End of
Yes, yes, I stopped writing. Yes, I do realise that my last post is now more than a year old. There are several simple reasons for this, the main one being that, well, the only purpose of this blog was to feed news back to friends and family in Malaysia about my life as a student at UKC. And, now that I've finished being a student and have been back home in Malaysia more or less semi-permanently since October 2006, there's no more reason to keep this blog up. Yes, a bit sad really. When I first arrived in Canterbury I'd originally envisioned ending up with a whole lot more posts than this.
But, the reality of it was that after awhile I simply ran out of things to talk about. What can I say? That MSc was a mind-numbingly intense 12 months which simply sucked away any semblance of a life that I may have strived to have. After the novelty wore off things settled into a routine of: classes, assignments, studying for exams, stressing out, sleepless nights, stressing out with your classmates/housemates, sleepless nights with your classmates/housemates.....you get the picture.
Everything passed by in an immensely quick blur...I didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything much, didn't travel, didn't meet up with the people I was supposed to meet....and, at the end of it, here I am back in Malaysia. Full circle. Sigh.
Oh well. For those of you I may have neglected to keep updated, I am well. I'm now working full-time for Wild Asia (see webpage link in my profile), on a project looking at enhancing biodiversity in oil palm landscapes oh joy....no no it's not all that bad, honest really. Really. Even if I do have a deep and eternal loathing for oil palm and feel that it has forever irrevocably scarred the face of my beautiful country.....
Oh, and bats? Yes, I'm still interested. Still hoping to get more involved in research. We'll see how that goes, won't we? It depends on how this whole year goes, I guess. In the meantime, I'm just taking it one day at a time. And for those of you who need to look me up, well, I'm around, and should be till the end of the year at least. You can still reach me on my old mobile number.
Will I ever write again?? Let's see what this new year will bring shall we...
