Yeeehah, the weekend is here. I really like Friday and especially on payday Fridays. Payday Fridays means no boss, hah, no boss to hawk over me. I do take advantage when the boss is not around. The big boss is in but he never bothers me.
Anyhoo, today I went for my First Aid and CPR class. This class was given free to all employees who wish to learn about First Aid and CPR. Before I went for this class, I had to take an online class which was 4 hours on the said subject. After going through the lessons, every participant needs to pass the pre-assessment test at least 80% or higher. It gives the participants two chances to take the test. If you didn’t get at least 80% on the first go, you will have the last chance. I had to take it twice. I went through my lessons last week and didn’t take the assessment test on Wednesday. Of course fail lah!! What I read, heard, saw all forgotten. Had to go over the lessons again and took the test. Passed.
The actual CPR class was good. We used dummies and practice mouth to mouth with a mouth barrier and chest compressions. The instructor also taught us what needs to be done if there is an actual situation, how to give CPR to an unresponsive and responsive victim, and a choking victim. We learned the Heimlich maneuverto expel the object from the choking victim. And of course, some ladies asked what should be done if it was a little kid, a baby. The maneuvers are certainly differently. I really hope I don’t have to use it. It’s a good to know kinda thing and the same goes with CPR. Giving chest compressions (30 compressions for every 2 breaths) is not easy. Boy, they are tiring.
When I got home, I was late first off, I started playing with the camera again since tomorrow is Photohunt day. The pictures below were taken with my Canon Powershot using the appeture and shutter speed mode. I am still learning how to take pictures with the two features. It seems to take better pictures than in Auto mode. What you say?? Have a great weekend folks!
