Fire drill… in darkness

Fire drill… in darkness

“… According to the travel expert, it is essential to “always count the number of doors to the exit stairwell”, Cici said on a recent TikTok video.

This is in case there is a fire and “it is too dark or smoky” for hotel guests to see where the exits are.”…

****

Have you ever participated in a fire drill with all the lights out?…in total darkness?

… something to think about!

****

Every minute counts!

Every minute counts!

Resuscitation during a cardiac arrest!

****

I read about this gutsy lady

who ran in to pump her fists

onto a man’s chest

on a badminton court floor.

“Quick, call 999, and go get the AED from my car!”

… throwing her car key to her son nearby.

( Wow, she even had an AED in her car!)

****

Watching a few trainings in progress, as participants learned to do CPR on manikins.

“Madam, madam, are you ok? (Shaking the manikin’s shoulder…) Quick, someone, call 911, and bring the AED!”

“er… 911? Isn’t it 999 in Malaysia?”

“Oop, let me start again! Madam, madam, are you ok?…..”

( Too much of watching western movies and ER series? ‘911’ seems natural to a few of them! Ha, ha!)

****

Any questions?

****

“What if I break the victim’s ribs?” “…so, you rather watch him ‘go forever’?”

*****

“What if, it’s a lady? Do I put my hands on her chest?” “Stupid question! You better don’t be around if I ever collapse in office! Move! My turn to do CPR!” And the plump senior lady knelt before the manikin.

*****

Every minute counts!

What would our last ten years be like?

Stretching

biological fitness

into our chronological years,

as we age,

makes a huge difference!

Words Matter!

A woman renewing her driver’s license at the DMV was asked by the clerk to state her occupation.She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the clerk, “do you have a job, or are you just a …?” “Of course I have a job,” snapped the woman. “I’m a mother.” “We […]

Words Matter!

Ah, to reach that 10,000 steps!

Ah, to reach that 10,000 steps!

****

A senior walked

Holding on to the side rail

Up several flights of stairs

****

Reaching each floor

Was a number

Of the steps achieved

What an encouragement!

*****

Go for an evening walk!

Reach that 10,000 steps!

Cos health is wealth!

*****

Get a partner to talk to

Say hello and make new friends

With oldies songs in the background

And observing the surroundings

During an evening walk!

****

See what I saw along the way:-

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the heck she is!

Are you throwing oranges this Chap Goh Mei?

Are you throwing oranges this Chap Goh Mei?

In the olden days, single ladies will toss oranges into the river on Chap Goh Mei, Chinese Valentine day. This is on the fifteenth and the last day of Chinese new year. Men would be scooping them to make contact with these ladies.

In this age, someone should be creating a ‘virtual river’ instead!

Are you throwing oranges this Chap Goh Mei?

It is not about finding a perfect partner. It is about being a perfect partner.

The above is a Senryu.

Senryu is also called human haiku. It
is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of five, seven, and five syllables. Senryu depicts human nature or emotions.

Quote: “Mum, I also want my husband to hold my hand, always!” My daughter said after seeing our Malaysian’s His and Her royal highnesses holding hands as they walked down the stairs.

I am Choosing to Take Care of Me

“I can cut you off and still love you. I can stop speaking to you, and still care for you. I can let you go, and still wish you the best. If I leave you alone, it’s not to be bitter or petty. If I leave you alone, it’s for my own good. If I […]
