Our journey ended...

Graduation Ceremony 2012

It seems like just yesterday, we stepped into the lecture hall full of foreign faces, waiting anxiously for our first lecture - Biochem.

But today, as we travel to school, with our parents by our side, excited/anxious to get onto stage to receive our diploma,
it struck me that our journey has come to an end. It's time to say goodbye. For real.

Aiya whatever la. I'm trying to write a v emotional entry but I am not v good with words so just read caption k.

Anyway, this graduation made me see 2 extreme ends of graduands. I am the 'middle-class'.
One extreme; they treat this graduation machiam they take doctorate. Like seriously.
Buy the gown, go studio take photo, go salon make hair do make-up everything. No need la, seriously.
Another extreme; can't be bothered to come. I know some people too 'cool' to come and think its boliao,
but we studied for 3 years and spent 3 years of our life here. Why not just come?? Also not say must pay money.
Unless you really busy until at home printing notes or shitting gold la, then maybe can excuse. Doing million dollar business? Ha.
Or maybe too ashamed to receive their diploma or they #foreveralone and no face to face any friends.

Anyways, took half-day leave and came here took a short nap at home before coming with my parents.
Damn gan cheong plz cos I wna reach early and Mom only reached home at 4:00PM. Tsk.
And I took extra tickets from Fee last night cos she's not going so Jz can come too! Heh.

Finally arrived in school slightly before 4:30PM and buzzed around to take memorable photos with friendzzz.

Class photo 2012!

GRADUATE LOHHH!

Shuxian's Mom insist I take a photo with the bear. Hahaha.

After this photo, I figured I had enough of photo-taking and its time to leave this sweat-bearing place.

It's really damn super packed and humid I'm perspiring like crazy but no time to wipe my sweat off.

Anyway, left the school and Dad insist we should go somewhere for a drink and to 'celebrate' my graduation.

I think the main reason is because he wants to drink lor.

So we end up at Punggol - Frienzie Bistro Bar.

Tuna-something. Which taste damn awful. Like raw tuna. Gross(??)

Buffalo wings. Yumz.

Jz's Cha Cha Margaria. Not bad :)

My Bond's Martini. Which taste like shit!?? No, I mean, taste super like alcohol. Like really, PURE!
I think even the 70% or 95% alcohol in my Micro lab taste better than this. Super dry!
I proceeded on to chucking the drink to Jz to finish after my first sip. Can't conti, really.
