Just finished helping my sup to review an IEEE paper... Phew! Luckily this is a good one – the last one I reviewed was a nightmare (the topic itself is attractive but the discrepancies coupled with lots of sentence structure, grammatical and spelling mistakes make it difficult to read and follow).
Nothing special happens in my monotonous lab with the exception that one of our lab mate Handik is leaving us to Germany (Oestrich-Winkel, a small town about 60km from Frankfurt) tomorrow for his one-year project as a post-doc. Handik, congrats on attaining your Permanent Head Damage (PhD), ha ha…;p Nine of us went out for his farewell lunch this noon (this may not be something special for you but it is for me – frankly, I have not taken lunch with so many people after I resign and embark on this “back-to-school” journey) and was treated to an enjoyable lunch (also because it’s a great change from our routine canteen food). Not much time to write more (anyway, what more can I write)... need to get back to writing and debugging my simulation codes...
