I went to help out in the blood donation drive. To give donors snacks while they wait for their turns. And i went to donate blood too. Hehe.
I had to fill up a very long form and pasted a sticker "Please be nice and gentle. This is my first donation" on my left arm.
Then i went for doctor screening.
He took my weight and verified that the things i wrote on the form. The last question he asked before he direct me to the next station was, "Are u well today? Are u well yesterday?"
I sat down at the next station and the nurse took my hand. One staff then asked me whether i want to donate my blood bone marrow sample. I just have to give a small blood sample and they would see if i am a suitable blood marrow donor to any patient. My middle finger was pricked to test for my blood type.
And they placed a small plaster around my finger and i was taken to the last station.
At the last station:
I was so cold and shivering. I had 3 blankets over me. (The others only had 1 to cover their legs.) The nurse was very worried that i will faint during the donation because i was too cold. She also tried very hard to make my vein show. She told me if she had to search for the vein in my arm after the needle went in, bruises would show on my arm.
i became very very worried abt the pain that was going to come. I thought i was going to cry and then faint. But it turned out to be not painful at all. Trust me, i am a person who cant stand any amt of pain. The small needle doesn't cause any pain. It numbed my arm before the bigger needle went in. And i felt absolutely nothing.
Phew! Now i have gotten over my fear. And next time i can donate blood without any worries.
After the packet was filled with my blood, i was told to lie down for 10 mins. And the nurse told me i just save 3 lives!
i was amazed that i didnt faint. Charlene told me that my younger bro fainted twice or thrice after giving blood to 1/4 of the packet. And his blood was thrown away. i still dont understand why they cant use that 1/4 of blood to help people.
Charlene was there to support me. She talked to me all the while to divert my attention.
Charlene told me to give her a big smile.

Jun Wen and i went to opposite his house for ice cube cafe for ice cream. Because he lived near the rich people(Thomson Area), opposite his house were the pubs, cafes, supermarkets, massage centres and restuarants.
I realised that when i wasn't talking, i will look emo. i was born without a smiley face.
'Dinosaur Egg'. Milo powder, Marsh mallows, chocolate powder and vanilla ice cream.
A little too sweet for me!
Simba said we must place the candle right below our chins. I refused as i didnt want to look like a scary ghost.
The sour taste of the mixed fruits drink.

Met up with Simba, Xiang and Carine.
We went to the jap restuarant that Carine recommend. It is at Liang Court.
Pork Belly noodle. Carine said it was their signature dish.
Pork Belly set.
Carine and me!
Xiang said Chin Siang, Qing Yao and him could foresee how fierce i am going to be when i got married. They kept imitating me behind my back.
He said next time when he called Jun wen at night, i would snatch the phone away from jun wen and said, "Xiang, u have already talked to my dear dear for 3 mins le lei. 3 WHOLE MINS LE! He need to get some sleep de hor."
And next time when he came to our house for mahjong, i will glare at junwen and hurry Xiang home after sometime. "Xiang ah, u know now is 11pm, it is pm hor, not am. I know u tml dont need to go work but my dear dear tml got work lei.."
And when he asked junwen out for a drink, i will tell xiang, "Xiang, u better not let him come home so late hor. i will not be tt happy if he did.." Blah blah blah..
HAHAHAHA. He still continued to quote more examples. So funny. I seemed like a monster to them. And jun wen seemed so henpecked to them. HAHAHAHA.
