OK, finally, I'm into blogging!
I have been thinking of blogging the thoughts I conceive as a doctoral degree student for a long time for many reasons. First and for most, i want to improve my writing, not academic or formal writing, but 'writing in English' to express my self. I believe it needs continuous practice to pickup common phrases and build up vocabulary. English is not my mother tongue but coming from a country (Sri Lanka), which once was under Britain, I have a reasonable command in the language. Yet, I want to improve it further. Second, I get lots of half thoughts everyday about my research, which I soon tend to forget or loose my interest on them. So I need a way of codifying and keeping track of them for later use. Third, I need ideas, comments and criticisms about my research from outside. I'm not sure about the frequency of updating this blog, but...yeah, I hope to do it very often :)
If there is something that inspired me to start this blog, it's none other than this. Thank you professor Ng!
