First Blood Donation Ever

Yesterday evening, I donated my blood for very first time ever in my whole life. Yes, i know it sounds so hyperbolic. :p

I will tell to you people out there who read my blog. I planned to do on tuesday with my housemates Mai, but she was busy and our free time is not same. Haa, might be some of you asked why I have to go with my friend? Yes, u are right, because i am afraid. I need someone to accompany and encourage me. Here it goes, i changed my plan to the next day which was on wednesday. After i took my lunch in canteen of COIT (college of IT) then i went to the lobby which is the place of the blood donation. Scary and curious, yes only those two words where successfully describe my condition that time. Ok, it is normal for someone to be afraid of injection, am i right?

The steps for donation, first you have to fill the donor application form. There are questions about your personal details and your body conditions. Done with it, they will check your weight, it has to be 45 kg, the minimum requirement of weight for blood donor. And guess, my weight is passed. Exactly 45kg. After checking the weight, then they will check your blood type, naaah this is the part that make me was so surprised. My whole life, yes my whole life. I know if my blood type is 'O', i don't know whether i had been tested before or not, but for sure, all of personal data, like identity card and others was mentioned if my blood type is 'O' yes 'O'. Even i asked abah and ummi, they said the same things. so i never think to test my blood type, i mean for what? 

It went wrong, brothers and sisters. my blood type is 'B'. aa, and i was like 'really'? I asked the nurse whether she tested me right or wrong, and she answered it with great confidence, 'of course my test is right, it is risky for me, because it brings people's life'

ok, i stop for asking.

Here it is again and again, all the nurses were not believed if i am from INDONESIA, please do believe. lol

Checked weight, the blood type, the blood pressure, and here it comes the needle is watching me from far. My friend Mai, she lied to me haha, she saw me first how I going through to all those steps, then once if her brave is full enough she will donate -_-; The needle was not that scary as I thought, once the needle is pierced to you then she asked you to hold a small tube, and you have to make action as like you pump something. (hard to explain). This was just to make your blood pumped out faster. 

Done all the steps, i should get a rest around 10 minutes, then i went to class, i can not concentrate in class, my energy that i gained from the lunch and it just gone, so exhausted, really really exhausted. I supposed to have class until 5pm, but i skipped my last class, my semiconductor class, i have to get rest a while before my exams which was at 6pm. Yesterday was the long day ever, ever.  Right after exams, i went to mosque, I had PPI's program at mosque, PPI worked together with Wawasan, to held a talk 'Love is Cinta'. The speakers are Imam Muda Asyraf ( He is the winner of program Imam Muda in astro, i just knew last night :p) and the writter of best seller novel Tautan Hati, i tried to read once but hard to understand.

Please do pray for me, in less than 3 weeks i will do my final exams, i still have projects, tests, and other things. I have to find a room around KL, for my internship, my passport not settle yet. May Allah make everything goes easy and well on me. :)

current mood: I miss my ummi and abah so much, i am sure my parents will get surprise if i told them this experience :p
