Twelve Cupcakes Bugis Junction

It's Thursday! I left office at 6pm sharp and went to Bugis.

"I bet you're in Bugis"

Haha that's what I got in the WhatsApp. My hair is a little too long so I wanted to trim it shorter again. They were playing all these awesome acoustic songs in the salon and then Michael Bublé's 'Home' came on. Then I looked out the windows and it's all dark outside already. I suddenly felt so emo! Listening to Home in a foreign city at night alone! Ok technically there're 6 more people in the salon but still...

I tweeted about it and one of my friend replied "Somehow I've associated your emoness to cupcakes"

Guess what! Ironically I just bought Chocolate Salted Caramel from Twelve Cupcakes before I go to the salon. Well, Twelve Cupcakes don't have the BEST cupcakes but they're nearest to my office so I bought it every other day.

Am I really that predictable??!! 

Salted caramel is my favorite flavor. Yummeh!!

First Blood Donation!

It's our company's yearly blood donation drive again! I was afraid of the pain so I haven't donated before. Last year, I was pretty determined. I went down to the cafeteria alone, filled in the forms, handed in to the officer, only to be told I can't participate because I didn't bring my passport (I was only on Employment Pass at that time).

This year, I chickened out. I didn't register.

At around 10am, Kenny, my cube neighbor came and persuaded me to go along as he wanted to donate too. He said it's his first time as well so well, I guess if want to takut, then takut together not that bad.

Turns out it's not painful at all! First they took a drop of my blood from my finger to test whether I have sufficient hemoglobin count in the blood (I think). I was then ushered to the side to wait for my turn. When they inserted the needle, it was a little painful, almost like an insect bite.

I looked at my blood coming out and filling the packet the whole time and Kenny say it's creepy why I kept looking at it. I always think I'll faint looking at blood but turns out I'm completely OK with it!

After the 1st packet is filled, I asked the nurse how many more packets to go lololol. She said "ONE ONLY LAH GIRL HOW MANY YOU WANT TO GIVE"

I nearly passed out the moment they took out the needle. I couldn't hear anything and had a split second vision darkening. I lay down for a good 5 minutes then Im OK again. 

Everyone, say Hi to Kenny! He's my cube neighbor and I'm really glad for his existence. I am mostly polite to other colleagues even though we were all pretty close. But with him, I can talk rubbish and actually be my own crappy self! Actually, to be honest, he's a little like Kevin! He used to have hair then he went into this hair salon because he said there's a cun girl inside. Then the cun girl cut all his hair off lol so he became botak. 

Bruises for the whole week! Ironically, I had serious headache for the rest of the week. I don't know if it has anything to do with the donation at all. Bleurgh...I don't think it's related! I hadn't had headache for almost 2 months already so can't help wondering.

I definitely wouldn't mind donating again the next round!
