My first time...

I have to admit one thing. At the age of *ehem* *ehem* ( a woman will never reveal her age), I never donate blood. Not ever once. Not that I'm afraid of needles, but I never had the chance. I was underweight, got migraine and long list of reasons for not to do it. But deep inside me I know it is just excuses not to donate.

So yesterday I have made up my mind that today I will donate my blood for the first time of my life. In conjunction of Safety Day of my company, there would be a blood donation drive and I will use this opportunity to do my part. My husband said that it is not painful, the most painful part is when they taking a small sample of blood to check your blood type. Oookayyyyy.. such a confident statement from someone who can't stand blood and needles, let alone donate blood. Iye je kan lah.. hehe (at the end, his statement was actually true!)

So I registered myself and donated the blood. Another of my colleague joined together (ok, she was the one who motivated me to donate actually), while 2 were restricted from donating coz they had an acupuncture less than 1 year and end up cheering us and the other colleague was there just to support us. So much love in the building! 

The best part of all of this, it wasn't painful at all! I felt light-headed after that and used that excuse to go home a bit early.. hehe.. It was wonderful experience for me as I postponed to do this for so many years and when I finally have the courage to do it, it was so simple and fast. I have wasted so many years with my excuses. Haih.. 

Therefore, from this day onwards, I will try to donate blood as much as I can as long as I'm able to do it. So for all of you out there, don't give excuses to donate blood. It wasn't painful at all. Your blood can saves lives :)
