Getting It Right

I used to have this ambition to master so called "Science" when I was young, but the more I study, the more I realise how naive I were. I remember I still had that passion during my undergraduate, and to no surprise, I opt for the PhD "road" before I graduated from university.

Thank God for letting me to fulfill my dream, for giving me the opportunity to taste a doctorate life. I think PhD shouldn't be named "postgraduate", it should be called "pre-scientist" (that's why I still won't call myself as scientist) , or with this cool name ---"pre-pre-professor" (abbreviation PPP)

I seriously can't foresee myself being a "Professor". I think these people seriously deserve the title. It's not all about how brainy you are, it's about the committment, the passionate research attitude, discipline and determination, and ultimately, is the endless-diligent-hardwork that count. My view is you can excel in any research field, no matter what sort of topic, or which research department, as long as you hold these characteristics that I mentioned.

Many people tried to convince me that PhD graduates will end up staying in the academic field or at most become a professor in a uni. My answer to that now is "I don't think I'm good enough to be the so called "professor". I'm far too lame in the world of Science. I need another 20 years to be the expert."

With God's grace, if I were to serve God one day, I will make sure that I'm equipped with the "professor's attitude". I seek for the truth, and I pray for the "fire"--- the truth that connects human to God, the fire to keep me going...

Rev Foo has been serving the Lord for about 40 years (I hope I'm right). I can't imagine myself studying crystal engineering and drugs characterisation for 40 years, nor working in IBank counting money for 40 years ---- What sort of things I can do for 40 years and never get tired? Please help me Lord...

I will give up anything if I found one....I'm serious.

Have you found something that you would like to do for 40 years?
