About Me

My photo
Hi everyone, this is Quincy :) I am a freshman at National Chengchi University (NCCU), Taipei, Taiwan, majoring in Finance. Being a college student, generally speaking, it is awesome. I can have enough time for sleep(according to research, co-ed sleep on average 8.4hours per day), learn things that I’m really in to, enjoy leisure and sport activities…etc. During my leisure time, when I don’t feel like hanging out with friends or after a day of exhausted classes, I love listening to music, watching dramas, reading novels, and playing some games on my laptop or apps on my cellphone. Do you sometimes find it difficult to kill time? Here, I want to share some fun stuff that I really enjoy to you guys, and I hope you like it, too. Perhaps some of you might have tried it before, then don’t be shy to leave comments. Welcome to my blog and nice to meet you all. If you have cool things that you want to recommend me, then share it, definitely let me know.:)Thanks.

A Must Play!!! >> INCREDIBOX


This week, I want to recommend “Incredibox” to you! This website is really really awesome! As I mentioned in the title, Incredibox is a must play! What’s Incredibox? It is an online music creator. Internet users call it “the best remixing tool to arrange music online.” Here, you can form your own band with 7 members in it and arrange them to do remixing. It is really easy to use and definitely fun to play with.

First of all, you will see a naked member. Then drag an icon below to the “dude” and he will start beat boxing, singing, or whistling. There are a lot of sound effects below to compose a wide range of combinations for your band to perform. You can use up to 7 members in total.

Click on the earphone icon below the dude and you can hear a solo. Click it again to return to the "altogether" version. 

On the left up corner on the screen, you can see two icons, respectively for removing all sounds and recording your composition. I just could not stop clicking on each sound effect! Based on my experience, I think the music created by “effects-1, beats-1, melodies-1, chorus-1, voices-1, voices-2, and beats-4” in sequence is fantastic. 

 Feeling bored? Then you must click on the link and launch your own band!!

Get News, Learn English, Together!


I recently found myself not catching up on the latest news. I put the blame on the dorm not having a TV since TV was where I used to get news from. There are still for sure a lot of alternatives, such as going to the student canteen to watch the TV news there, or reading newspaper in the common room, etc. Nevertheless, I am just not in the mood of getting up “early” in the morning, walking downstairs to the common room with my pajamas, and flicking through the newspaper. Nor do I want to spend time sitting in the student canteen watching TV news instead of chatting with my friends! Recently, I found this app though. “聽英文學英語” helps me to overcome the problem! You can get the latest news every day and moreover enhance English listening and reading simultaneously. While you are receiving the news, you can also increase your English ability. What’s better than that?

The app divided English learning into three parts. When you click on it, you can see three sections, including “VOA Special English”, “VOA Standard English”, and “PBS English Program” in level sequence from top to bottom. From the slowest speaking and easiest reading VOA Special English to the fastest speaking and hardest reading PBS English Program it was designed. Spend some time using your smart phone doing something significant! What are you waiting for? Download 聽英文學英語 immediately!
