My inventory of Android apps

12/6/10: So thanks to the "Related" tab in the Android Market, I've been checking out different apps again lately to replace some of the current ones that I've been using. I LOVE this feature!!! Why did it take so long for them to come up with this?? Anyway, my app list now looks like this...

8/8/10: Here's what I have in my phone so far:

Ugh...

So that dude's insurance State Farm is going to pay for the repairs and rental car.  I'm glad that my car is finally in the shop getting repaired, but man, this is probably one of the ugliest rental cars I've driven!

聽呢首歌令我諗起Jeremy! "是美男啊", 好睇!

Can't be too nice sometimes

So here's what happened with the accident 2 months ago. After the guy hit my car, we of course got out of the car and exchanged information. At that time he told me that he's a driver (drives for a living) so it would be great if we can settle this ourselves so it doesn't go on his record. I said ok, told him I'll go get some estimates and let him know. He said he's insured by State Farm but he doesn't have the insurance information with him. I thought, fine, since we weren't gonna go through insurance anyway.

End of that week I met with him to go over the estimates. He once again apologized and expressed his desire to settle this outside of insurance since he drives for FedEx. He said if I don't mind, he'll pay me in installments of $500 each week for 3 weeks. I said ok. He seems like a nice person and seems like he's willing to take the financial responsibility so I trusted him (plus he was driving a Land Rover the day of the accident and a BMW when he came to meet with me, so it doesn't seem like the type that's really poor).

Three weeks had gone by and I haven't received a single penny or any phone calls from him. I tried calling him a few times, but everytime it rang until the voicemail came up. Left him messages. No reply. By the end of the month I figured if anything happened, he would have at least called by then. I called FedEx to see if they can give me his office number and perhaps be able to reach him. The lady on the phone said she couldn't find him in the employee directory! So I finally called my insurance to file a claim. As a courtesy, I left him a mesasge and told him that was what I did. The next day, the guy called me back and said someone in his family passed away so he wasn't able to contact me (seriously, for 3 weeks?!) He said he still wanted to settle that with me outside of insurance and he has the money ready for me. I didn't really want to trust this guy anymore (what if he ignored my calls again, or he gave me fake money, or his cheque bounced or something...) , so I told him I'd already filed a claim and he can talk to my insurance adjuster. He said he understands, and he'll talk to the adjuster.

Two more weeks passed. The adjuster wasn't able to contact him. He said they will send out a field adjuster for a "meet and greet" session and basically tell him that he needs to give out his insurance information. The adjuster said at this point he has no mercy for this guy and he asked for this embarrassment himself.

Yesterday the adjuster finally called me back and they were able to get his insurance information. He said State Farm wanted to talk to me and asked me to call them. I talked to a person at State Farm and they wanted to confirm the date of accident, because it seemed like that guy ran and got insurance that afternoon when the accident happened, and he told State Farm that the accident happened the day after, so State Farm wanted to know if his insurance was in effect when the accident occurred. Wow, I wasn't expecting this! See, you can't be too nice to people sometimes. Now I wish someone can just give me the money so I can get my car fixed!

SMTown Live in LA

前兩星期去看了SMTown的演唱會. 很好看呢! 看完之後很興奮, 不但因為終於能有機會看到SJ的演出, 其他的表演者像SHlNee那些也很棒啊! 最可惜的是因為不太熟悉新相機的操作, 所以照片拍得不太好, 而且很多重要的moment都miss掉沒拍到. 好像銀赫跟神童從觀眾席旁的階梯走上台的時候, 他們就從我身邊走過! 可惜沒拍到! 還有就是前頭可能太興奮了, —直在拍, 到後來演唱會還有30分鐘但我的相機已經沒電了! 始源李特圭賢走到我前面的台邊也不能拍! 氣死我了! Anyway it was a good show! Glad that I went!

Pics I took at the concert

韓劇

最近看了4齣韓劇,發覺其實韓劇也挺好看的. 以前可能常聽人家說韓劇裡的人整天在哭,所以可能把它stereotype了. 因為SJ的關係看了始源的Oh! My Lady,之後再看了希澈的愛你千萬次都還不錯啊! 然後看了一些review,好像IRIS也不錯,又看了. 雖然結局有點悲慘,但其實也是一部不錯的片. 再然後是因為覺得IRIS裡的金素妍演得挺好的,所以看了檢察官公主. 很好看呢! 她這兩部片子的角色反差也太大了吧! 對韓劇完全改觀了! 現在在看灰姑娘的姐姐, 之後打算看面包王金卓求! 期待金素妍和愛你千萬次的鄭糠雲主演的Dr. Champ, 還有又有始源的Athena: Goddess of War!

今期驚喜... 東城衛!

其實我比較喜歡"分裂"多過這一首.

My poor car...

真係多災多難! And I just fixed it! This time got rear-ended.  無言!

The (convenience) food post

A lot of people know that I don't cook very often, so I get the question of "What do you usually eat then?" all the time. So what do I eat (besides instant ramen)? Stuff that can be easily prepared (boiled, microwaved, or baked), usually frozen. I think I have enough food in the freezer that can last me a whole month! I've decided to write this up cos' contrary to common believe, some of these do taste pretty good. Here's what I have in the fridge right now (rating is on a 5-point scale, and strictly based on my personal taste):

New Found Favorite

呢期比較喜歡聽嘅,除咗SJ 4輯之外, 就係CN Blue:

Battery drain

能量指數持續下降, 是新藥的副作用嗎? 好想現在回家啊...

This eyesore apparently is going to take $800 to fix... dang... that's one round-trip ticket to Japan right there.

唉!

又揩花o左架車! 好沮喪!!

Conversation with Mom

Mom: You don't drink, right?
Me: Er...
Mom: You shouldn't drink.
Me: ... Ok...
Mom: Ok, maybe you can have a little bit for your birthday! (Laughs)

Tufte tufte

Finished the 2nd Tufte book! Woohoo! I think the first one is better, but still a great book nonetheless: Envisioning Information

Update on 6/3/10: Book 3 finished (actually finished it probably a week or 2 ago)! But I have to say I was very lost after reading it! I still think the first one is the best.

又是新的一年

大掃除還沒有finish, 一轉眼已是年初九了. 新的一年暫有2個resolution:
1. 是要認真地閱讀被丟棄在書櫃裡,多年來買下的日語教學書籍. 不是說要全部看完, 因為實在買了很多, 但至少get started!
2. 又是書! 就是Edward Tufte 4本關於data visualization的書! 決心要全部看完!
祝我好運! 哈哈!
