I seldom write about summer to autumn, most of the time I write about winter to spring or spring to summer. I used to think that it is so sad when the sun cease to shine, and the sky is most of the time dark. The leaves start to turn yellow and fall. However, surprisingly I start to see it with another perspective. Instead of yellowish and dead, I find the colour - gold and classical. I guess I am getting use to the four seasons.

How do you look for the information you need? Well, I learnt from young that if you do not understand or do not know then ask. There is even a Malay proverbs that says "malu bertanya sesat jalan" meaning if you are shy to ask then you will lose your way. I do remember through my studies, I will check out do some self study or so ... and if I still do not understand I will ask my friends, tutors or lecturers. During my working years, if I think one of my colleague knows better in that area, I will simply ask him or her.

I learnt this about a year ago and realised how important this is - If you want to work on something, make sure you read the papers published by your professors and colleagues. I just realised that actually what ever I am doing right now cannot be completely based on my own idea. Well, perhaps I am a little naive. In the very beginning when my professor asked me to think of a topic, I thought I have to come up with something new and different.

I have a thought to put my "Graduation Speech" articles in a book. Perhaps that can give some insight between Oriental and German culture :)

This will be a compilation of things I will say during my graduation speech, if I ever graduate :)
