So, with her full determination (and a promise of a free shoe bag :p), Inche managed to convince me and Fendi to go all the way to West Mall to support the Exxon Mobil Blood Donation.
I reached there at around 3.45pm and get my queue number of 257. My lucky number! I knew that things would go fine from there on :) We didn't come together, but I managed to find Fendi among the crowd. His queue number was 251, for he was 5 mins earlier than me.
The crowd was pretty good and I must give it to Exxon for their event coordination skill. Everything looked well planned and organised. I believed there is some goofed up here and there (heard them talking about missing doctor, etc), but they handled those well.

| My Blood Donation Form :D |
The wait after registration is the longest one. I waited around 45 mins before finally assigned a doctor to check on my blood pressure. After blood pressure was HB check. Afterwards is the... blood donation itself. It's not my first time doing this, but I was still looking away whenever they poked my nerve. Next time I want to look!

| Feel like peeking through the bandage but afraid of the horror awaits |
As soon as they setup the needle on me, the warm blood started to flow from the pipe to the prepared blood bag. They left it there for around 5 mins, and then as soon as it reached the required weight, they came, take out the needle, put on the bandage and sent me to the refreshment counter - the counter I have been waiting for! :p
 |
| The blood, no, my blood!! And the hanger is actually a weight scale |
The refreshment was as good as how I remembered it last time. Lots of drinks and biscuits :D I had Milo + Soya Milk + Fruit Juice + Biscuits. I know I will come back for this alone! ^^;

| Happily eating after the blood donation :p |

| The Power Rangers :) Fendi with the nice shoes bag! |
The whole experience is getting less and less painful. I don't mind doing this regularly. Just that... I need to sleep additional 8 hours to recover. I felt so sleepy after the donation and sleep like a pig the whole sunday afternoon T_T
Till the next shoe ba.. I mean, donation! :)
