I got rejected :( And only kids are allowed to do that really.

Imagine fretting and worrying over the idea of someone sticking needles (big or small) into me, then being perpetually reminded by the countless posters in church and announcements made. And SOME PEOPLE ahemberniceahem who attempt to demo on me during service. Then finally mustering the courage to really decide to do it, because I really do want to.

And then I get rejected. Actually 3 times.
1. The doctor flatly refused to let me donate seeing I was hyperventilating. (which I was not!)
2. My iron level was too low. I missed the standard of 12.5 by 0.1 decimal!
3. The lady decided to try to find my vein for fun, and checked both my arms, concluding it was too small and that I should work my arms more so that next year I have a greater chance of donating. Uncle Keming suggested housework. -.-

Sigh. Actually I really did want to donate, despite probably being scared to death. Deborah got rejected too, but she yiling yien were really nice to accompany me and encourage me. And while Hannah has a phobia of needles and Liqun was sick, they also tried to help me calm down and feel better. Lynn totally helped by telling me only the needle containing the anesthetic is painful. Haha. Thanks anyway.

I'll try again next year.
