Hiphiphooray~ =D

The graduation ceremony...
I'd say that the most apt words are...

It started with a BANG

And ended with a Boom! lol!

Ok. Actually only the boom part was right.

Silver confetti burst out before the whole bunch of orange and blue balloons came floating down

But the start was rather solemn, with this marching song where all the VIPs strode in.

I like the effect of the balloons streaming down though..

Felt very dramatic and a pretty majestic sight to behold.

Oh, look (:

This was my turn at receiving my degree scroll.

I was so afraid I would have a mishap such as falling down on stage

cuz I was wearing a new pair of heels that are 3.5inches high.. =/

Not very high heels, but considered high for me. lol.

With that, I'm officially part of the AlumNUS: Class of 2010!

I like this pic (:

Feels like a picture you'd depict in a flyer of sorts. lol!

Like I can imagine the header to be "Welcome to NUS Alumni"

My family came..

Even my grandma, my fav uncle and aunt came!

So here's a nice pic of them (except my bro who was the photographer)

And now you see my brother in this family pic (:

Here's another one of him and me.

I think he carries the bear so much more nicely than I do.

Under my "care", my bear would either have a messy robe or be dangling sadly =(

Poor bear.

Here's one of my favorite pics! (:

Shuxuan and I without the big squarish mortar boards on.

This was taken before the ceremony, when my hair was still nice and not flat..

Group pics!

This is one rare group pic I had..

Missed out on the D*pressed pic and I ended up being tagged as the Grad Bear on fb..

Missed out on the pysch clique picture as well ):

But I had my family to attend to mostly.. So well..

that didn't leave me with much time to hang around friends.

Quite a pity.. But nvm!

I shall be contented with what I have (:

Another group pic (:

Did up collages for the pictures I took with some friends!

Not all are in, cuz it's hard of hard to match the right kind of photos together..

Some look weird when put together with other pics..

Kind of hard to explain why..

Oh! Eddie's gotta be one of my best lecturers ever!

And he remembers us all by our names (:

So hard to come by actually..

Guess what, he was the ex-classmate of my current supervisor.. haha (:

Such a small small world..

Ok.... Now to the crazier moments.

Jumpshot! hahahhaha =D

I like natural expressions~

This one is pretty nice, but it took so many shots just to get a nice one.. lol!

The rest are all so unglam!

I like this too.. But the jump isn't too high.. haha

Poor bear!

And not forgetting the classic move of every graduate:

the toss of the mortar board to signify "hooray, graduate alr!!!" =D

Shall end off with not so hyper shots of myself (:

And here's the last pic I took for the day.

And my personal favorite of the lot too (:

Goodbye NUS.

I loved you and will always remember the undergraduate days fondly..

I missed you since the day I stepped out..

Oh wells, the only thing I can look forward to now is a good head start in my career

with whatever NUS lecturers have imparted to me..

I may not be able to remember all my lecture notes' information,

but there's one thing I will always keep in mind.

It will be Eddie's words about how we should never take things as they are,

about how we should always question and to explore alternatives..

If not, our minds will die a slow death, and we'll be nothing more than a number.

I miss debating with my lecturers and

I miss writing essays which didn't have a distinct right or wrong.

It's all grey.. And it's when your opinion matters a hell lot.

In the working arena, there's always a standard template.

"Look for the standard paper."- they say

But it's so against my education background..

I'm sure you guys will be able to tell by now,

how unwilling I am to graduate..

Not like I have a choice..

lol.
