YO! Chingus!
Tomorrow will be a great day for iPhone 3G users. There will be a major software update, called iPhone 3.0. The iPhone is set to get a face lift. Apple will show off a new version of the iPhone operating system, iPhone 3.0, on March 17, along with a new version of the phone's software development kit.
The most anticipated features will be the ability of the iPhone to do Copy & Paste! Yea.. finally after years of disappointment and have your hopes down to earth, you can finally brag about how superior it is to have an iPhone, the King of all Phones as they quoted. :D
Also, it is rumored to have tethering ability and MMS. So now, you can finally share pictures with your friends although you will still have your low-end 2.0mp camera to go with it. LoL~
Personally, I don't really mind about the lack of features because I don't really need them as I'm satisfied with the current IMBA-ness. hehe. But, one thing I need the most right now is FLASH!! (YouTube is just not enough maa.. another 'Tube' needs to be explored as well... hehehehe!) and just for the sake of showing off to Mags, Copy & Paste!! ;P~ sorry dude
Well, till the time comes, let's just pray for more cool features in the update so that they all will hail to the King!! huhuhu! Can't wait to post about it! Chiaoz~

YO! Chingus!
Recently there was an epidemic alert in my hostel regarding to Rubella disease where 3 students got infected. What is Rubella actually? Many of you might be confused with the term Measles with Rubella. Actually, both of them are 2 different things, got no connection and totally unrelated at all, beside the fact that both are almost called the same.
Rubeola is the term for Measles and Rubella is also known as German Measles.
"But both are measles maaa! Only that one come from German, and the other one don't know from where!"
Well, it is very hard to distinguish the differences between these viruses. They all have the same general appearance, which is a red papules all over the body. The best way to tell the difference is by determining the origin of the virus.
1. Etiology
Rubeola (Measles) is caused by a virus, specifically a paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus. Morbiliviruses are enveloped, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA viruses.
Rubeola Virus (Paramyxovirus)
Rubella (German Measles) is caused by Togavirus which is enveloped, single stranded and positive-sense RNA virus.
Rubella Virus (Togavirus)
2. Symptoms
A) Rubeola
- Fever up to 40° Celsius
- Cough
- Runny nose (coryza)
- Rash
- Conjunctivitis
B) Rubella
- Slight fever (rarely exceed 38°Celsius)
- Swelling of lymph glands
- Runny nose (coryza)
- Rash (starts from the face and then spread to the limbs)
- Joint pain
3. Route of Transmission
Both spread through respiration and highly contagious.
4. Prevention
According to 'Program Imunisasi Malaysia' the first dose of vaccine against Measles and Rubella, known as MMR vaccine were administered to children aged 12 months. MMR is a vaccine made of inactivated strands of Measles, Mumps and Rubella viruses.
The second dose were given at the age of 4-7. The second dose is not a booster; it is a dose to produce immunity in the small number of persons (2-5%) who fail to develop measles immunity after the first dose.
The third dose were given at the age of 15. This dose were only given to girls because during that age, most of them have reached their puberty. What is the significant of that? Rubella is a mild disease. But, it can become dangerous and lethal if transmitted to the baby during pregnancy. The disease is called congenital rubella syndrome.
The syndrome (CRS) follows intrauterine infection by Rubella virus and comprises cardiac, cerebral, ophthalmic and auditory defects. It may also cause prematurity, low birth weight, and neonatal thrombocytopenia, anaemia and hepatitis.
That is the main idea of these diseases. Now, as a prophylactic measure, all students here in Moscow are advised to take vaccination. Well.... as for me, I don't think that it is a need to do so since we already got our vaccinations in Malaysia. (I don't know exactly whether I have already been vaccinated or not, but I just simply don't want to go mainly because of the needle!!)
So, guys.. if you got some of the symptoms mentioned, please refer to the doctors and get yourself treated. Don't go around and sneeze in front of people! huhu!
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading. Till the next post then. Chiaoz~

YO Chingus~!!
OMG... Isn't she a beauty? I can't resist myself to get my hands on her so I just bring her home without even thinking twice. I know, 16 GB is just way too much for me. I mean, I only used 3-4 GB on my previous iPhone 3G. But, seriously this sweetheart worth every single penny!
The main reason other than its colour, I bought it because it came unlocked, so I don't have to stress myself when the new firmware came out. It's just like Abs always told me when I asked him "Yo hommes, would you like to tap that busty ass?" and he'll reply "You know what, I'll tap that the minute she walks in front of me and if she doesn't, I'll tap anyone here including your ass, just to satisfy myself" See! he never think twice! no more waiting for a few days to update the firmware, no more risk getting the phone bricked. just go on with the flow~ I respect you hommes! you are the source of inspiration n shit. (sorry dude, I just need to type this eventhough it is not really relevant) hehehe
Well, as the previous phone, I've sold it to Fiey with a VERY reasonable price. hehehe! She needed a PDA anyway and also is very familiar with Apple interface so it's better getting an iPhone rather than other PDAs. Plus, Apple has provided tons of cool apps including medical ones so let's make use of that!
That's all for now. I'm lacking time writing this blog because right now I need to spare most of my time playing with her! huhuhuhu~ See ya!
