I went to have my blood sucked out yesterday to check for dengue. In exchange, I received 10 dollar ntuc voucher. Is it worth it? haha. The experience was not pleasant. Furthermore, our supplementary biology teacher had told my class about all the gruesome sucking blood experience he encountered before I went to suck out my blood. Thus, I went there with apprehension. My mum insisted I should go because dengue is now prevalent in Singapore. However, I think the real pull factor is the 10 dollar voucher we would receive for each of us.
The pain was immense! The needle piercing into my skin is like ten thousand knifes stabbing in. As my blood was being sucked out, I felt as if there was a giant sucking hole in my vein, sucking everything out. When the dunno-who pulled the needle out, I thought that my vein was also pulled out along with it. Then, the dunno-who put a cotton on my wound and pasted the plaster over it, leaving me with the horrible sensation that rocks and boulders were being placed there.
There, my encounter of sucking blood. haha. I did exaggerate but it was rather painful. It was worth it, though, I got my 10 dollar voucher. :)
