I finally donated blood after 2 years of attempts! Got rejected a few times previously for low blood pressure but this isn't my 1st donation. Feels so good to be eligible for donation once again. Haha! Surprising that it wasn't that painful this time round. Perhaps like what Yuwen said, I didn't focus on the pain.

Let's recap my blood donation journey..
The 1st time i attempted it was back in JC and I got rejected as I only weighed 44.5kg then (mind you the minimum weight one should be is 45kg). I was thinking "I'm only 0.5kg short why can't you let me pass?".
I think I passed the 2nd and 3rd times. But couldn't pass the subsequent few attempts. Once was the whole group of TCCs went to the blood bank after work one day. oh well..I was the "initiator" of that particular blood donation exercise. I remember it was Nuraini's 1st time at giving blood. But who knows, I was the one who couldn't donate (what other reasons are there besides low BP again?) and they got so "mad" at me.hahah.

Ok so it's back to school already. Argh..the one thing I dread most especially having so much fun at Chiang Mai and Xiamen. My 1st time going on holiday and return 1 day before school starts. Tiring! Though trip to Xiamen was really short, it was really intense and fun-filled. My 1st time seeing seeing strawberries at strawberry farm! The 1st time was at Gold Coast but it wasn't the season yet so I only saw the plant then..

So much schoolwork to do now and there's still the pineapple production at home. oh man! I should hide in hall until CNY to escape it! But it's soooo NO LIFE!

Ok shall get down to some work.
