Professor of the Day

MSN Nickname of the Day: "Professor of the Day"

Today, the 4th attempt I put myself to the level of a professor. I was awarded a bachelor degree at Jan 2003. Before I manage to get my PhD degree, today, I was conducting a Computer course -- to a group of researchers :O. And today was the 4th attempt. What a great mission 8).

There was 7 of them attending the course today. 4 males vs 3 females. The morning session was an introduction to parallel computing and serial program optimization. Boring explainations passed the time pretty fast. Occasionally just answered a few questions from the audiences. Then we came to the first hands-on exercise. (Oh my god, these guys never use Unix/Linux system before, how are they going to write programs, fainted.) Luckily, they were still able to go through the type-enter-and-seewhat hands-on that I had prepared. In the afternoon session, most of the time were covered by my partner. So, from then on, I slept at the back without making noise....Heard someone was calling my name. Ah ha, it was again hands-on session time. Aiks, if this wasnt get interrupted, I would have been having a sweet dream. What a pity moment.

I chat with the china girl after lunch time. Haha, she said I spoke like a china man, the standard is not poor at all . Am I Singaporean? Malaysian? or China PRC? ... :p

mmm...I'm getting more and more confident with my mandarin speaking. China PRC often admire Malaysian for being capable of speaking five languages -- Mandarin, English, Malay, Dilects, what else can I speak. (But what they do not know, is that Malaysians are shamefully poor in Science/Mathematics, but I just keep this to myself, not to make myself ashame.)

Well, afternoon time passed much faster than I had expected. So it was time to get ready to set off the office with indoor garden I've ever seen :o. Ops, one of the software didnt seems to run at all. Aiks, I need to show them in tomorrow session. What to do, OT time again. Ah haha, the lady online again. At least I had someone accompanying while having OT. Wasnt that the fate? If I had set off early, I wouldnt have met her online....anyway, I better get things done quick, and set off. I was hungry though no appetide to eat.

This was the End of the First Day of the Professor of the Day.
