lunch with my sis @ great world (kuishin-bo)
Monday, November 24, 2008
it's been a long time since my sis and i went to eat at kuishin-bo.
what was appealing to this restaurant was 'lunch 60mins @ $20.90++'.
we went for the 60mins the previous time which was a couple of years ago at the outlet in suntec city.
this afternoon, we went.
and we were the 1st customers for lunchtime in this newly outlet at great world city.
once in a while, it's ok to feast and go all out to just eat and eat and eat.
but watch your waistline if you are concern about your weight... (i mean me!).
oh! before i end, my sis and i exceeded the 60mins.
we went in at 11.35pm and we left at 2pm.
1st aid
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
did i ever announced that i'm a certified 1st aider?
yes? no?
anyway, i have the certified pass in my wallet.
well, i went through the course september 2007 last year and i've passed with full marks.
it's not just theory but practical as well.
let me tell you, it's not easy as i haven't been studying since i graduated from Uni in 2000.
studying, revising, memorising isn't my forte...
anyway, back to the subject.
this morning, as i walked to attend to a customer.
i saw my 2 staff (A) & (B) standing at the back of the register.
seconds later, i only saw (A).
i quickly asked, where is the (B)?
(A) didn't replied me but kneeled down behind the register counter.
(A) called out, (B) has fainted!
i went 'what?' and ran over.
looking down at (B) with face down and trembling, i called out to (B).
i fumbled with my walkie talkie and said to anyone who holds the walkie talkie, '(B) has fainted.'
one of my supervisor (C) came over, he kneeled down to look at (B).
(C) looked up at me and said, 'we have to call the ambulance.'
i fumbled again at my walkie talkie and said to my fellow manager, 'call the ambulance.'
both myself and (C) tried to carry (B) up to a resting place but (B) stood up and fell down.
we lifted him up again and let him sit down while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
when the paramedics came, (B) refused to leave as he felt he will be fine after resting.
oh well!
what a commotion...
actually, during the moment when i looked down at (B) trembling face down on the floor, my mind went like
- what's the number for the ambulance?
- which paragraph highlights the symptoms and responds?
- what is the 1st step, 2nd step, 3rd step...?
- what should i say, what should i do, how do i do it?
you know what; i think in times like that, all textbooks are useless; only practice and real life practice works best.
