1,2,3 … 15th
Woohoo! I had my 15th blood donation this morning. And I’m feeling awesome!
My missed my appointment on Monday at Red Cross Carousel ’cause I had to pick Kian up from work. Tsk tsk tsk.
Red Cross rang me yesterday, and kindly to fit me in today at City Red Cross. How cool is that?

As usual, I’m a good ‘bleeder’ — eh, that’s the term used among the nurses who work at Red Cross.
This time, I managed to bleed 470mL just under 7minutes. I could have done better than this if I drink alot more water. Oh well, it’s Winter.. honestly, who will drink plenty of chilly water in a chilly Winter morning?
I met a new nurse who just started working at Blood Bank fornot long ago. I just knew something was going wrong - she didn’t poke the needle deep enough into my vein. So yeah, the needle was probably sitting very close to the nerve ending, and it was killing me!! At that time, SEVEN minutes seem like a freaking ages!
Anyway, I smiled at her, telling her for all the good work. But, she could ‘poke’ the needle abit deeper.
I tried to stay calm and put up a ‘pain-less’ facial expression. I figure it out, we all were new/young once. We have to start somewhere. I was given plenty of oppurtunities in my life, and I shall do the same for the others as well. Right?
On my way to my car, I decided to do a Karen Cheng. Eeeep.
Apparently, Red Cross is running some campaign for the local AFL teams — either you pick the Dockers (purple) or the Eagles (yellow).
My option is pretty obvious if you manage to spot the colour compression bandage on my right arm.
Cool eh?
刺太深就进肌肉啦!^_^
改次捐血时,记得先擦擦Emla啦;你是做药的,应该有的是!^-^
Aiyah…. forgot to pose for karen cheng pose today. I went shopping kat city. siap bawak camera, tapi lupa pulak. Maybe sebab sebok jaga anak2 berdua ni.
Eww I hate it when nurses poke the wrong places or doesn’t know how to poke properly. =/
Go the LIONS!!! Lions play the Eagles this weekend! hee hee!
So, any nice nurses I should meet there? ha ha!
When you give blood, you’re supposed to sing this chant.
Blood Spurt!
Needle Hurt! x100
Yay! Lions won! Yay!
Dab: you know what? I give up. sigh. They just cant play without the drugs, can they? argh!
