[EN] Blood Bank @Dhoby Ghaut 新加坡血库之多美歌

Last weekend I was rejected to do blood donation during the Singapore Red Cross roadshow at Khor Meng San as I filled the declaration form that I took Chinese herb. This week I am well prepared that stop take in Chinese herb few days before blood donation, luckily enough not affecting much my work performance.

Singapore Red Cross Blood Donation drive not only have the road shows , go around the island , but they do have 4 permanent blood donation stations namely Bloodbank@HSA, Bloodbank@Dhoby Ghaut, Bloodbank@Woodlands & Bloodbank@Westgate Tower. And this time @auleo went to the one nearer to me - @Bloodbank@Dhoby Ghaut Xchange.

First time ever @auleo donate blood at the blood bank, and I thought the location was at the Red Cross building not far away from the MRT station, Only when stop aside to double check only knew that I went to wrong place and U-turn back to MRT station.

It looks much better to do blood donation at the blood bank as the facilities here looks more complete, the donation seats also much confortable- Should consider seriously the next time to donate here in blood bank instead, as more convenient to travel back home with MRT also.

The food at snack station looks the same type same supplier.

When rest after the blood donation, @auleo found aside from myself, there are 3 more donors are also Malaysians knowing from their accent, 1 Philippine guy and 3 more are the locals. According to the statistics from Singapore Red Cross, there were only 2% adults donate blood in Singapore, If follow the sampling rate as observed today, then half the donors are non-citizens.

Anyway, today is a beautiful Sunday, as I feel grateful as able to contribute little to the society.

P/S:

Received a letter from Singapore Red Cross, that end of June, there will be a World Blood Donor Days held at Marina Garden By the Bay. And we could purchase the 2 garden entrance tickets with a discounted price (S$6, limit to 2 tickets per letter though), as a token of appreciation to the Blood Donors
