About Mr. M*

Mr. M* is my 1st supervisor, actually the 2nd, because the 1st should be a professor - but since professor always busy conferencing, so 2nd become 1st, as usual.

Mr. M* is from Wale. There was rumours that Wale people have relation with sheep, in an un-healthy way. But I don't believe that, at least for M*, simply because his is so big. A cow may be more appropriate then.

So Mr. M* is a huge guy, and look like Hagrid, the key keeper, except that his favourite wearing is a red sailing jumper. Apart from his geek aprearance, Mr. M* have some expensive leisure, including sailing around Icland and collecting fine wine. Mr.P*, our head of school, have good experience with him last year, when he asked M* to select a really good wine for our Chrismas dinner. The wine turn out to bee very good, actually too good that Mr. P will remember the wine bill for a very long time.

At the beginning I have difficult with his Wale English, left alone the fact that I can't see his mouth which is hiding deeply under his bushy beard. But luckily, there are something called acronym, and there was not so many acronym in our ology - so we find way to talk. A typical conversation would be like this:

  • Do you know, ESA just have a new SAR with good ARC and IFOV which do HH and VV and HVHV and VHVH
  • Yeah, sound good, so they offer LST in SMC which do PRF and VTCI. We can put it togheter with SPOT and other RGB and NVIR and TIR stuff.
and that's how we make "ảnh triết", that's how we spending time RTFM. That's for now, may be I will go back to this issue later after my graduation and let you know a bit more fact about my supervisors. Till now, lots of things in this post and this blog are true, some are not-very-true. But never mind, after all, as my friend Ha said, no one tell the truth in a blog anyway.

Hoenstly, how can you say blogs are all lies! I always tell the truth - just a far more exciting version of what actually happened. Nothing wrong with bending the truth ever so slightly or embellishing a wee bit... as the great raconteurs thoughout the ages would tell you "never let the truth get in the way of a good story!"

I talk with HAnh sometime about the blog thing. If is like a true diary, then no one would have their diary open to public. If it's another "version" of our life, then we may make up a version of what we wanted to be.

I think Teddy may agree with me on this point ;-)
