A lil good news !

I was at a conference on Tuesday to present a part of my research findings.
The presentation went well (I have presented this piece of work countless times but mostly to my team members *shy*). It was a 5min slide presentation followed by 1min Q&A. If memory doesn't fail me, I remembered answering the judges question fairly okay.
Yesterday, while on E leave (O was down with fever) I received an
SMS from my supervisor saying that I won the YIA.
My first thought was "huh?"
What's YIA?
I had actually won the Young Investigator's Award....hehehehe...
mind you, young is anyone under 40 years of age...hehehehe....
So, with this award came a cert and some prize moolahs.
I am beaming...
I still have a silly grin on my face since yesterday.
Happy...Happy...Happy !
Young...yes...I like that title :)
