bleh.

the sch say they'll do smthg abt our pw grades.. hopefully they'll review how our stuff are graded, and regrade it, so tt they'll give a more 'deserving' grade.. and they did gave a good reason for their 'slow' response- saying it's becos of the long weekend break. ok fine. i'll see what they do...


went for blood donation today.. had a full meal at 1 plus.. then waited for ping til 3.15.. surprisingly, there were alot of ppls at the bloodbank today.. alot of male workers... ya, so i was kinda nervous abt whether i'll faint.. cos i DID felt dizzy and faint the last time i donated blood... so, the first 'injection' the staple shot - was actually quite painful... i was like... ouch! ok, not so loud la.. then went into the room... waited for quite long, before the nurse came to help me.. and the first anticeptic(i can't spell!) shot was also quite painful... i was supposed to relax the stressball, but i still squeeze it, then i saw that the vein(or wateva) kinda swelled.. hurhur..eeks! then afterwards, she inserted the needle.. also abit pain, cos she seem to have forced it in more.. aiyoyo..

overall: PAIN


after the donation, immediately after e nurse took out the needle, my heart started pumping really hard, and ONCE AGAIN, i felt dizzy!!! it was so argh! headache, cold sweat breaking out(due to low blood pressure, NOT the hotness). i was thinking to myself : I AM SO NOT DONATING BLOOD EVER AGAIN! ya.. the nurses came over.. the doc came over... fanned me, gave me drink... ya.. made me feel better... then the nurse say, 'next time u come, tell the nurses to give me a smaller pack for donation...so, u dun really have to stop donating blood, juz donate lesser'. that makes sense.. and so i felt.. ok maybe i'll give it ANOTHER shot.


then i stood up, and walked to the cafe. surprising i was feeling OK.. very good. no dizziness.. i could get my own refreshments w/out feeling dizzy... and i took a BUS home!! haha...i wanted to take cab, but all hired... and ya, i didn't faint on the way.. i felt normal...


so, overall, it was good and bad.. bad, becos my dizziness was immediately after the needle was pulled out(the first donation, i still have time to tok to ping before i felt dizzy).. the good thing, i recovered very much faster from my dizzy spells.. haha...


i'm starting to rethink abt the 50 donations... BUT i'm willing to give it another shot...
