Yamaha FZ150i

no modification's done yet

Here you go, behold my Yamaha FZ 150i. After quite some time, mulling which bike should I get, finally I made up my mind. I was so close, so damn close about to take Kawasaki Ninja 250 SE, but then I changed my mind due to some reasons. At the end, I booked the FZ on Aug 10 and the day after that, it's already available for me to pick it up.

Few days before booking, my friend and I went to few motorcycle/bike showrooms, surveying the best price and package available in town.  We found out that, the price is pretty much similar at this area, only the package is bit different. Some shops offer different type of free items, disc lock, fork lock, rain coat, helmet etc.

Anyway, below are the specs about the bike. Honestly, looking at the details, it's worth buying the machine with the price tag. Furthermore, it has fuel injection system which gives better fuel efficiency. Based on my experience, a full tank, you can go roughly about 400 km. Amazing, isn't it? Couldn't ask for more.

Blood Donation

My company's Loss Prevention Team (LPT) organized a blood donation campaign recently at the KL HQ.It's an annual program for the company and it has been done since 3 years ago.This year, the target of the campaign was 120 bags of blood.

I haven't done blood donation before this and I was tempted and keen to try and feel how it's like.So, I registered for the campaign and fortunately, I passed all the requirements as listed below.

My first bag of blood that I donated, more is yet to come

1. Must be healthy and feel healthy during the donation day.
2. Age from 18 to 60 years old.
3.  Must have a minimum weight of 45 kg (99.2 pounds).
4. Slept for more than 5 hours the previous day before blood donation day.
5. Not taking or under any long term medication/pills.
6. Did not take any medication e.g.: Antibiotics (for the last 7 days), Panadol / Paracetamol (for the last 1 day) before donation.
7. Must not come with empty stomach. No fasting required.
8. Not involved in any of the activities below:

a)      Homosexual

b)      Bisexual

c)       Having random sex partners and frequent sex workers

d)      Illegal intravenous drug user

e)      Have a partner of the group above.

9. Last blood donation must be more than 3 months ago.
10. For female donors;

*not pregnant

*not menstruating

*not breastfeeding a new born child    

11.   Do not donate if you have lived in Europe from 1980 till now for a period of more than 6 months or longer.

It's a good experience for me and it's not hurt at all although the needle used to suck the blood was pretty big. Initially, I admitted that I was bit scared when I saw the needle but i guess that's normal. No need to worry since the nurses know very well how to do their jobs in the safest way.

I was thinking, maybe after 3 months, I would like to donate again. It's a noble job and it can help a lot of people who are in need. Feel glad i'm able to help someone although I wouldn't know who are they.
