%I'M ME. LIVE WITH IT.

Competition,

Saturday, April 19, 2008

I suppose i cant do anything about anything now.

We did our best, we're still a team. Once a team forever a team.

I didn't screw up anything, nor did i get nervous-till-blank at any point in time.

and i'm sure everyone tried their equal best,

well, here's the outcome.

We achieved something historical, footdrill marks of 49/50, yeah, we beat everyone there.

or maybe i shall list things out nicely,

My analysis,

we were on par for everything else except footdrill and short case if you can see. Why did we lose out so much in short case?

WHY WHY WHY.

WHY IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?

HISTORY IS THE PAST IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPENING IN THE PRESENT

IT IS IN THE PAST

IT HAS PAST.

..and it has come again.

wow, great, hi there MRS ROSLENE, ROSLYN or WHATEVER THE SPELLING OF YOUR NAME IS.

how nice of you to drop by to help out in FAC this year, glad you could make it.

oh, how lovely, you found yourself a friend to judge us along with, that'd be great!

..at least this time you might be able to do things right with him helping!

Apparently not.

Two casualties, one unconscious, one conscious .

"
number 3 and 4, go to the casualty over there, number 2 follow me, move!
Sir, do i see beeding from the head area Sir?
Number 2, use triangular bandage to stop the bleeding.
Sir, i've asked my number two to stop the bleeding so as to not let the casualty develop hypovoelamic shock.
Sir, may i know the pulse rate?
Sir, may i know the breathing rate?
NUMBER 2! COMMENCE CPR
"

According to number 2, this is what happened..

"

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5! ..and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 10! ..
Okay, let's say you've done 1,2,3,4,5 ..40 cycles still no pulse no breathing what would you do?
Sir, since the casualty can not be resuscitated, i shall not waste my manpower and proceed on with helping my other team members, however, i will stay next to the casualty to look after the casualty Sir!
Well, that sounds logical,
..
..
Wrong! Even Doctors do CPR for over 30minutes before finally making the decision whether to stop or not! You're just a first aider medic how can you just stop like that?
*discuss discuss*
*Laughs Laughs*
...
...
...

"

Great, two judges doing two different things. Male judge goes: Oh let's say you do like until 40 cycles, and still no pules no breathing, what should you do..??

Once number 2 stopped doing CPR,

Female judge goes: What? How can you just decide to stop doing CPR like that? Wrong wrong wrong!

Grr, yes if you think i'm being a sore loser I AM FEELING RATHER SORE NOW.

at the waiting room, i told myself if we didn't win, i would feel really angry.

when i heard the results, i was thinking, where did i go wrong, well i guess we didn't do well in a few aspects.

when i saw the results, i was WHAT?! THAT WOMAN AGAIN? OMG!

why do i say history is repeating itself?

Well, exactly 1 year ago, on the very same day, i was in AC03. With Ismail being our team leader and i was assistant leader. We got 2nd place for that competition. We lost to Hwa Chong by like 7 points? ..or somewhere there. WHY? because of that woman again. I'm not really clear what happened. For all the other categories, our team managed to clinch the top or the same for almost everything. However, for the First Aid LONG Case which that old woman was judging last year, she gave us around 11 marks less than hwa chong for i forgot-what-stupid-reason.

i would've been fine if we lost because of something fair, but this is just not it.

I went out to the carpark area, i punched the grass as i sat on the pavement, i screamed my lungs out.

It's the anger that's consuming me.

We've trained for coming 3years already, since sec 1 and this is the second time we entered competition teams.

we're of lower rank, lower positioning, lower experience compared to the NHSS AA team,

yet,

we proved that we could do it as good as them.

i'm not going to bother about the rumour about this cheating and stuff,

Integrity is key.

It's about facing YOURSELF.

Well then, i shan't say anything more.

Zenson was pretty funny after dinner, he chased kahlun around the whole MRT station just to pass him the first aid box.

Eventually, Zenson placed the box in the MRT train and walked out.

By then he was sweating like crazy.

rofl.

..anyhow, kl's house is really nice and cosy.

His air-conditioning is just the right temperature,

though it suddenly got really cold at around 5am.

i couldn't sleep then, i tried curling up, moving to the side but it was no use,

the aircon seemed to be targeting it's winds me.

so eventually, i figured out. i placed the pillow against the bookshelf,

lifted the mattress and used the mattress as a blanket.

the floor was really warm and nice, and i managed to sleep till 7 where i woke up automatically,

than i dozed off again and kahlun woke up at 730.

Other teams were already gathered in school at 700.

so went for a shower, drank milo ate breakfast and changed to half-u.

took 165 to school, CL bernie and CL YongQing giving me tips and advise

KL continuously attempting to put more "pressure" on me.

took bus there, than CL Bernie show us secret, ..pretty cool.

went to school, took and placed on the sergeant rank along with isaac.

AA Team, the elite team of Sergeants.

Took comp team picture,

went up bus, with half my butt on the seat in an uncomfortable position we took the 30-45 minuted ride.

Fall in, procedure, everything started.

Confident throughout, frustrated at times, and at one point really immersed.

Team, we did it. I'm proud, are you?

Sir Wenbin was right.

If you do your best, you shouldn't regret about your performance.

I don't regret, i think we did our best and we displayed teamwork.

Yet, i cant stand that anger that lies within.

Not with my team members, not with the NEWater or the dirty toilets..

i honestly dislike you Rosline

That's all for 19th April 08.

I apologise, Seniors and Trainers, ..for letting you down.

Friday was friday.

I have decided and siewbeng i hope you will be my backing cause i know things will happen in the future.

Politics is politics and there's bound to be backside stabbing with a gun right at the temple of the head, that can finish one off.

I just hope it works out.

..I think i did rather well for my chinese.

i managed to pass, 27/50 ( though i'm not proud of it)

and i managed to actually TALK and CONVERSE during Chinese Oral.

Adrian was damn funny, he said he didn't talk to the teacher for one minute,

the bounty hunter teacher kept looking at him, than he just look at her, and look at parade square. rofl.

Oh and i scored full marks for my history test,

something worth being proud of.

Well, that's all.

For what was worth,
it was worth all the while.

I fell much better now,
i apologise once again, to my trainers, seniors, juniors and Xinmin SJAB corp.
..I don't know what to say anymore

Congratulations NA and NC,
you've done everyone proud.

but i have this urge to get back at the judges.
Experience is one thing, The outcome is another.

I've bubble wrapped my heart,
am i that safe now..?
