Thai's Personal Bio | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hi, my name is Thai T. Bui. I live in the Alaska Junction area of West Seattle, Washington. I've lived in W. Seattle since October of 1998 when I bought my home. I've lived in Washington State for most of my life. My hometown is Olympia, Washington, but in 1992, I moved to Seattle, Washington, where I went to the University of Washington to get my Business and Accounting Degree. I also received a Certificate of Internation Business Studies in German. Besides Washington, I have also lived in Paris, France; Bern, Switzerland; Hanau (Near Frankfurt), Germany; and Munich, Germany. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Currently I work at the University of Washington Medicine IT Services as their Systems Administrators Lead for TSO (Technical Services and Operations). Here at the IT Services, we support several hospitals: Harborview Medical Center (HMC), UW Medical Center (UWMC), and Roosevelt Medical Center and also outlying clinics. We also support SCCA (Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) and work with other regional hospitals. My job consists of leading the operations team for the UW Medicine. I also own my own computer consulting company. I do things like building pcs, fixing them, and also networking stuff like crimping cables and laying cabling My major client is a furniture company in Seattle. It's a great store and the furniture is all made of wood. No particle boards or veneer finishes. It's the stuff you want to buy if you want to keep it for centuries to come. Don Willis is the company. Tell them I sent you. Did I mention I also sometimes work at a Mongolian Restaurant, Chang's Mongolian Grill on Broadway. One of my close friend is the assistant manager there and one day she needed help so she asked me if I was interested. I said, "sure why not," and that was that. I then became the "if all else fails" emergency worker. I work when someone can't work or there's a shift that needs to be covered. It's fun, I get to meet interesting people and it's up on Capital Hill. |

My life started on the 13th of December at 00:20 am, in the big city of Saigon (Vietnam). I was born in the year of the dog and that has always been my character. I'm also a Sagittarius which is truly evident in my worldly travels and adventures. I was the fifth child of the Bui clan and everyone knows what that means; I was very much an independent child, who always seemed to be busy at work. I was the only child to start earning an allowance by cleaning up at home. All my other brothers and sisters were spoiled and didn't have to work to get money. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My hometown is Olympia, Washington. I went to South Bay Elementary and North Thurston Hight School In school I was a very active student. I was involved with the school orchestra, the ASB, and many other clubs. I was president and Vice president of several clubs such as the Kiwanis Youth Group and the Foreign Language Club. I was also heavily into music with the Chamber Orchestra and also as Concertmaster during my sophomore year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If I had to describe me, I would say I'm nerdy;(just have me laugh for you) but full of adventure. I love gadgets and playing around with things. I love to have dinner parties and cook for friends. I'm always getting myself into trouble. I love parties and just hanging out with family and friends. I'll try anything once. For me it's not what you do, but who you do it with. I also love kids and would like to adopt if I can find the perfect life partner. I think it takes at two to start a family. Until then I've got my nephews and nieces to corrupt. Did I mention I'm funny. Compatibility signs: Aries, Leo, Libra and Aquarius |

Hobbies | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My hobbies include biking, dancing, going to musical and plays, seeing orchestra productions and just talking with friends. Friends and family are very important aspects of my life. Without them, I would probably go crazy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I love going to see the Mariners in action. Seattle just built a new stadium for the Mariners and it's pretty cool. I believe it's the biggest retracting stadium in America I also like outdoorsy things like camping and skiing and snowboarding and whitewater rafting. It's the adventurer in me Did I also mention that I love languages and travelling. I've been to a lot of places. I try to travel somewhere at least every 3 months. I can speak German, French, and English. I've also dabbled with Spanish, Danish, Russian, Italian, Sign-Language. I say dabble, cause I just never really caught on to them. I can also speak a little Vietnamese. I understand better than I can speak. My favorite place is Budapest, Hungary. Though if I had to live anywhere else besides Seattle, I would probably choose Copenhagen, Denmark. Places that I haven't been but would like to go are Russia and Australia. I just need to make some friends so I can have an excuse to visit. |

Music is also an important piece of my life. I love all types of music from country, to opera, to classic rock, to rave. You name it and I probably like it. My favorite singer is Luis Miguel. My favorite song is "Somebody" by Depeche Mode. My favorite composer is J.S. Bach. I play the violin, viola and a little piano. Eventually I would love to learn to play the Sax. I want to take private viola lessons again and maybe join an orchestra. |
