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.
