After so long and being rejected twice consecutively before, I finally managed to donate blood successfully!!! The first time is because of insufficient iron in my blood, and the second time is because of the stupid injection I took at UHWC. I was so so so scared that I cannot donate again after making my way down to BloodBank @ HSA. I heaved a sigh of relief when I passed the interview for my questionnaire. But I almost died when the person checked my iron level as my blood droplet did not sink to the bottom of the copper sulphate solution. I waited anxiously as the nurse used another device to check if my blood iron level is sufficient for donation. And eventually I was given the green light!!! I was praying super hard lah. :p

The pain was bearable as I have remembered from previous 3 times. But seeing my blood flowing and filling the 450cc packet filled my heart with a great sense of achievement and goodness. I cannot explain why I am so engrossed with blood donation but I just feel that to be able to help another living person in this manner is a blessing which should be treasured. :)
