EMERGENCY!

Yes, when we are in the emergency situation, calling 911 would be the best option. BUT, not all cases should be reported to 911. So, today I will give some situations that seem dangerous, however we can CONTROL it by knowing and following the right steps. 

WHAT IF.......

a) A thief tries to snatch your handbag/ bag/ purse

Yes, I know that you will feel VERY TERRIBLE to lose a handbag with lots of precious things including your ID and money, BUT remember YOUR LIFE IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than your bag. So, what you can do is that:

a) Letting go of the bag

b) Shouting "Help, bag snatcher. Call the police!"

REMEMBER!

• Hold your bag on the side of your body farthest away from the road
• Wear your bag with the strap diagonally across your body
• Don't ever try to follow the bag snatcher

b) Your friend chokes

When you and your friend are having a meal and suddenly one of your friend starts to clutch their throat and gasp for air, this means he or she is choking. Before things getting worse, what you can do is:

a) Stand to the side of your choking friend with one arm on his or her chest for support

b) Try some quick hard blows between their shoulder blades

However, if it does not work, you should try the chest thrust or abdominal thrust technique:

REMEMBER!

• Chew your food SLOWLY!
• Don't eat while lying down
• Avoid from drinking and eating at the same time

c) A stranger follows you

If you are walking alone, the chance of being followed by a stranger is high. So, what to do?

a) Try to turn the corner. If the stranger does the same thing, YES, you are being followed.

b) Walk to the direction that lead you to other people

c) Get into a nearby shop or restaurant to ask for help

d) Make your perfume/ keys/ umbrella/ high heels as your weapon

REMEMBER!

• Don't panic or start running. Remain CALM
• Don't ever turn to the stranger and ask "What is your problem?"
• Don't stop and look around-just walk forward

d) Your car breaks down at NIGHT

It is definitely not a good thing if your car suddenly breaks down at night. Oh well, just remember not to panic. You have to:

a) It is best to try to stop your car under or near a light

b) If you have a hand phone, try to call for help

c) If not, flag down a motorist for help

d) Switch your headlights to low beam and stand in front of it to wave for help

REMEMBER!

• Don't sit with your bonnet up and front doors open
• Try to stop the car that carries families or more than one passenger-for SAFETY
• Regularly service your car
• Keep a spare handheld torch in your car 

So, I hope that these information would be helpful for all of us especially for ladies. Always careful with whatever you do. Till we meet again!

I'm NOT Right!

Roughly, there are about 10% percent of left-handed people out there in the world. And I am one of them. Yes, this is the right place to drop by if you are looking more information about left-handed people!

First and foremost,you are considered as left-handed person if you are doing your daily activities using left hand over right hand as your preference.

Causes of left-handed

1) Our handedness is usually determined by looking at which hand is predominantly held close to our mouth when we are still in our mothers' fetuses. Thus, left-handed people used to hold their left hand right close to their mouth before they were born.

2) If one of your parents are left-handed, then you are most likely to be left-handed as well. According to a research done by Clyde Francks from the University of Oxford, people tend to inherit the 'left gene' from their FATHERS. Surprisingly, it is proven to be true in my case.

3) According to the Geschwind theory, mothers with high level of TESTOSTERONE hormone during pregnancy are more likely to have a left-handed child. Fact:Testosterone hormone is important in shaping the development of the baby's brain.

Nicknames for Left-handed

1) Southpaw
2) Lefty

4) Caggy
5) Clicky

6) Gibble-fisted
7) Kerry Kittaghy

8) Left-plug

Implements' Accessibility

Left-handed people used to struggle with adapting implements that are commonly made for right-handed. Not anymore. Nowadays, we can find numerous implements that are specially designed for Southpaw. Here are some of it:

1)Scissors

The left side is for left-handed and the right side is for right-handed. Scissors' blades for left-handed are always reversed so that the top blade is always on the left. It is important for Lefty so that they can see the cutting line clearly.

2)Peeler

YES, it is difficult to peel fruits or vegetables using a right-handed peeler, thus, an invention of TWO-SIDED PEELER seems helpful for Southpaw. It is designed so that lefty can hold the peeler with their left hand and comfortably peel towards their bodies. 

3) Clocks

 Although it is rare to find, but there are clocks which are designed for left-handed people. It is made with counter-clockwise motion-natural direction for them. According to the clock above, can you tell me what time is it now?

4) Tin opener
