Why shouldn't put dry ice in your car!!!

This is taken from the email that one of my friend send to me.. Just wanted to warn you all incase my dear readers are not aware of this.. Not sure whether this is true.. But is better for all of you to be aware of it.. If you are in this situation, at least you all know what to do... Hehe..
And since am doing Ice-cream assignment and blogging about ice-cream, why not post some facts abt ice-cream!! Haha




Remember this especially when we buy lots of ice cream during Baskin Robbins 31st day offer!!! They normally put dry ice in your ice cream pack if you buy a lot.

A friend bought four pack of ice cream and to prevent it from melting, the seller put the dry ice amongst the ice cream. My friend put it at the back seat (not the back of the car) and he started to drive with the windows closed and the aircon on (as what we all do). Soon after that, he had difficulty to breath and it was getting worser by minutes. Luckily, he was in a traffic jam and when he almost fainted, beside him was an ambulance. He dragged himself to the ambulance and got the oxygen treatment. He was getting better on the way to the hospital.

The ambulance officer drove his car to the hospital and he had the same experience. However, before his condition worsen, he opened up the window and he can breathe easily. Only later, when my friend has returned to office and told his colleagues about his story, they
pointed to him that the dry ice was the problem. WHY?

Dry ice was made of CO2 and when it "melts", it becomes CO2 gas straight away without leaving any wet mark (that is why it is called dry ice). CO2 is easier to be tied up in our blood and thus, when the dry ice sublimes into CO2 gas, it fills the car room with it along with the air con circulation and caused CO2 poisoning. So, dont put the dry ice inside your car if you are using aircon with fully closed windows. You must leave the windows open for such situation.

Hope this will help to prevent any fatality just from a small negligence like this. Imagine if you have your children inside, they might be the first victim.

Lecka-Lecka and a damn tiring week!!!

Dear readers

So sorry for not updating for some time de.. Have been very busy last whole week and this whole week till 5 of May 2008 de..

A short update

Friday- Went to Bukit Bintang outside Starhill after uni at abt 5 pm, and was stuck in the jammed till 7.30pm.. DAMN the jammed.. When we reach, i was damn hungry so me and one of my group mate order something from Lecka-Lecka which was so expensive.. Issshh.. Then when we wanted to order Milkshake, the waiter inform us that there is no gelato... I was like issshh, then i can't do the questionnaires.. DAMN IT!!! But was too hungry so we continue with the order and started talking and discussing in Lecka-Lecka.. After abt 9 something pm, we all left.. What a waste of time and money... Sob sob

Saturday- Woke up early, prepared my stuff and at abt 2pm, left house to Lecka-Lecka in Cineleisure.. Was there till 7.30pm to distribute the questionnaires.. DAMN tiring.. There is no place for us to seat, so we had to stand up for so many hours.. Isshh.. Then after we were done, my group members and I went to IKANO power centre to eat Steamboat.. After dinner, we all left, and I went to meet my friends in Cineleisure and then all 3 of us went to dessert bar for dessert to support my cousin.. So Full and what a tiring day..

It was raining so heavily, so had to wait till the rain stop, then took a teksi from Shangri-la to Lot 10.. went for an early dinner and walk around. Waited for my friend to reach at 8pm. Teman my friend to eat first before we went to Lecka-Lecka. We went there again because we couldnt do it on friday. was there till 2am. reach home abt 2.30am and shower and only fell asleep at 5am. Another tiring day!

What to you think?

I have a good question for you guys to comment today?? As you guys know that am facing problems and am emotionally down.. However, most do not know what happened? and what problem that can make me so down?? And guess what?? What a good timing? When assignments and work are pilling up and this problem have to arise? Am actually thinking whether am I that type of person or am I not? So people out there who knows me since ages ago or some might only know me recently, am willing to listen to what you guys comment about me? How I treat you all and how is my personality like? Am I a person who is easy to be bullied and being abused? The problem that am facing is related to some of the questions I ask you guys.. Sorry, I decided I better not tell you all till things are more settle and when am more emotionally stable.. This problem is should suppose to be a Private and Confidential.. So I don't want others to get involved so I will keep this secret unless someone I so hate is challenging me to do it.. I also don't want my 'personal friends' to get involved in this too.. because they have helped me many times and I really owe them a lot.. Some of them who are close to me had know about this incident, and most of gave me advices.. I really want to thanked all those who had help me and was with me throughout all the pain and suffering I am going through.. You guys know who u are, who spend lots of time to talk and advice me on what to do.. To those who I didn't tell you all also were still there for me.. without asking me what happened when I told you guys is P&C. I told only a few people about the incident because they are either in my group and also a few were a very close friend of mine from school days..

I really appreciate all of you who were with me during this time.. I thanked you all from the bottom of my heart and I really mean that..

All comments are welcome... and i really want to hear what you guys really think of me.. Don't worry.. our friendship will still continue... hahaha.. I just wanna know the truth.. and am trying my very best not to be so emotional and trying to forget this problem.... Wish me luck.. hahaha...

What a week!!!

Hello, Sorry for the lack of reply.. Was quite busy and emotionally down.. Some of you mite know about it and some might not.. But 99% of people doesn't know about it but is ok.. coz am not planning to tell many people why.. but some mite have known through my msn and yahoo msn on how i feel... So basically, i didn't feel like blogging the whole of the week.. Of coz, the other reasons that keeping me away from blogging for a week is due to uni workload.. I havent been able to watch my dramas now also... Issshh... Not fun... But is also because am just exhausted..

Dad's birthday is on Saturday and I decided to go back to Penang again to spend time with my dad.. I didn't get to celebrate with him last year coz i was admitted to the hospital.. So now, I will go back tomorrow and then come back to KL on sun... Next week, will be another hectic week with all discussion and work.. but is quite fun... coz am happy with my group members..

I guess that's it for now.. Poh Ching tagged me, but I wont be doing it yet.. Sorry Poh Ching.. Tak ada mood to do it... :)

Btw, any suggestion on how I can make money... am broke.. Haha... All comments are welcome!!!

What is happening to me???

I really don't know what happened to me.. I feel so depressed and sick.. Is only been 4th week and I have been feeling depressed and moody.. I don't know what is going on with me.. Am I sick till I feel my body is tired or have I been going through all the suffering of the chinese medical treatment and also getting sick at the same time.. I really don't know.. Or I just feel like things are going against me.. Or am I just feeling lonely staying alone here.. Sometimes when things don't go well, I really hope someone is there for me.. I hope my parents are in KL with me.. I hope I can stay calm and be independent.. But, I don't know why am I feeling so depressed and lonely.. I know I know.. I shouldn't be feeling this way, but I really can't help it.. My body is weak, I don't have appetite to eat, my throat is so painful, I have bad headache and I CANT SLEEP!!! Besides all this, I need to act ok in uni, I need to attend classes even though am sick, and every week, there are so many discussion and work to do.. I don't know why, but I hardly get depression, and if i do, I usually able to go through it.. because I have close friends around me.. But I feel this time is worst then what happen last time.. I don't know why and what happened to me.. I just can't wait for the time I graduate.. am mentally and psychically tired... my body is not the same like last time.. The doctor telling me I need plenty of rest, but yet, either I cant sleep or I have work to do.. Every week, tutorial presentation with groups are already making me busy.. Although usually I wont complaint about it and I usually able to cope, but I don't know why am complaining now.. On conclusion, I know am just depressed..

I HAVE TO BRING MYSELF UP!!!! But sometimes, I just want to have a peace of mind, without ppl finding fault or finding ways to hurt you... I guess am feeling this way cos things haven't been going well for me since I got sick.. But no matter how I feel now, I hope I will be ok soon.. It might takes few days or a week plus.. But I can't let it go longer than that.. I mentally must be strong, is only 1 year more.. and time passes very fast, so I can do it.. and I will do it, no matter what it takes.. but my health will come first before anything elsee..

To those who is reading this, pls keep this confidential. I don't want anyone of my aunties, uncles, parents to know how am feeling now..

I wasn't suppose to post about it, but I just want to try whether if I type how I feel here, I might feel better... Anyways, this blog is for me to type all my emotions, my ups and downs in life and so on..

That's it for now.. Thank you to those who have been with me since I feel depressed and lonely..

Love you all...
