Brilliant blue days

As I was coming into work, I noticed how sunny and blue-skied today is. Reminds me a little bit of Melbourne. So nice.

My birthday party has been settled. A nice little KPT (kueh pie tee) party with my near-and-dears. Yay! After an entire month of just running around, I’m looking to enjoy finishing it with a nice night of celebrations.

You can be in the same family for years but you will never know …

Professor Lye Kin Mun holds a PhD and a Bachelor’s degree, all in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hawaii, Honolulu and University of Alberta, Canada respectively. He is an adjunct professor in the Electrical Engineering Department of National University of Singapore (NUS). He has a rich and varied background in communications technology R&D, working with government agencies and world-class R&D laboratories.

Kin Mun was previously the Director of the Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC). Under his leadership, CWC grew to become an internationally recognised R&D organisation in leading-edge wireless communications technology. He also holds the appointment of Programme Director (Industry) at the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) of A*STAR.

In 2006, he was bestowed the title of ‘Officier dans l’ordre des Palmes Academiques’ by the French Government.

Why, I am in the presence of a mighty brain and I never thought to ask.

Honestly, my uncle doesn’t appear as uppity as you’d think someone with that kind of profile would. He’s very down to earth and very generous as well.

I guess when you’re a kid, you don’t think about who your adult relatives are. It’s not until you find the time one day to start googling everyone you know that you realise how little you know about even your own family.
