyway, the process was very long, we have to do survey and check our bodies and many more other things which took up our lunch time which resulted in a very late lunch. however, the overall experience was fulfilling and full of achievements, knowing that your blood will pick 3 person's life back from hell is rather amusing.
managed to donate a least a pack full. although zg was speaking that i didnt, however, im quite sure that i did. the awkward part is that i almost fainted towards the end of the donation. yes, sheng almost fainted, i mean come on im also a human and i do have my weakness. not that im afraid to see blood, it is just that i didnt regulate my breathing according to zg. he probably be saying that im weak and all.
they didnt allow any photo taking so i didnt take much photos. im rather disappointed that they dont even allow me to take a picture of my own blood. then again, it is a good experience. and im proud to say im no longer a blood-donation virgin. speaking of that, they gave both of us a sticker which tells them to be gentle as this is our first donation. it is quite cute though.
heres some pics... ...
