1st Blood Donation in Singapore

It's been 3 years 3 months since MooMoo came to work in Singapore and today is the 1st time she donated blood here. It's not MooMoo's 1st blood donation but she can't recall when was her last blood donation in Malaysia.

MooMoo tried to go for blood donation a few times in Singapore but got rejected due to low iron level and low blood pressure. It's pretty strict here that if you have low iron level, you are strictly not allowed to donate any blood.

MooMoo still remember when she was in Malaysia, they took 3/4 pack of her blood though she have low blood pressure. Hahaha... And she had bad experiences back then... where they keep poking both her hands with needles many times coz they could not find the vein.

Today things went pretty smoothly. MooMoo's iron level hit the borderline of 12.5, which made her eligible to donate. ^=^ After trying for many times, at last she is allowed to donate her blood. Hope this will not be the last time. Just gotta keep my iron level stable.

They were very professional over here. No pain at all... haha... coz they had injected local anaesthetic. And they plaster me with colourful plaster, which you can choose your own colour. Ms. Mo loves it so much coz there's heart shapes all over it... but it didn't tempt her enough to donate some of her blood.
