Long time, no update. Here are some bits and pieces of what has happened since the last entry.

First off (and by request). Yes, Uma and I are still seeing eachother. In fact, we celebrated our first month as a merry couple with a nice lunch buffet at the Conrad Centennial just some weeks ago. In the beginning of May we are leaving Singapore for a 5-day romantic getaway in Bali, Indonesia.

How about the research then? At the moment I am finalizing my contribution to a joint paper that is to be submitted to the 'International Symposium on Financial Engineering and Risk Management' held the 11-12th of June in Beijing, China. The submission deadline is the 30th of April. Hence, time is short and working days are long.

In case you were wondering, the title of this entry is a line from this weeks funniest internet clip - "The Landlord". Watch it yourself at
