It's MY graduation

yes i am officially a diploma graduate

before the day of graduation, i keep thinking whats the big deal of graduating, its just another phrase of life that everyone is going through 

but looking at the video in the grad ceremony, i finally understand the importance of graduation. 

it's indeed a new phrase for most of us. 

be it the career or us furthering our studies.

the video showed me how early i had woke up for the past 3 years for sch, walking that NYP tunnels, attending lectures, trying to skip tutorials, didnt do my tutorial hmwk etc. and of course i had my VE occupying my mondays too!

anyway, met dale and wanqi to go sch together. 

and i was late sorry!

went to sch sligthly earlier to catch up with the wildcats in the earlier part of the day's graduation, who were wen xin and bienna

the wild cat-women!

i just look like a normal OL going to my office on a weekday again! 

took with bienna!

 

and Wen XIN!!! who might be going overseas studies soon in the states!!!

 

saw wan din! who is my sec sch fren

 

and Huiying who is my PRI sch fren!

and the wildcats without jorge and wen jie

after tat saw jean and we went to do our registration first.

with pearlyn

with DALE!!

 

THE HR LADIES GRADUATED!!!

inside the auditorium, waiting for the ceremony to start.

it was kinda long process. with 400 + students graduating. 

and its according to your names, and i was like the 200+ student i guessed.

and its so werid sitting beside the ppl u were not sure of, and dale was sitting 2 seats beside me but its seemed very far... 

worst.the reception inside was horrible.

up on the stage, getting my cert from the SBM director.

after the whole ceremony, of course it was the photo-taking time, 

capturing the last few memories i had in sch

with my parents along with my brother who attended the ceremony!

took with cor!

shu ai!

shu xin!

3 years of classmates with these girls!

and Lin Long came down to find us! 

so nice of her!

 

with dale again!

Ms tan who had taught me HR for 2 years!!! 

the ladies! who i had spent most of the time with in sch!! 

they are the main ppl in my poly life! 

glad to know them since year 1!!

though we will might not be in the same sch! but we gonna take a point to meet each other once in awhile to catch up!!

he is the one guy friend that i can confide my problems to! he is super nice! and is there for me when i needed it! though he always call us ASS HOLE! but i know he dun meant it!! he is a GREAT fren!

 

of course my family!

they are the most impt ppl in my life. they gave me the best educational guidance in life.

apparently they were more excited bout the graduation ceremony compared to me.

i wont complain much bout NYP cause its the nearest poly from home. 

its accessible, and got variety of food, etc. 

nothing much i can complain

NYP is just one part of my memory! 

and all of us have to move on to our next route in life. 

graduated from NYP! 

goodbye NYP! 

thanks for the wonderful memories that i had received. 

i had made good friends inside, graduated with a diploma, and experiences that i wont get else where. 

no dinner today! :(

was supposed to blog this entry through my iphone, but apparently it doesnt seem to upload for me.. 

good food again. this entry was written on the way back home in my dad's car.

so far the week has been going not too bad, 

my colleagye Esmond, had came back from China. 

got a pleasant surprise to see a bag of china goodies on my table when i reached office on monday!:)

does this chicken rice look tempting?

 

its actually from town.
Please dun tink that town's food is just restuarant that is delicious.

in fact this chicken rice stall is located at centre point foodcourt.

yes centrepoint foodcourt. in case you dunno, centrepoint had just openly their foodcourt, located at basement 2.

this chef who opened this chicken rice store is actually a celebrity  chef. he did appear in jiang tang da xing dong. and he opened a stall to give the public a cheaper and yet delicious chicken rice instead of the one in those hotel, which charged at an exorbitant price. 

my recommendation will be to eat the breast meat. its meat is very tender!!! love it

well at thiong barhu market, there is still a 2 bucks char kwey tiao. 

cockles are still given generously!

although the portion is still quite small, i think its worth to pamper youself with this oily plate of noodle once a while.

u find something special in the fishball noodle?

 

yes, its the chili gravy on the noodle.

LOOK at the redness of it.

its state as a traditional noodle and long queues formed each time i visited them.

the chili is the special recipe that make everyone drools. the chili is not that spicy, but it has the sour and sweetness of it inside too.

i love the chili, i believe most of their patrons love it too.

similarly located at thiong barhu market too!

i dunno if most of you know, i dun fancy eating wanton  mee. 

however this stall attracted me with its daily long queue during lunch hours.

i tired it. and no char siew for me. i dun fancy them. instead i ordered the dumpling noodles.

the yellow noodle with the black sauce made me want more!! there is no strong smell or taste of the yellow noodle/ flour.

its one of the wanton mee that i am willing to have it for my meal! 

and it locates near my office!! at tajong pagar food market! :) 

unintentionally landed up in IR

decided to meet up with coli and soulmate last sat!

it was just a random get-together because i was still thinking whether to go the day before and it was rather early.

both of them were late. one woke up late another i dunno. 

and i ended up waited for both of them nearly 45 mins in the train stations. 

the 3 of us went to taka for some vesak day thingy.. 

joined in since coli had some voucher and mum encouraged me to. 

saw my sec sch frens there like ruohan, marc and tony!

ate vegetarian lunch over there 

and i got myself sushi

 

after the mini event, coli went off for her revision for exams.

 

and then left me and soulmate.

we decide not to spend too much time and money on shopping that day. 

but that day i got myself a face brush from body shop from the 10 dollor voucher.. 

loving it still... 

then we from ps go down to clarke quey.

soulmate wanted to take a look at this...

yes singapore first heritage wedding musuem

its the traditional chinese culture wedding that caught soulmate's curiousity. 

ended up, we didnt pay to enter.

the entrance fee is 3 bucks

but its a small area for viewing.

not worth and its werid for 2 ladies to go in together. 

 

after that we decided to do some sight-seeing in sg. 

we wanted to walk to bugis for STAGE SALES. 

and i forgot ION had it. 

but anyway, we were lost along the way. 

and we ended up in...

 

yes the asian civilisation museum. 

took a break there.. and got some pic.

 

 

2 figures outside the musuem 

 

 

 

its such a warm weather... 

and we continue to walk along the way to bugis,

 

super tiredd!! 

while trying to find our way to bugis, 

unintentionally, we saw IR. 

and we decided to go see the bridge only. 

just the bridge

 

 

beautiful scenary. 

and i can foresee how beautiful singapore will be once everything is up

town is already almost completed, 

with ION and somerset 313..

u can see the hustle and bustle of  city life.

now its left the IR, which is a big opening to sg's economy esp.

and not forgetting we had our own sentosa, universal studio!

indeed a small country that dreams big

this is the helix bridge in marina bay sand.

i think its a big disappointment. 

there was a grand opening the week before, and guess what, the bridge was not even completed fully. 

its just half of the bridge that u can walk. 

why opened a grand opening for a half completed bridge.

 

just like the marina bay sand.

why so hurry to open it when everything there are not fully operational. 

u heard complaints on toilets unable to flush, electricity supply cut off etc. 

why rush?

why not give a grand opening, leaving people with a BIG WOW instead. 

instead now, we do receive a big WOW from the complaints when this marina bay sands was supposed to be a grand thingy. 

anyway,,,,, 

we went to get ourselves a drink to hydrate ourselves from the terrible weather.

 

 

 

but the bridge is indeed artistic.

 

nice view of the bridge and the IR

ended up we decided to follow with the crowd. 

we walked into IR for curiousity sake.

 

and we reached.

 

inside the IR.

where i dare say 90% of the shops are still under renovations

and most of the crowd are of course heading towards....

 

yes the casino..

too bad...

both of us were still UNDERAGE

 

nothing much to shop inside. 

many just go there for the sake of betting on their lucks.

and i would say, the security guards there were rather strict. 

proper attire is a must!

 

  

saying goodbye to IR, 

after an hour plus there, we decided to head down to BUGIS.

finally.

we decided to take a bus down to bugis.

we did not have much energy to continue finding our way to bugis from IR.

and while waiting for the bus.. 

and headed down to the STAGE SALEs. 

tempted to get the pretty nude pink lip gloss. 

but my lips have naturally redness on it. 

alright, i save money on my lip colour. 

no need lip stick or lip gloss.

i got their mascara, and concealer and lip stick for my mum. 

tempted to get their make up remover and loose powder. 

anyone can tell me if its good?!
