Gotten my first aid certificate

It's such a long and tiring day. I was late for about five minutes for my first aid class, and we literally sat through the whole course - from 9am to 4.30am. By the time it was one in the noon, I'm already exhausted and not knowing what I've memorized or said.

The CPR was killing me. Lol. After ten years, the association changed the compression from 15 to 30, and the dummy wasn't even as good as St John's. Good thing is, there's only two student, a guy from SMU and me.

The supposedly till 6pm course ended before 5pm, and I'm thankful that only 4wrongs for theory test and two or three clichés on dressing and bandaging. They even cover stings and bites and it's quite fulfilling because some of the things I did not learn from SJAB. Oh, and asking people to call for ambulance is a little different too. Thankfully I passed and my cert is in my wallet.

I guess if I'm given more time I'll go for SJAB one. I prefer the dummy there because they can detect of you blow too much air into the lungs or compressed too hard. Right now, I just have to settle for a day through course wait for three years for refresher course; from SJAB of course. :)

Ok, I guess tomorrow will be long meeting for ss camp and mission trip. I need to get the spirit of giving documents there otherwise tomorrow meeting I'm more or less dead.
