"Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away"

So that's how it feels to be a graduate.... no feeling. Haha... ironic eh? All tt paper chase boils down to just this but yet when the moment arrives, there's not much sense of jubilation wadsoever. It's just another one of those graduation ceremonies. It just kinda felt like dejavu sorta, u know... on your last day at school, be it sec school or jc, u'd gather with some of ur pals for some picture taking and tt's abt it. I rmb when I was a kid, I'd always watch the tv and they'd portray graduation ceremonies as something grand, something which everyone in the family will look forward to. But when it really happens to me, it doesn't really feel quite like that.

Anyways, I'm officially a graduate. Look daddy! I've graduated! Still rmb my kiddo pic with the graduation robes? Now this is the real shyte.

Some pix taken that day... Which reminds me... I haven't got ur pix yet YH, SL and Celeste! ;

This is really cliche but well... seems like all NUS grads pose with these... wth!

Was ...

Here!

Upon finally finding a parking lot, we rushed to the robing room panting like crazy cos we were running late! Haha!

And that probably explains why both our smiles look so fake. Haha! With Mummy!

Sucha coincidence! Siewling's sitting just next to me! Woots!

YAWNS.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Harry potters' big reunion

My few secs on stage... can u believe it? So many years of mugging just for those few secs? haha!

Yay! It's partaaaayyy time!

With Velinda, someone I got to know better during the last sem and our final marketing paper. Still recall our bitching msn sessions on the eve of our exams! Haha!

With Binjuan and elf. Haha! I thought this pic looked kinda odd cos we're all standing so straight!

With celeste and hunnie

Tipin, my nonsensical Deutsche pal!

With Ting Ting and Wen Tirng!

Haha... ain't this a surprise? Finally met my long-lost sushido pal!

And my long-lost granny. Kidding... tt's just liting's mum. HAHAH! Oh man! I was trying real hard to stifle my laughters.

With Maybelline. Haha.. Still recall those days when she'd 'scold' me for skipping an entire sem's worth of lects.

With my sista, sab. Notice how plastic our smiles looked? That's cos mum takes years to snap a shot so we'd both be left standing there to pose whilst feeling our smiles quiver. I'm sure deep down within us we'd all be cursing and wondering when she'd finally press the button. Haha!

With my nonsensical mum! haha!

Celeste, Ya-ning, Binjuan, me, Siewling and yihan

Mummy bought that lion for me. Haha! For a moment, I really felt like a kid. Anyways, fyi, tt's yihan's nephew leroy in the background. Haha!

One of those dated entries....

Liting's bday! 4th of July 2008 was it. Met her and Geraldine after work for dinner before the rest of her gang appeared to surprise her. Though I was really tired with an impending packed wkend to be burnt by work yet again, but they removed my weariness as soon as I saw them~! They're a really friendly and fun-loving gang. Glad to have gotten to know them.

Some pix taken that day. Collage courtesy of our bday girl!

Cake cutting ceremony by our beloved bday girl

Haha... for a moment, liting actually kinda looks like a statue or ambassador of some sort. Hahaha!

Its the guys' turn now!

Group shot! Those flowers reminded me of the really embarrassing ride from Raffles place! Haha...!

qiaoyun, me, liting, geraldine and sandy

Haha... guess she probably offended the guys somehow!

And that was probably one of the better after-work days! Hope she had fun that night! Here's looking forward to more bday celebrations together tt will last us for a lifetime! Friends Forever!

I hate having to tell and to live a lie but I guess this time, there really isn't much of a choice.

Sab asked me for a favour to send her to the office yesterday morning which I did. The first couple of mins drive was as per normal until we reached the exit from Bedok into PIE. There was this lane that merged 2 lanes into one. What happened was that as the 2 lanes merged into 1, with me on the right lane and this long vehicle on the left, the end result was that the long vehicle actually clipped off my left wing mirror and left a scratch to the front left-hand side of my car. I didn't know what to do and the driver of the long vehicle motioned to me that it was too close and he drove off. I was in a state of shock and as I didnt want sab to be late for work, I just drove her to her workplace. Upon reaching her workplace, I stopped the car at the carpark and waited for sab to pass me tape to tape the badly damaged mirror up temporarily before I sent the car to the workshop.

I have yet to file any report with the police or the insurance (even though I've got his vehicle number) after discussing with sab. We didnt want mum to know as she'd probably kick up a big fuss and bar me from driving or something. And this, sab says isn't my fault as she witnessed that it was the long vehicle's long and bulky steel rods that snipped our wing mirror off. I'm so confused. We have decided not to make a report as if we were to do so, mum will know. So right now, I have to bear the brunt of the repair works which really ain't cheap. $905 for the mirror. I've yet to spray praint the mirror cover yet which I'd probably have to do so later today once mum sets off for work. (Didn't do it together yesterday as mum wld know abt the incident as the car would have to be left at the workshop overnight.) Spray works will add another $60 to the grand total.

Sigh... I really really hate lying and I feel so horrible over this. Though I know it's not my fault...now I'm just so worried that anything will go wrong.

It feels like eons since I last touched my laptop to blog! Been working practically everyday since I started work. Including sundays..! Finally got a chance to rest today since it's convocation day! It's supposedly something to look forward to since after all, i'd been studying for donkey years just for today. But well, I don't exactly feel any sense of happiness or excitement. Just happy that it's finally an off day. ;) Haha.. strange eh?

Loadsa stuff happened since I last blogged. No idea where to start even. Let's just skip it shall we? Work has been really stressful but I hope I'm adapting well to it. I've learnt alot the past 2 months, especially after Pris left. Sometimes, I feel bad cos I do know that I've sorta neglected my family bcos of work. So, right now, I treasure the rare moments that I can spend with them.

Some pix taken during weekends:
