Square Hat Day
It seems like just yesterday that I attended last year's graduation ceremony at NUS. I was admiring all my friends who had graduated and wondering how it will be like during my graduation ceremony 1 year later.Now, it is all over. My graduation ceremony was on 15th July. I had lotsa fun taking photos with my course mates.
I had a super hard time trying to make my gown stay as it should be. Because I rented the gown and it is the traditional hook-on type which means it comes loose easily. My friends bought their new gowns and it came with zippers! Super convenient lor.
And my gown and mortar board are both Medium size because of my height and it's so loose!!! Spent quite abit of time pinning the mortar board with my hair and using safety pins to fasten my gown with the bonnet. Troublesome!
The first photo taken in the robing room
On my right are my NUS friends, on my left are my colleagues. I'm sandwiched in the middle!Because the seating allocated for everyone is based on results and in alphabetical order so I was thinking that I might be bored with no one to talk to during the ceremony. End up, I am seated with people that I know! How lucky and I end up talking and talking and talking during the entire ceremony.
This is the SAP course mate who sat beside me and we had a good catching up session during the ceremony.
I didn't know he stay quite a few blocks from me and I always frequent that coffeeshop at his block. So qiao.My sister!
Usually everyone say we don't look like sisters and look like friends, but this photo somehow makes me feel that we look alike. Do we?The kids and my jiefu have not arrived yet cause children below 6yrs old are not allowed inside the ceremony. I asked for the kids to come so that I can take pictures with them.
My favourite little nephew.
He was so spontaneous about wearing the mortar board. So cute yeah?The other one is more spontaneous about taking photos with the big NUS lion soft toy.
Too bad the smaller version of it costs $39.90, it's too expensive, otherwise I might just buy 1 for him.Little boys
A family photo =)
Special thanks to William who promised to attend my graduation and kept to his promise!
He even wanted to snatch my cert away lor! Anyway, must buy insurance from him next time. Anyone wants to buy too? Contact me ok!Pic with my colleague - Joyce
Never even saw her once before in NUS but now we see each other everyday. How ironic.Pic with Joyce, Ting and Ting's friend
It is actually quite difficult to get a group picture like this. Once I found Joyce, Ting is missing. And if I found Ting, Joyce is somewhere else. Finally a decent pic after some phone calls.Pic with Ashwin
My company has lotsa NUS students, I've never seen most of them before. And guess what, this colleague of mine is born in 1987. I am 3 years older than him!! Awwwwww...that sucks.With Geok - My bestie in NUS.
The one who made my last semester in NUS super fun with funny stuffs about lengshui and her mu tou. And our 2301 class and oral presentations. Will never forget the fun that we had.With Geok and Wein
We got to know each other after Regina's introduction. From then on, we keep doing projects together. =)With Michelle
The friend whom I got to know at UCC and she said we knew each other at UCC and end off with graduation at UCC. Little did I know I saw her again at my company's DnD. It's fate!With Siowyuan
A friend that I got to know during my last sem in NUS and it's the most memorable sem for me. :) And the world is so small, my colleague also know her. Why is it that everyone knows everyone else?With Edwin - my SAP coursemate
With my Orientation group gals + Dr Heng
I like this group pic. This is the lecturer that gave me my first A in NUS!With Yaoquan - know him from OG too.
Finally, standard must-have pics for a graduate!
And, not forgetting my dear for taking leave and coming to my graduation. Sat through the super boring ceremony just to see 30secs of me on stage and be my photographer for the entire day! You're the best! =)
Yeah! I've officially graduated from NUS!
