Create a thread, let the thread calculate how long it is to that
timestamp, let the thread sleep for that long, execute your method.

Things to look into:
System.Threading.Thread class
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep method
System.DateTime class
System.DateTime.Now method
System.TimeSpan class
System.TimeSpan.TotalMilliseconds method
 
Why wasting precious resources like threads for something that's provided in
the framework through the Timer delegates.
