Little Conversations..

I think God knew i needed an avenue to vent on my fyp frustrations, and since matthias is bogged down with a whole load of projects, to my surprise, Thes messaged me on facebook. And so, we had a facebook chat. It's really my honour to be able to keep in touch with Thes. He's actually a phd student under Prof Mazzotti (my prof who taught me a module back in ETH Zurich); and so he was the co-tutor for the module i took. It was my most enjoyable module, partly cos i really enjoyed doing maths and Thes was always so nice and patient in explaining the concepts to me. It's funny how my SEP nostalgia also comes from school over there. I really really enjoyed classes in switzerland, even though it was tough!

Anyhow, we started chatting with the usual 'how're you', and so I started telling him about my fyp...and i think he had to take in all my whines from that short conversation. Ooops. And i started telling him how great it would be if i could do fyp under him, and how i really liked math (but not computational work)..and he said this:

"Thes: but that you like math makes you a perfect candidate for a project with us :-)"

How i wish i could do my fyp in switzerland! That would be so enriching and fun! But too bad, it wasn't meant to be. But i was really thankful for that short conversation, and the advices he gave to me...i think he could understand because he's doing post-doc himself and in the midst of research work. Thank God for that short conversation. Really am thankful to be able to keep in touch with him. Makes my SEP experience all the more worth it! :)

And that's him on the right!
