the 3 brave souls, including myself, went to the hall, where the drive was held,during our lunch break. the hall was packed. i was surprised at the overwhelming response. =) kindness is all around us. i passed the first station successfully because it was some admin stuff. however, things are not that smooth sailing.
when i told the doc that i took the anti-malara injection in nov last year, he immediately rejected me. =( that injection, together with my weight had made me an unsuitable donor. he said if i were above 52kg, i would be able to donate my blood today. since that is not the case, i have to wait for 2 more years before i can be a blood donor. disappointed.
i told my parents about this when i got home. both reacted differently. my dad was obviously not paying attention to what i was saying because he told me to drink lots of water to replenish the blood i had donated. duh! i did NOT donate any blood today. as for my mum, she gave me this are-you-sure look? she actually advised me not to do such things again. WHY NOT? i guessed it is because we both have a different mentality towards blood donation. she sees it as a dangerous thing to do and thinks that it will harm my health. that's WRONG! is that what we called generation gap?
2 years later, what will i be doing? where will i be? how will i look like? will i be a blood donor then?
