Thank you

I am in a much better mood these couple of days. Several reasons for this...

My mum is feeling better. I think the chemo side-effects are wearing off a bit, until her next session anyway, so she doesn't feel so tired now. Hopefully the treatment is working.

I went for a hair-cut today. My first time going to the new place. My hairstylist moved there recently so I 'followed' her. Been putting up with a messy look while in Taiwan and I think I look more 'refreshed' now with the new cut.

I feel very inspired after coming back from Taiwan. There are lots of things I want to get done at work - thinking through project ideas, reading research papers, organising my notes and messy files, thinking about the future etc etc. I actually brought home a stack of papers to read over the weekend! I realised that there are still so many things I am ignorant about or maybe just scrapping the surface, and I am keen to catch up by reading up as much as possible.

I have one person to thank - your calls and emails really helped me a lot.

And not forgetting the encouragement from my friends, even though I have only known some of you for a year or less. I appreciate all your comments, sms and well-wishes very much. Thank you :-)
