called home, and mom blamed me of getting slim. yes indeed, i am losing weight undeniably. no longer a puffy penguin compared what i was last year. 

 

research goes on. ideas have been sorted out. need time to perfect the theoretical analysis and then the simulation.

 

a short talk with emily last nite after losing connection for couple of weeks. hope she goes well with her decision. on the other side, she suggests some of her friends for me to meet up in DC. little pitty she wont appear at that time.
