Save the blood for the needed!
The red blood cells in your body have a lifespan of about 3 months, after which they will SIAO. Each blood donation can save up to 3 lives. They can be an accident victim, a patient with kidney failure or burns, a newborn baby, someone living with severe anaemia... So instead of SIAO silently, your red blood cells can go and help survive up to 3 lives! In this sense, life can also be shared. The only thing you need to do is to come forward to be a blood donor!!!
Help the less fortunate ones, also help your own body!
Regular blood donation can help prevent the build-up of iron in the body over time, reducing the strain iron places on major organs including the heart. We also believe that Giving blood, putting your kindness to practice, is always good for the heart!
Make a difference without going to great expense!
Many of us like to feel being a part of the community and contribute to charities whenever we can. There is something money cannot buy, yet you can GIVE -- your life-saving blood!
No pain, no worries!
The Singapore Health Science Authorities provides 1 of the best blood collecting services in the world. As a potential donor, your health status will be checked to ensure suitability as a blood donor. Anaesthetic will be applied prior to donation so no pain will be experienced. All equipments are strictly sterilized and disposed after use, so no worries!

Thank you very much.


Best Wishes for the Chinese New Year!

i totally freaked out for 1.5hr..
ever since 9.30am..
popped by..and freaked out more..
wanted to runaway and hide after i completed the survey form..
O__O
which would be totally lousy and horrible..since i haven't even lost a drop of blood yet..
sat on the bench praying that God will be with me..and let me overcome my fear of big needles..
cuz the needles used are bigger than usual..
but the people were super duper nice..
cuz i've got a sticker that says..'Please be gentle to me..it's my first time..'
whahaha..
wanted to grab like 10 stickers to paste all over me...telling them that they have to be TOTALLY gentle to me..
then i was given jabs to numb the area..i counted 3 jabs...my friends only had 1 each..
hmm..
oh..maybe it was because i asked the nurse if it was pain and everything..
i looked traumatized and i was..
and my eyes went super huge when they injected me..
the whole thing was quite fast tho..
10mins?
yeah..
then this malay guy caught me taking pics of my arm..
haha
the nurse was like transferring my blood into test tubes to send to the lab..
and she's so nice and everything..so my random phototaking didn't scare her off..
the malay guy was like.. O__O
and i was so paiseh..
heh
and i've got a hot pink bandage..with purple hearts
:)))
i was traumatized by the bandage..and the malay guy thought i wasn't feeling too well.
so he was like...are you ok?
you sure?
and i was like..yar..i'm ok..why?
and he's like..cuz you look traumatized..
hahaha..
and i'm like...1st time mar..
and the needle is so big!
and he's like...yar lar..the needle is big lar..but not pain wad...
and i'm like..1st time lehhhh!!!
and he's like...at least u guys are like numbed...mine's always not numbed lor..
and i'm like.. O___O so super duper pain!
and he's like...then you'll die in america lar...they don't numb one..they just stick the needle in..
and i'm like.. O____O
yeah.
then i left laughing...
