BD campaign is helding on tarc hall from 10-14 july again!!
i was planning 2 go college hall during break time on 12 wit my frenz–hui san.. both of us r so exciting coz it’s de 1st time.. when v reach outside de hall, there r some FAU’s helpers 2 give us instruction..
1st entered de hall is ve 2 get ur weight… my god, i m underweigth la, ToT, ‘terpaksa’ go out from de hall n cant donate ade… luckily there’s a nice FAU senior let me pass de weigthin stage… haha, so glad la, can continue de followin checkin stage..
after filled in de form they provide, i was askin move 2 de blood checkin stage.. easily, i pass de stage… next is go 2 check de blood pressure… aiks, de doctor askin so much ques… wait! she askin me whether eat alr anot, i was so stupid n said haven la… she looked at me suprisingly, n ask me go outside take some food 1st… aiks, i need 2 move out from de hall again…
de helper outside is very nice n bring drink 4 me… i was so rush 2 finish de drink n small cake… juz few min, then i go in 2 hall again… oh no, de same doctor is goin 2 check 4 me again!! lol, de blood pressure shown is low la… i was told dat cant donate dat time…. she advices me later or 2mlr only come back 2 donate, but b4 dat ve 2 make sure eat 1st!!
i was leave de hall wit disappointed… i decided later finish class ll go there again!!
after one an a hours of bio practical, there’s pure math tutorial class… haha, luckily our math lecturer was absent, thus de tuto had been cancelled.. i drunk a ribena b4 i returned 2 de hall, it’s bcoz i scared my blood pressure was remain low as juz now…
when i entered de hall again, i straight away went 2 blood pressure checkin stage wit de report i received juz now.. luckily tis time not de same doctor checkin 4 me…
easily i had pass through all de checkin stage, de hospital staff was given me a pack of thing to fill blood n a card dat certify of donate blood… when i laid on the bed prepared, feelin so excited…after few min, there’s a FAU’s member n a nurse came 2 my bed.. de FAU’s so nice n told me b relax… i was talkin 2 her until din aware dat de ‘jarum’ had stuck into my hand… haha, i only noticed it when felt little pain on my right hand…
dunno whether i had exercise my finger or any other reason, the nurse said my blood was moving very fast into de pack… within 5 min, de pack is full-filt wit my blood… b4 de nurse get away my blood, she let me touched on it…. by holding my warm n fresh blood, i can imagine dat someday, some1 ll using it when needed… i was never regret about it although i felt a bit weak after de donation…
my blood donation experience was ended when i left de hall.. b4 tis i wrote a big signature on de board dat FAU prepared… tis great n meaningful experience ll keep in my mind during de whole life… i shared my experience here is hope 2 encourage all my frenz, n don’t b scared about donate blood… coz after u try it, u ll really felt wonderful^.^
