Lousy lousy day

Stared like an idiot in front of the com in the morning. 

Wasted half an hr staring at the auntie at the SMRT counter because she keyed in my IC number wrongly and thus the system could not retrieve my records for refund. 

Specially made a trip down to bloodbank@HSA just to realise that I'm 0.3mg/L short of iron. 0.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE. Damn I will eat lots of iron packed food and try again next week.

Kena irritated, and arrived so late that I didn't really do anything.

And now I have to do work even though I can prolly fall asleep within 2 min of lying on the bed because tmr is another day of tuition and I have to finish the damn slides before I go back Monday...

Someone needs to deliver Starbucks to my hse right now. I NEED CAFFEINE.

Blood donation day!



Virgin experience at blood donation. I must say, it was not all too bad. Signed up for it with XF when she came around to ask the other day, then we went down together at 11plus to donate blood! Made to fill up all kinds of declarations, -.- Which person will, at the end of the day, tick yes for "I'm not feeling well" when before that were all kinds of questions just to ensure that you're a healthy person well enough to donate clean blood!!

So after the doctor, there was this person who drew blood for some iron test, which I barely passed -.- The lady was funny. As she drew blood, she went "ok your blood should sink here" as she dripped the blood inside, and the blood stayed afloat and she went speechless. So she drew more blood for another test, then asked me to rest awhile by the side while she waited for the results.. But the moment I went off, I got caught straight to the blood sucking needle -.- But it was so fast! 5min and the whole bag was filled :\


It's a little scary seeing the needle go in and out, because the needle was huge.. -.- While I don't have a fear of needles inside me, the thought of it can still be uncomfortable -.-


Looking at the terrible needle.

XF was happily taking photographs of me because they failed to find her vein, and hence she failed as a donor :\


Tada!

Was given iron tablets. :\ Feeling perfectly fine except for the numb feeling still present in my arm. :D Happy.
