27-04-07 BLOOD!!!!

On the 25th of April, 2007, our beloved Joseph Ting Kee Lung shed his blood for the sake of others...

He donated blood!!!

MAN, it was so cool!!

I was so excited after just seeing the posters all around school. I'm finally eligible to donate blood! Heehee...!!

I had to fill in this questionnaire first before I went for the donation. Some really cool questions inside, some which I wasn't too sure of the answers myself! e.g. "Have you had any vaccination in the last 6 months?", "For males: Have you had sex with a partner of the same sex?"(Of course, I DO know the answer for the second ques...!!!)

Just sitting with the technical support people asking me some stuff was fun!

Then, the doctor examined me so quickly I didn't realize he had even started! Talk about efficiency!! Following that, a nurse pricked my left middle finger to check whether my blood had enough iron in it. And the prick was just a tiny pricky feeling! WOW!!!

We were asked to drink this small cup of water while being pricked too! Wow... Nice service! FREE WATER! Water doesn't come free ya know... ESPECIALLY in Singapore!

Then, I got onto these long, lazy-chair-like chairs and awaited for my time to come...

I wanted to donate using my right arm but the nurse said my left arm had a more 'delicious' vein. It sounded so 'Count Dracina'ish! The process was quite fast and apart from the first injection, which felt like an ant bite, I didn't feel ANYTH else! Talk abt expertise!

Ooohhhh.. That felt nice!!

They even had these brochures to tell you of how you could inform them to NOT donate your blood should you realise you got something wrong with your blood.

"I'm sorry but I don't think you can donate my blood... I think I'm gay, my blood doesn't flow straight..."

"See? It's over already! Let's take a picture to prove that you didn't faint after donating blood..."

*faint*

Heheh... just kidding. That was Arvind there asleep on the way to NUS Faculty of Engineering for our visit yesterday. The second pic here is one of the guides showing us some cool lab stuff. A lot of advanced stuff, even got to see not one but TWO electron microscopes!

This was at the entrance place, somewhere around there anyway... I was thinking... Huh? How come the wheelchaired peopled don't get to use the shuttle bus?

"Wheel-chaired ones, this way to heaven"???

This following picture is just a random picture that I tok today on my way cycling back from college.

I just read in the papers today of a Canadian(or some other Western country) tourist commenting on how 'litterless' and clean Singapore is. I guess there ARE tow sides to a coin, eh? Heheh... It just rained though... Maybe some wet, scavenging cat's deed la.

Remember K.K. 2005, guys? Seaweed? Well...

Ooops, I did it again

I poo-ooped in school

blocked the toilet bowl

oh goodness goodness...

Couldn't help smilingwhen the water came UPWARDS instead of down the drain... NOT BECAUSE of the blocking but of teh memories in KK, okay!! Notice how I kept the dirty stuff from view? To stop you from hurling what... So considerate leh... But if look carefully, you MIGHT JUST notice a small speck right th... Nvm...
