Simon's Daily CRUD

       Wow, cant believe its almost end of the year.  It just seem like yesterday was the New Year eve of 07. Well, as we heading towards the Holiday season, we can expect much decrease in consumer spending for the economic situation we are in right now. As for 2009, we can look forward for many positive things that can give us hope for great thing to come. One of them have to be the new president, I am with Obama 100%,  I can sense that he will lead this country to where it was 8 years ago.
       As for me, im almost done with my first semester of college, getting ready for the Finals as we heading toward mid December. My winter break consist of going to China for two weeks, and hopfully coming back for Macworld 2009. Talking about Mac, its been almost 3 weeks since i got my new Macbook Pro.  As of right now, i had to said that this is a very well bulit machine and well worth the money. It took me a little time to get use to the keyboard, but overall i had a great experience converting from PC to Mac.

After nearly two years of waiting, im finally typing on a brand new Macbook Pro!

its October, and I am a freshman this year at Christian Brother University. A local University here in Memphis, TN.
Majoring both in Computer Science and Biology.  Its only been 6 weeks, but the work load has already been stressful and crazy. College does feel more open then high school, still trying to meet new people and make some new  friends. I probably only staying here in Memphis the first year, and transfer to somewhere else during my sophomore year. The main reason is to focus on my

Since the beginning of college, i been trying to buy a new laptop. Im a PC user  switching to a Mac, mainly for Creative reason. I been waiting months for this rumored new Macbook Pro, which featured this new case design and some kind of glass trackpad. The rumor date is set for Oct 14th, which is next week, but there's no concrete information on this date. Im almost tired of this long wait. The current Macbook Pro is not bad at all, but i am just looking for a better Graphic card. The current Geforce 8600GT had many issues and problems, which is stopping me from buying it. I got my finger cross for next tues =D

Finally im going back to shanghai this winter break!!, its been 4 years since my last visit. Im really excited and pump!

Edit

Macbook Event has offically announced for next Tuesday! Im so happy and glade that the 8 months wait is finally over! I been visiting many Mac Rumor sites none stop those 8 months, from MacRumors to 9to5Mac its been a long journey. The recent rumors expected that the new Macbook pro consist a glass trackpad and also support for Blu-Ray. so i probably gonna head over right over to Apple Store right after my classes on tues!

Well..its always on my mind..
so i guess its time to actually film this
i wrote the script early last year...but never finds the time
for production

The short film titled "The All-Nighter" explains
the true reason why some of us never get
a proper rest on a school night...lol

The Teaser

Release Date : April 1

In the coming month, a major movie is gonna hit theater around the world that's loosely based on the famous Chinese folktale "The Journey to the West"(西游记;). In the history of KungFu Cinema, this is the first movie that will includes both Jackie Chen (成龙) and Jet Li (李連杰), as project named itself the J-J project.

I heard the news early of last year, and was very excited that they are gonna remake this classic tale. In the past few years, movies like "Crouching Tiger and the Hidden Dragon", "Heroes", and "House of Flying Daggers" all received outstanding praise for to show that foreign movies are better then nowadays Hollywood ripoff.

Seriously, Hollywood has been doing nothing but ripoff foreign movies and make remakes......?? ok ..lets continue.. anyway the name of the movie is called "The Forbidden Kingdom" or (功夫之王), as march of last year, this movie was still under a Asian director, and still staying true to the storyline. The chaos begins when the film company wanna this movie to reach an larger audience and done the unthinkable....switch the director to a total noob....Rob Minkoff ...who made the Stuart Little films...yeah..

the horror continuous as Rob Minkoff completely changed the script and insert a RANDOM WHITE DUDE into an ALL ASIAN CAST...?? wtf?? not only did the main storyline changed, but now the WHOLE MOVIE is all about this white dude from boston. the folktale sets back in the early 1500's, and the plot is pretty self explainable if ur chinese...

What i thought to be the most epic movie of 2008, turn out to be the most
laugh about movie of 08...sign.. but the fact that both legend are still in this movie, and for the first time we get to see Jackie Chen VS Jet Li + the SUPER HOT CRYSTAL LIU ...will be the only reason i will spend 9bucks on this piece of crap....(yeah paradiso charges 9bucks for a movie now)

After all those years, my favorite adaptation of this classic tale was the famous
animation title "Havoc in Heaven" or (大闹天宫) that was made in the 1960's

o ..also the movie lost its native language....its in English...lol

For the past two weeks i been working on a Website, for a organization my friends and i started last summer.
The title is MCLP (Multi-Cultural Learning Program)..in short term is bunch of asian get together and so SAT programs
..yeah..but here's the website http://www.mclp.info. It took me nearly two weeks! to code/design, and almost a month for planing. The website also server a purpose for college know my skills in web design.

Well both CES AND MACWORLD happened in the previous weeks. Which i was disappointed that  APPLE didnt update their Macbook Pro line, but instead came out this ultra thin notebook called Macbook Air...which i see there's
no use..except the fact that is the world thinnest laptop...I guess i just have keep on waiting..urg,,,
..which is my freaking QUAD CORE MACBOOK PRO>>!!!

ITS ABOUT TIME!, I can finally Drive! For the past week i been driving everywhere, my ride is an 2001 Honda Accord DX, which was my mom's. ahah,  Beside, now i can finally goto my friends parties, events, and movies without worry about getting a ride. On the topic of cars, EA NFS Prostreet is coming up, which NFS is about to move away from cops chasing theme..underground*  to a more world legal racing still based on import tune cars. i guess we will see how this all play out.

School is stupid as ever, with colleges apps, i been sleeping late as 4 in the morning. My internal clocks has shifted at least 4 to 5 hours...so basically  i been falling asleep in class and just about everywhere else. College Apps is really painful, with all the datelines,esp i always do stuff on the last minutes. Just yesterday, i took my final SAT, which i prey and prey to get above 2000!!  Which mean i still have  chance  at getting into Georgia Tech.

Well lastly, since i about to move, and getting a room...my own *real* room... lol anyway my parents is allowing to decorate on my own. My main theme is to be japanese like and part animish. so thats why ...getting a KATANA!! lol
not just any katana, it's a 天鎖斬月(Tensa Zangetsu)! which is ichgo BanKai ~ which the blade is black sweet!!
and the fact that sword demon is having a closeout sale on this sword, so i am pretty excited!!

 

Well, who knows, i am a senior already, Time is one thing that i would like to get it back...
this  year is the year where are college apps and seniorists kicks in, man only 6th week of week i already
start to slack off. Applying to college is a painful experience, with all the dateline and mostly the ESSAY!!
i just wish that Georgia Tech would be kind and accept me. SAT/ACT are also pain in the ass, i still dont like college just depend on this useless test to determine the final decision. ARG~!    Seriously College needs to Know that not all student test well...sigh

Beside College, My family are moving to a new house. YAY! which i finally get to move out of this crazy/dangerous neighborhood. =) But the Actual moving part is just pain, since moving always a big headache. I love my new house, which i finally get a room that actually fits me, well as in height. ...i only weight about 160..for 6ft1  I guess that would be normal... for that range..hehe 

Lastly, its about Apple new iPods, which i been waiting for every since i heard the words "touch" and "iPod"  but instead of me getting really excitied and will try anything to buy it, i was shock and disappointed..ONLY 16GB of SPACE!! and it look like cheap iphone...they should design some entirely new. plus from reviews the screen is worse then the iPhone. I probably gonna kept on waiting (thx alot apple)... till atleast they have a 30gb version..hope very soon...like NEXT MONTH!! lol

Well i think its time for a update...

Summer is about to slip away, as school ready to begin...thinking that i am senior is making me wonder how i wasted my entire high school career doing nothing except making bad grades. The one thing that i realize this summer was that all those years for i think i was some computer nerd was false, apparently computer is not my thing...anymore

Life gets harder as time passes. feeling that in a blank of a eye i will be some middle age man working at some software company is really making me wanna do something big. i mean google start as two geeks research project become now a multi billion dollar monster. ..right?
ahh... i guess dreams are only for those who are not lazy and stupid...
