Set a mile stone, but you must continue

Received my NOC offer today. Glad, but first, it's pretty much thanks to the ex-NOC seniors, Mr.Huy, for example; my senior and adviser, Mr.Nam, my teachers, Ms. Lim and Prof. Damith for their help with the application. I am really grateful

This is a big mile stone, and I can't turn back now! Also, the challenge is dead ahead, as I need to keep my fluctuating interest and attitude constant for the next 1 year in SV.

The trouble, or worries is, perhaps my relationship with friends here. We won't see each other for a long time, and I don't know how I am to keep the friendship... Plus, family will also be a worry... Will I come back on time, or................

Too many trouble thing, beside the financial problem... It's surely a trade off, a big one. But I guess we can't do anything meaningful w/o such trade off.

Just hope for the best, I guess.

Perhaps we meet again, in US.....
