The Long Awaited Day
Friday, October 14, 2005
Finally it was the day that my parents have been looking forward to. My convocation held at Raffles Convention Centre.
Being ever so kiasu, I reached the venue at 430pm. After collecting my regalia, I went to the nearby cafe to have my daily dose of caffaine. I keep rehearsing how I would walk to the Chancellor on the stage and the thought of me tripping over some wire really made me nervous.
At 530pm I went to the cloakroom next to the venue to change to my regalia and try on the motar board.
Then I use my "power eye" looked all the way to the other end of the cloakroom, saw how it is suppose to be worn and how to put on the motar board. One thing for sure, when I begin to panick, my face will be so flushed. It was damn red as though I put extra blusher.
Janet was late, by 630pm she arrived and I was still stuck in the cloakroom wondering how in the world does one wears the motar board. hahahaaaa... She helped me pinned it up real tight as it was rather loose.
Finally it is up and I am all ready to go and take some pics!
Of cos so long haven't smoke, must enjoy mah.
Think Jan was trying to get some misty effect from the water thingy behind me.
The back of my regalia. Looks like Harry Potter hoR?
Take pic must always stand next to something one lei. This one is proof of where u spent ya last 4 years at.
Me up on the stage! Jan took it from the projector! Smart girl. Thanks!
My Family!
My Best Mates! Thank you girls :D
Okay enuff of all these photo shoots. So after the convo, Sam and Eelyn and I decided to go celebrate and catch up at New Asia Bar.
Night view from the top.
First of all, I wanna thank Janet for being ever so patient and nice!!!!! She attended the dreadful ceremony taking pics for me and my folks. While Kway and Miu were waiting somewhere else. I WANNA GIVE HER A BIG HUG!!!!!!!!!!
Secondly, thank you Delkin and Cengie for coming. Is it only take a few pics and drink some tea at the reception then go?!?!?! hahahahaa...
Lastly, Sammie and Eelyn.... Thank you for coming also.... Was great catching up with Eelyn as she is living a married life and seldom meet her also.
Something about Yvanna: He wished me well and asked me to speak to Prof Gary Martin and Prof D and tell them that how good he is and allow him to fly to Sg more often. But that Prof Martin isn't as good looking as he described. I feel he is more down to earth compared to Martin. Oh well.... Eelyn did advice me some stuff and it has always been in my mind till today. She said: if it's not worth it, what for you go headache about it?
I know it's not worth my time and I am sure I won't gain anything outta it. Now it is just mellowing down time. I am always thinking of : what the hell am I doing this for? But then again, when one put in effort and feelings into something, it's kinda hard to detach yaself from it, am I right? All I need now is time to detach myself, I cannot force myself to forget everything at once cos it would be even harder. With my busy busy work schedule and my P/T homebase thing going, I don't even have time to Ebay! hahahahaa....
Weather: Cloudy, Cooling.
Music: BEP - Clap Ya Hands
Mood: Wanna leave the burden down.
