ASHA
This is my first post as an eighteen-year-old(: Hehe Rini keeps asking me how it feels like being eighteen..well...it feels...OLD and yet very normal unless you're waiting to be legal to do other stuff,then it may be alot of change:) And, a BIG FAT THANK-YOU to everyone- you all gave me a great, sweet and memorable birthday! Happy Birthday to Doven, Yu Xuan, Nurul, Nisaa, Faizal, Renuka & Amanda! April people rock regardless of being Aries or Tauruses(: I had previously saved this post as a draft since it was incomplete. I'm now completing it on 29th April. The blood donation drive came to our school today and I had registered for it, goodthing I didnt need a consent form or else my parents would have never signed! Furthermore when I told them about me donating blood, Dad went- "How to donate when you yourself don't have enough?" he predicted I'd be rejected..he was unhappy about me signing up and said "There are some decisions you should make only after asking your parents." Good news is that my veins could be detected after 2 tries, I had healthy b.p of 122, a just nice on-the-dot haemoglobin level of 12.5, and a healthy weight range so I qualified=D. Bad/Sad news is that it was a disaster in the end,incomplete donation since I only managed to donate 180ml blood instead of 300ml:( since I had to faint twice during the withdrawal of blood. Anyways, looking on the brighter side, I'll get to know my blood group in a week or so by mail, and I found out all my bp&hg levels etc. plus I got the experience&all even if it turned out bad. Wow and a big thanks to Divya! If not for her, I might have never gotten up&out of my seat and later the stretcher or might not even have survived,I'm really grateful to Nicole's twin:Divya! Hehe not forgetting Suhailah who allowed me to squeeze her hands so tight both times I was poked, and that funny girl said "Sorry for the inconvenience caused" to one of the volunteers there who was cleaning up the blood that had splurted out all over the floor, seat and my shirt while I had collapsed. Tsk, Suhailah, it was the nurses who didn't take notice! Sigh, actually I was really disappointed. All that excitement to help, the pain of drawing blood and poking needles into my vein that I went through-for nothing since I couldn't even fill up 300ml! I bet the blood that had splurted out would've made it 300! What a long day-mostly spent being drowsy,but yay I got to check out the recovery rm a.k.a sick bay!! It was a dark,lonely,deserted place though. I'd have rather stayed in class. Next blood donation is on the 22nd July, but not to worry, I'm not intending to go again at this stage! Thank-you for everything, sorry for not listening & being troublesome and I love you-all to everyone! I'm so dead cos when Papa gets back, I've got to hear a whole lot of stuff since Mdm Shamala had called them up! Btw, Pooja ate a PINK slice of cake! Tsk tsk, anti-pink and pink haters association?! Here's some pictures of the gruesome process,courtesy of Suhailah:) who was still taking pictures after I collapsed twice,but good photography skills:) and I didn't have to do the 5 essay questions bio test today! It'll be post-poned to Friday.Oh yes,our class got selected for the CIP project presentation hurray! Loves!
The begining:) Blood flows smoothely thru tubes. The nurse adjusts 1st bag, and attatches 2nd..going. The first bag-starting to fill up. The first bag now fuly filled:)

Keep going, and going and gone 150ml so far. Top right hand corner-2nd bag starting to fill up... Other tubes containig blood for tests. The last picture before Suhailah left.

Also,check out-Nisaa's,Doven's and my matching purses:)
