“25″ random things about me

Man, I’ve also been tagged by Heang, to write 25 random things about me.

Let’s seee:

1. I love window-shopping at electronic stores.
2. I love watching movies; action (shooting, fighting, driving and dancing), comedy, manly drama movies, and I don’t like watching movies like Saw 1-5 series, or The Grudge and etc, but I do like Final Destinations 1-3 eh.
3. No matter how busy I am, I must have time to spend alone: quiet and non-active: like sleeping or staring at my computer and think.
4. The cliche one: I love music, and I listen music to sleep.
5. I rarely turn off my laptop; if and only if I go out AND do not need to take it with me I would turn it off.
6. I bring my laptop to the restroom with me
7. I am a Web 2.0 devotee.
8. First, I wanted to be a businessman. Then, I wanted to be a computer programmer. Now, I want to be a web programmer, but also an Entrepreneur. In the future, I don’t know.
9. I admire persons with sense of humor.
10. Games! Surprise? I am an addictive and royal gamer. I play only, my favorites, Fifa Soccer series (and Pro Evolution), Need For Speed, Counter Strikes (no more ever), and Warcraft III. I will never play another game title, ever.
11. I think twice before saying nothing.
12. I’m talkative with my friends. Seth Toch almost hung himself because once I was talking nonstop like 6 hours while playing games.
13. I had a blog since 2005, a Friendster blog. I even forgot I did.
14. I hate MATHEMATICS although I used to be a math tutor.
15. I believe: “Among three people, there is at least 1 person who can be your teacher.” (from Chinese school)
16. My favorite numbers are 2 and 27.
17. I used to have crushes on four girls at the same time.

…….

…….

25. My English nickname is Vincent, but please keep calling me ksann.

WHEW.. I am going to tag another 25 people? Save your breath, and you’re welcome; I won’t tag any one of you. I don’t even have 25 friends. LOL for god’s sake.

best,

-sann.

Not Meant to Be – Theory of a Deadman

It’s time for a little music. Enjoy :D

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

It’s never enough to say I’m sorry
It’s never enough to say I care
But I’m caught between what you wanted from me
And knowing that if I give that to you
I might just disappear

Nobody wins when everyone’s losing

It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, I can’t change your mind
I know it’s like trying to turn around on a one way street
I can’t give you what you want
And it’s killing me
And I, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be

It’s never enough to say I love you
No, it’s never enough to say I try
It’s hard to believe
That’s theres no way out for you and me
And it seems to be the story of our life

Nobody wins when everyone’s losing

It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, I can’t change your mind
I know it’s like trying to turn around on a one way street
I can’t give you what you want
And it’s killing me
And I, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be

There’s still time to turn this around
You could building this up instead of tearing it down
But I keep thinking
Maybe it’s too late

It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, I can’t change your mind
I know it’s like trying to turn around on a one way street
I can’t give you what you want
And it’s killing me
And I, I’m starting to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be

It’s like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you’re always mad
And I, baby I’m sorry to see
Maybe we’re not meant to be

Macbook Wheel on The Onion


Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

..

Alright. The Onion Network is a fake news network. There is NO such Apple product coming out.

Note the contradicting commentaries in the video. For example, “just a few hundred clicks away” “it couldn’t be simpler, HUH?” “the computer is virtually unbreakable unless drop or hit.” And also notice the price.

I have already ordered a 40GB Macbook wheel :lol:

Daily Products

It’s quite wise to create a list of products that you solely and daily depend on and that it makes your life much easier.

Year 2009: Products that I can’t live without.

Electronic

iPhone 3G – Not the very “iPhone 3G” itself but with the following applications:

  • Calendar – (iPhone Native Application) that is synced to my Macbook’s iCaldenar so then my UCLA class schedule is downloaded and available on my iPhone.
  • Fring – Mobile IM
  • RSS Reader – that keeps me update of currents news.
  • Showtimes – an application for iPhone 3G that allows me to check out nearest theaters information and movie times on the go.
  • Youtube (iPhone Native Application) – then I can listen (watch) to any music on-the-go anytime (of course with the must-have AT&T Wireless plan).
  • Websites

    aimini

    for via-web-browser music downloading. Aimini is of sorts like imeem, but it’s limited with much smaller library. However, it’s worth a query search if you want to download a song that you can’t get a hit on or afraid of using P2P-software such as Limewire.

    Dictionary

    when I’m blogging, I often am suspecting a word spell or thesaurus (since I’m not a native English speaker). And, Dictionary.com does it well.

    Firefox

    my preferred internet browser since I’ve known it.

    Hi5

    the number 1 social network for Cambodians.

    Hulu

    since I don’t adopt a TV-watching habit, I access most of my favorite TV series via Hulu. [Yes I don't watch TV at all. See how cool am I?]

    imeem

    I hear a cool music in my car, memorize the title, and hit it on imeem.

    Meebo

    so I can IM in a computer lab or a public computer with internet access.

    Photobucket

    storing photo in the cloud for sharing and embedding into my blog, although lately I’ve been using Flickr.

    Techcrunch

    my favorite tech news blog.

    Wikipedia

    endless online knowledge.

    Wordpress

    my preferred blogging engine, for the sake of open source and feature-rich.

    Youtube

    where I kill my times.

    Google and it’s products:

  • iGoogle - or Google Personalized Homepage is my favorite web portal.
  • Gmail – I have tried at least thousands, if not several, of email services such as Yahoo, Hotmail, Myway, Mail, and AOL, but when I came to Gmail in 2006, I’m stuck there forever by it’s friendly and simple user interface, organization, features such as labels and filters, and speed. By speed I mean, I have had experience with Hotmail, which took ages to send an attachment and even now in MSN messenger, and Yahoo, which also took ages to send an attachment, but Yahoo Messenger file-sending works quite impressive now, and both services’ (Hotmail and Yahoo Mail) sloppy user interfaces/layouts and loading time.
  • Gmail Draft Folder – I think it is noteworthy since I mostly upload a file into Gmail Draft Folder so that I can access it later. Till now, I still can’t find a web application that does the job fast.
  • Google Groups – for academic purposes such as group projects and team research.
  • Software

    Limewire

    needless to say what it does.

    Macintosh Front Row

    where I solely use for checking out new theatrical movie trailers, directly from my Macbook.

    Warcraft III and the Frozen Throne

    that I use to play a custom map, called Dota-Allstars or Defense of the Ancients. The only game I play nowadays.

    [updated]
    Oh yeah. For Video IM, right now I’m using Yahoo Messenger. It’s the only option since MSN Messenger Mac Version does not support Video IM, or does it? I would switch to iChat (Mac OS Software) if and if only all my friends switch to using Macbook or iMac. Now that’s sad. Add me to your iChat contact list if you do have it activated at [bunsann@gmail.com].

    RIAA stops filing lawsuits

    Hey guys,

    I just came from my favorite news blog. You are going to be really happy after hearing this, or NOT. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) had decided to stop filing lawsuits against illegal music downloaders. However, they (RIAA) turned our Internet Service Provider (ISP) into music-downloading police. Whenever we download a song illegally, the RIAA will report our IP address to our ISP, then our ISP will notice us about our copyright infringement activities. If we still do not adhere to the notice, the ISP will shut our internet connection down.

    In my opinion, I think this is worse. Because, sending notices is easier than battling in court, for the RIAA. Therefore, our odds are higher for getting notices instead of chances of getting into lawsuits, which is 1 in approximately 10800 people (from my English 3 class research).

    Here’s the full read.

    Dream comes true.

    Indeed. Bad dream comes true.

    I just recently realized how being stressed feels like. When you just stayed up and finished homework until 2AM, woke up at 8AM for school, and attended TA office hour everyday in order to get a piece of homework going. It’s just overwhelming. The only first thing I look for after school is my bed.

    I have spare time though. I can do a lot of things during spare time. In fact, my spare time goals are building a windows business application, hopefully for my parents’ business, and learn php with mysql (seriously lol). I usually procrastinate. I always think anything would never be too late. I am always being too optimistic even though I tried to be pessimistic. That’s why I’m reading a book called 100 ways to motivate yourself.

    One of the 100 ways is to imagine you are on your deathbed, and visualize all the people whom you would like to see before you vanish from earth. As you are passing away, you would think of the things you would have done. I did, and there are tons of things I must have accomplished by now. In my case, I should have been going to gym, I should have listened my parents for such and such, I should have sticked to my personal goals, I should have been this and that. Nevertheless, I never take it into actions.

    Now one of all my deathbed regrets rises. Wanna take a wild guess of what it is?
    If we still keep procrastinating, at the speed of life regrets will be coming obvious.
    :sigh: Still I don’t know how to cut the slack. Alright, right off to bed now.

    PS: Happy Veteran’s Day! Nah I don’t really care. All I care is: “In observance of Veteran’s Day, there is NO school.” xD
