All things std and aids

All things std and aids

You can actually run D.I.Y STD tests on your cellphone.



No, I'm not kidding. And that app actually costs 99cents.
"Doctors and technology experts are developing small devices, similar to pregnancy testing kits, that will tell someone quickly and privately if they have caught an infection through sexual contact.


People who suspect they have been infected will be able to put urine or saliva on to a computer chip about the size of a USB chip, plug it into their phone or computer and receive a diagnosis within minutes, telling them which, if any, sexually transmitted infection (STI) they have. Seven funders, including the Medical Research Council, have put £4m into developing the technology via a forum called the UK Clinical Research Collaboration."

Awesome, pissing on your cellphone. These scientists are so darn smart.

Speaking of which, this shrewd prostitute from China posted all her clients' phone numbers online, news, billboards, and anywhere else public, informing them that they have contracted Aids from her.




"Beijing and Hebei friends look, are your numbers included? Of course, the precondition is that you have gone to these entertainment places before. If your number is included, then congratulations, you have AIDS."




A whopping 284 of them.

Humiliation on top of a death sentence. What a brutal double blow.



P.S. Wondering what to get for me for Christmas (or possibly my birthday)? Check out my wishlist at the sidebar. A lot of them are pretty cheap, like below 10 bucks. Also, the list gets updated all the time and you can click on them for details.

Hell, I'm so shameless.

MAMA

It's about my 2AM obsession again.




It was said on Mnet Asian Music Awards 2010 (MAMA)'s official site that this event will screen live internationally, including Mediacorp. I'm not too sure, though, 'cos Mediacorp hasn't released any news about it. I mean, it's a mega huge event and nothing has been said about it? It's really weird.

Uh. I can't create an account and can't vote. So I'm hoping the other international fans can show some love to 2AM. They won't be there for the awards, though. So I'm hoping they don't get eliminated. I mean, it's ridiculous if all votes mount up to nothing right?

Yum?

Yum?

My lecturer finally know (lest say remember) my name, after 11 weeks of school. How pathetic; I was non-existent for 11 weeks.

Week 1 to 3 --
Him: (taking attendance) Joanna?
Me: Here.

Week 4 --
By then he knows everyone's name by heart, and he takes the attendance without even looking up.
Him: Janice... is here. Carolyn... she's not here yet. And Joanna? (looks around)
Me: (sitting right in front; waves) Here.

Week 5 to 9 --
Him: So tell me what is this and that and this and that?
Me: Answer.
Him: Correct. Now let's take attendance. Janice, here. Carolyn, here. Joanna...? (looks around)

You get the drift. And then...

Week 10 --
Him: Would you read this paragraph for me?
Him: Hmmm? Yea, you.

I clearly have no name.
Nobody believes me and I had to proof that I was really non-existent.

Him: (take attendance, calling out everyone's name)
Me: (to XQ and everyone around, clearly aloud) You'll see that he doesn't know me.
Him: ...and Joanna? (looks around)

Well. Didn't he just assigned me to read?

But ALAS!

Week 11 --
Him: Joanne, answer this question.
Gina: (almost defensively) It's JOANNA, not Joanne!

Hahahh, what cute protective instinct. Loveyouginacutie! <3

And that's how he remembers my name.


I would have grumbled more about it but I couldn't care less about it today 'cos...
2AM's album is currently flying whilst I'm typing this and I'd probably get it end of this week! The Ltd Ed one is seriously awesome.

And...
I'M FREAKING GOING TO AVILLION, PORT DICKSON AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
AWESOME MINI GETAWAY.

Okay. It sounds like London but it's actually Malaysia.
I know.
