Our Convocation!
Yeah! Finally graduated officially after 4 gruesome years of university studies and 18 years stucked in the Sg mainstream education. The convocation ceremony was very chaotic, with many parents and their kids (us) wondering where's the queue and what to do. Think the instruction and direction have not being very clear. After that 10 secs up on stage to get the empty degree file (ours not scroll) and shaking the hand of one of the richest man in Sg, the rest of the ceremony is history. Leslie Loo's boo boo, Mary Chan's unglam wideopen view of her "bottom" and our dean sitting like he just ordered beer at kopitiam were classic moments indeed. Some of them were either out at the foyer taking pictures, queuing up at the toilet or even dozing off at their seats, with the graduation teddy bears in their embrace. So, there's a purpose to the graduation bear k? :)
We have come so far these 4 years. During our first year, being the guinea piggies cohort, I still remembered how often we have to shuttle between North Spine and South Spine for lesson b'cos we did not have our own school building and it was still an empty construction site. The office was located at the far end of South Spine at the eerie-looking Innovation Centre, which dont look very innovative in the 1st place.
NTU wasnt my first choice and I didnt expect myself to end up there. But all these doesnt matter to me anymore bcos I eventually knew that it doesnt matter where I go, it's the friends that I made that makes a whole lot of differences. A27 was the starting point where we knew each other.
