Well, this was my first time ever in my 24-years life donating my blood. Since my company was organizing blood donation event, why not give it a try?

*Beware of the ‘bloody’ scene, view at your own risk ^^”

I planned to attend the event after lunch time, so… This morning, I ate my breakfast as usual, and this afternoon, I ate my lunch as well, to make sure that blood sugar level at stable condition so that I won’t get fainted after drawing out blood. I was quite afraid and nervous ><

Many of my colleagues and ex-colleagues from D5 were joining this event, not bad :P The time has come, we all headed to West Entrane where the event was held. First, donators were asked to fill in forms, test blood pressure, test blood type and get a small bucket of necessities, step by step. We all went inside and laid down on the provided chair. I put my left hand on the arm rest, waiting for nurse to come to draw my blood. Every nurse was so busy, so my turn was quite late compared to other colleagues’.

When it was my turn, I tried to loosen up my muscles and calm down my tension. The nurse took quite some time to find the right vein of mine.

Cucuk-ed

My blood flowed so slow… -_- All my colleagues had done withdrawing and my blood bag still haven’t fill up to 300ml. I was being teased that I lack of exercises, that’s the reason my blood didn’t flow rapidly, haha~ I also found out that the for guys, they need to withdraw 450ml whereas gals, we need to withdraw 300ml.

Gross…

Poor Me =(

OK… I was the last among my colleagues, I know -.- I was a bit puzzled after getting up from the chair and walked also a bit imbalance, luckily there’s a desk providing energy drink and bread. When every procedure has done, we all went back to our work station to continue working. I also consumed the pills given by the event. Some more after working I still got yoga session. Today was such a tiring day for me…

I’m quite happy for what I have done today because donating blood is so meaningful. I also get the chance to rebuild my blood cell :D Hrm… Should’ve done this long time ago >< I admit that my blood is pretty healthy, hopefully my blood will be useful for needy people out there ^^

Today, when I was working at the back, I heard noises at the entrance of the office,  guess there’s celebrity(s) coming in for visit. I see her from far, she seemed familiar to me yet I cannot recall what’s her name. I was trying hard to remember her but still cannot, then I asked Shukri what’s her name, haha~ She’s Ning Baizura la okay? After I went back home, I flipped through my photo album and managed to find the photos I took with Ning Baizura :D It’s been 6 years already…

There’s a story behind knowing this celebrity:

Someday in year 2003, me and my parents were happened to go to a charity show which was held in Sunway Hotel’s ballroom (I guess) with my dad’s company partner and his family. Andy Lau and Ning Baizura was there to perform as well. I forgot most of the details during the event. What I can remember the most is the moment when we were able to take photos with some celebrities after the show. It’s quite fun that time :D Everyone was leaving the place but only us ’sneaked’ inside celebrities’ rest room. Hrm… Not really a rest room la, it’s a average room for them to have some refreshment and social after the show with the media. We requested for taking photos with them and they’re glad to be taken too :D A bit nervous standing with them lo~!

In this blog, I only post the photo I took with Ning Baizura, not with Andy Lau, haha~ Maybe next time when I have something to blog about him :P

Back for today, Murai’s team led her to our block and Farid was helping us colleagues to take photos with her individually. Thanks Farid! We all like became shy when approaching her because she still looks so pretty and ‘glamour’ to us although she didn’t wear dress like 2003’s.

Happy ^^
