GOODNESS.
i fainted today, while donating blood. It's my first faint, and it's quite a horrible thing to go through lar! i used to think that fainting was pretty cool, like how the actress in those serials always fall limp and have that dreamy look after fainting. WHAT IS MY PROBLEM LAR. it's how scary lar.
the minute the needle went in, i felt a sudden wave of lethargy wash over me, almost immediately. in the next few seconds that followed, everything in my vision started to turn into shades of grey, then black. and then i lost consciousness.
next thing i knew, i was surrounded by a few nurses, all hurriedly removing the needles and elevating my chair in a way to allow for the blood to flow to my head. i remember wondering where the hell i was, as i tried to recall what had happened moments before. i even thought i was at home, waking up from a nap. sheeshh.
thank goodness you were there, dear. :) i know i teared the moment i saw your worried face, but only because it was such a comforting sight amidst the alien equipment and strangers.
i hope they continued storing my blood though, i think it was at least half a bag lar. oh anyway, the pastries they offered at the lounge area is really nice. hehh, NOT that you should donate blood because of superficial, gluttony desires like food, BUT it's just a nice little bonus. :)
