Blood donation tak jadi

A blood donation was going on in UKM yesterday and today and I decided to take part in it.

I am all for blood and organ donation. The thing is... I'm SUPER TERRIFIED of needles. Like SUPER!

So, after I've gathered enough courage to put fear aside and do something for mankind, I asked my roommate, Wei Lin, to teman me to the blood donation drive.

They made me fill up forms to make sure that I am suitable to donate and they even used that whatever-they-call-it thing to make a cut on my ring finger to check what blood type I am.

I mean, they really made a cut! There was a cut line. I thought it was only a dot. But it was a line!

But anyway, I found out that I'm an 'O'.

So after I was cleared at that stage, a doctor checked my blood pressure, and I kantoi-ed at that stage. Apparently, my blood pressure was too low. 108/58 or something.

It means I didn't get to donate blood. Somehow, I felt a leeeetle tinge of relieve but a beeeeet disappointed.

They CUT me then they don't let me donate.

I bled and then they don't let me donate.

It's ok. I'll try another time. Just the thought that they'll cut me again scares me.
