Finally I am back posting again..and with pictures…I am actually quite happy about it..After installing the windows live writer for a few months now..I finally get to post the picture…it seems that something is wrong with the album file..so it is fixed now..I am back to post again..
This is a post which i wrote a few months ago…here it starts..
Hello…I am here again…I am writing this article due to the cancellation of the class…Why is my class cancelled? This is all because of the disruption of water supply… It had been the third day without water supply…Well…I will tell you more about it later in this post…let’s move on with our story…
After the CNY event…I bet I had nothing more to say just want to tell you something about the blood donation event organize by Diploma students on 11th Feb and about the disruption of water supply…
This is the first time I had ever donate my blood…Hmm…So it is considered to be a new experience to me but perhaps it will seems dull to you if you had done the blood donation process before…But for those who had not done it before I hope this gave you an overview about the blood donating process…
My housemate went quite early that day to donate her blood…It is after her influence that I started to have the motive to do so too…Thus I followed her footsteps and decide to go to the Du, main hall after my afternoon class is done while I have an hour of break in the middle before the next class…Although there are so many poster pasted around the college for a few days, the student either is not interested in it or scare to go alone in the blood donating campaign so there’s a few announcement being made throughout the morning to urge the student to support this campaign beside asking the student who stay in the apartment facing the front not to dry their clothes in the balcony…( that what they always ask us to do whenever there are outsider here so that it will not leave a bad impression to the visitors…And to tell you the truth, I hate that when they do so as we can’t dry our clothes for the day even the sun is shining brightly on that particular day…)
At 2pm after my chemistry class, I went to the main hall with MY to participate in the campaign… Although MY is not allow to donate the blood as her grandma doesn’t allow her to do so but she accompany me to the main hall in order to observe what is happening in the hall…First each of us are given a form with lots of column to tick and there’s a column which require us to fill in our biodata… After a signature and the weighing process, we are ask to wait for the arrival of the officer in charge as they went to take their lunch earlier…When they are back, we are back to the line in order to be tested… First, our middle fingertips of the left hand will be pierce by small needle-like equipment…Then, our blood is drawn to the level mark in the equipment and the officer will divide that amount of blood in to 2 portion for testing the blood group…Each of the portion is being mixed with a blue and yellow solution to show the blood group…I have no idea about the others but for blood group O…Both the solution will turn to red in colour…Anyone mind to tell me what colour is obtained for A,B and AB? Then, another portion of blood is being drawn into the tube and dropped into a blue solution to detect whether is there enough copper sulphate in our blood…If you didn’t pass the basic requirements like more than 45 kg, not having period, sleep more than 5 hours, not pregnant, have enough copper sulphate and so on…You are not allow to proceed to the next stage…most of them fail here because of the copper sulphate in the blood, having flu, asthma, sick, took antibiotics, not heavy enough and so on…
MY and I had pass the first stage so we proceed to the second stage where the blood pressure is taken with some interview about the necessary information such as do you understand the part which started HIV patient, Malaria patient are not allow to donate their blood…After the nurse make sure you are fit for the blood donating activity, we can proceed to the next round…Unfortunately I got stuck in this stage as the nurse urge me to take my lunch before I proceed so MY and I had to come out from DU and had our lunch…MY are forbidden to donate her blood as she just confirm it by calling back to her house so both of us have to get out from DU…
After this I proceed alone without MY…After my lunch, I am qualified to go to the next round…Here, I am require to register myself as a blood donor by showing the form to the officer in charge and wait patiently while she is typing all my info into the computer…After that, I am given a transparent plastics bag which contains the form and a small red book that turns out to be the certificate of blood donating activity…
Finally, I reached the last stage where we have to queue up in order to wait for an empty bed for donating blood…I have waited for awhile before it is my turn to donate blood…I realize I can donate 3 bags of blood that day if I wanted to but all of us is only allow to donate 1 bag of blood and according to the condition of our health…We are seated on the chair while the nurse goes around all of us with the tube and bags and other injection…After being seated for a while, a nurse had came to me and had tighten the band around my arm… Then, she started to look for the vein in my right hand and clean it with the antiseptic before she injected some liquid into the place around the blood where the blood is being drawn out…Next comes the tube which my blood is drawn…It is being inserted into the vein... The moment it is being insert, the blood comes flowing out into the bag…There’s a small portion of blood is being drawn into 3 tube in order to prepare it for test...After the almost 10 minutes or so…I dun remember how long it is…the 400ml bag is full of my blood…The nurse came and collected all the equipment together with my blood while asking me to press hard on the hole made by the tube in order to stop the blood flowing out…After 10 minutes, a plaster is being provided and I am free to go…And the other side, food and a cup of hot drinks is being provided and the medicine is given to me…the 2 bags of medicine include 6 dose of folic acid which is so small and 6 dose of ferrous fumarate and I am require to consume 1 tablet each day after meal…And so ended the whole process of the blood donating…
Although I felt quite weak after climbing 4 flights of stairs…I am quite glad about it as everything is done and a new experience is gain…I forgot to take the picture while I am in the participation of the campaign… But my housemate, SN managed to take some picture of her classmate during this campaign so I decide to put it here…
They are so sweet and cheerful…Don’t they?
This is the poster of the campaign…
