Thanks for the encouragement! I don't consider myself young and energetic any more and that's precisely why I wanted to conducts such talk while I still can. :) Will definitely give the Sun its due place during the presentation as you can already see from the poster design! :) If the late afternoon sky on Friday is clear, we may conduct an impromptu Solar sidewalk session outside the library as a pre-talk warm-up session (pun intended). :)

@yltansg: Thanks! Will try to do Solar sidewalk sessions with it this weekend whenever the sky is clear. I think I need the Bishan group to protect me and precious cargo during such sessions. :)

@starfinder: Thanks! We will be having a nice mini singastro gathering that night. :) I will be showing some slides that will make even the veterans feel nostalgic. :)
