Yesterday was Nee Soon South CC's Annual Blood Donation Drive. Went with Ming Yun, who is always as enthu as me when it comes to donating blood. Haha! =D As I was at service in the morning so arranged to meet her at around 11.30am. Was quite shocked that there was so many people. Not because majority of them were Indians (cos I kind of expected it as I went for last year's one too. It was co-organised by Indian radio station Oli 96.8FM), there was really lots of people. So took up quite a long time to complete all the procedures. Finally it was our turn. =D
I'm pumping out my blood. Haha! =D
(MY's bloody photo is on her blog)
Quite like MY's yellow smiley bandage =D
The nurse asked me if I wanted the Pink or Green bandage,
Actually when it was nearing my turn to donate blood, I was quite scared. I was afraid that the nurse wasn't skilled enough to inject the needle into my arm painlessly. While waiting for our turn, we were observing how the nurses were serving the other donors and thought some weren't very caring. Apparently, we misjudged them. The large number of people awaiting to donate blood kept the nurses very busy, but they still try their best to be patient towards everyone. And the nurses who attended to me injected and ejected the needle on my arm without me feeling any pain. Believed that the nurses were facing a lot of pressure from the numerous donors waiting for their turn. Salute the nurses there for being able to maintain their calmness.
After that, we had some refreshment. The refreshment was to my liking. Haha! =D They had packet milo and apple juice, oreo and the DEWBERRY biscuits!!! Just simply love the DEWBERRY biscuits, yum yum! =D And we got a goodie bag, in which there's a pen, Indian calendar and a car sticker. (Only the goodie bag itself and the pen are useful. Hehe. =D)
Thanks Ming for accompanying me to the Blood Donation. Hope you had fun in one way or another. *Wink* =D

The nurse asked me if I wanted the Pink or Green bandage,but I requested for my favourite colour, Purple. =D
Unwrapped the bandage. My small needle wound revealed.
Very puny, right? =D
