Finally! I’m home! Haven’t been home since Sunday afternoon. Just had dinner – Mum’s fried rice. Yum! Just realised that I haven’t had home-cooked food, since… oh gosh, Chinese new year. Dang! Well, now that the course break is coming, should be staying home more often to accompany mum and dad, and fat fat eric. *grins* I’m having green bean soup now! Haha!
Oh, and my eyes are not swollen anymore. Just itchy. *scratch scratch* *rub rub* finally people would stop saying that I’ve been peeping at girl’s in the toilet! Haha. anyway, what’s so interesting about a girl in the toilet? Cheap thrill! Bah!
22nd February! World Scout’s day! Hope that all the scouts and guides out there had a fun day celebrating world scout’s day. *cheers*
A teacher
It’s the last week of training. After this Friday, all the soldiers we have been training for 10 weeks would be trained medics. Wow. It’s the 4th batch that I’m training. Calculating, I would have trained around 240 soldiers to be medics so far. Wondering how the previous trainees are doing. Some went Brunei I heard. Some came back for specialist courses. Some haven’t heard of them since they left. Some are slacking away in their units. Whatever it is, it has been an amazing 2 years. So much has happened. So many people have come and left in my life. And I’ve actually have played a little part in so many people’s lives. God’s works are amazing, isn’t it? Our purpose in life had been drafted out even before we were born; only waiting for us to fulfill it.
Got this from Tuesdays with Morrie(again! Ha!)
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops” – Henry Adams
Well, I guess it speaks for itself. And perhaps it does not also necessarily refer to full fledged teacher, like teachers who teach in schools, colleges, institutes. But also to anyone who are willing to impart a certain knowledge or experience to anyone else. Be it our parents telling us about their experience about the world outside, our friends telling us about their relationships, etc. We can always learn so much from others. Maybe that’s why people say we never stop learning. And whatever we learn today, might very well affect us for the rest of out lives.
Fake Casualty
Just yesterday, we were having some outfield activities and I was the ‘safety’ spec for the activity. Just happened that Oliver wanted to test the Tang, who was the medic on cover for the activity. He got help from Shah and Bernard, and a trainee from platoon 2 to simulate a casualty who has got a seizure. And happily, they carried out the ‘test’ without letting me know! When the ‘casualty’ started to ‘shake’ FURIOUSLY all of the sudden, his platoon mates around him got shocked and shouted for ‘MEDIC!’. Tang ran straight to him and I HAPPENED to be in the vicinity and I ran too.
Thought it was a real casualty, told Tang to get all the equipment ready. Bernard was with the ‘casualty’ too. When Tang left to get his equipment, we did a quick assessment of the ‘casualty’. Bernard was smiling all the way and I was wondering, “why the HECK is he smiling?” It didn’t come across me that it was fake at that time. And I went on the unbutton the “casualty’s” shirt. Realised that I was a bit too rough, and a button actually came off. Oops. Only until then Bernard told me, “eh bro! relac relac.. testing tang only…”
Then I was like, KAO! Thanks ah. But, played along. Went to help Tang with his equipment. Had to remind him that he forgot his Oxygen Resuscitator. But overall, he did a really good job in assessing the ‘casualty’. Oliver stopped everything when Tang wanted to insert the Airway Guerdal into “casualty’s” mouth. Well done man!
(The airway guerdal is a hollow, approx. 10-12cm, plastic, ‘J’ shaped tube which comes with a biting piece. Basically inserted into an unconscious patient’s mouth to prevent his tongue from falling back and cover his airway.)
Mambo night? Bah..
Turned down the trainee’s invitation to go Zouk tonight. Heard it’s Mambo night. Ladies night is it? Well, I don’t know. Haha. Told them I would consider going, but I’m still here! Haha. So I guess they would have got the message. =p
NO ONE in the platoon believed me when I told them that I’ve NEVER been to a club before. Is it that amazing? Isn’t it good? Haha. To have a clean record - of not stepping into a club, where booze, liquor, cigarettes and deafening music is everywhere. Maybe even drugs, dirty dancing, hanky panky, or even sleazy activities going on at some corner. But definitely I’ll be going to one, soon I guess. Haha. For the fun of it. Who knows, I might like it at the end of the day. But by the looks of it, nah! Unless they’ve got no-smoking clubs, guess I’ll just stick to coffee-beans and NYDCs. *grins*
I just find it amusing that people are amazed that someone like me, who’s turning 21 in a month’s time, has NEVER been to a club. And what’s more, I don’t look like I’m 21. Look a few years older me age. Haha. oh speaking of 21, thanks people. Thank you, my buddies and sisters. Heard from Ber that you guys actually wanted to buy me a ticket to California. Sighs. So touched!! Really, thanks a lot. Well, maybe now you guys can consider getting me a Suzuki Swift, or Mitsubitshi Colt, or if you guys are feeling a bit rich, maybe a Volkswagan Mini? Hahah! Deeply appreciate it! Hehe. But don’t think would be throwing a party though. Maybe a simple dinner somewhere? Yups. *grins* do consider my offer for my presents! Haha. (and don’t try to be cheeky and get me those little miniature model cars! =p)
Gym
Been gyming quite a bit with Neo lately. Don’t know what’s coming over us, to hit the gym so often these few weeks. Guess, maybe because it’s been really mentally tiring these few weeks, and we’re just too tired to jog or skip. So ended up going to the gym. But my dreaded spare tyre doesn’t seem to go away regardless what I do. Dang!
Neo had a little device which could calculate the body’s fat percentage. It was my 1st time doing it. Mine registered 17.4 and Neo’s 18something. It’s within the healthy range, but apparently he is aiming to get it below 10. haha. crazy fella. Hoping to rub off some of his determination. Just one day, my dreaded tyre would go away. *cheers!!*
Ophir/WTC
It’s finally confirmed that we’re going to climb Mount Ophir. That means I’ve got to make a trip down to SIR to extend my passport! So exciting! Can’t wait to get to the top of the mountain/hill with the guys. The view must really be exhilarating. Will be sure to take tonnes of pictures! MUahahaha.
And it’s confirmed that I’ll be the Chief of Whitley Training/Troop Camp this year. Will start work after Ophir I guess. The camp would be in June. And it’s already February. Have got lots of work to do. Hope that everything would be fine. Will be needing support from MANY many people. Pray pray. =X
Blood Donation
AGAIN! Haha. Anyone wants to donate blood? Hehe. SMS or leave a msg! =)
Oh, and my eyes are not swollen anymore. Just itchy. *scratch scratch* *rub rub* finally people would stop saying that I’ve been peeping at girl’s in the toilet! Haha. anyway, what’s so interesting about a girl in the toilet? Cheap thrill! Bah!
