Congratulations Dr Kevin, you've done so well. PhD is all about the persistence and you've got it, obviously.

Simply by the fact that it was hard earned, you should give yourself a pat on the back that you have made it.

Give yourself the credit that you earned and be proud of your achievement.

Congrats!

Thanks again Daniel, I took a look at the school's emphasis and it looks oriented around computer science than social computing. There's no mention of studying online communities, etc. :)

How about Information Systems? There's a school of information systems at SMU. I'm studying there right now!

Somehow I thought you were doing a PHD in IS... Then I realised it was communications...

Thanks Anivyl / Hwan Tong. It's been a long time since we last communicated online!

Daniel, that's a possibility, though the university is oriented around the business school. Only relevant area seems to be the School of Social Sciences: http://www.socsc.smu.edu.sg. Will keep in view. :)

Congrats on your teaching position at Thammasat University. Besides possibly visiting you in Bangkok, I'm interested to conduct Internet Use research across Asia, so it's great to know that you're in Thailand. :)

congratulations dr lim :) It's been a long run, and you have had your ups and downs, no doubt, as these "pages" told. I am glad you did not give up and finally got what you deserve. Have fun back in Singapore, and I hope you get a job you enjoy :D

Thanks Peter, I remember you. Well, I'm heading back to Singapore for a while, but looking for a teaching or research job in either Singapore or the States. Thailand isn't too far from Singapore, we could meet up on vacation :)

Kevin, contrats! This is great news. You may not have been totally fit to the department atmosphere, but you were one of the guys I always thought very brilliant and qualified as a contemporary scholar, like I thought about Alex and about Derek~ Cheers for you!
