Blood donation day
This is my SMU friend Janice beside me and she's really a sweet and warm friend. Met up with her to catch up and she was nice to accompany me for blood donation after our lunch. We had lunch at Yoshinoya and after that went to the blood donation area stationed at Dhoby Ghaut mrt station. I realised that Janice is lazy to use exercise her brains at times hahaha. . because she turned down my offer to do Sudoku while waiting in the queue. Sob sob. Hahaha. .
Anyway, I really didn't expect to face this scenario once again. The doctor said that my blood pressure was low and told me to drink some water and come back to him after 10-15 minutes. The first time I went for blood donation, I didn't eat my breakfast so that might explain why. The second time I went for blood donation, I learnt my lesson and had a full meal before I went. Now's the third time and I had a full meal at Yoshinoya. I'm quite puzzled why my blood pressure was still low. . probably because the food weren't digested yet? Hahaha. . Next time I will have a full meal and wait for it to digest well :D
I drank plenty of water, and my blood pressure was finally satisfactory. However, when I went to test my blood, it showed a deficiency in iron. So at the end I still wasn't able to donate my blood. I was supposed to donate my blood and have Janice accompany me. It went the other way round ironically hahaha. . I'm grateful for having a friend like Janice who replaced me :D Hee hee. .
Love me @ 8:25 PM
