Sweet! But it will be another decade before I'm eligible, which is okay for me since nothing I write is all that groundbreaking anyways. ;-)
so are you dreaming about winning the thousand? :-)
Work hard, KY! Who knows you are the first one to receive this award.
Hi Brandon,
It might be another decade for you - but I guess it will be two for me, with the limited resources we currently have.
Hi Paul,
Nope - I won't even dream of it - not with my current workload, the limited resources, and not knowing when I would be able to have my sabbatical... :-)
Hi Sze Zeng,
haha...I won't even dream of it la....Anyway, nothing I write is all that groundbreaking.....
And I don't even qualify to be nominated - I have less than 5 years of experience after my PhD.. :-0
KY can try submit your current papers to them...
quality of paper that count, not how many years of phd ....hehe..
FF bruce, Karl Barth, got no Phd anyway..
but I heard, stephen Tong got phd..hehe
Davinci,
I know the quality of my papers - they are nowhere near being groundbreaking :-)
KY,
I think to produce a ground-breaking paper, you need some sufficient grant, and might need to spend about 3 months or more at TTC's library! :)
If God willing you meet generous donor(s), and good colleagues who will relieve your teaching tasks.
Hi Sze Zeng,
Hmmmm...I wonder about the probability of that happening in the near future....
I think I should return to my name-it-claim-it days... :-)
If you write a lot, sacrifice a lot of trees and then drop it all on the floor, maybe it will be ground breaking :)
When is your new book ready.
Hi Alex,
And the book must be a real heavyweight for it to be groundbreaking when it drops on the floor!
You mean the book I was working on in Singapore? Realistically, it would be 2010. Need the year end 2-month vacation of 2009 to finish off everything. What to do - no sabbatical......
