So today was...CPR.
Yes, CPR as in that CPR, the put-your-lips-to-the-casualty's-lips-and-breathe-for-them one. Although I find it mildly strange why they call it a CPR course. It's actually a FIRST-AID course, but that's a minor detail anyway. And how it was: boring and interesting at the same time. : <
So, first off: the 'choking' part. Denise was my partner, and let's say it went interestingly. So basically we were supposed to feign choking, and I ended up getting tickled so much I started laughing instead of choking. And when Denise was the casualty, let's say I poked too much. o.o Fortunately, I passed that segment in the practical quite okay-ishly.
And then there was the CPR part, but I don't want to bore everyone who already knows how to do it, so basically it was just pushing on the chest, mouth-to-mouth and such. During the practical, we had to push 150 times in total. OUCH. And for lunch, I queued for 20 minutes just to get nasi lemak(which I *cough*donotreallylike*cough* but had no choice because it was the only food available) and the band people got free food with FRIED CHICKEN! :o Ah well, life is unfair isn't it. And so, that was supposed to be enough to sustain me for four hours. Trust me, it wasn't.
I shall skip to the last test to save time(it's already 12. o.o)! So the last test was about wrapping slings and bandages and all. Gah. Although I got a 19 on the previous one, I'm horrible at doing such stuff so I freaked out totally and the instructor kept prodding me. Sigh. Denise(who was my partner again :D) was much better, seriously. I think I took near 1/2 an hour but when she said 'you've also passed', I was thinking: "ZOMG. Really?" So thank God we got a nice examiner. And even more, the day finally ended! Though it's useful, I can't exactly say I'll want to go through this again. NO WAY. o.o
So now I'm probably going to hit the sack. And then wake up at 6 tomorrow and sit a boat for 2 hours to go to some kelong in Bintan. My parents' idea of fun. Hehe. But I don't really mind, except that my chinese worksheet's really 75% done and I have no clue how to do the rest AND I'll only be back on Monday, 12am. Sigh. So I'll probably bring my homework there or something, no choice.
Ending off with something I think is cute. :D
