Hello everybody!! Medic Free speaking.

TIPS FOR REPORTING SICK FOR FEVER FOR NS MEN AND BRIEFING ON JABS
I can't help but laughing at Sherman's tragedy at the sick bay. 39.1°C is really quite high temperature so you can't avoid the drips. Based on experience...

37.5°C to 37.8°C - fever but no Att C
37.8°C - 38.8°C - fever with Att C (around 2 days)
38.8°C - 39.5°C - STAY IN SICK BAY AND WAIT FOR YOUR JAB
>39.5°C - going to peng san and maybe ambulance will come?

So Sherman very poor thing la in other words. The medics have no choice but to jab you and lower your temperature. For those who doesn't know what's the jab for...now I shall educate all of you :)

Intravenous - injecting saline fluid into your veins to increase your blood volume and also to cool down

Potential hazards

Pain (because medics have no experience and they have to topok, twist and turn of the needles may hurt, or even the needles may kink as the needles are bent after forceful knockings to the vein valves. Vein valves may be injured after the pokings)

Haemotoma (also known as blue black because of the needle poking through the vein and causing blood leakage to surrounding tissues),

Intradermal (causing your skin to swell up due to the saline fluid entering the tissue instead of the veins, with the skin a bit bloated and feeling cool but not painful)

WORST OF ALL : Air Embolism (air bubbles in your injection line, causing air to enter the veins, killing the patient when the bubbles are trapped in your heart valves or even the brain blood passages - you don't know and you can just die there. A bubble as big as 5 cent coin will kill)

So please don't get fever and drink sufficient water because your body needs it.

And if you every chao keng (fake) for fever or anything, the MO most likely knows it and he will ask his medics to poke you over and over again, purposely missing the vein so that you feel EXTREME PAIN!! My buddy told me that he and his friends poked this chao keng guy for EIGHT times to let him learn his lesson. So you all better watch out :)

But Sherman I think he's unlucky la. Most of the unskilled people are not in your camp I think. I have seen far worse. And is Sherman's veins so hard to find??? ;) We medics only have 10 jabbing sessions and I think we are not very pro also....just look at the number of poke marks I STILL have on my 2 arms (sad)...

Anyway beach outing soon :)

hey everyone... im shiyuN! tis is my first time blogging i tink! so how's everyone?? haha.. ok anw...for me i have stopped working to prepare for school...till now i tink SMU is really great! feli... is CIP camp tt bad? im going for one nx week... uh oh i got a bad feeling... hope it won't be as bad!

well... my first camp is the SMUX camp and im really really impressed bout everything... juz to introduce to everyone... SMUX= SMU eXtremist club. im not a very 'campy' person too... but i truely enjoyed the camp! we did trekking, cycling, kayaking, skating, scuba diving etc... everything under the sun and the moon! :-D

Oh! the food and prizes they give are like really good too... making the $40 i paid for the camp so worthwhile... the cost of activities is already over the amount we paid... and all the meal tasted nice, including a Subway sandwich for lunch(highlighting to JY and eileen) ! oh my group won a pizza for supper in the treasure hunt! haha! furthermore... everyone got a nice shoebag at the end of the camp... for those groups who got best cheer, best spirit etc... got prizes like nalgene bottles each... sadly my group din win anything! wat i can say is tt they are really good at finding sponsors! :-(

most probably im going to join SMUX coz they also organise sky diving and scuba diving trips! i strongly recommend this to my fellow smu mates: feli, leen and jy... and also to those guys who decide to come SMU after 2 years! SMU got interesting CCAs i must say... quite excited bout school now! tt's a good sign! :-D

oh... hope there wun be any change to the beach outing anymore! so will be seeing u all soon! yeah! :-D

p/s: eugene, i feel really sorry for U! :-P




Yo guys!

Whoa a bit stunned by the sudden enthusiastic response to this revived blog... To think that it was so dead and quiet when we were still in school.. Well i guess being seperated actually creates more opportunities for interaction as each of us have different experiences to share!

So there i was being rostered to do sentry duty this afternoon. Basically sit at the pass office of my camp, looking bored and exchanging passes for the incoming visitors. And guess who i saw... none other than our SAF scholar 2LT (2nd Lieutenant) CHONG SHI HAO. Yup he was going to the Mindef Scholarship Centre for some dialogue session for all the scholarship holders with the CDF (Chief of Defence Force, basically the big boss of SAF).. Also saw LTA (or was he CPT... forgot) Mikail Kalimuddin and changed pass for him =D. But too bad no time to talk to Shi Hao la. Ppl commissioned as officer got crabstick already...

(crabstick: rank for 2LT (one stick), LTA (2 sticks) & CPT (3 sticks). As compared with crabs: rank for MAJ (one crab), LTC (2 crabs) & COL (3 crabs)).

My upperstudy going to ORD real soon and going to start his university too... Same as all our girls down here... Good luck people!




I WANT TO COMPLAIN!!!!

I CANNOT GO TO BEACH ON NEXT SATURDAY! DAMN i have to book in for basic main range..

ok apart from that i really dunno what to say. just hope that u guys have fun on beach.. while i will be in camp sorting out the stores :( actually maybe i can go provided that i book in on saturday night. but if it's on sat afternoon that i will really sulk for the whole day.

This is feli btw, juz in case i forget to sign off with my name at e bottom later... ya i'm prompted by whoever it was who posted before me... ya n who r u anw? u made the jab sound so scary man... n whoever u r, pls take care so tt we all get to see u in one piece e nxt time we meet ya?

haha ya n juz like e rest of e gals, i'm now preparing for uni le... i'm not exactly a 'campy' person as u all noe... but for fear of having no frens, i still signed up for biz camp.. ya n i went for this scam beach party cip thing ( ya some of u have heard me rant abt it for like dunno how long.. so pardon me..).. cos i stupidly thot we're supposed to clear 80hrs of cip each yr... only to find out tt actually we can spread it out over 4yrs... o wells, anw it was horrible cos i realised ppl out there can be so diff frm us!! can u believe there r ppl who dunno wat bridge is when we're like playing it in school every single day? ya if u dun, now i'm telling u.. there r such ppl...

haha i guess my smu experience didnt start off extremely well... but hope it becomes better!! (otherwise i'm really gonna die...)

kk till then,

Felicia

I AM HOT!

39.1 degrees to be exact..went to report sick and medical officer(MO) said i had to go on drip:( apparently my vein is kinda slippery and tends to slide..giving those medics a hard time to inject my vein..

jab no. 1: MISS! the needle went into my flesh, twist and turn a little but miss the vein:(

jab no.2: SPOT-ON..aft more twisting and turning, the needle hit the vein..everything was set up nicely but then, the liquid wasnt flowing into my vein and they realised the needle was kinked(technical term), looked exactly like the kinked demand curve(jeff should know)..so REDO..

jab no.3: HIT!..but needle was kinked again..reason due to my slippery vein and they had to twist and turn the needle to hit it..

jab no.4: those boys gave up..here comes the MO..he drew 2 straight lines on my arm indicating the direction whereby the needle should enter my arm and wanted his medic to try again under his supervision..half-way through the MO took over since his medic was juz about to cock up..finally the MO managed to hit my vein without much trouble..

so yea..my 1st time experience of a drip..4 jabs:D..JEFF TRAIN HARD PLS..aft my time at sickbay, got 2 days att c and went home..

with lots of love from the sperman,
SPERMIE WURMIE

Hi guys this is Liang Jian, here's an update about the upcoming beach outing. Due to unforeseen but not really unexpected army related problems, the date of the outing has been postponed from this saturday (29th July) to next saturday (5th August). Just a friendly reminder to those who said they weren't free this sat: since the date's been changed, i'll fry your ass if you can't make it for the next one :D

Oh and tentatively we'll meet at the usual place at 11. Note to William: You get to report at 1015HRS since you're always ... chronologically challenged.

I'd like to keep with the trend of blogging about my army experience, but there's really not much to talk about other than the significant number of off days i get :D (which i'm sure you guys don't wanna hear about). Guess i'll just post again when something interesting crops up. Till then, here's something i found ...

"Those hardtack biscuits that we get, they do taste nice, except that I need to use up a lot of 'jaw power' to munch them. So, I experimented with them, opening the biscuit packets and pouring water to the biscuits. Then I squashed the biscuits to get a soft mixture. When I ate them, guess what, they tasted like chocolate cake!"- CPL (NS) Edwin Tan Yew Ming.

Don't we all love field rations?




Hi:) I'm sure alot of eyes are popping now. When does Kaixian ever blogs?? Maybe I'm trying to be more normal. Actually I wanted to write something. After all I haven't attended any gatherings since jan.

oh, about the senior-junior class gathering, there will not be one anytime soon. kuixi smsed me to say the response to the beach outing this sat, from the senior class, is so-so. some find it wierd to go so I don't think the seniors will go.

As many of you will know I didn't work. No, I'm not slacking (I prefer to say that I am relaxing:)). I'm helping out with the housework, enjoying myself, eating and reading. Thank goodness I haven't gained any weight. I actually lost weight. Probably because I am kind of exercising every day (I have no excuse not to). Skipping, to be exact. For some reason or another, my mom actually thinks that if I skip now, there is a shimmer of hope that I will grow taller, so I'm skipping to stop her from nagging at me, not that I think it works. If any of you are thinking of getting a book, do pick up books by Jodi Picoult. She is a brilliant writer and the topics she chooses are rather unconventional but thought-provoking.

The only exciting event so far is the health scare I had in April/May. Some of you will know that I had a surgery in early may to remove this lump in my breast. Thank goodness it is benign:) To all the girls, do do remember to do self-examination. My gynae says that males can get breast cancer too, so do go for regular check-ups:)

The days before and after the operation was ironically, one of the happiest moments in my life. many people often think that happiness is dependent on external factors, but it isn't. What I discovered through this scare was that happiness caused by external factors is temporary and impermanent; only happiness caused by internal factors like attitude towards life is permanent and true happiness. Some times, I think life is fair. Nobody can ever have everything he/she wants. If you have A you will not have B or only part of it. So just appreciate what you have and don't lament about what you haven't.

I really apologise for making this so philosophical but I wanted to share with everybody this experience. To 3!, I really apologise for only informing all of you after the surgery but i wasn't in the mood to talk about it.

For the girls, uni is starting soon and for the guys, training continues. Do take care:) Hope to see everyone soon!

haha. i think i shld write a post here too.

i want to go beach! but whether i can ornot depends on whether my staffs allow me to leave.. yups life in armour infantry isnt that nice. every bookout day is so uncertain cus the instructors are so SWIFT AND DECISIVE in giving extras and confinementes. speaking of beach.. lj can u help in providing the details.. like when to meet and so on? and is there still going to be this combined dinner with the senior class or something?

ok so i digressed. as i was saying i am in armour infantry. basically it's a combi of both armour and infantry.. which means i still cheongsua -sians- nothing much happening for me leh. just that i am a qualified driver for my armoured vehicle.. lol.

regarding to william and sherman's posts.. i'll try to remedy it ASAP. i dun really have much time now cus i just woke up and yes it's 6.50pm! haha cus i finished my 24 hr guard duty today.. very tiring lah! reached home at 10+, ate breakfast and slept till now. my day is gone.. :( yup.. i will try to remedy it during the next bookout.. provided that i can bookout.

yup that's all.. hope to see you guys soon!

Hello class blog!! This is free blogging :) These few days have been quite busy with my own blog la so didn't come here to visit...but realise this place is so flooded with messages!!! O_O

Hope to go to the beach with you guys but I think I'm confined next Sat...sigh. It's a very long week for me (don't know how many MOPP Conditioning I have to do). Hope this week got a lot of rain then cancel the training...Otherwise I will faint inside the mask and get heat stroke in the hot suit...Life has been quite good if not for the mask and the suit.

Booking in so soon!! The week is over...Nooo......

-Free




Hi guys! paiseh i AWOL (absent without offical leave) for quite a while from this blog due to my slackiness..but i shall do my part to revive this blog..regarding the beach outing, count me in! (so long as i dont get confined)..so far more than half my course tio confinement liao..anyways, what am i doing in army!? i am a bridging engineer but dont be mistaken, i dont really build bridges..so far i haf juz completed my boat package which is learning how to operate an assault boat!! cool right?..assault boat is fun stuff but the boats and motors are really heavy..aft this i will learning about this vehicle called the comet..it can be driven on land as well as being partially submerged in water..the purpose? its sides can open up to create a platform for other vehicles to drive on it, so as to cross the river..many of these comets can combine to create a longer platform depending on the width of the river..so get the idea now?..but now i am still a trainee so i dont know much about this comet thingy..so yeps, thats about it..

-=sherman=-




yoyoyo! i'm here to blog! how does one blog? just go online find a space and type wadever they want to right? guess that's just wad i'll do. beach outing! goodie. growing fat. could use some exercise. ok for those who wanna know wad im doing now in ns.. i'm in air force, training to be a weapons system officer (unmanned aerial vehicle). in plain english, i'm in charge or something like a remote controlled toy plane in the air that spies on other people and makes a hell lot of noise. other descriptions: lawn-mower in the air, flying-coffin. additional info: classified. still holding on to some hope of being pilot, hopefully after i commission. hey anybody need any help organising anything just send me a msg. this is a very good thing, keep it up guys. cheers to lj!
