    I checked my former school’s web cameras today. It’s so nice seeing the library lounge where I studied for 4 years. I miss my Alma Mater. http://cam9.ipfw.edu/view/index.shtml

    I was wondering if I would see any old friends of mine who are still sticking around at school. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any. I checked the labs, too. But, no one I knew. Well, it’s been a while since I was away from my school.

    It’s been exactly one year since I got back to Rangoon. I have to re-examine what I have done in the last year. I guess I have helped a lot of people, encouraged young BARS students and helped them keep up with the rest of the world. I am happy with my life here. My life is meaningful, helping these young students.

    I am going on a mission trip to Kya Inn Seik Kyi, Southern Burma, from December 16 till 29. I will be gone for a while. I will be at villages where there is no electricity, phones or e-mails. Before I leave, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I hope to write more about my experiences after I get back from the trip. Merry Christmas and May God bless you!

    See you back on-line next year!
