Day 1: What comes around goes around

It's confirmed. The last semester of my post graduate studies. Today I have made my decision.
I'm very sorry for CapGemini, but now, another more challenging option lies ahead of me.
It might be without controversy, but I believe this is the path that has been set.
It's gonna be a long winding journey, but hopefully a constructive and unforgettable one.
Taking the path of a pure scientific research, never thought it will happen in my life.

For all the endless blessings, mercy, and grateful experiences from Above, now it's time for me to repay my debt. A small and tiny contribution for the good of mankind, for the sake of knowledge and our next generations, and above all, for Merah Putih.
In the end of days, I was once a researcher, I was once a nationalist, and I can say that I've been there doing that. Respect for those who have taken this path as well.

Papers are signed and submitted. The exchange departments now have to do their bits.
When all is said and done, I won't see the Lowlands for quite a while and another semester of Down Under is a fact.
This is my oath.

The Lord is my shepherd. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
