I did an essay on optimality in bird migration. On the fuel load, stopovers and predation risk. I read 31 papers, and cited half of them. I was inspired then... to collect all sorts of specialist papers relevant to the local (Singapore) fauna... and come up with some sort of databank or knowledge base, not for scientists but for the layman or average naturalist wanting to find out more. But that's just a vision. I'll have to do that before my MyAthens account expires.

I know what I want to do now, after this year. MSc in Science Communication. It's a bit of everything - journalism, PR and public affairs, media work, broadcasting, science policy, science controversies, ethics.

While I have time I try to squeeze in the TVB series <<酒店風雲>> (Revolving Doors Of Vengeance)... such a gripper, that one. I haven't watched such stuff in ages. That's over now, and I'm now on <<冲上云霄>> (Triumph In The Skies).

Here's something for Star Wars and gaming fans: the recently-released demo for SW Empire at War, an RTS.

Meanwhile it's all this festive Chinese spirit - CNY dinners, gatherings and all those new year goodies and nian gao. This weekend is packed.
