Really really long 2 days.. 26th & 27th June.
I was on duty both days due to the Red Cross Blood Drive.
It took place at Agora Hall 1 in Republic Polytechnic.
---
Both days, we were faced with large crowds,
impatient donors and alot of problems.
Logistics suffered the most, because the
Blood Drive Official's decided to change the
layout to their improved version.
---
Jaslyn and me spend both days,
moving tens and tens of chairs.
MORE CHAIRS..
LESS CHAIRS..
lol.. so tired.. really tired..
We were under staffed,
both us Red Cross helpers,
as well as the nurses and doctors
who were part of the Offical blood drive.
---
CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!!
We managed to collect 216 bags of blood!
We may be short by our target of 220 but..
WE DID A GREAT JOB!!
---
I decided to donate blood on the first day too..
Basically the whole process is like this:
-
1) Firstly, proceed to Registration Counter,
to collect your particulars form to fill up.
-
2) After completing the form, queue up,
to meet the Admin staff to complete the form.
-
3) Proceed to queue to see the doctor after
that. The doctor will check your form,
blood pressure and weight.
He will also check if u are feeling well.
-
4) Proceed to Lab to give them a dab of
your blood. Basically they prick your finger
just to take a small blood sample.
This is to check the iron levels in your blood.
-
5) Lastly queue to donate blood. The process
is rather simple. They give u your donor card,
and some stuff to read. Then they clean
your arm, inject u with a painkiller.
That hurts alot.. but in seconds,
you feel your hand going numb.
Then the big needle (like a straw) is
inserted into your vein. Blood flows out.
-
6) After donating, rest for 10 min and
proceed to the last station (the rest area),
for free refreshments, drinks and cert.

Our blood drive finally ended at 7pm (OT. 2 hours)
When we were just outside the school campus,
we were informed that someone had fainted.
Jaslyn and me ran all the way to the scene.
-
One of the donors, who fainted at the drive,
had fainted again at a bus stop.
She was unconcious and could not answer
our questions or move.
We alearted HSA (Health Sciences Ath),
One Stop Centre, Office of Affairs.
Then we (with the help of the security buggy),
lifted her onto the buggy. She was
driven to One Stop Centre's sick bay.
-
We further informed her parents,
but there were alot of communication
problems as well.
-
Finally the parents arrived,
and the Ambulance arrived shortly after,
as they left.. I could see the shag faces of everyone.
She had been sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Hopefully she will be fine. =)
-
Jaslyn, Michael, Emily, Welna & myself..
we were all very tired and shag..
all the running, all the phone calls,
all the pressure, all the arguments,
all the carrying and caring for the patient.
GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!
YOU ALL SHOULD BE PROUD!!
TO BE FIRST AIDERS!!
AND PART OF RED CROSS!!
---

carry the girl and I ran alot.

His daughter, who is worried about not ever knowing
who her mum is, is determined to for once listen
to her father's life story, no matter how cheezy it may be.
The biggest problem is, dad's gonna divorce mum!

---
Indiana Jones
---
Great movie.. although the ending
was kinda stupid? How come got aliens?
But the action and the fun of the movie
brings back childhood memories.
---
Ironman
---
Both very exciting and good movie.
Ironman was a little draggy
in the storyline, but i guess it was so
because the director needed to fill
in all the details so that those
who knew nothing about ironman
could understand better.
---
Chronicals Of Narnia
---
Feels like 300 and Lord of the Rings?
The war scenes are like Lord of the Rings,
example, the scene of the magical river
and the big wave that killed the soldiers,
also the army that was attacking the Narnians.
The soldiers also wore armor that looked like
the immortals from the movie 300.
