and so... this is how it feels like to graduate

i didn't know much about love but it came too soon
as we look back now will our jokes still be as funny?
and now we're all men and women of the world. - Vit C (Graduation)





receiving my conferment.



trudging towards mommy and stopping for a pose.



me and paper.



with mommy dearest.



her pride and joy im sure.



with sis.



salute.



my family minus dad.



mom wants a funky shot at wearing the trencher!



dear cat and i.



some silly rule about having to don skirts ignited the non-conformist in me thus i wore black stockings.



with ericia (and her family who were waiting patiently by the side while we camwhored)



blur ber!



funny frederick and crazily loving cat.



ericia and her paper.



me and mine.



L-R: gillian, ericia, me, carol



awaiting for our ceremony outside the hall.



the SIM fam!



camwhoring in the gowns' changing room with the assistance of one of those ladies in hot pink blazer (background).



looking mighty fine.



gid, cat and i brilliantly captured in the photo by ericia.



before the ceremony began we realized we were sitting in rather close proximity to each other and had the grand chance to snap shots like this.



Professor Ethan Choo looking so proper and handsome!



mucking around in the make shift changing room for graduands. someone asked me what a graduand was and i replied coolly that a graduand is a graduate just before conferment. BUT the point was, i wasnt totally sure. however it does make sense to me! anyway, the other point was we transcend from a graduand to graduate within mere seconds.



fooling about with viv's hoody.



happened to see kai wee in the same room as us.



refusing to look like a bore in an unflattering gown.



on the phone with viv.



the ceremony was long winded and i ended up nodding off during the welcome speeches by several chancellors etc.

but all was good when it ended and we proceeded to part 2 of the night for food, drinks and plenty of chatter and laughs.












i present to you the cutest couple other than cat and fred. well they were the only other pair of couple in the group. besides, no one else will disagree with me.



was having a nice conversation with terence when suddenly everyone wanted to take pictures with us and our discussion turned into a succession of group photos. just look:












L-R: sandy, gid, viv, me, tl



dined at shokudo, raffles city.



sitting across from us are:

L-R: sandy, col, gid, tl



with crystal, loof.



during the gown collection with zoee (holding the camera), we had a go at messing around with our get up. ericia looking totally passive or demure, whichever you deem it.



we were totally entertaining zoee and her camera.



candid.



zoee looking silly but lovely in a trencher.



dont say i didnt warn you!



the moment we waited for to do this



how does graduation felt like? it feels different for everyone i know. for me, it's like saying sayonara to the things we learned at school. yet not like an unkind farewell but a longing parting.
