If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause I didn't complete my air
Literally haven't done my stupid dupid air
Oh

I'm here alone, I wanna leave
My brain won't work, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that IMU would understand

But how do you expect me
to type alone with just me
'Cause my brain revolves around food
It's so hard for me to type

[Chorus:]
Tell me how I'm supposed to type the dumb air
Can't live, can't pass with no air
It's how I feel whenever I get air
It's no brains, no air
Dateline is in five more damn days
Tell me how am I completing my air
If brains not here, I just can't type
It's no brains, no air

No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air

I walked, I shopped, I ate, I shat
But still did not complete my air
There's no gravity to hold me down to type

But somehow I'm still infront my com
air is useless, but I do it
I don't know , but I don't even care

But how do you expect me
to type alone with just me
'Cause my brain revolves around food
It's so hard for me to type

[Chorus]
Tell me how I'm supposed to type the dumb air
Can't live, can't pass with no air
It's how I feel whenever I get air
It's no brains, no air
Dateline is in five more damn days
Tell me how am I completing my air
If brains not here, I just can't type
It's no brains, no air
No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air
No more
ooohhh
It's no air, no air
ooohhh

[Chorus x2]
Tell me how I'm supposed to type the dumb air
Can't live, can't pass with no air
It's how I feel whenever I get air
It's no brains, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how am I completing my air
If brains not here, I just can't type
It's no brains, no air

No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air
ooohhh
No air, air

Tell me how I'm supposed to type the dumb air
Can't live, can't pass with no air
It's how I feel whenever I get air
It's no brains, no air
Dateline is in five more damn days
Tell me how am I completing my air
If brains not here, I just can't type
It's no brains, no air

no air, air
no air, air
no air, air
no air, air

PS: air= assigned independent reading by IMU meaning which we have to look up stuff on the internet/books about a topic we have been assigned to then write/type a 300 word summary based on it

pps: credits to metrolyrics for the lyrics obviously

ppps: yes... i haven't done (started) my air :D instead i did this.

pppps: i tried fitting the words in according to the number of syllabus the original wording had. it SHOULD go well with the song. some parts are a bit awkward though.
and the lyrics ain't funny enough.

cpr test
7:33 pm

I have a CPR test tomorrow.
I'm sure you people (especially old pbsm-ers) will be going like "cpr only ma.... just press press and give teh kiss of life then ta dah!!! alive edi"

Well... apparantly CPR isn't that simple anymore. Those old geezers in the __(insert country name)__ heart association LOVE to make changes to the CPR technique. They probably have nothing better to do in their lives

"I say adult CPR should be 5-6 seconds between breaths"
"No!!! 5 seconds only! 6 is too small a difference to be counted
"I say 4"
"3"
"no... 5-6"
"darn you! listen to me!! it's 5 seconds!!"
And on and on.

But CPR is life concerning and I guess they have studies to back up what ever changes they make (hey... but how much can a second do???)
So today I've been trudging around infos on the net (with lots of confusion since some are not updated) and hopefully am ready for the test tomorrow (it's like an undang undang test. 50 objecive qws with a 84% passing mark. meaning 8 wrong only)
I'll be damned if I get a question wrong cause I read the old version of the CPR guidelines.

Hmmm... so how do you do CPR? Since i think only one girl fr med school reads my blog occasionally (i wouldn't know about lurkers. Come out from the shadows!!! Show yourself!)
I shall list a step by step for the benefit for my other friends (hey.. it might come in handy someday.) and for the benefit of myself to see if i've remembered all my facts

(ok, fine.. this is mainly to test my memory)

so... presenting:

SOOKIE'S HOW-TO IN ADULT CPR (ciplak version of the AHA version)
  1. remember Danger Responsiveness Airway Breathing Circulation
  1. lalala (cause stupid blogger won't change this to a 2 and I'm too lazy to find out how to)
  2. Ok... so now we have arrived at the fun part :D
  3. Kneel beside victim. Now find the notch in the sternum (the bone between your breast) above the naval. Place two fingers above it and above the 2 fingers is where chest compressions will be done (should be in between the breast of the victim or as AHA calls it.... in line with the nipple line) Then place the heel of dominant hand on that area and then slide the fingers of the other hand in between the fingers of dominant hand (palm of other hand facing back of dominant hand). Wrap the fingers of the other hand around dominant hand (fingers of dominant hand still spread out like doing a high five) Make sure only the heel of the dominant hand touches the victim's sternum. Make sure your elbows are straight and your hands are 90 degree to the victim's chest.

    Compress with maximum force (you will figure out how your position is like when you intend to deliver maximum force with your elbows straight). AHA recommends a depth of 1.5-2 inch but who carries a ruler anyway? (and what's worst is that we use metric formats eg: cm)

  4. Give compressions at about 100 per minute. The ratio should be 30 compressions to 2 breaths. The AHA motto for compressions is: push hard, push fast (all sorts of dirty stuff is coming to my mind now. and i'm sure coming to you too. ;) )
  5. After doing 5 rounds of CPR (meaning 5 x 30:2) check for pulse again. Dun have = keep on doing till:

  6. Emergency ppl arrive (high hopes it'll arrive within 4-10 minutes (critical since brain death occurs during this duration even with CPR) with all the traffic jam)

    Danger. Immediate danger threatening lives. Leave or transport victim

    Another more trained person takes over

    Exhaustion.

    victim is alive! (meaning has a pulse and is breathing)
I don't think i missed anything out now...
hmmmmmmm.........
yea... listed everything down edi i think. Other that that I also have infant and child cpr to learn.

So you readers (if you have made it this far or even bother reading the whole post) can now perform cpr or just show of to your friends that you know cpr (or you can just show off that you know where the sternum is))
Sadly... 1/2 a yr in med school and i only remember the sternum in detail
:(
farewell

Today I just found out that my brother's friend died in a car crash.
It all seems rather surreal. But I'm generally not affected by it since I've never met that friend before (apart from a brief meeting in the airport when he was there to send my brother off to UK)
And it's not really the first time since my sister lost a classmate in college and another friend in melb due to a skiing freak accident.

But if I think about it longer, what strikes me is that how much difference a day can do.
We go through life never really thinking that tomorrow maybe our last day. We are young and energetic, full of potential and have years ahead of us.

Do we?

Anything can happen in a blink of an eye and sometimes I find it sad that we can never really have full control of our lives. If a bigger force decides that its time, no allowances will be made and in a second everything will be lost.
So if you think about it that way, all the hatred and bitterness for enemies and whatever seems pretty pointless.
Poking fun at our politicians is fun though and can never be considered pointless.

Ah well... just have to move on and hopefully live to see another day
medical school

rare update. lol

Med school doesn't really feel like med school yet.
It's more like a routine school thing. I used to think that med school is such a glorious thing *cough* glamorous *cough* (lol... nerd idolization). What I really meant was that med school is supposed to be so intense and difficult. I thought joining med school might make me work harder. Be more disciplined.
But here I am typing this entry out at home when I'm supposed to attend lectures.
And maybe that's why I'm still thinking of the reason why I'm in med school.
The road is still so long and I can't see the end.

Everyday... we have lectures, occasional PBLs and CSUs, useless MMS sessions which everybody goes just to sign the attendence list (similar to lab sessions). The lectures are mind numbing. You can't really think straight when you're in a lecture hall. Your mind drifts off and the next thing you know your friend is nudging you for you to wake up cause the lecturer spotted you sleeping.

Right now I'm not too sure what I'm acually doing. Go to IMU, come back, sleep, eat, sleep. Repeat X5. Weekends are basically: eat, sleep, crap, sleep, eat, TV
Then repeat the whole cycle x1000
It's like going back to sec school.

But I guess when exams approach it'll be more interesting. There'll be the pressure to study. And maybe I won't feel so bored anymore since by the time I start studying there's always not enough time to study. And when I'm not bored, my mind doesn't drift off to start thinking of stupid stuff like why is life so pointless. Pointlessness.

And I need to get that darn A.
Just to prove to my brother I can do it too. That darn A...

Moving on to another random subject...:
OLYMPICS!
I love the olympics. I don't know why but i some sort of satisfaction from watching the Games.
Maybe because it's a competition. Working so hard to achieve something you want so badly. You keep hoping for the best and yet most of the time your dream just smashes in your face.
Ah... the memories.

Ok... I being super random. I shall end here.
:D
