Why , Oh Why!!!

Why in the world does the weekend have to be so short...especially saturdays!!! it sucks!!!

sniff...sniff...

Once upon a time, there lived a peaceful girl who loved to do scrapbooking. little did she know that something horrendous was about to happen. One day, as she was cutting something for her scrapbooking, the mean, old blade slipped from the ruler, & attacked her delicate finger!! *GASP!!! The blade had taken a big bite of her skin, & consequently, her finger began to ooze droplets of crimson blood.
The girl frantically tried to stop the blood with tissues upon tissues!!! Finally, she had no choice but to cut off the flap of skin that dangled from her finger in order to clean the would thoroughly. Despite the pain & agony, the girl overcame the trials, & came out victorious with battle scars to prove her victory. The End!!

the week ahead...

(refer to http://www.boltcity.com/copper/copper_021_happy.htm to read the full comic page.)
Well, this week is going to be rather enjoyable. Today, school was normal. Classes weren't too bad. Tomorrow, we have our privilege trip. the itinerary is as follows: 1. walking to knox from school. 2. bowling at AMF. 3. Lunch in the food court. 4. movie (choices are 'Dark Knight', Mama Mia, or Get Smart). I'm really looking forward to that. On Wednesday we are going to watch the play "A Man For All Seasons" in Dandenong. Its a couple of hours long....i sure hope that its interesting. We have a day off on Thursday because of Parent Teacher Interviews...which i am planning to go along to, because teachers are nicer when the student is actually there. Sadly, classes are as normal on Friday. Lifegroup is then on friday night. I am absolutely hanging on to my sanity this week just for saturday. I'm really hoping that i'll be able to meet up with Grace after she gets back from Bendigo for the weekend. I miss her already. On Sunday however, homework is the only plan for the day, & Chemistry tuition at night. =( Oh well, at least i have tuesday, wednesday, friday night & saturday to look forward to!!!

Blood donation trauma

Well, being the last few days of the holidays, a few of us decided to donate some blood in a clinic in Ringwood. So, we hopped on the bus heading there at about 1pm, & got there around 1.30pm. When we had had some lunch, we went to the clinic that was reasonably close by. So, when we got there, we hit some hurdles. Jing's uncle had signed the consent form, cause her parents aren't around. However, a PARENT is the only one who can really give consent. So, Jing wasn't allowed to donate blood. (sigh...). When we had filled up all the forms & answered the questions, we had to go into a room where someone checked our iron, hemoglobin and blood pressure levels. They did this by getting a sample of our blood by pricking our fingers with what i thought was a needle....it wasn't, cause the mark on my finger is a line!!! Anyways, Lachlan got out first & started giving his blood. His went rather smoothly. Aviel then went ahead, but his hemoglobin levels weren't high enough...so he couldn't donate. (Sheesh!!!) I went next. The nurse started looking for my veins on my left and right arms....SHE COULDN'T FIND ANY!!! So, she called 2 other nurses to check. The veins in my left arm were still M.I.A, but they sort of could feel one on my right arm. So, a fourth nurse came over & gave it a look. She barely felt it, & decided to try anyways, cause i stupidly said that she could. When she put the needle in, she missed by a bit, cause it was so deep. Because of that, she had to adjust the needle a bit when it was IN MY ARM!!! DAMN!!! IT HURT LIKE HECK!!! Just when i thought that it was going better, my ever so smooth-flowing blood decided to stop flowing! I didn't even manage to get the blood all the way into the bag. Man, that was so sad. So, I obviously didn't end up donating any blood. Next to me, Ben and Hannah.S were sitting in their chairs trying to lower their heart rates. Ben felt sick when they started getting his blood, so they had to stop, & fan him, whilst covering him with wet cloths. However, Hannah was successful in donating her blood with no other complications. All in all, it was a rather sad day where only 2 of us got to donate blood out of 6 people who went. SIGH...

My *NEW* girlfriend.

Well, for those who might be so ridiculously confused...this is Grace Tieu. She is very friendly, loves God, her family & people in general!!! Here is some background information for the people whose heads are in the clouds. I met her for the first time at my cousin's 18th party, & discovered that i knew her sister. Surprisingly, we clicked very well. Especially seeing as though we are fellow Malaysians. So,since then, we have seen each other in several places, & have continued to get to know each other better, although its me teasing her most of the time. "hehe..." Oh yeah, she not really my girlfriend...unlike what it says on my facebook status. We figured that we are in a relationship...just not in that way. So, think what you want. We were curious to see what everyone else might say. I wonder what my parents would say if they found out about it...after all, my mother has a facebook account too. How bizzare!!! Anyways, eventhough she isn't really my girlfriend,I have been so blessed just by having her in my life. I thank God for such a caring & loving friend to get me through life. The person who marries her will be a VERY, VERY, VERY blessed guy, because she is one AMAZING GAL!!! To my new girlfriend: I'm so, so, so thankful to God for the opportunity of having your friendship in my life. It means so much more to me than i could ever express!!! I hope that our friendship will stand the test of time & distance. (Yes, we will make our long distance relationship work, despite what other people may say). = D *peace out*
