my first blood donation

i went for my first ever blood donation on friday at NTU student activities centre (SAC) with mel and ben. the queue was kinda long when we reached there. and i was on an empty stomach... so with my stomach growling i registered for the blood donation.

stage 1: filled out their forms and then they gave this sticker! ah mel lai ang cannot donate. at first she wants to bluff her way through see can a not but i let the cat out of the bag so she stage 1 cannot clear liao. =X my bad...
stage 2: after that there was another queue before the counter where the assistants record our particulars into their system. so we waited here for some time... then finally when i thought it will be my turn the person let a pre-registered person to go before me. because they register earlier so can jump queue. bleah~

stage 3: queue up again to wait for the medical officer to check our blood pressure and body temperature. my bp was 115/72 and temp actually reached 37.2. think it was because i got a bit flu ba so temp higher i don't know.

stage 4: another queue yet again this time to test ur blood. so the lady need to take a sample of our blood and drop it into a beaker of copper sulphate. she pricked me (ouch~) with the "thing" then she used a small pipette like sucker to take my blood sample. she kept squeezing my finger to get the blood out for her to suck into the pipette. and she really is squeeze and squeeze. bleah~ then she finish with her sample liao she gave me a ball of cotton to stop the bleeding at my left fourth finger. ask me hold onto it.

stage 5: wait for our turn to draw blood out liao. ah mel can only accompany us until the starting of the queue only. because further in the seats are quite packed she also dun dare to ying4 ying4 sit with us. so she borrow ben tut sit outside and do. diligent girl sia~ anyway while waiting ben say cotton balls look like eyeballs. so we experimented and got the frankenstein below:
but when finally wait until my turn to draw blood. i damn gan jeong. she ask me sit on the ah gong chair then she pass me a soft pumpkin ball and tried to find my vein on my right arm... cannot find. so she move the thing to my left arm... also cannot find.

auntie: girl i cannot find ur vein leh. i think u better dun donate la hor. if u wan go back raise dumbell next yr then come back agn.

i was like sian diao lor.. den as if to make me feel better she say the pumpkin give me free can bring home. hai den i jus pick up my stuff and find ben on another ah gong chair and tell him the news. damn he laughed. den i went out find mel tell her the news. she laughed too. i tell anyone anyone also laughed at me. kns~ but i have the pumpkin on my table now. freaking orange pumpkin~
