Any bros watched SH NGC: Inside Afghan ER? Saw the show last night and was somewhat traumatized.... It tells the real life experience of a US army combat hospital team in Camp Salerano in Afghanistan sometime in 2008 when the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) and the Talibans/insurgents were slugging it out bitterly. Injured friends or foes alike were flown in via Blackhawks to be treated at the hospital which was made up of Americans. The traumatizing part was when two seriously injured 101st AB troopers, victims of a IED, were wheeled in. Their Humvee was obliterated in the process and three of their buddies were KIA on the spot. Their condition were actually very critical and the surgeon, a Lieutenant Colonel, made the painful decision to amputate all their legs as well as arms of the Lieutenant, one of the victims. The nurse then used a small electric saw and started working on one of the limbs (thankfully this footage was in B & W) after which she used both her hands to carry the sawed-off bloody human thigh to dump it in a red plastic bag to be disposed of. Once their conditions were stabilized, they were heavily sedated and readied to be flown out to Germany for a more proper medical treatment. The film crew also shot footages of Afghans, friendly and hostile, being sent in for treatment. One was a suspected insurgent and this guy was in real bad shape. He was basically gurgling in his own blood and dying of lack of breath so the medical team tried to cut an opening in his throat to help him breath but then he suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest. Despite their best efforts, the bad guy kaput and the Afghan crew then moved in to prepare the body as accordance to Afghan ritual. Really a powerful show. It showed the gruesome aspects of a bitter war where many perished and if not dead, some were maimed beyond recognition for life... [:(] One thing interesting was that some of the US army nurses were actually officers. One old man nurse was a Lieutenant while another, a woman, was a Captain.

After driving for many years on the road, I think Singaporeans have some nasty driving habit that we can do without. One of those nasty driving habit is unwillingness to allow other road users to filter into their lane. Once I was trying to filter left at Jurong Town Hall road to enter into AYE (towards town). The vehicle (lorry) on the left refuse to allow me in (I signal to filter very early but he just kept up with the pace and not allow me in). Initially I was thinking "ok, he must be thinking why should he let me in as he is also going towards the same path. Fine, I'll slow down and try to filter in after him (which I eventually did)." Guess what? He was not going to AYE, instead he was going straight towards Pandan/Teban west coast highway! Was it necessary for him to block me when I'm heading away from his route? If I was heading towards Pandan, I could just stick to my lane and not filter left. Wonder why such unfriendly driving habit... Sometimes also kena from SBS buses... I think if most can be a little friendlier on the road, there will be less anger, less accident and smoother traffic...

My brother-in-law bought a 2nd hand 2G iPhone a while ago. Today he asked me to install some apps for him. I tried to but can't seem to add apps, then I noticed the firmware is outdated at 3.0, so I update it to 3.1.3. After the update, when I turn it on, it shows "Emergency Call". Then I realised this is something to do which Hack-the-Phone, OMG. I updated the jail-broke 2G iPhone with new firmware. I quickly use iTunes to do restore, but it keep showing "SIM card not correct". Jia lat, this is big problem man, some more it's US version. Can anyone suggest what I can do to restore it back to original state?
