Baskin Robbins Gratitude

Beside the month with day 31st, what else can make the public to line up for this well known Baskin Robin ice cream. This is the compliment to our national hero, Dato' Lee Chong Wei who was recently won the silver medal from the London Olympic 2012.

Baskin Robbins was at first promised to share the joy to all Malaysians by giving one scoop of free ice cream if Dato' Lee Chong Wei won the first ever Olympic gold medal for Malaysia.  However the reality was cruel, He won the silver medal.

A quote from an ESPN commentator: "LCW is such a great guy, but Lin Dan is a bit arrogant. Skills win you medals, but attitude wins hearts." I personally think that because of his humble and great attitude, Baskin Robbins Malaysia was showing their appreciation and respect to Dato LCW, that's why Malaysians still enjoy the free scoop of ice cream.

I would like to say Dato' LCW, You make us so proud of you, although you didn't bring back a gold medal for us, but i believe you are still the winner in every Malaysian's heart. Wish you luck in coming 2016 Olympic game.

EFR & Rescue Diver

After so many years of being AOWD, I had finally decided to go one step further for this EFR & rescue diver.  This as well as taking me one step closer to my goal or my pure personal achievement to the instructor level, hopefully I can achieve that.

So for the rescue part, you have to do about 10 rescue skill. With my experienced instructor, I had done it within a 2 hours dive at the shallow water about 5 meters depth to finish all the skills needed by PADI. There was this unresponsive diver rescue which I found mostly come into situation if there is any emergency happened underwater. Next thing will be panic diver, tired diver and lots of rescue skills to be learned. My instructor had pointed out some skill teached on the PADI which is not really convenient or come handy while doing rescue, but we discussed and add on with some of his real scenario experience such as diver tow method. Anyway I still learned lot of knowledge during this rescue course.

Next part, EFR (Emergency First Response). This particularly important and very good for everyone. Well equipt with this EFR knowledge, you are not only gaining the knowledge but you are helping your surrounding people, old folks,toddlers at home if in case emergency happened while waiting for the emergency medical service. 

5 important steps from my instructor which is A=checking airway, B=breathing, C=chest compression, D=difibrillation, and  S=serious bleeding. Beside this, CPR also one of the core skill from the EFR.  I did some CPR practice on the mannequin. 

Well all of this are mainly for safety precaution, we all do not want any accident happen while diving or out on the land. Just prepare yourself and dive safe to avoid any careless or human nenegligence incident happen.

Thank you God for all the blessings!

Micah's First Step

A very special day to remember 29/06/2012, that was the day my son started to walk on his own.  You know it was just excited to see my son started walking at his 14 months and 6 days.  It was so sudden that we didn't actually spotted any sign of getting start to walk, like holding at the couch or any supporting edge trying to walk.

Seeing my son started walking, i can only said that time passes like flying.  I must cherish those childhood quality time with him.
