The blood test that you referred to (the staple part) is to check the applicant’s blood haemoglobin level. Basically your middle finger will be pierced & the blood sample taken using a little glass cylinder-thingy (i don’t know what it’s called!) & then the blood sample was dropped in a little container filled with some liquid (bleah, i also don’t know what it is).

The thing is if the blood sample falls all the way to the bottom, you’ll be considered fit to donate & then you’ll go to the next stage where they’ll take 450cc of you blood.

Don’t worry that you didn’t have a chance to donate. =) As per today, the stock is quite at ‘comfortable’ level for all the 4 blood types. (http://www.donorweb.org/bloodstocks/)
