Apple

I'm sick! runny nose, sore throat.. sigh.. must be one of the kids in Campbelltown with RSV :P On that note, I've completed my 4 week term in Campbelltown hospital, no more travelling 43km one way!

Campbelltown is a nice place to do paeds though, no other students, all the patients for yourself, all the registrars for yourself, hehe!

Anyway, just in between studying i decided to have a look at apple's site and came across the new Mac OS called the Snow Leopard.

Scrolled down a whole page that says how good and fast it is and at the end I saw this:
Good job apple! :P


The guys at apple marketing is probably the best of the best in the world.

Take this ad for example:


The most powerful iPhone yet! A bit duh rite? its comparing to itself.. of course the new one is more powerful than the old one la.. duh!

Voice control? even my old phone has it.. But i guess using voice to control music is something new. Now on the bus you will hear this:

"shuffle"

"next"

"increase volume"

"play"

Haha!

It might be a good thing though, if someone on the train blast his music and you don't like you can shout "off!" to stop it. :P

And compass.. really dunno what to say about it.. :P

Seriously though, at the rate apple is releasing their products, It would suck to buy something only to realise a few months later ur apple is rotten apple already. Slow down laa!

Oh well, that's my little thoughts on the new phenomenon.

Disclaimer:
I have nothing against apple, if you would give me a free apple product I would use it :P

 

GPCE

Went as a student volunteer in this year's GP conference and exhibition today. It is a yearly thing held in Sydney olympic park but it was my first time attending. Supposed to be the biggest event for GPs in the Southern Hemisphere.. The thing about Australia, everything you do has the potential to be the best in the southern hemisphere, since there isn't many other people in the southern hemisphere itself with the same demographics :P

Anyway, to be honest, my main objective to attend this thing is to get free stuff. Drug reps are a medical students' best friend. U have things like pens, notepads up til really random stuff like BMI calculators, stress balls, and random junk. Best thing today was probably a 1GB thumb drive, although these things are dirt cheap now. : P

Sperm shaped stress balls!

Day was tiring though, was asked to do stupid things like preparing pig throtters for the suturing sessions. Got a suturing kit for free at the end though, but i'll need some meat and some sutures to do anything!

But to be serious, the event itself can be quite a good learning experience since volunteers are allowed to sit in on most of the talks and workshops. Was too tired to do anything though.

Time to pack up the pens! :)



PS: what do you do when a guy who threthens to suicide on a bridge obstructs traffic for 4 hours? You push him down :P . The 'victim' survived at the end.
