Deliverance

hallelujah! Finally SMA is over. (On May 19th in fact.) We have submitted our last report on Parallel Computing on the 25th, and along came a huge sense of relief.

It's a wierd feeling, like hysterisis ... transitioning from highly strung to slack in an instant. The feeling takes some getting used to.

Going to take a well deserved break this June. Colleagues please do not ask me to return to work yet. Lemme enjoy my fleeting moment of tranquility before being drawn into a vortex of dates and issues.

Meanwhile, travel buddies anyone? London, Paris, Rome?

Have ... to ... run ...

From yester-year

It's been a long time!

Many things

Sophia biaomei gave birth today by C-Section. Damien Oh weighs 2720g at birth. Welcome to the world. Congrats Sophia & Anson.

Another revelation: Miss Good biaomei changes bf again. Quite impressive though, while never short of suitors, the last one lasted 4 years. 4 years of Tiffany's and what not... sigh. Her mum seems to like this new one.

Reviewing my posts since the beginning of this blog, I'm surprised that I actually wrote quite a lot in the beginning during 2003. Then came 2004, 2005 and into 2006, the number of posts dropping year after year.

Then again most of my posts are small snippets of everyday life, not the kind of thought-provoking, philosophical commentaries to be expected of a top notch author. And recently I had to commit atrocities like posting my geeky security logs, leave a failed attempt at inserting chinese characters (???) on the blog, writing about past entries ...!!!

Alright, I am supposed to be busy this past year. My relatives have been commenting why this course is taking so much out of me. Blame it on the SMA tradition of raising the bar ever higher. I just hope I can find enough in me to bring me through this one more month. Grrr.....

Got a call from IHPC... dunno what they want me for. I'm even supposed to prepare reference letters!
