Tong Dong

finally got my internship settled today. phew.
thank you to those who prayed for me. may God bless you richly.
thank you Mother Mary for your prayers. thank Lord for your grace.

1st half of the week, i'll work for Prof Tong.
statistics are definitely not my forte or my interests but i will try my best =)
thank God that Vincent's on the same project, though he is doing another aspect.
i know i have a guiding light during emergency!
Prof Tong leaving for China for 6 weeks this Sunday, leaving me to take the initiative =/

Dr Lai will take me for the 2nd half of the week.
Thank God for that opportunity to remain at IPS.
more qualitative work. yay! and she is a very responsible though demanding mentor.
thank God for Don to vet my ideas.

i'll only start work next week.
for now, Prof Tong has piled me with quite a few books he wrote in the past,
and 20 years worth of statistics from the national consensus. ouch.

why am i impressed with Vincent?
he is a professional statistics cruncher. and we all do know that stats is not fun.
(i think Ryan will disagree though).
he is humble, patient, soft-spoken and yet driven with self-motivation.
he is a great tutor of methodology. he is a devout Christian.
pitfall: i don't know if he is attached or not.
anyway, he is going to Uni. of Toronto to do social networks for his PhD. hugs.
i wish him all the best for his endeavours.

yes, i am attracted to intellectual successful guys.
success is open to different definitions. i have mine and trust me, they are not so material based.
but i must reiterate, Joshua is a wonderfully sweet, loving and nice guy. totally lovable and giving.
about the relationship, we will see how it goes. no promises. i can't make any.

met Ryan after school. yes, i was carrying quite a few books.
thank God Ryan brought me a paper bag. hahah.
had a good chat. really, it's the company that makes up for everything.
it's good to know what my peers are planning so i can better gauge myself.
strategic intuition, right? =) thanks Ryan!

met Dad after Ryan left. gosh... Dad is a better shopper than i am.
he can walk for miles, pop into every shop and still not tired.
my legs are aching. my brains ain't working now. miu.
