yesterday was a really interesting day

in the afternoon i went to ps to participate in the blood donation drive
some people think blood donation is a painful and scary business
but it isnt really?

the worse pain comes from the needle prick they do to ur finger to test the iron content of ur blood

the only other thing that hurts is when they administer the localised anesthetic, which hurts abit cause they inject liquid under your skin
that being said, the part that hurts isnt the needle going in, cos they even give u some anesthesia to ur skin b4 that

all in all, giving blood is one thing u can do to help others in need??
i mean, u dont even need to put in much effort
and u get free milo, raisins and biscuits afterwards

went to watch Much Ado About Nothing after that with Joel Lian
which was kinda weird at first
bcos most of the audience that went comprised of couples,
which made us feel kinda odd, as two guys going together

it was an enjoyable experience, watching shakespear the way shakespear was intended
out in the open, in a more rowdy setting
adrain pang was good
but i felt the rest of the cast couldnt or didnt match his energy
the comedic parts were engaging
but sadly the melodramatic parts and romantic parts werent very believable
the cast chemistry also was quite lacking

we did the italian picnic thing
which involved buying bread, cured meats, and cheese
it was alot better than our attempt in rome in which, the bread was too much, and too hard
the wine was too sour
and well, too much of everything
this time by comparison, in the immortal words of borat
a great success
