my middle finger
May 14, 2012This was us at our HIV test just now.
HIV test is a requirement to do before we get married. I wouldn’t voluntarily jump up and down to take it.
I was so so scared. I absolutely hate needles and the last jab I had on my bum, I sat on one buttcheek for 2 weeks because I was too scared to put pressure on the violated side.
If anyone told my parents I was a drug addict, they would laugh their heads off. “That little chicken of ours, really?”
I was like a baby at the clinic. We had to wait a while and that gave me time to worry and stress about what’s to come. Dean’s not scared of needles so he was laughing at me the whole time. I honestly thought about how bad it would be if I didn’t get married haha. Simply because I was too scared to get pricked by a needle.
I hate seeing people in pain and I hate feeling pain. Basically, I hate pain la ok.
Dean was filling in some forms while I sat there all pale.
He left me for a while, and said, “Hold on, let me get a knife.”
I did not find it funny AT ALL.
So when it was our turn to go in, I was actually shaking. Dean told me to go first because he knew I would get even more scared if I saw him doing it. The process was really fast, and it was literally a second. But the pain came after a couple of minutes. It was like a stinging pain and even the other fingers felt sorry for my middle finger. Yes, it’s the finger with most dosa giving people impolite signs, but still… that was years ago!
The whole time in the car, my finger got front row seats to the car aircond.
So Alhamdulillah, I’m still alive. For any couples out there about to do HIV test, don’t worry, if this chicken is still alive, you’ll be too.
Dean and I are done with the marriage requirements; course done, HIV test done. One step closer, guys!
“Can you imagine me in labour???”
Dean laughed nervously. “Yeah, too bad I have work that day.”
i hate needles too! when i was under fertility treatment, i had to inject myself…seriously like a junkie hahaha! luckily, my hubby helped me 🙂
i hate needles too.u imagine,almost everytime i go to my pregnancy medical check up,they will take my blood at least for one tube!scary ok!da lah diorg susah nk cr i punye urat.so they will try on my left hand,then right,then left again..sometimes they will try at other places.i was shaking n even crying.hahaha…it gets even worst when ure in labour…u scared to death now aren’t u?hahahahahaha
HIV test is nothing compared to the pregnancy check ups!!
More needles awaits after this :p
You are so funny and cute Vivy!! And Dean is not being helpful at all!! Hahaha you guys are so cute and really meant to be for each other. Amin.
Sgt x tahan tgk ur expression.. 😀 vivy the chicken.. Haha.. ;p
I hate needles as well. And ironically my husband is a doctor haha.
Dear Vivy,
Dont worry, i hate needle too.. worst than u i guess..when come my turn i will pass out..fainted.. haha..but when i was in the delivery room, dengan izin allah i was the strongest person.. no sound or screaming.. it was a blessing from god…kekuatan seorang ibu and i just want to get my baby out.. dont worry..haha..but still i hate needles and dentish..
once upon a time, needles? whatever ..
after giving birth, needles? ok bye doctor!! maybe next time!
thats how bad the experience of giving birth was for me 🙂
scared? dont be 🙂 once u look at that little kid of urs..semua pun ok 🙂
ohh..must be excited+nervous rite? planning for your wedding experience is the best moment!
vivy so cute! i dont really like needles but i just love giving blood to my friends doing their final year project. 🙂
Aiyoo..Vivy,you’re so funny la..Hahaha..
i thought i’m the only one who’s having issues with needles, we can never get along.. they’re too painful too look at and the fact that we have to endure the pain that they might cause.. urrggghhh… i had exactly the same adrenaline rush when i went for HIV test and my monthly pregnancy test where blood test is a must, especially… ok, I better not scare u.. let’s take things one at a time k..
anyway, can’t believe that u’re getting married and that’s all matters.. awww.. such a fairy tale..

hey vivy, imagine u’re having a ceasarian..(ok not helpful). take it from me, i was afraid of pains too, but what happen during my labour? i had a fit and the doc had to put me to sleep and laser me (ceasarian surgery) to save my baby. 2 days after that, i woke up with a slight cramp around the abdomen.
Dont worry so much, with dean around, im sure u’ll be fine.
Awhhh to look at this post after you’ve given birth…. To two….
