iPhone | SIM Card or GSM only?



Ok so everybody's hyped up by the iPhone, and soon we'll see it in every hand but that depends on whether it has a SIM card slot or not. A lot of forums agree that the iPhone has a removable SIM card slot, however, none of them have shown it yet while Apple still keeps this issue undisclosed for us to find out. If it doesn't have a removable SIM card slot then there's no point in getting one.

Looks like those who want to order it online, including me, have to wait around 4 weeks for it to get delivered + another week for it to arrive here in Kuwait. :/

UPDATE: Thanks to Mishaal, from iFixit iPhone disassembly guide it shows that it has a removable SIM card slot. [link]

Roachophobia

"I still don't get how u can kill rats but ur afraid of roaches." -- elijah

This is how it started...

When I was at fifth grade I was lying on the ground playing Honoo no Toukyuuji Dojji Danpei on my SEGA Mega Drive, my little sister (was 6 years old back then) was sitting next to me watching me playing. She told me she saw something next to the TV table. I didn't pay any attention, my concentration was all in the game.

Time passes by, suddenly I felt like my foot is sweating but that sweat is going up my foot rather than dropping down my foot. I changed my position to find myself in a situation nobody would want to be in. That thing crawled up my boogie pants and reached all the way up to my knee!

*lots and lots of undisclosed drama*

And that's how the phobia started. For a whole year after that incident I wore nothing but shorts. Even at school I used to fold my pants up to my knees because whenever I feel sweaty feet my life goes dark!

Ever since that happened I have acquired an amazing ability to detect roaches... There's a certain smell, whenever I smell it I can tell there's a roach lying around somewhere in that room. (some people know exactly what I'm talking about)

Funny thing is, since the incident till this day (and maybe forever) I never sleep without precaution measures. I always have insecticides within reach and bring exterminators on annual basis.

Dedicated to Intlxpatr

"Ahhhhh, Mac, I know you are just being kind because YOU have a hot new camera with all the bells and whistles. When are we going to see some photos?" --intlxpatr

Here are some pictures...







They're not perfect but I don't take my camera everywhere I go hence I don't get to take more pictures. The built-in vibration reduction system works great. However it has slight effect on long exposures and high zoom (i.e. Kuwait city picture). I need a tripod and a little more practice on the functions of the cam.

ps: Am I the only one who misses Moocherx?

Good bye Jeleeb Sheyokh, you won't be missed.

Last week school's over and I'm out of Jeleeb Sheyokh for good starting next semester (fingers crossed) so here's the ultimate "I HATE JELEEB SHEYOKH" post.

I will show you the trash yard (a.k.a. school) I've been working in for over 6 months. The school has been under construction for the whole time I've been there so that is the actual work environment.




PE fields (soccer/basketball/handball)

Teachers attendance book.
All PE teachers were late that day, including myself. :P



One of my classes name list. I have no idea how they can live with these names. Funny thing is, Mr. Crazy here is one of the most polite students in the school.
To those who can't read arabic: One of the names is pronounced "Turkey Crazy".
