Give Life, Give Blood
Another day of slacking on Saturdays morning while at work. Gonna update my blog since I din do it last nite.
Yesterday was a GREAT day. First trip to the bloodbank and VIRGIN BLOOD DONATION!!
Why the sudden idea to go for blood donation? Now thinking back, I can't really remember. I jus know that the whole process happened really fast, and well, I've done it! I remember the first time I really came across blood donation was in JC. Had this really massive drive in school and under everyone's influence, everyone was very enthusiastic to try out blood donation. When everyone's doing it, and furthermore there's nothing wrong with blood donation, you will tend to want to be part of the crowd. Only thing was, I was having my period. And so no donation for me. And when the crowd got too big to handle for the nurses, many were referred to the Bloodbank. I guess the number dropped if there was alot of traveling to be done. When I asked my parents about blood donation, they were not particularly supportive. I still needed the consent form. And after that, I jus sort of forgot about it.
Recently been hearing Chris mention about the blood donation and well, feeling rather bored, I decided mebbe I should go for it lo. Do something good. Furthermore, looking at the blood meter, the amount for my blood group was in the warning region.
Made an appointment online, on Tuesday, together with our intern. Haha she's got psycho-ed into alot of things since she came into our office. SO yesterday after work, Chris, Hui Shan and I trooped down to the Bloodbank. There wasnt much of a crowd, fortunately. And so everything went very fast.
We took a form, registered ourselves, answered the questionaire, went for a doctor's checkup, den blood test for iron content in the blood(this was the most painful of all the jabs. Its the same procedure as when they take the blood sample to make our IC), and well, blood donation!! And Hui Shan counldn't go for the donation cos her iron content is too low. For me, I seem like the perfect candidate. The nurses there were very nice, very friendly and helpful. My veins pooped up pretty fast. While the lady next to me, ws her first time too, But I overheard they couldn't find her veins, so she was passed over for donation. They tried looking on both arms, but was unable to find it. There was the sanitizing of the skin where the needle was going to go in, followed by a local anesthetic, and in goes the needle to draw blood. No pain! Other den during the blood test and the local anesthetic. And it was rather fast. Over in about 10-15 mins. And u're suppose to rest there to make sure there are no discomfort after the blood donation. Den there is the pump for souvenier, and a coupon for the milo and bread. And Iron tablets. I can go back again about 3 months later, although the card says 13th Oct 2006. Shall see when OCt comes hee.. Wonder if I would still keep it up heh heh.
No strenous activities for me for the next 10-12 hours. The wound's still there. Which looks like a mosquito bite. But my arm is hurting a little. Especially the vein I tell you. When I exert too much force or move my arms too fast, it will have this feeling when one rubs on a bruise. So still feeling a bit weird even after a good nite's slp. Shall drink more water to make sure I replenish the water loss.
After the blood donation, we went to chinatown, to look at the many many beads shop that are located at the People's Park Complex. A really cool place sia! And I really find that Chinatown is really a not bad place to hang out. There are many nice food and many interesting things! ANd since now Steffan is along the NEL line, most probably that area will be our hang out heh heh.
Another 2 more hours to knock off.
More about the latest activitites I do to make my life more exciting. I signed up for a jewellery making course! The price is rather affordable, and its conducted over 4 sessions, 2hrs each. The location is really near, and its starting next week!! Wah so excited sia! Anyone wan to join me? I think the class is still open heh heh. Now my afterwork activities are more, and well, more fulfilling I hope.
I've got golf, and jewllery making to kill time. And now that laptop is back, I can play online games, watch my CSI. Not to forget the books I borrowed from the library. 2 John Grisham and a CSI comic!! I sure can keep myself entertained haha. But I sure need the elements of frens. Maybe shall organise something. Oh yes, there's still KTV! Haha..
Looking for khakis to watch Lady in the Water. Anyone interested contact me! Watching on weekdays, after work hours will be good. Heh heh. I think its a rather interesting show esp after the trailer. Not to mention, its by M Shaymalam. The master of twists. But I hope this twist is a good one. Heard the one for The Village was a flop. Mayb I will watch that in Genting if nobody watches with me. Ha cheap movies next weekend!! Or mebbe on my own. Did that once, can do it again. :)
Counting the hours to knock off. WOrking on Sat is so very really sucky sia. And nothing is done too. Or mebbe I'm just slack. Haha.. But everyone in office is not doing much too. Ha Siew Yin and boss are wiping computers and tables haha. Margaret is downstairs. She seems to be coming in every Saturday sia!! THinking if I should change my shift back with Chris. Previously changed my Sat shift so that Steffan and I can be off the same Saturdays. And I ended up being on the same shift as boss. Which means, when I slack, I gotta be a bit more careful la. But if I want to change back, I'll have to work for consecutive Saturday, which, I'm quite tired to do it la. And I've got no reason to do it actually.. so hmm.. shall see how things goes ba... August is coming so fast sia.. And so is pay day haha.
With pay day, I;ve gotta pay my hp bill first, keep aside expenses for gym subscription and my cpf loan, and hopefully I will have enough to rebond my hair... still need to dye it a few months later. Looking for good lobangs and good recommendations!
Really bored now. Mebbe I shall go pack my office table.

Wow! For nearly 2 months, I havent update liao. My laptop's up again, but I haven't collected it yet. Shall ask dad to collect it tomorrow for me heh heh. Now using office computer to update my blog. Have been laggin in blog reading too. But seems like not many pple have been updating their blog leh.
Anyhow, past 2 months have been quite ok surviving without my laptop. Only problem is, cant play yahoo games in office leh. And I miss the games. Things been quite great these 2 months. GOt my long holiday, which went by really fast. And burnt a hole in my pocket. But ok la. The hole was worth it haha. Now its back to reality and the harsh life in SICC.
Got my PC card by kelong I would say haha. I either need lots of practice, or a set of new golf clubs. Still pondering on what to do. Everything else is rather ordinary. Steffan's graduating end of this month. Great job! Heh..
Now waiting for my colleague to send me something so I can send out to the vendor. So nothing to do den come update my blog. Nothing much else to say though. The long break has been quite good. And I gave up another chance to leave SICC. Especially when I got my PC haha. The temptation to stay becomes greater lo. Where can you play golf for free sia. Hard to find leh. Also, seems like I got roped in for new project, which means new challenges so, it not that bad a place also la. The staff meal still sucks though. And this whole month, staff meal will be nasi padang!! I suddenly feel liek going vegetarian. The food is either all chili, or fried, and super oily lo. And I only had 3 days of it. Lucky I was not ard earlier part of july. Hopefully suffer less. Next month don't know will change or not.. Now we even got instant noodles in the office just in case.
Well, I jus gave up another chance, so sometimes I wonder why I go for the interviews haha.. The next weekends are fully packed!
This weekend will have Superman in OmniMax, Sat Steffan's moving to Punggol. Next week, plans for Sentosa for a tan. After the nice small tan from Ocean Park, everyone in office agrees I look better with a tan haha. And for the last week of July, going Genting with my family! Enjoy some cool breeze heh heh.
But end of the month, Steffan will be leaving for Hongkong and China, and Taipei, before coming back to Singapore. So I will be free from 31st July, until 12 like that ba. If he goes as planned. So that will be a good time for me to KTV, play mahjong, meet up with frens, and mebbe practice my golf more. Not to forget my gyming.
I found a really good use for my California Fitness card when I was in HK haha. Was really desperate to use the toilet, and couldn't find one. Good thing I brought my California Fitness card along, and I went to HK's California Fitness to use their toilet!!! Hahaha.. Lucky I brought it with me. Else I guess I'll jus have to wet my pants haha.
Highlights of the trip: (as I can remember them offhand)
- Lan Kwai Fang, the "live" band was good and there was a couple "doing show" for us haha
- Lantau Island, the ferry there was rather tedious, but the vegetarian meal was really great! And the momentoes were cheap and very nice. I think we donated alot to the temple building fund
- Causeway Bay, the place we went till we knew where every shop was. Its has a mixture of Bugis Village, and far east kinda thing. But that's where we got all our clothes and everything from. Cheap, nice and can bargain!
- Tsim Sha Zui, the ladies market. WE went and got caught in the rain. But also due to the rain, we got rather cheap bargains. Go only when there are less tourists, and rain. There is less crowd, and can bargain more. Got a HKD280 bag at HKD150. And I only bargained once. The designs are really alot trendier, I havent found any similar designs in SIngapore.
- Ocean Park, the place where all of us almost heatstroke, but got tanned. Took most of the rides, other than the abyss. Which is those plunging type of ride. Thought the roller coaster will b scary, but it was really quite fun ha. Everyone got freaked out by me haha. I'm such a whiner haha.
- Tim Sum in HK is really good and cheap too! The congee's the best! Not to mention the great dinners we were invited to. Yum yum. Its a place I dun mind going again! But this would mean no shopping for me for a yr! haha
Shall update more when I get my laptop and upload the pictures! Hope my laptop hard disk dun die on me. Means I can watch the ending of CSI Season 6!!! YESH!! haha.. Ok time to knock off. Yippee!! More when I get my lappie pple!
