Blood Donation

This is about what happened when I donated blood just this Wednesday. I am no regular donor, in fact it was my first time because I am damn scared of needles and injections!!

Ever since young, I always gave problems when it came to getting injections be it BCG or Tetanus.. whatever. I used to cry a lot, my doctor scolded me once. He said,

"I have not even poked you yet with the needle and here you are crying already!!"

Sorree.. I can't help it okay? Thank God I didn't cry in form 3 and standard 6! Would be way embarrassing!
So, I have no idea from where this courage of mine came from, which made me want to go and donate my blood! It's like sending myself to the slaughterhouse! I suppose the presence of my friends there posed as a catalyst which really pulled me to this donating thing. I am glad that I did it though. Because, I have finally been able to gather up my courage and face my fear. Proud of myself!! *laughs heartily*
Oh yeah, I didn't donate a full bag though. I couldn't! Started to feel dizzy at the end, seeing blackspots and the nurse had to pull out the syringe from me. My coursemates had to give me warm milo in the bed. Lied down the for God knows how long... Oh well. Kind of disappointed..
A funny side to this story, before anyone donates their blood they have to go through a series of questioning and testing. When it was my turn, this nurse asked me, which I suppose is a standard question.
"Pernahkah anda menjalin atau melakukan sebarang hubungan seks?"
I do not know what I was thinking...
I said " Belum.."
Instead of "Tidak." Gosh, she must be thinking that I am just waiting to jump into bed with any guy...Hahah. Crap!

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
