*for the past 11 months (from 8 February 2008 to 8 January 2009) it happen to be the most wonderful time of my life, the most depression time of my life and the feeling...joy, happiness, love, frustration, friendship teach me a lot about the reality of life. So far I’m not yet considered as a lecturer, I still have a long way to go...PhD and all, but I will never give up nor let something or someone to be the obstacle for my dream....to be an academician.
