Six times I have donated blood so far before today. The last was at 27th December 2008. First time was in school at ITE Tampines of the year 2006. Subsequently I did the rest at HSA Blood Bank. Procedure very simple. Anesthetic followed by the big needle for drawing blood. The anesthetic usually hurts a little and after that you will feel nothing when the big needle is in your hand.
Today I went for the 7th time for blood donation. The person who inject the anesthetic did not hurt as much as it suppose to. And as I expected, the anesthetic did not work. Probably she did not pump the anesthetic in. Only poke the needle in my hand. And I can safely say I donated blood today without any anesthetic effect. Hurt big time man! Imagine a needle slightly bigger then a Yakult straw stuck in your vein for at least 10mins. Arrgghh!! Bloody hell. Just because I was a soldier but don't have to test me untill like that right?? Well anyway it was fun though. I was a waste since my school had a blood donation drive on 27th may. Wanted to donate with my class but all haven't 18. Haiz... Anyway I couldn't donate then. I extracted my wisdom tooth and can only donate after a month of extraction. And today is exactly one month. Hahaha
