On 24 September 2011 ...

It is my turn to get the H1N1 jab.

I dreaded it.

Team members who are living in Kuala Lumpur are the last ones to get the jab, and we too dreaded it. Simply because some of us are afraid of needles. And some of them confessed were guys!

And not after we heard from my roomie that she got tooth ache as side effect!

Anyways...

We were the only clients in the clinic, and we were curious about the supplements on her counter. One of us seriously joked that we should tried to get the doctor to sponsor us supplements.

And ... shortly after that, it was my turn.

I sighed and said my prayer before the needle bit me!

Spinoff: He who joked of getting sponsorship did ask the doctor but she showed no interest.

Anyways, I managed to get 60 bottles of Vitamin C from my family doctor. :-)

Phew~ I was grateful that the doctor didn't hurt my arm for I have developed trauma with needles. It seems I have a very 'fair' arm; nurses always have a hard time in finding my vein to draw blood. So in 2009, a nurse who could not find it POKED the syringe by half into my arm, and swinging it from right to left just to detect the vein! Incredible experience right?!

I feel your pain. I hate getting shots.

I hate needles and some nurses are just plain stupid. I have no idea how they manage to be one in the first place.

I have had nurses do that to me many times, twice causing me to pass out (mostly because I'm a weenie lol). My son has already had it done once too :-(. They do that with rolling veins or some nonsense.

The H1N1 is the swine flu right? Be glad you got the vaccine, my entire family got it when the inital "outbreak" happened in America (and our baby was 5 months old) and it was the worst week of my life. Even my husband was a big baby about it, we just lied on the couch crying and thinking we were going to die lol. ..... But I feel the needle thing because I haven't had one flu shot since then either. Yay for being a weenie!
