Long Time Since Last Entry

It's been a long time since I last blogged. It has been a busy week for me because of the commencement ceremony that took place last Friday. The week started pretty normally. Work on Monday till Wednesday. My parents came down to Singapore on Wednesday noon but I wasn't able to accompany them because I had work until 6.30pm. Fortunately my brother was able to accompany them after fetching them from the airport.

After that, I took leave on Thursday to accompany my parents. That also marks the start of a 4 day holiday hehe...partly because I have my routine weekend off too! My parents stayed at my home and takes over my room while I moved to my brother's room. With my parents around, the house seems more complete haha... Went shopping with my parents everyday. My mom likes to shop for clothes and while she does that, my dad has to find some place to sit down haha... She can take up to the whole day shopping for clothes!

I had my commencement on Friday night. We reached the University Cultural Centre at 6.50pm and I went to collect the extra invitation card for my brother. Initially, they only gave 2 invitation cards for each graduate. Soon, I went to the robing room to wear the gown...which took a little effort to get it right hahha... After that, we took some photos before my family went into the hall. Outside, I managed to mingle around with my friends and bumped into Chin Kwok and Jonie who came to visit. It's been a long time since I last saw Chin Kwok and hmm, his hairline seems to be receeding and his hair has thinned a lot too! Wow, the power of studying medicine...sigh

Not long after, we grads went into the hall and was seated accordingly. We were shown some interviews during the pre-commencement ceremony. Shin Shin, Jaspar and Andy were somehow interviewed on the big screen. Then, the ceremony started with the entrance of the professors and Prof Shih. The ceremony was rather fast I must say. Each of us lined up and received an empty scroll cover on stage before collecting our real certs later. At the end, Jamie gave quite a good valedictorian speech after which she received a thunderous round of applause. The ceremony ended with the release of balloons from the top. All in all, the ceremony is OK but not very impressive hahhaa..

Outside the hall later, everyone starts to take photos for remembrance. My brother managed to take a lot of my photos with my friends. The atmosphere in UCC was very joyous with grads taking photos with their friends and families. We left UCC at 10 and managed to have dinner in Crystal Jade Holland V.

Saturday was a day of shopping again with my parents. My cousin treated us to lunch in The Soup Restaurant in Suntec City. The food there was not bad and it was the first time that I tasted the food there. My parents went back on Sunday at 6.45pm. Feels a little sad that an interesting weekend has come to an end. Another tiring week ahead with more training in Guardian. We will be having out New Employee Training Programme for the whole week on top of our First Aid lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Went to the first day of NETP today and found it rather boring. Nevertheless, it's a good time to relax haha... Gotta sleep soon. Have to wake up early tomorrow for the talk by the French Dermatologist in Mandarin Singapore at 8am. Ah well, American buffet will be served hehe... :P

Oh ya! By the way, I've uploaded some of the commencement photos in http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumList?u=4021333 together with the year 4 class photos as well. Enjoy!
