"I gave you blood. Gallons of the stuff."
I am pleased with myself. Well, kind of.
I mean, I've always wanted to do it, yeah, but I've also always been scaaaaaared.
It's almost like where things start going wrong in a horror movie, where the hero gets cucuk-ed with large needles and has his blood sucked out. Enough blood to fill a bag somemore.
I donated blood!
They said you had to be at least 45kg to be a donor, so I got on the scale and the guy-in-charge told me I couldn't donate.
I was very sick of being, um, rejected as a donor la. First time 'cause I pierced my ears a few months ago, second time 'cause I had a bit of a sore throat.
So what do you do when you really want to do it, but you're 0.5kg under the required weight?
You jump a bit on the scale, of course.
So the needle was swaying left to right, and I went, "Boleh la. Tengok, saya 45kg."
I am a genius.
Initially the nurse couldn't find my vein, she'd keep hitting my hand, adjusting the pressure, and going, "Hmm?", which freaked me out a little. I mean, I don't want to have her poke around, looking for my vein.
Anyway.
It definitely feels good.
So good, in fact, that the bunch of us who donated were all super enthusiastic about doing it again (3 months later la).
Ying Ying looked at her blood donor booklet, which recorded the times you donated blood, and said in an ambitious kind of way, "I want to fill this book up."
Yeah.
So you people reading this, go do it!
If you're worried about the pain bit, believe me when I say, it does not hurt that much!
Just a slight sting when they give you the anaesthetics, and after that you wouldn't feel a thing.
If you think I'm bulling you, well then at least believe the Look people halfway through the blood donation give their friends (who're presumably trying to assess things first before going in themselves), the kind of Look that says, "No pain at all!"
And trust me, everyone has that Look.
If it does hurt, which it shouldn't, I guarantee you, then at least you know, and you wouldn't have to do it again. And, you wouldn't have to say you never tried.
If it doesn't hurt, well then now you know! You can start donating blood for as long as you're capable.
And y'know, this is the easiest, and possibly one of the very few chances we have of doing something even remotely heroic.
