I first heard about it last year. I wanted to do it then but I was unsure. I had just started work and I didn't think it was appropriate. This year, they're doing it again on 1st July. I was very confident at first. I was headstrong about doing it. I didn't give a damn and wanted to just get it done. I even told my sister, my boyfriend and some friends. Some were supportive, others tried to talk me out of it. Sister (Ah Ying) and boyfriend are so supportive and said that they will join me.

But now... I am getting jitter bugs. I feel a bit scared and I have my doubts. What if I break down? What if I can't take the embarrassment and pressure from it all? I suppose it will be bad (why shouldn't it be) but it will all die down. Everything simmers after sometime, doesn't it?

Anyway, there have been a few very supportive people like my sister and boyfriend. Thanks for cheering me on and asking me to do it. Just like how I always feel scared no matter how many times I've donated blood - the wonderful feeling of satisfaction that I get from knowing that I helped someone just supersedes everything else.
