BSMM Xmas BBQ Party 2009

Hey everyone!

As all of you know we had our 2009 Xmas BBQ Party last Saturday at my place. I am super duper thankful for those who made it and rocked the party. :) For those of you who didn't come, do not be sad, as we'll always have next year and the years to come. So for those who didn't come here's a little preview of what happened:

Members started to come as early as 7.00p.m, (I'm sure they were really eager and excited). They made their way to the entrance where David waited patiently to register them. :) By 8.00 p.m. the house was filled with laughter and bustling members.

What was on the menu that night?

Chicken Wings, Sausages, Buttered Bread, Salad, chips, fried bihun and chocolate chip cookies.

:)

Shao Qi & Christine helping out

One of our chefs for the evening Jin-Zhi. :)

Joe Ee, Pei Wen, Kah Meng & Kai Boon looked cute in their coordinated christmas hats.

We form fours took the opportunity to smile for the camera as well.

Ban Joo, our official photographer for the night.

Some were seen chatting away by the pool , taking photos and just catching up on the holidays.

Chilling out picnic style.

Former seniors & form fives had the opportunity to walk down the memory lane from the old photo albums.

By 9.30 p.m. we had everyone to gather at the living room for some fun activities.

David and Wen Yee conducted the 'Match-making Game' which got everyone on their feet and finding similarities in any of the members. Those who couldn't get a partner with the same similarity had to be punished. Here are some of their punishments:

Wei Siang, Shao Qi & David dancing to The Peel Banana Song

Learning how to the The Breaks

Syahana and Adreana had to act out a scene.

Then we had a special impromptu performance by HSL Kar Men on the guitar and myself on the piano . We sang Beautiful by Christina Aguilera and It's not Easy from Superman.

Of course not forgetting the present exchanging session. :)

Last but not least group photo time. :)

One Big Happy Family

Enjoy the rest of the group shots :

I want to take this chance to thank the committee members, Helen, Wen Yee, Susan, Sok Hui, David, Jin Zhi and Adam of this Xmas BBQ Party. You guys did an awesome job of pulling off such an event.

Not missing out each and everyone of you who made the party happen in any way, thank you.

Also, many many thanks to the seniors and former seniors who turned up. Your presence that night made it more meaningful. I hope you guys had fun. :)

A big terima kasih to our official photographer, Ban Joo who took beautiful pictures for the night. :)

Last but not least, thank you so much to all of you who made it.

*If I have missed anyone, do know that you've made a special contribution to the party.

Have a good day,

VP :)

Youth on the Move

Hey everyone!

Exams are over, school's ended and now holidays are coming. :)

Just to give you an update of things, a few days ago we received the 2nd Issue of the Red Cross Red Crescent 2009 magazine. The cover story 'Youth on The Move' caught my attention. This issue reported on the World Youth Meeting at Solferino in June 2009 where young people all around the world celebrated the 15oth anniversary of their movement.

So I urged all you members to go and check out the website and see how you can participate in this event or anything similar in the future. Click here to read it.

Lastly,

Happy Holidays to everyone

Best of Luck to our form 5 seniors who would be sitting for their SPM.

First Aid 101 : What is First Aid all about?

Good Day members!

For today's First Aid 101 we will be touching on the basics of First Aid. All of you should know this by now, but take it as a revision. I'll be sharing first aid knowledge with you every alternate weeks so stay tune. Take note, you never know this might come out in future exams. :)

What is First Aid?

Emergency treatment administered to an injured or sick person before professional medical care is available

What is the aim of performing first aid on a casualty?

To Preserve Life

-E.g. maintain an open airway, control breathing , EAR

To Prevent further harm

- Prevent the condition to become worse
- E.g. dress wounds, immobilise any large wounds, burns or fracture

To Promote recovery

- For some, first aid involves trying to start one's recovery process from the illness /injury.

-E.g. relieve pain an discomfort, protect the casualty from cold and wet

Basically these are our aims when we perform first aid on a casualty.

What does D.R.A.B.C. stands for?

D - Danger

First and foremost, ensure that you or the casualty aren't in any danger. First of all, make the situation safe and then assess the casualty.

R - Response

Check the casuality to see if they are conscious. If you are not sure or the casuality seems unconscious you can check this by shouting:

'Hello', 'Can you hear me?', repeat this while gently shake their shoulders.

A - Airway

To open the airway, put one hand on the casualty's forehead whilst gently tilting their head back. This will move the casualty's tongue away from the back of the mouth insuring they do not choke.

B - Breathing

• Look, feel and listen and for a maximum of 10 seconds to see if the casualty is breathing regularly.
• Look to see if the chest is inflating and deflating while listening for signs of breathingYou can also feel for breath against your cheek.
• If and when the casualty is breathing normally, place them in the recovery position whilst check for other life-threatening conditions such as critical bleeding and treat as necessary.

C - Circulation

• Feel the pulse at the neck (carotid pulse)
• If pulse is present , continue EAR at the rate of 15 breaths per minute. Check breathing anf the pulse after 1 minute, then after every 2 minutes
• If pulse is not present, commence CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)
• Check breathing and the pulse after 1 minute , then after every2 minutes. If the pulse returns, continue EAR. If breathing returns , turn the casualty to a stable side position. Check for and manage shock, bleeding and other injuries
• Seek medical aid.

That's all for today's First Aid 101, enjoy the rest of your weekends.

Gratitude

Hey members!

As promised, HSL Kar Men and I will be giving you regular updates on latest on-goings. We've agreed to share with you about anything.

As for today's post I would like to point out to you the act of gratitude.

Gratitude or appreciation is a positive emotion or attitude that one has received or will receive.

Everyday we are blessed with a lot of things such as food on our table, a comfortable bed to sleep on , a roof on top of our heads and the list goes on.

So, don't forget to thank God, thank your parents, your friends or whomever you're grateful for!

If you do not know where to start, here are 5 great ways to show you're grateful:

1. Say the magic word - Thank You, Merci, Terima Kasih, 谢谢, Nandhri

2. Send a thank-you note

3. Do them a free favor

4. Surprise them with kindness

5. Acknowledge them in public

Alright to end my post for today, enjoy this video I found a few days ago,

Being One

Hello members,

I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. :) As you all know yesterday was a very meaningful day to each an every one of us because our country turned 52 years old! I would like to take this opportunity to urge all of you to be one. We should not let race and religion get in the way. It doesn't matter if you are a Chinese or a Malay or an Indian. What matters is what we want for the unit. I'm very sure everyone wants the best for the unit, to do so we need to work as one.
