First PhD of the Gates'

wooo!! i m very happy to c vince's defended his thesis successfully. he did a great job. he's the first one in our lab who graduate! i m really happy for him.. n kinda miss the time when he was around a lot in the lab.. sitting beside me... teasing me... pretending shooting guns at me w/ a heatgun... lifting all the heavy water bottle for me. dunno how i will be next year...
