Happy New Year!

Ken invited us to this bar called "In House" near the 101 to watch the count down together. Truly an awesome sight; those never seen it up close should definitely make a pilgrimage to see it. Note, don't bother trying to leave the area afterwards, traffic is just horrific, might as well enjoy a drink with friends and wait until the crowd disburses.

Initial post since I arrived...

Ah...its been a long time since I've posted. I'll start posting all the pictures I've taken so far sinace I've arrived in Taiwan since 02/2006.

For those of you dont' know, the picture you are looking at is currently the tallest building in the world, the Taipei 101. If you are in Taipei, you can see it wherever you are are. Next time you visit, make sure to take a trip to the top during the night for the view. Simply awesome.

Gorgeous Shanghai view at night .

Took this picture when I visited Shanghai early this year(March).
The view is really breathtaking. This section of Shanghai was controlled by the Europeans(mostly French) around the turn of the century. Most of the buildings are still in pristine condition.

Gas!!!

2005-06-18T07:31:00.000+08:00

Just found out this web site, www.gasbuddy.com. This site finds the cheapest gas price in your area, I have yet to try it out. Let me know the accuracy of the postings when you guys try it out.

M3 is a damn fast car

2005-06-13T09:05:00.000+08:00

Went on this run with William's M3 and my S2k last night.

Not sure on the exact path we took, but it was pretty fun. The run is about 50 min, crosses 3 cities? Its pretty easy to drive and really lets you test out the limits of your car.

Perhaps we should arrange to have a bi-monthly meet with all the local car enthusiast in Hacienda Heights.

Time to start posting on the s2ki forums to get some folks to join us.
Next time we go, I'm filling up with the 76 racing gas...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

2005-06-13T08:50:00.000+08:00

Watched it at the Fashion Island this weekend with BK, Ken & Giselle. It was over all entertaining movie. You can tell the production team really tried to get everything perfect, its not every day you can get two of the 'hottest' actor/actress together in the same movie... Problem is, things were "too perfect". I've noticed the silverware was so clean as if they were new... I guess I'm just being anal.

Second thing is, I think the scripts took the actor and actress too seriously (but of course, they are good actors, so the script took them seriously), and in return the actor and actress also took the script too seriously (because good actor/actress takes scripts seriously), so I really felt the movie could of been more funny if EVERYONE took EVERYTHING less seriously. Again, I guess that's why happens when both of them are 'so hot', and everyone tries too hard to make everything too perfect.

I give it a 3/5.

Life sucks when your computer craps out...

2005-06-10T13:10:00.000+08:00

Computer's been 'acting weird' lately. Haven't been able to log into my normal account
for the past three months. I've just been too lazy/busy to trouble shoot and redo it...

Finally got around to it this past week(or shall I say, the hard drives finally craped out...), but
the problem is, its a bitch to troubleshoot which hard drive is bad when the system
is setup in a Raid 0 config.

After four days worth of setting up win2k via the old school flopping boot + raid driver...
I've finally tracked down which hard drive is bad... RMA Commence!!!
