I think I did something extraordinary today. I signed up a form, and decided to donate my blood in school today. Well, since this was my first experience, I didn’t eat much for breakfast before going to school, had just a 200 ml cup of tea and a piece of bread with jam on it.
9.00 am was Mr Loh’s class, Junior came to my class so we could walk down together to the hall to donate out blood. Went down and check Junior was disqualified because he is not 17 years old yet. The requirements are the donors should be age 17 and above. Well I got scared … A little, because non of my classmates went for it, and Rachel’s parents doesn’t allow her to donate.
Luckily Hisham said he is donating. Sighed up more forms, and got my blood tested. My blood type is “O” a universal donor haha. Then next was pressure. TOO LOW ! Omg I went panicked for a while afraid that I can’t donate. But the nurse calmed me and said that I can come back to check my pressure again after I eat something. Hisham too has to eat something because he didn’t had lunch. Joo Han, my bro was there to donate too haha ^^ Then I Went up to class to get some money, 4 floors high, stairs ==
On the way to canteen, Hisham said I should take some meat. So I bought a plate of nasi lemak and a piece of chicken. First time In my life I had nasi lemak and chicken so early in the morning. Oh thanks for the bottle of water. So I prayed hard that I will get through it and my pressure will increase. Well, it did XD …
OMG my turn T_T laid down on the chair, then got the presure thing on my arm, and wait. Few minutes passed, no sign of needles yet. Then my classmates came down to the hall and cheer me up, happy ! Not long after they left, needles, small one, the nurse injected something into my veins and then I felt numb. Then big needle, its evern thicker than the 0.7 lead ! No feelings at all, then the nurse sad, I must pump, exercise my hand, grab and let go the pvc cylinder on my hands, in order to let my blood flow out.
Few minutes passed, can feel a little cold, lol lose blood effect. Then a nurse came and check my bag of blood and told me that it has stop flowing, omg panicked again, then i quickly pump repeating, my hand got tired very fast.Then finally its full. Then the moment I stood up from the chair, I sorta experienced blind spot, where suddenly you can’t see things in front of you, just bright light shines into your eyes. Well few seconds only, the guy there asked me weather I'm going to faint or not haha. Seriously, me faint no no. XP. Then they gave some food and a cup of milo. Some pills and vitamins too. Well they didn’t say I must eat it, and I was already very full. I didn’t eat any of them.
So there is nothing wrong if I don’t take the pills right? I’m not that thin either ==.
This is one hell of my experience in my life. Walking around with cold hands and feels like floating, everything seems to be light. But, I felt my pencil box kinda heavy haha. And my face doesn’t blush easily any more hahaha. Nice ~~~
I was smiling throughout the day like this XD
