I'll post pictures taken at NUS Commencement 2005 sometime next week. Lazy and tired to upload them now. I guess the seventy two bucks I earned yesterday was the hardest seventy two bucks I had ever earned. Imagine wearing 3 inches cloak shoes for sixteen consecutive hours, out of which more than ten hours were spent standing. And repeating "may I have your attendance card, please", "congrats", "this way, please" over and over again, at the same time, smiling.

Went back to take photos with my friends today, though I was off duty. I must say, the guys do look good when they're in long sleeve shirt, pants and leather shoes. With the academic dress on, they looked smart today. When I showed mum the photos, she thought one of them looks like louis koo (gu tian le). (Though she took back her words when I enlarged the photos for her to see on the computer.) I guess after today, whenever we look at science faculty guys, we'll just look at their faces and imagine they're in formal attire. And we'll certainly feel less enthusiastic of going to biz ad for breadth modules.

I'll comment more when I post the photos. Wait till I edit some of the photos, as requested by some of my friends.

It's a good feeling to see everybody so happy today. As I was shaking my good friends' hands, hugging them for the very last time in school, the feeling was a mixture of sadness and happiness. Happy that they've finally graduated, and ready to move on to new phase of their lives. Sad because I'll miss their presence in school next year. I think, I've been too used to seeing some of their faces in school, such that I've taken their presence for granted.

Though I was really tired today, but I felt the trip to UCC was worth it. Somehow, I was just touched by the whole atmosphere.

Thanks to all friends who took photos with me. Thanks to people (in particular, xj and sw) for helping to take photos of me and those handsome guys. Haha. I hope they aren't cursing me now for not introducing the guys to them, though they said they aren't interested in knowing them earlier on (who knows maybe they changed their minds after a few more looks of them). Thanks to friends who introduced their parents to me, in particular those who mentioned my name often at home (as claimed by the mothers). Thanks for giving your family members a good impression of me.

This was intended to be a short entry. Erm. I'll go and take a nap now.

The DIVA ♥
