Faith + Joy = 4 + 2

Happy birthdays to my two beautiful girls...



Thanks to Daniel & UV for the photos.

The pendulum

Logged on to the website of the Dept of Biological Sciences, NUS. It seems that they've hired more faculty specialising in Ecology.

So much for the dark years when biodiversity researchers were left out of the mainstream.

In 1984-ville, it seems, even academia is subjected to the pendulum of fashionability. When will they get it in their heads that people, especially the nutty ones who'd crawl through some hole full of bat guano, do things out of passion and not for the promise of well-paid job.

The weather in Shanghai

So the locals tell me that there are only 2 seasons in Shanghai: summer and winter.

Had a taste of what it means over the past 24 hours. It was 28 degrees yesterday and it will be 9 degrees tonight. And I hear there's heavy snowfall on Beijing.

Crazy.

The kids are enjoying it though...

This one goes out to you

Yes, to you, the only student whom I'm impressed with during my short teaching stint.

Never mind about rude Chemistry professors and stalkers. Have fun going to see the Phoenix...

Happy 44th

To all the hardworking people of Singapore, we'll make things happen regardless...

Power to the People!
