Unplaned blood donation...

At last it's weekend...
But today still have to wake up early as need to back office to take care of my little "boy"... Jasco HPLC... Actually can't considered as earlier as i wake up at 10am in the end... Haha...
Not feel like going back office during weekend... huhh...
Around 12:10 reached office... then turned off the HPLC... then plan what i'm going to do next...
As it's very meaningless if I just back home like that... just turn off a machine!!!
"At least, I must do something meaningful! Or something that I'm willing to do." I told myself.
Take lunch? shopping? watch movie? anything else?

Think... think... think...
In the end two words flew on my mind... "blood donation"...
Then I took out the donation card from my wallet.
"Ooopss... my last donation was done on 26 July 08... it's had been 10 months!!!"
So... I had decided - today, I will go for blood donation!!!
Okay, my destination - Bloodbank @ HSA (near Outram Park MRT)
Around 12:40 reach my destination... fill in the declaration form, register and wait...

Mm... how to describe my feeling?
Excited? scared? nervous?
It's 70% excited + 30% nervous...
Excited is because i'm going to do something meaningful...
Nervous is becuase I almost forget the feel when the needle was inserted into the skin of my arm and saw the blood flow out from my body...

After wait for 20 minutes, the nurse start to insert the needle into my skin after injecting the narcotic... then i just saw blood flow continuously to the bag!!!!
Then the only thing I can do is just squeeze the "heart" on my hand every 10 seconds to improve the flowing of the blood...
After 10 minutes, it's done!! It's just simple like that... Haha...
