Thanking Dinner

Sorry everyone! I have not been updating our research website because I have been away for a little holiday break. Now that I am back and all charged up, I will be updating our wallpapers and news sections in the next few days (and submitting several papers).

Brian and Alex had given me alot of help for my thesis. Last friday, I was privileged enough to invite them and their family to a special VIP dinner at the Fox Golden Century Seafood Restaurant at Fox Studios. From my point of view (and many others), Golden Century is probably the most well-known Chinese restaurant in Sydney especially for their seafood.
