Leaving

Well, I'll be leaving for UKM today after school and we'll be heading straight to Hanoi, Vietnam on Sunday. We'll be back on the 30th, which means I'll be exactly 2 weeks absent from school. This is actually the first time I'm going to be away from home for more than a week and it's been really difficult for me. Not to mention the excessive pressure from the high expectations of people around me, I'm absolutely emotionally and mentally stressed out.

However, I'm very grateful to be surrounded by a circle of close friends who are concerned about me and have been very encouraging. I know its only a mere 2 weeks but I'm seriously going to miss each and every one of you. Thanks so much for all the well wishes and the blessings.

Thanks to Pn. Lim for working so hard to manage our trip to Hanoi. It must have been very difficult, especially with the self-centered and inconsiderate principal around. Thanks for your generous contribution for our taxi fare to UKM and your hard effort to find sponsors for our trip.

Thanks to Yichun for being very concerned about me and my preparations for this trip. I can feel that you really do treat me as your real younger brother. Please do take care too while I'm not around for these 2 weeks ^^

Thanks to my Kai ma for her very special gift. I'm honestly touched when you handed me that cute lil doll flown all the way from Korea, my tears almost came out, haha. I swear that I'll keep it for the rest of my life. I'm glad there's something to remind me of you while I'm at Vietnam, hehe. So lucky to be your Kai Cai ^^


Thanks to Uncle Charisma for taking your time to make me that short testimonial in friendster. Very 'gan dong' leh ^^

Thanks a lot again to everybody. May we meet again in 2 weeks time. Ciaoz. T_T


p.s. Anybody that has free time please do not hesitate to phone me, haha. And before I sign off, how do I look?Kai ma says I look more mature, haha, which is a good thing. Too bad I will not have the chance to attend High School's Prom Night in this suit =(


Choppy,

Blood...

Yay! I donated my blood for the first time yesterday! I am so freaking proud of myself! ^^ ( Sorry for the 'self-siok', haha) And the best thing is I'm not even 18 yet! ( No, I did not lie to the nurse about my age, I've got parents permission, FYI ) So, shame on those people who are already 18 and yet have no guts to donate their oh-so-precious blood *wink* =P

Venue : High School, Klang
Date : 12 July 2008
Time : 10:30 am

Peace! ^^

My Blood......cool!

Ok, I admit I was freaking darn terrified and nervous when I arrived at the hall. Everyone was like saying how pale I looked and my blank reactions when they talk to me, lol. Oh well, it was my first, so I guess its normal to be scared. But everything turned out fine and it didn't really hurt that much, trust me, Kar Hing's pinch is much worse than the needle, haha.

Anyway, I'm pretty disappointed though because my Kai ma and Uncle Charisma said they would be there but they didn't turn out =( Ok, Uncle Charisma did came about 30 minutes after I was done donating. Oh well, I heard he was busy flirting with Siau Man xD Busy flirting yet no guts to donate, sad =.=

I would like to say thanks to
- Boon Kai for being there to chat with me and taking photos, although he too didn't donate because he was too afraid of the needle =.=
- my junior, Lih Yan who was practically there just to nag me and complain how slow my blood is filling the pack and she too did not donate because she was obviously underweight, haha. She might not even have enough blood for herself xD
- Wooi Seng for accompanying me and chatting with me before I went to donate so that I was not that nervous. Another one that didn't donate for god-knows-what-reason =P
- Chen Huat who was donating his blood right next to me and talking all those nonsense to distract me. I felt bad when he got scolded by the nurse because he was disturbing me when the nurse was about to inject the needle =( He was just trying to distract me from the needle though...
- Aunty Kwee Ping for her concern and encouragement ^^ Too bad she didn't donate because she was also afraid of the needle.

Anyway, it was a great experience. There's no doubt that I will be donating again in the future because it feels so great to able to save life. So to whoever out there who is still a blood-donation-virgin, stop being a sissy and start donating!

Serve for Mankind.

p.s. My blood type is A.

Choppy,
