An Exam and a Daring Venture

To start of yesterday, (Yes, I know I'm slow) it began with the SJAM exam.

To cut to the point, we were tested on 4 things. I was partnered with Elson.

First up, Elson and I went for theory first. It fairly easy (And at least 500 times far easier than the pre-theory exam paper we were given before that).

After that, we waited until there was space to take the Bandaging/Fractures exam.
The bandaging exam was relaxed and by some coincidence, the examiner asked us to do a scalp bandage. Why is it odd? We practiced it a few minutes ago before the exam. Thank goodness. Then came fractures, which was really funny. We both had to take off our shoes and the casualty was to be treated on top of the table. While tying the fractures, I almost slipped and whacked into the Madam. Lesson learnt, take your time. (Oh, and both of us nearly forgot to put on our shoes back. The Madam pointed that out)

Then we waited and waited and waited until there was an opening for Transportation.
We messed that up. I expected Transportation to be easier than the other exams, and for fact, it was. Just one problem:

*Elson and Aaron come walking into transportation room, looking very tense*

Madam: Relax, relax.... Ok, name me 3 types of transportation each.

Aaron: Uhhh, cradle, drag method and human crutch.
Elson: 4 hand sit, 3 hand sit, 2 hand sit.

Madam: Ok... (Laughs slightly) Ok, do cradle method.

Elson: *To Aaron* Who goes first?
Aaron: Scissors paper stone?
Elson: I'll go first..

Madam: Just show me the posture.

Aaron lies down on the floor and acts dead. Elson shows the Madam the posture.

Madam: What about the hand?
Elson: Huh?
Elson attempts to position himself properly (He had got like half of it correct.) Madam tells him where to put his hand.

Madam: Ok, try to carry him.

Elson nearly strangles me to death, in which the Madam asks him to stop. Then she asked me to demonstrate the drag method. That went fine, thankfully. Poor Elson. He got 2/3 of it correct.

After that, we waited an insanely long time for our CPR exam. For CPR, there was a dummy on the floor, as usual. After hearing gruesome stories about how people forgot what to do and how the Madam's there were super strict, I went first.

Everything went smoothly, except that I nearly forgot to call an ambulance and my compressions were slightly wrong, so the Madam had to correct me.

After that, I cabut-ed and went to get something to eat. I stayed back a bit to watch Elson. After both of us had done all our exams, we lepak-ed a bit, then discovered that Shiva and Naeem needed some help with CPR (Espacially Naeem. At least he studied for 5 minutes the day before). Shiva could do it very well, but Naeem seriously needed some help. If you don't count the five minutes he studied the day before, he didn't study.

After running through everything, Naeem, and another boy named Naeem (We shall call him Naeem2) decided to put Naeem through a real situation.

Aaron: Ok Naeem, imagine the dummy is on the floor. What do you do first?
Naeem: Uhhhhhhhh, Good morning Madam.
Naeem2: *To me* Shouldn't it be Sir?
Aaron: The examiners are both Madams, so no need to confuse him.
Naeem2: Ok.

Aaron: Let's try that again. Ok, start.

Naeem: Uhh, good morning Madam.

Aaron: Good morning. Ok, then what?

Naeem: Uhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhh,uhhhhhhh,uhhhhhh.

Aaron & Naeem2: Check for danger......

This went on for a long time. Take my words, Naeem was the last to go in. The furthest Naeem ever went was to Breathing, in which he forgot what to do (And before that, there was a lot of uhhhhs and scratching heads). Somehow, I wished he would have put in a little more effort. A few others joined in to help. Finally, Naeem was forced to go in.

Sadly, the examiner was now a Sir. Needless to say, the Sir was not happy with being called a Madam. Naeem nearly forgot everything. The Sir asked him to go out and study. By then, Elson, Shiva and I had to go already. We said our Good lucks's and God Bless's and went off. After finding out my mum hadn't come back, I ran back to check on Naeem (Aaron Lim and Naeem2 were teaching him), then ran back to find my mum just came. Hopefully he passed.......

On a second part, while you guys were at the Taman Seraya Division anniversary, I was at Josef's house.

YES. Josef's house. Fyi, my family and his family are quite close.

While you guys were wearing formal wear and shirts and whatnot, I came in my shorts and camp shirt 2009. It was a fun time, and after dinner, Josef, my sister, his sisters and I decided to play Uno. He delt the cards, and for a clear reason, he ended up with 2 +4's and 3-4 +2's. Oh well. While there, we told everyone about the MM discussion (see end post). I found out how the CPR incident Josef caused happened too.

Josef to examiner: What the hell do you want me to do?!?!?!

That's it I guess. Josef is actually a nice guy you know, at least when not near authority.

The MM Discussion

One day during MM, Elson, Brian and I were discussing religion. Brian is telling on how science prove things etc etc(Or something like that). While saying that, Josef pops in (His reccess).

Josef: So you're saying we should pray to our Science textbooks?

The second part.

Brian: You, there's one thing I don't like, and that's people who don't believe in God at all. I have this friend who is an atheist, and I asked him what will happen to him when he dies. He said "I'll become fertilizer for trees". So I said, while I'm in heaven, you'll be a tree. Then one day this guy is going to come to you with an axe, cut you down, drag you accross the mud, bring you to a printing factory and print the Holy Bible on you!

Far funnier when said in person.

Weeeeeeeeeeee

Today was an awesome day.

It began on a few bad notes, but it turned out nice. (Warning, superlong winded post coming up)

Well, today I joined CF for my first time. It was great, but then the bell rang and I had to rush out quickly to lapor diri to Laveenyah (The joys of prefectship...). Half way sprinting with my bag slung over on one shoulder, my bottle flew out of my bag and exploded into a million pieces (Exaggeration, but the cover broke and all the water went down the drain. Literally) Then I found out that no one else had Lapor-ed yet, because Laveenyah didn't come yet.

Moral of story: Trust God to get you there on time.

Then, as usual, I went back to class.

Adam: Ayoh!!!!!! I can't believe I forgot to bring extra water!

For the past few days, Adam (Harith) was planning to drench me in water, Fyi.

So after the usual lessons, came reccess. After the usual reccess, came more usual lessons. For the last two periods, there was a Gotong Royong.
And so everyone was forced to clean the school. I voluntereed to sweep.

Lauren: Aaron, can I sweep? It's my duty anyway.
Aaron: It's ok, I'm a professional sweeper! I spent 3 years of my life in university learning how to sweep!

After which, Elson and I swept the form 1 corridor (the bottom, at least). It looked quite weird, seeing two people with brooms walking around sweeping the floor methodically.

Afterwards, we went to Pn Harbans and declared:

"Pn Harbans! We've swept the floor so much I could lick it!"

In which she laught a bit and asked us to pick up leaves.

After that, Elson and I went to refill water at the water refiller. After drinking to our hearts content, and sharing some with Naeem, we went back to class. Now, it so happened that I had a half bottle left of water. Problem, I was stuffed and my bottle had no cover (for the fact that it exploded into a million pieces). There wasn't any teacher in class and people were ready to go home. Back at class, I was about to throw the water in the drain when....

Adam: Aaron! You refill for me!
Me: Ha?
Adam: *Snatches bottle from hand*

Elson grips me and prevents me from escaping.

Adam: Everyone it's Aaron's birthday!!! Get your water!!!
Me: Uh-oh... Lemme free!!!! Lemme free!!!

Adam and Sue come up to me and splash me with water outside the class. Then they wished me happy birthday.
And for some weird reason, Joseph comes along. Needless to say, I was drenched. Then people started wishing my happy birthday and threw all their salive-infested-I-couldn't-finish-it-so-I-Thought-You-Would-Like-it water on me.
Overall, and exciting day.
When my mum came to pick me up, there was a towel and a plastic sheet on the chair. She knew.

Afterwards, there was the typical family celebrations and tons of relatives I didn't expect called to wish me. (In fact, I got call halfway through this post)

Thanks guys.

Side note: Hope you BSMM-ers have a great time!

I Just Made A New Record!!!!

Guess what????
I found out that the '6' I got for my Seni work is actually a '9'!!!!
(This is out of ten, so this is really really amazing news)
This has to be a first.
I mean, when have I not gotten a C for seni?
Rephrase that, I once got a B.
I mean, when have I not gotten a C for seni without making the teacher feel pity for me 'cause I have no artistic talent?
