centennial class of 2005
22 years of breathing, 15 years of education... this is it. it was time to graduate. the moment i receive that scroll and throw my motar board up in jubilation, the mandate from heaven stops.
i'm an adult now.
the convocation ceremony was in the morning, and i'm the 100th batch of graduates to pass through the doors of nus. maybe cos i'm the centennial batch that's why the ceremony was more grand... i don't know...
walking down the stage taking my cert and all, it's a bittersweet sort of feeling. i'm glad that it's over, but yet, i wish i cld still be a student, waking up when i wanted, doing the things i wanted, and living my life, the way i pretty much want to live it.
took some pics, not as much as i wanted though, and even though i had my friends and family there... it's different u know. i wanted to invite him to my graduation, but i knew that if i did and he didn't come, i'll be really disappointed. and i just can't take that disappointment any longer.
i wished my time in nus had been spent with another half... but yet, i choose to live my life more carefree, with no responsibilities, no one to be accountable to. and yet, i can say all things to consol myself, the truth of the matter is, mei ren yao. damn it.
oh a lighter note, 2 of my bestest friends surprised me. joyce came down to my office yesterday and got me a graduation pressent. she got me a really really nice bag which i can't wait to start using come monday. can't wait to go bangkok with her next week.
luyi sent a bouquet of red roses over... it's the biggest bouqet i've ever received... THANKS BABE! it's amazing that 3 years flew by like that and u're coming back already!
who needs a bf when u have wonderful friends like them right? *awahhh*
