Today marks a historic day... I donated blood for the 1st time in my life!!! Woohoo! =D
I was bugging my dear since yesterday to donate blood together with me at the National Blood Bank booth in Uni. And after much persuasion and a little bit of dragging, I managed to convince her! Wheee~ So happy so happy. Hahahaha. At least I won't have to do it alone. XD
Anyway, me and dear June was at the blood donation booth area at around 3pm to donate our blood... for the first time (for both of us). So... I went first and it wasn't very painful actually. Haha. Before you know it, the needle is already inside and channeling the blood into a plastic bag. I must admit that I felt so relieved when it didn't hurt as much as I've expected. The needle looks so big! hahaha. Soon, Ann June got her needle inserted too and was also very relieved. Haha.
Donating blood makes people HIGH! Me and dear was laughing away and joking throughout the session and I was wondering if we were too loud and animated that it will disturb the nurses there. Haha. Oh well, sorry if I did. =p Anyway, the whole procedure came and went and before we know it, the bag was full of blood and we're ready to get the needles out already.
I was expecting more pain when they take the needle out 'cause there might be no more anesthetics at my arm. Luckily the nurse was very skillfull and I managed to 'distract' myself so it felt fine. Not to mention that dearie was really cool about it too. Hehe. So proud of you. =D
Anyway, pictures time! =D
It was a very fun experience to donate blood for the first time. I feel lighter already! Hahaha. Anyway, please do go donate blood if you are fit enough and have a kind heart. =DI'm so proud of you dearie! Hehehe.

Special mention: Our friend Ms. Kit Yee gracefully donated her blood too. Donating for the 1st time too, she became a dizzy cat after the donation. Hahaha. Picture of her before the needle was 'poked' in:
Cheers! XD
