Although the weekend hasn't come to an end yet with a whole sunday ahead of me, it's been quite a weekend already! I'll probably spend today ZzzZzz.

Yesterday morning set off to Clementi in the BLAZING sun to get my right earlobe pierced for the first time (READERS READ: I ALREADY PIERCED MY LEFT EARLOBE LAHH) by Xin Ning. Behold, when I entered the shop, her auntie looked at me and said "So you are the friend ah? God bless you" Err okayy, so maybe her services aren't so respected in these areas after all. After being sat down near the rear end of the shop where hopefully curious onlookers won't be so curious she began.. or tried to begin her work. Basically after a few tries at loading the gun and holding it her dad was really afraid I'd come out with privation of hearing in my right ear and he decided to take matters into his own hands and do it himself. Kinda disappointing because I thought Xin Ning was gonna do it, but oh well.

After that and lunch (oh boy, I realised I haven't eaten in Clementi food centre for AGES), I still haven't got enough of needles and decided to donate blood and Xin Ning wanted to see what it was like. The doctor who gives a brief run-through of the health declaration form with the donor was really uptight because I put a tick at the "Had an ear piercing, tattoo or dunno wad in the past dunno how long". He asked me when I pierced my ears and I casually responded "This one today, the other one 2 weeks ago" and I think that set off all the alarm bells in his head because apparantly he was afraid of infection but after calling his colleague to clarify he gave me the go ahead. After the routine checks, went to the donation room and poor Xin Ning wasn't allowed to watch the whole process but the nurses called her in to watch the part where they insert the needle into my arm. I got a little carried away and pointed to the miniature version of the blood bag where they draw blood for testing from and joked with the nurse that it was cute and asked if I could bring it home afterwards. In doing so I drew Xin Ning to notice the BLOOOOD that was flowing and I think that made her quite sick and luckily she didn't faint. Whole process went super smoothly and the nurse was super friendly and professional so I didn't come out with a bruise which could happen sometimes.

After that went to Chinatown for dessert which was nearby and walked around there abit (seem to visit places I haven't been to in ages!). Went home before heading out again to PS for Xin Ning's super belated birthday meal and a treat I owe Brian. Amanda came along too and after dinner went to watch You Don't Mess With the Zohan. The show was pretty crude and full of sexual innuendos but was hilarious as they touched on all the various stereotypes. Shared a tub of Ben and Jerry's between us which I ended up practically finishing (okay not practically, I'M THE ONE WHO DID IT! I DID IT!! HAPPY?!).

Pretty late after that so staying over at Brian's place. I don't know if it's the lack of blood or the lack of sleep but was super tired (couldn't do insane stuff anymore like chat until "HEY I THINK THE SUN IS COMING UP!") and went to sleep early. Off to church soon!
