March 28 Excusez moi, but Hall of Famemy Bachelor degree was in Energy Technology (short-handed 'ET' of which we have our distinct 'greeting gesture')
we were a group of 8 studying hard to pass the rigorous grading rule, woefully deepened by the small number of people. (doesn't help the statistics.
Years passed, and now we're in the Institute's Hall of Fame.
(at least it's our picture up there...don't know who did the bribery)
....so Bravo ETians!!
the first fellow to know and advertise:
March 19 my DNA extracted visually- attempt#2Here's a summary of me through my selection of photos that best fit my answer to a set of topical questions.
Got a similar result second time through so this site isn't fickle yet quite frivolous. I"m happy with the both as I think I'm a combination of 'Thriller' more than a 'Conqueror' type per se. Otherwise, an 'EAsy Rider', Home Soul and New Wave Puritan. That just sums the multiplex of Me.
What's more is an amazing collage of my answers...Cool

Six Degrees of SeparationI have heard it time and time again from friends and family that the world is getting smaller, that ppl you met by chance, could end up already being connected to you via a series of personal acquaintances somehow. And how surprising and unexpecting the connections could be. That it's a Small World phenomenon.
I completely agree, having experience it too. For instance, Yang was a fellow classmate who I met in the UK. Then I went to a holiday with him we stayed over at his friend's house who I've never met before. After chatting, that friend happens to be my sister's classmate in junior high. Or that Yang's ex-gf was my friend during summer training in Rayong, or that my much feared REctor at uni turned out to be my uncle's childhood buddy.
That's just Fascinating, no? So when I came upon this piece, it clicks, and I'm glad someone could sum such frequent feeling of surprised and awe when you discover the connectedness so fittingly. Here goes....
I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation between us and everyone else on this planet. The President of the United States, a gondolier in Venice, just fill in the names. I find it extremely comforting that we're so close. I also find it like Chinese water torture, that we're so close because you have to find the right six people to make the right connection... I am bound, you are bound, to everyone on this planet by a trail of six people.--
--taken from a character in a 1990 play titled Six Degrees of Separation by John Guare, an American playwrite. (The idea is similar to that of a Hungarian author, Frigyes Karinthy's 1929 short story titled 'Chains' where this connectedness leads the characters to feelings of awe, and in some ways, grief.
--So any two individuals are connected by at most SIX others. ONLY SIX. this has a particular ring to it....
and before you get bored..." I am bound, you are bound, to everyone on this planet (of 6 billion) by a trail of JUST SIX people.".... Wow
