Blood Bank

Brendan is a blood doner for the past 18 years.

He became more active in the last 10 years, contributing at least once in a month.

I started collecting some of the "stressballs" as I found that those with a theme are rather cute.

My favourite is the HariRaya themed ball, cos I find that that is uniquely Asian.

My veins are very much hidden under my fats & flesh, so much so that once I tried donating blood but the nurse gave up. Many times when I needed to draw blood, they couldn't poke into my slippery vein. So you can imagine how I always need to brace myself before any such incidents. There was once a doctor who gave up and then decided to draw blood from the back of my hand. So you can imagine my veins are really quite shy.
