Sport's Day - A Wonderful Experience & Complaints AGAIN

Slept quite late last night after a long chat. then, this morning had to get up early for sport's day. in charge of st john. arriving at jubilee ground, had our patient, MY FIRST patient which was my big brother, our head boy, Shih yang who had a cut on the finger. i cleaned the cut and put plaster. that's my first patient. as time passes, started getting bored as nothing happens. and forgotten to tell you that, six st john ppl came from smk pending. and boy, i have to admit that we know nothing. as the sun begins to rise and when the sport's day is really heating up......that's when we are on call. i mean accidents starts to happen. ppl got blisters, cramps n muscle pain. handling them, trasporting from the track back to the camp and taking care of them was such an experience for me. i mean all this while, i have been on the grand stand handling the athletes and never knew the behind the scene of sport's day. really, one by one starts having pain and all that kind of stuff. after running, they either too tired or sprains or cuts and everything. and as first-aiders we have to help them. well, of course, i can only help in fanning them and cleaning wound and what else, treating their cramps but beyond that, let the experienced one do it. then, the day was from ok to hot sunny and then vroom, rain. it was nearly the end of the sport's day and it rain. and that's like the last few events when we are on alert. i mean accidents occur at the last few events. raining somemore. and i just thought of myself that i am not suppose to go under the rain after last years pneumonia nd after cikgu leong and jeffery wee told me that i can get it again. but i have to be standby helping the athletes right? how can i just chicken out myself just because of the rain. don tell me i save myself and dun care bout the rest??? so, i was under the rain and at the same time helping some of them. soaking wet, and dirty but i am satisfied. i mean i did helped them. it was tiring. so that was the end. blue got second. congrats to red who won. then i dun know the results cos too busy doing st john.
again, reflective mood, as of today's experience, i dunno if my hard work of helping the athletes and being in st john, anyone appreciates it. maybe they think i am toooooo busybody.
and also, i do the job, others get credit(not refering to this). i am not sure about all this you know. plus, when i get home, i was soo happy to be helping out today and wanted to share my ecperience with my parents but what do i get, scoldings from them and sour faces. really dunno what they are thinking. theycertainly DO NOT KNOW what i want,how i feel. i mean i can see other parents giving support to their children during sports day but for me, it's the opposite.
but overall, it was still a wonderful experience. and what matters is, i am HAPPY to HELP them. too bad, i join it late. however, i definietly am looking for this kind of situation.
have to go now, going out for dinner. oh yes, went home and what do i get scoldings from my parents - sth to ponder for me. then go to imu talk and now back here, blogging and goign out for dinner.
