A treat for myself
Just yesterday, I bought myself two books. Well, the initial intention is to get Aya something since she's been so supportive of myself and my priorities. It dawned on me that perhaps I should get her something as a show of my appreciation and affection for her. So perhaps a book or two for her would be good, especially when she's bored in Sydney after studying and sleeping like a ^0^ heheh...

I'm gonna get a big whacking for this ..
So the first that I bought was Michael Moore's 'Dude, where's my country?'. Well, here's a free chapter. The second one is 'The curios incident of the dog in the night-time' by Mark Haddon. Here's another free chapter. Both have funny titles and should be quite interesting books.
I bought them at WHSmith in Civic, opposite the Canberra Centre. Apparently they are having sales there now and I bought a cool pop-up booklight with just 5 bucks since I bought over 30 bucks of books. It's so cool that I want to get another one or two. So I called them up to see if I can still purchase th booklight at the same price and they said, 'Yes!' Will be dropping by to grab them.
In the mean time, the Business Office of the research school has approved my conference/personal trip in November so I will be booking my flight pretty soon.
On a different note, ProjectYuka had been iced. This wasn't much too unexpected because we lack the time and actually the commitment to pursue this. So to cut our losses down, we decided that the best thing to do is to let keep this suspended for the time being while each of us go our separate ways. Maybe in 2/3 years time, we might have the financial support, technical know-how and the time to work on this. The market will probably change and we will adapt. This was just a good learning experience for me in terms of entrepreneurship, IP management and company start-up experiences.
