iPad2

The new version ipad is selling today.
One of my friend's father line up for whole afternoon and got two black iPad2.
another friends order them online, but it shows the availability is 3 weeks later.
My boy friend asks me to bring two iPad2 to his dad when I go back to Taiwan next month.
Everyone is getting new iPad.....

I tell this to my dad in Taiwan, and he says he want one too.
The apple store in Asia will not sell the ipad2 until the middle of May.
And the parallel import iPad2 is now about $1800CAD......which is crazy high.

My dad wants to buy a iPad because he say he can use facetime to talk with me.
But...But....>"<  the only apple product I have is iPod nano.....which is impossible play the facetime app in it.

Today I turn on my TV and watch the NHK Japanese news.

New clothes for my hamster

Today I went to PetCetra and saw there are alot of pet clothes.

They have dog clothes and cat clothes, even the ferrets clothes. but they don't have any clothes for hamster. Since I have a lot of non-woven fabric left  from  non-woven craft,  I plan to make one for my hamster.

First clothes I made for him is a cloak and a hat.

But he doesn't like them.

So I made another hat for him.

A Christmas hat! he finally wear it.

but (-_-") he seems mad at me.

now I know why Petcetra doesn't have clothes for hamster.

Terrible flu

I was sick and stay on my bed for a whole week.

It is so good that I still alive and can type my blog in front of my computer.

The weather is not so good these days, and many of my classmates are sick too.

And I had high temp fever from last week and  keep coughing.

First night, I feel that I had fever but I couldn't find my family doctor. So my friend take me to the emergency of the Burnaby hospital. we were wait there for 3 hours, and I was almost die.

When I finally see the doctor, he just say it is a serious virus flu so I should take Tylenol  and drink water, then will be fine.

So I return home and take Tylenol for 3 days. But my temperature is still very high and never decrease. Some of my friends got the flu and their doctor give them a Tamiflu medicine. It is the medicine for swine-flu or some serious flu, and they recover really quickly.

Then I decide to see another doctor. My friend drive my to my family doctor, and I still have high fever. I asked him should I take Tamiflu. He said, the tamiflu is for the swine-flu, and if you had swine-flu, you will not be here. So he asked me to buy more Tylenol and drink more water.

Then I tell my father about my situation, and he went to see my family doctor in Taiwan. My family doctor immediately give my dad the tamiflu, and tell my dad that I have to take it from the first three days of fever. But I already had fever for 4 days, the efficacy may decreased.

So my dad ask a steward of Eva airline to bring the tamiflu to me.

Finally I took the tamiflu at the 5th days of fever period, and after taking it my temperature has significant decreased. And I can get put from my bed on the 6th day.

And almost recover at 7th day, even though, I am still coughing after that.

I am so happy that I am still alive.

If I keep taking Tylenol, I guess I will not be here. =_="
