intermission

i've been thinking of creating a new blog which is public -- unlike this one which is now private due to too much personal information -- which i can then share my random thoughts. oh it feels so good to be typing like this. else, my thoughts have no way of release out of this mind. many things have happened in this past month. this month started with my viva voce which completed successfully and it shall end with the submission of the final theses.

i finally now can detach myself from the uninspiring production environment and i now no longer go to work and "pretend" to work as i did for the past couple of months, now that my masters is really over and done with. i certainly hope that my next move will not be such a downer, but hoping is not enough. i must work for it, to maintain a positive attitude and to persevere on for the next 3 years to obtain a PhD.

there are many times when i would be full of confidence; undeniably, there are also times where i would lose it and be filled with doubt. for it is a large step, to move away from my comfort zone right into the heart of new zealand. however, i am comforted by the fact that people there are renowned for their friendliness, and i have confidence that this next step is right for me.

as Queen writes in "We are the Champions", "you gave me fame and fortune and everything that goes, i thank you all. but it's been no bed of roses... no pleasure cruise. i consider it a challenge to my human race that i never lose!"
