Convocation July 09

30 July 2009 marks the day of my Graduation from Nanyang Technological University, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

I waited so bloody long for this day.




I wasn't excited over my Convocation, I almost forgot to register with NTU with my attendance. I forgot that I have to rent my Convo gown, I forgot the date of my Convo.

In fact Mummy, Aunt and Daddy are more excited than me. But i suspected Daddy just wanted to eat the buffet dinner at NTU.



Daddy, moi, Mummy dearest and Ah Pin boy *loves*. (Alfred din want to come. Boo~)




Nevertheless, I was glad and relieved that 30 July 2009 marks the end of my student life!

But still abit sad la, cuz cant enjoy all the fabulous student deals, student rates and student life.



Baby came after the ceremony and surprised me with pretty flowers! My first bouquet from him. 3 stalks = "I Love You" hor?!?




Although many times i grumble about having to mug, study, copy during school days, now that I started working i realised its mugging, studying and copying that are really enjoyable.

I do enjoy the carefree lifestyle in University life.

I miss Cheering in Uni,

I miss my Aces and Spectrum Cheer Team mates in Hall 13,

I miss my room mate Vanessa in Uni,

I miss sleeping super late (ridiculously late, like 5am in the bloody morning) and waking up equally late (like 2pm in the afternoon),

I miss having Subway for lunch for a whole semester, having MacDonalds' in canteen during breaks,

I miss going to the stupid Lee Wee Nam (was that how u spell that guy's name?) Library to print those expensive notes,

I miss heading to Basement 1 to buy Lecture Notes,

I miss missing Lectures and Tutorials and just spend the whole day lazing on bed, shopping, KTV-ing, reading senseless magazines...

I miss everything I did during my Uni days.

I had really bad times during Uni days too, but I believe those days taught me to grow, to understand life, taught me to handle them and live through them.

Some times I do think of those sad times, some times I regretted, some times I felt so stupid when I thought of them, but I know its through these experience that I learnt to grow.

So I am thankful too.

I am so lucky I got to know many good friends in Uni days. Chaang taught me so much, he took me to where I am today. Without him and his leadership, I'll prob have nothing to look forward to everyday during Uni days.

I was lucky to be able to join Aces, which marks the start my cheerleading 'career'. I was lucky I met Willie who took me in Hall 13's cheerleading team when I was rejected by Aces initially *keke*.

I was lucky to know KJ, David, WD, CY and the rest of the *macho* men in Spectrum. They saved my life so many times. Thank you KJ for being my special Brother to me.

I was lucky to meet the girls in Spectrum too. We've gone through so much, fell and picked each other up (literally too), encouraged each other, cried in each other arms, combed and tied each other's hair, trained so much, travelled to Bangkok and hugged so much. I miss my BB, DL, WF, SR, Veron and the other girls so much. Thank you for the time in Hall 13, Spectrum and in Bangkok.

I was lucky to meet Rong, and up till now, I thk she is the only person who treats everyone with sincerity. She is so generous and encouraging when she taught us stunts. She always put others first before herself.

I am lucky I met YH, Mel, Kenny and Dennis, when we did the hilarious 3G project and from then on, our friendship strengthened and grew.

And of cuz Eric too. Haha, i'l nv forget the apple juice you brewed for me everytime! Thanks for caring for me.

In fact, I was very lucky to be able to enroll into NTU despite my horrendous 'A' Levels result. Haha!

BenBen's happy for me too!

Towards the last phase of my life in NTU, I was introduced to BB by Vivien.

He encouraged me so much and told me not to give up in my studies (no matter how atrocious it was). Many times i wanted to give up and walk away, but he always had so much faith in me. He held my hands and told me to strive on, that it will be the end soon, and never to give up, especially when I was already reaching the finishing point.

And because of him, I was then able to attend the Graduation Ceremony, receive my horrendous Degree Audit, smiled at the flashing cameras and do proud to my parents.

With him, I could wear the loaned gown, courtesy from LT, take back many memories with me from NTU and proudly own an 'expired' degree audit.

They even had professional photographer to capture the once-a-live-time experience for all the "Roberts" who spent so much $$ to get a freaking Degree from NTU.

Btw the buffet dinner sux~

And you can see all the very kiasu Singaporean grabbing food. In NTU.

One of my supporter, Ah Pin boy. *Loves*

And here's Rong!


Every semester we will encourage each other and say: "We WILL grad this time!" And finally we did!

Moi, XP and Rong!

Thanks BB!

And thank you Mummy for spending so much $$ in my school fees, for my Hostel fees, my transportation fees and for giving me pocket $$ when I was in Uni. Hehe, I very thick-skinned one, I will not reject my Mummy's every effort in providing me with a better Uni life.

And before I finally leave NTU, I forced Mummy to buy me the NTU Grad BearBear!

So cute hor!!! Its wearing the same convo gown as me!

So lastly, I'd like to show gratitude to those who have helped, assisted, facilitated, lent a helping hand, supported, showed comfort and loved me in a way of another through'out my life in NTU.

You have coloured my life and I will always keep those special memories with me, through out my life.

Thank you so much. *Huggz*
