IPOD Resuscitation
Yesterday my ipod suffered from a stroke... It first presented with slurring of speech. (weird music) Condition deteriorated into loss of consciousness. (no response to touch screen) GCS was definitely lower than 8, even the pupillary reflexes were lost. (not even to the hold button!)
I performed immediately ipod CPR. I dun get much oppurtunity to actually TEACH ppl when it comes to electronics, so am definitely making use of this situation. 
Proudly introducing the ipod 5Rs!

CPR:
- Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
- Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
So after 10s, the apple logo showed up & i was glowing with pride. Sadly only 2s later, this showed up:
awww its sick!!! AFib developed. Calls for immediate defibrillation.
Ipod Defib:
1. Connect ipod to power source via USB.
2. If iPod doesnt show up on ITunes, set Ipod to disk mode.
3. Before manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode you should verify that it has a charge, if not you need to either charge iPod before continuing or connect it to power. You can connect it to the iPod Power Adapter which needs to be connected to an electrical outlet or a 6-pin Firewire port on your computer.
4. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
5. Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
6. Restore your iPod using the latest IPod updater.
But that didn't work either. Poor thing had to go to ICU.
At the Apple's office. This is the diagnosis sheet:

I nearly laughed to death when i read the symptoms. (Almost as hard when i read "Male" under the gender column on my own CXR! Man that HAS to be overpenetration...)
I dunno if I should be happy or sad about the treatment. But I do wish things could be as simple with people.
Neways, pix from the summer!!!!

This is §»§ø, one of the few well-preserved ancient villages left. You feel so at peace with mother nature here. A slight drawback is women still have to do their laundry at the riverside.
btw, this is also where they filmed ª×ªêÂÃÀs

The first day was terrible. It was raining hard and we were shrouded by fog so thick that things more than 5 steps away cannot be seen.
Luckily the mist miraculously cleared itself up on the 2nd day. We climbed out of bed at 4 in the morning, unaware that we were in for a treat -
The sea of clouds can only be seen on a clear sunny day after heavy rain. The sunrise on top of the sea of clouds cast a saint-like golden glow on everything, and gave the clouds a pretty golden-lining.
So i guess rainy days aren't so bad after all!
³s²z¾ð - a pretty name for a tree whose trunk split into two. The pessimistic way of looking at it: dividing ways or ¥»¬O¦P®Ú¥Í. Is your cup half full or half empty.

Sleeping Buddha - all these stones aren't artificial! They just naturally look this way!

It was pretty high up, but definitely worth the hike.
Amongst the soft, fluffy cottoncandy clouds.
The paths are steep and narrow, so everybody walks in single file.
The scariest part: on ur RHS is the mountain, on ur LHS is a thousand-meter deep canyon. The handrails barely come up to your knees.
And your fellow Chinese ppl never fail to amaze you. Those Chinese women come hiking wearing high-heels!!

Everything was wonderful. One bone to pick is that the
catering is terrible.
