Blood Blood Blood

Whenever I feel frustrated and stress, what approach shld i use?

1) Drive to some quiet places like the reservoir parks or places of nature
- Effectiveness : High
- Feasibility : Low (Can only do so during weekends and daytime)
- Conclusion : So i cant apply this method always due to the above constraints

2) Pick up the mic and sing to my heart's content
- Effectiveness : Low
- Feasibility : Moderate (Sometimes bro watching tv + noise pollution)
- Conclusion : Sometimes works, sometimes doesn work, depends on wats troubling me...

3) Seek solace in friends (on msn or phone)
- Effectiveness : Moderate (must choose the right listening ears)
- Feasibility : Moderate ( friends are not always available)
- Conclusion : Works rather effectively, but do not wish to constantly bother my friends. My problems are my problems, why bring my troubles to my friends?

4) Attack my blog
- Effectiveness: High
- Feasibility : High (can blog anywhere, at home, office, outside using palmtop)
- Conclusion : So far, the favourite method for me to vent my frustrations, express my feelings and organise + conclude my thoughts.

Yes, i have just finshed reading and reply my work mails, find out the latest updates and issues which i will have to face tommorow. The feelings sux. But my blog is always here to release my pressure.

As my course ended early today, I decided to make good use of this 'rare chance' to make my way to SGH to donate blood. Why issit a 'rare chance'? During 1 of the ITE courses i attended last yr, i got acquainted to this Snr Staff Nursing Officer of HSA, who told me that they have difficulties coping with the crowds during after office hrs and weekends. They wud most prefered donors to turn up during office hrs. It seems that HSA has made quite a few improvements - Look at the fanciful bandage round my arm!

Midway during my blood donation, a pretty cute gal, probably abt 20 yr old, came in to join us in the donation. She told the nurse that it was her first time donating blood. When she saw the blood flowing out from her arm through the tube, she got very excited and asked the nurse : '" oh... thats my blood? so fast!" I could sense her satisfaction from the grin on her face - sadhu for her!

A chinese guy came in next. He told the nurses that he is from China, and is only in singapore for a short business trip. He has made multiple blood donations back in China, and wud like to contribute his blood over at Singapore here. Sadhu for him too!

Once again, pardon me for being harsh. To those ppl who are medically fit to donate blood but yet refuse to do so be it you r selfish, a chicken or watever crap... you suck! If u kena accident one day and need blood tranfusion, make sure u dun take other ppl's bloods.
