Blood Donation

I've done a good deed today wor.. *big smile*

Went to donate blood today with Danni.. We waited for 2 long hours then our turn came lor.. Then gotta go through some registration where they keyed in our personal information.. Blah blah blah.. Next we preceed to another counter for some medical screening.. Measuring heartbeats, blood pressure and temperature.. The doctor say my blood pressure low wor.. *stress* I thought i very fit de.. How come blood pressure low? *stress* I was told to get some sweet drinks before i could donate blood..

Finally, it's my turn to donate blood de.. Rather scared at first.. My palm were sweaty and i felt so cold lying down on the bed thingy.. At first they couldn't find my veins.. The nurse said my veins to small le.. haha.. But eventually the nurse found my vein after increasing the pressure and squeezing my arm here and there.. -.-''' I was first given an anesthetic injection (it hurts).. Then they poke a needle into my vein and started drawing my blood.. The process took about 10 minute.. I tried to look away cause the sight of the packet getter fuller and fuller with my blood send chills down my spine.. Eek..

I felt relieved when the process is finally over.. The nurse asked me how i was feeling cause she say she heard me gasping for air.. (is it..? i didn't notice..) Then i was given a blue bandage with car patterns on it.. *smiles* The bandage is so cute.. Keke..
