surviving heart attack

hey gals i got a mail from somebody and i thought i should share it with everyone as it seemed very important and useful (my grandad was a heart patient).

May God Bless Us!

EVERYONE MUST KNOW THIS

Let's say it's 6.15p m and you're going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to adiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You areonly about fiv e miles from the hospital nearest your home.
Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Since many people are alone wh en they suffer a heart attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

*A breath and a cough must be repeate d about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. *

*Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

A cardiologis t says If everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.

New song again...

You all must be sick of the old song... So here's a new one! =)

And the lyrics are here, just in case you're feeling bugged by something constantly, everyday.....

And you just want to sing out loud (and horribly no offense hehe) just to LET IT ALL OUT!!!!!

Hehe. Here goes then. =D

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I need time, (time)
love, (love)
Joy (joy)
I need space
Love
I need me

ACTION!

Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell them what I like
What I won't
What I don't
But every time I do, I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I'm Overprotected

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do to with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I need, time (love)
I need, space(This is it)

I don't need nobody
Tellin; me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna (I need)
Do about my destiny
I Say no, no
Nobody's telling me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

Yeah...
What am I to do with my life
Yeah, yeah
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say no, no
Nobody tell me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me

What am I to do with my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Finished singing? Hehe~ well, I hoped you liked this song! ^_^

When I read the lyrics for the first time... They kind of reflect my life.

Though I don't think that I am really THAT overprotected now. Compared to the time when I was younger. But I understand why my parents did that now. I would do that to my kids too. (if I will ever have any, haha) Which parent wouldn't feel worried for their young kids?

Nowadays, I think that girls (or maybe even boys) of our age must be feeling a little lost. (yes, like the television series)

What should I be when I grow up? =O
Is the stream I went to the right one for me? =O
Am I on the right track? =O
What will my future be like? =O
Will daddy and mommy approve of me? =P
Why are these people controlling me??!! >=( (hint fez...)
When can I... just be ME? =/

I feel that currently, there are SO MANY THINGS that I haven't registered in my brain's memory yet. Life is much more than school. There are so many many many other lands to explore. I think we're all like...

One of those hopefuls in the past who wanted to sail across seas discover new lands.

(pause for an 'oooooorrrrhhhh')

Whahahahahahhahahaa!!!

In these in-between times, we are neither xiao mei meis nor matured adults. We are...

The TWERPS.

(Because the smart are nerds, and the stupid are dorks. Courtesy of my friend Junie.)

Okok don't get insulted because I am one too. =D

About me... I can't decide what I want to be. I want to be... er... alot. I want to go to MIT, and (maybe) get a pHD, then become a.......a.....a?

-an astrophysicist at NASA =D
-one of those rover designers at NASA =D
-a millionaire -_- hahahaa this is getting funny
-a humane human who supports human rights

ok enough about me... post about your future ambitions too k?

xinyi =D

Ruffled Fluffball

Ok I don't know what to put for the title, because I'm going to talk about alot of different things in this post. So mind the meaningless title. =P

On Amsterdam... I'm actually SHOCKED to hear that Amsterdam is such a horrible place. If you ask me, I rather have a million dollars than have a million packets of cannabis. MONEY IS THE BEST!!! Drugs are the worst. They make your immune system go crazy. Yep. So kids, stay away from drugs!

Oh ya I remembered that young kids don't read our blog. =P Maybe except Mukund.

The world should come together and fight against drugs, prostitution, porn, corruption, osama bin laden, saddam hussein, and maybe Donald Trump.

To the purification of mankind.

Hey did any of you watch the fundraising show on channel 8 yesterday? There was this part when the hong kong pop group "Cao Meng" (The group is called Grasshopper) sung a few old songs, because they are very old themselves.

I still remember that song you know!

"Bao bei dui bu qi, bu shi bu ai ni..."
(Translation: Sorry baby, it's not that I don't love you)

The song so diao hor. -__- I was still in kindergarten when that song was popular.

Then the 3 uncles from cao meng were doing some weird dance moves that looked terribly terrible. (maplestory F5 face) And to top it all off, one of the uncles actually forgot his lyrics. -_- Whoops!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh ya. You know those little moments when you sit around with nothing to do, staring at ether? Yup! During one of those moments, I thought of some weird questions.

"What makes my fingernails stick to my fingers?"

"How did I get that strawberry birthmark on my left thumb?"

"Can fishes hear?"

"How many players are there in MapleStory South East Asia?"

"Why does myopia occur? How is it that (example) reading while lying down, or reading without sufficient light cause myopia?"

"Why am I sitting around, thinking about stupid questions, and wasting my youth?"

If you know the answers to any of those questions mentioned above, please create a new post about it!

\\\About my first tuition lesson\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Well, I've never had tuition in my entire life of 14 years, 6 months or so, which makes this day rather memorable.

I was waiting a little anxiously for Julia to come, and low and behold, she arrived!

I reached the tuition centre 10 minutes early, and there were already people waiting outside. At around 9am, the Jappy (or Jappie) woman came in to open the doors.

Yep. And so we went into Classroom 4. A nice, decent, cosy, clean, air conditioned room on my first impression. Then, Julia pointed out to me that there was this terrible huge gaping gole in the wall, and if you looked through it, you could see the trees and the busy road outside. The hole was... CHEAPSKATELY partly covered up by a white piece of something. (I don't know what it was)

The class was supposed to start at 9am, but we waited and waited for the teacher and talked about maplestory until about 9.20am, when I said "Is he going to come anot... Stupid leh...". THEN! The guy came in, looking befuzzled.

"Uh... Sorry I'm late arh. I thought is 9.30 then start."

Em... He looked sort of nerdy and mathematical/scientific at first impression. He was wearing a blue shirt and black pants, and he carried a sporty backpack which is a MILLION times trendier AND nicer than Yappy's.

"Uh... Morning."

Then we said "morning" too.

"You know arh, today I went to my locker to take things then I found out they cleared my locker." He said, looking a little shocked, disgusted, and depressed.

"They cleared my locker without my knowledge. Haiz..."

His name was Mr Twang or something? I don't know. He wrote "Mr Twang" but how can you expect me to pronounce that without laughing?

Ok la... He just reminds me of Mr Peh, which makes me want to laugh, that's all. But I think his teaching is quite good. Much much much better than Yappy. I mean he encourages us! Like... after you do a correct step, he'll say something constructive, like "Uh..*looks through steps*Ah can liao."

And when you ask him a question, he gives a proper answer.

Unlike somebody. You ask him a question like "How come I got this?", and he replies "Ah... *looks through steps* eh wait ah give me a minute I go mark my books first."

1 minute............

2 minutes............

3 minutes...............

4 minutes.................

5 minutes....................

"Oh, that one ah, I ask other teachers first, I tell you tomorrow."

His tomorrow is forever.

Yeap! I enjoyed the tuition, also because Julia was with me, hahaha!
Looking foward to the next session.

So, hope you enjoyed my post!
Enjoy the remaining days of the holidays!(from julia)
=D
Looking foward to the SLS meeting tooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Xinyi

hi to everyone!

yupps my trip was about the same as xinyi's.... but i went to anmsterdam as well. and holland too. The city of amsterdam is so sad. they are permitted to sell soft drugs there and some of the coffee houses aren't coffee houses. they are DRUG houses. In the red light district as well, there are so many dirty things there like how the prostitutes just sit there waiting for a customer.

there was even this magnet that said "money without cannabis is worse than cannabis without money" the city is practically drug and sex propaganda. I feel so sad for the city.

on a happier note, i saw snow and hail and its so beautiful. there are soooo many cute dogs in europe. =)

hello everyone. how are you. i went swimming this morning and there were these american girls in the pool. they were about our age. i was astounded to see how they were staring at us. it was as if we were ppl from outer space. just coz our hair is black and skin, dark. it also happens everywhere i go. people talk to us as if we will not be able to understand what they are about to say. this morning when i went to breakfast and asked for some coffee, this guy asked which country i was from. i said i was an indian but i live in singapore. he looked at me and said that "you speak good english. did you grow up speaking it?" i stared back at him and told hime that of course i spoke english well. i studied in english i grew up in an english atmosphre and even in asia english is known by almost everyone. he was pretty shocked to here me say that. i do not think he thought that i would have answered in that way. these ppl think that we are some kind of uneducated poor and useless ppl who know nothing about computers, electronic stuff or anything that they are used to. however there are nicer ppl who do want to know more about our culture the way we live and all.

oh yeah another thing i noticed is that ppl here do not eat rice. my mother was craving for rice so badly because we has not had rice in our diet for soo long. therefore we decided to go to an indain restaurant to get some rice to eat. and let me tell you this i get to eat ice cream free of charge. free flow of ice cream everyday. free food. free pool. free fishing. free arcade. free use of internet. free accomodation and gifts everynight.

shall tell u more when i get back on sunday.

U S of A

hey guys! i am free right now and it is about 6.48 in the evening and believe it or not it is pitch black down here. for some reason i cannot access hotmail and so i cannot mail anyone of you pics. anyways my camera has run out of battery and we cannot charge it as there is some problem with the voltage of the camera and the socket. disney land was great and we met alot of charaters and took pics with them. i am going to universal studios tml and am really looking forward to it. it is really cold down here and guess what, today we went to disney's animal kingdom and took this ride where you sit in this raft and then you move along with the current of the water in this artificial river. and there is this waterfall in the ride and you fall from it. so we took the ride the first time and got all soaked. then we decided to another time and when we were just about to fall off the waterfall, the raft got stuck and would not move forward. so we were stuck there with twelwe other ppl for almost half an hour all soaked. on top of that it was sooooo cold and our clothes were wet. i was shivering!!! anyways then we got some one to drain out the whole river and then we walked out. people here are really friendly but you can get conned easily too. we got conned yesterday. i shall tell u about it when i get back. oh and yesterday i went to this pool party and because it is cold, the water in the pool is heated so we had alot of fun playing around with the inflatables. ok now i gotta go as my brother wants me to play pool with him. toodles
