Déjà vu

Yeah, it was indeed deja vu when I became a helper once again for the 55th Annual State First Aid and Nursing Competition that was held last weekend. However, besides Don, Cham and Eric also took part as helpers in this year's comp..
          Technically, we were supposed to be under the administration section led by Mr. Kevin Peter. Unofficially, we were also there to 'fill in the blanks', meaning, we're replacements for any missing officers...XD. Anyway, this was what we did during that weekend..


Day 1:
-Registered both st. john junior & state comp competitors
-Checked their kits
-Bought lunch for officers ( me & Eric only XD). Epic thing was that lunch was paid by state hq...XDXD. -Treated my buddies and my boss to 100 plus as well
-Arranged the stretcher drill course
-Timekeeper for stretcher drill ( Don and Eric were the 'lucky ones' XDXD)
-Treated the mock casualties of the stretcher drill ( guys from St. John Junior) ice cream... ( money was given by Mr. Wong Seng Kim)
-Stored all the items used during stretcher drill

Day 2....It gets better:
-Arranged and cleaned tables to be used for cases
-Preparing the items needed for home nursing ( Don)
-Shifted the challenge trophies from the office to the hall ( Me and Eric)
-Brought other first aid items from the training room ( Me..)
-Coordinators for the cases ( I was the coordinator for the nursing cadet short case...XDXD)
-Timekeeper for the cases ( And the lucky one(s) is..(*drum roll*)..CHAM & ERIC!!! XDXD He was timekeeper for Ambulance Adult short case while Eric got Ambulance Cadet Short case)
-Helper for Home Nursing category ( Yoong Xiang and Lippy..lol, Yoong Xiang was called at first to help. Lippy was just an innocent spectator..haha)
-Arranged the trophies ( Don.. Wow, took him 3-4 hours just for this job)
-Arranged the chairs for closing ceremony ( me and Cham)
-Kept all the items back into the storeroom ( me and Cham) ...Epic win, Cham asked me whether I wanted to play stretcher drill.. Turned out that it was just keeping the heavy stretchers back into the storeroom...=.='
-Presented the trophies to Mr.Manin Singh to be passed to the guest of honour and then to the winners.. ( me and Don) Freakin tired because the tray was heavy( not really) with certs and trophies with it and I was exhausted to boot

Yes, it was indeed a tiring weekend. However, it was self satisfying in itself. Anyway, this year's comp was kinda interesting as there were new schools and old schools which skipped last year's comp... Anyway here are the winners

Overall Champions
St. John Juniors Cadets: Yu Ying
St. John Junior Nurses: Ave Maria Convent
Ambulance Adult: San Min, Teluk Intan
Ambulance Cadet: Poi Lam
Nursing Adult: Ave Maria Convent
Nursing Cadet: Ave Maria Convent

Yes... as you can see, AMC dominated the entire competition by bring back the overall champion's challenge trophy for both nursing categories as well as St. John Junior...O.O
         Anyway, it was an interesting event and I had gained many good experiences form it. Congrats to all the winners and to those who didn't get it, there's always next year...Cheer up

Ps; Just for your information, I was busy throughout the competition and I didn't get to spectate the teams' performances in each category. So, please don't blame me if the information above is unsatisfactory to you. I'm just blogging about what I've experienced as a helper in this comp... :P
