I've been a regular donor up till Jan last year (2008). Coz I was bitten by an Aedes mosquito and diagnosed with Dengue Fever in Dec 2007. It didn't kill me or else I won't be writing this now. But it was like a very very bad fever. You'll feel warm now but the next minute icy cold. But I was considered lucky as I wasn't admited into the hospital and no 2 weeks MC either. OKOK... coming back to the topic of this post. I resumed my BLOOD Donation today. I gave about 500cc of AB+ blood in about 15 mins time but the waiting and health screening took about 45 mins. The one hour plus was well spent, learning that you can save upto 3 people with just one pack of blood equivalent to a regular size mineral water.
Well, other than the fulfillment of saving someone's life, it is also a self encouragement to keep yourself healthy in order to donate regularly. My gf is also a regular donor, but females donor need to endure more. They usually have tiny blood vessels which collaps during donation or when it coincides with thier period which made them not suitable for donation. However it didn't stop her from doanating.
I think others may have their own phobia such as needles, pain, blood etc. But give yourself a chance to try and also give three other people who need your blood a chance to live.
That's all for now!! =)

让我来Blog Blog!!
I used to blog long long time ago using friendster. But after so time lost interest alr. How come now re-blog again? Good question. Just wanna put some photos up and write about them. Maybe can include my 减肥计划 also. Haha...
An unhealthy lifestyle of sitting after eating had ballooned by waist line from 31 to 32 and after 2 years of unhealthy-ness, I'm at 34 now. But I've started eating less (whenever I can) and go for a jog. Waking up early in the morning and go for a refreshing jog was great. BUT it only worked once. SO, I've switched to jog at nite. I used to say there are "SIAO" ppl who jogs at nite. Now I know why, coz they can't wake up in the morning.
I think that's all for a first post. Maybe next post will put in some of my photos =)
