This picture looks nice and unique. Credit to the skillful hand of art, Aqmal. I no longer have the watch I wore in the picture. Yet I’m still wondering. Now I wonder why Aqmal still keeps my picture. At that time I was wondering where I should go, Melbourne, Monash, Queensland or…?

Now I wonder again. Wouldn’t that ambigous? People have been asking me about my future. What I’m going to do aftergraduating; marriage, getting PhD or what. Hm.. It seems I could not impede their curiosity. Let me tell you the story. It might be rubbish, or might be motivating to some people.

Now I’m 20 yrs old, approaching 21 actually if u know how to deal with the limit. Another 2 yrs, I’ll be graduating from Melbourne Univ with B.Sc. in Chemistry, at 23 yrs old. Then I’ll do KPLI for 1 years, and proceed to teaching at secondary school for 8 yrs. But hold on, MOE said if I wanna pursue studies to post-grad, then I have to serve for 3 yrs, by then I’m at 27.

Aha..the clock is ticking. To some people it’s very long time. But what if I apply special relativity here, because the time is relative. To me, 4 years is just like 4 months. It’s very fast, provided u must move near the speed of light. Sorry, I got carried away.

At 27, I start applying for PhD or Masters at least. Another 4 years, I’ll complete my PhD; still at the age of work, 32. Opss, hopefully I can do my PhD in Germany, ETH (polytechnique institute) Zurich, or Max-Planck Institute or Univ of Munich. I’ve been looking for post grad subjects there very often. But if the policy changes, I might finish PhD at 35. Then back to Malaysia, I want to fill vacancies at USM or UKM.

Aha..now I’m really secured. I got a PhD, job, perhaps a home by then; I’m sick of being homeless, Lutfi knows how it feels. Now I can start thinking about marriage. Stil thinking who should I marry later. Aha..dah boleh kawin. But recapp, it takes time to plan everything. Menjelaskan fikrah suami isteri. At least I can safely get married at 40 yrs old. 

Umur 40 baru boleh kawin. Lagi 20 tahun tuh. Sekarang baru 21. Tak payah fikir lagi. Now let’s turn my attention to general relavity and cosmos. How would you solve this perplexing and paradox problems when string theory is no longer a candidate for GUT/TOE (Grand Unification Theory/ Theory of Everything).

Sementara masih ada masa sebelum umur 40, sebelum dapat kawin dgn selamat, mari bekerja keras. I’m at the age of work. Selesaikan satu-satu dulu. Selesaikan degree, PhD, grand unification thoery, quantum mechanics and quantum gravity, then kawin lah.

Aha…I can’t wait to win Nobel Prize. See Aqmal, how dedicated I’m. Now it’s time to put my hand on my head again, start wondering where the missing pieces of of universe is. Of course theoretical physicist don’t like it.
