This is yet another momentous event in my life – blood donation. Many do not know that one of my many biggest fear in life are needle and blood. I am afraid even of doing blood test but of course that is mandatory since health is at stake and it seems to be only a small quantity of blood (incase the quantity = amount of pain). Nevertheless I had my blood test on Tuesday and on Wednesday I embrace myself for blood donation – the first time EVER. Telling myself that … what is greater than a gift of life! Another form of donation. Since fear is the only deterrent … I’ve decided to overcome it. Hence with a company of another friend … filled up a form, had my finger pricked (for hemoglobin test I think), took blood pressure, got my little red book and lastly the moment I most feared off … filling up the bag with blood!

I was pretty tense … but thankfully it lasted probably 5 minute or less. Feeling as if the floor move a little, I lie down to take a short rest before getting up. Hot milo and yummy muffin was served … I guess it’s all a really worthy cause.
