Went to collect the regalia on a Saturday which was the weekend before the convocation itself.
On the very day of collection, I went straight to Serangoon Broadway for my individual photoshoot and towards the afternoon, together with le parents and bf, we headed over to Gardens By The Bay for my pre-graduation outdoor shoots.
Presenting some of my favourites:
Le Bf bought the Curtin graduation bear for me which marks a meaningful symbol as the bear wore the same regalia as me =D It costs SGD50.00 for such a small bear but I guess, some things are more than just monetary terms right?
Was way too overjoyed so deardear took this photo for me which i posted onto instagram :)
"Guys usually go ORD LO, but for me it's gonna be GRADUATE LO! "
The outdoor shoot ended after taking about 100 photos.
Weather was way too scorching hot for me to withstand it cus I was in crazy attire that is thick and warm.
Thanks to daddy, mummy for being part of the shoot and deardear for being the photographer of the day <3
Moving on was the actual day of Convocation!
I woke up early morning to get myself prepared and headed over to the salon with Mummy for a decent hairdo.
So this was happened to the hair, which I think was abit too "PERMED" so i actually brought it to one side myself. =D Looks better like that?
Convocation was at Stars Performing Arts Theatre @ Buona Vista.
Daddy drove us there and upon reaching, it was like ... WOAHs, supra many ppl.
Went in and sat down with people whom I do not know on my left and on my right. Haha.
When it was about to me my turn to walk the stage, you can see me glaring like some holy figure here. LOL.
Credits to Marco who actually bothered to help me take a pic when he was still not on stage.
It meant alot to me because somehow or rather, friends like him care!
I know it can't be seen clearly but look, half of me is on the screen! Haha!
And yes, this is Marco!
Thanks for being such a wonderful buddy in my year 2!
If not for you, I don't know how it is like surviving in a class with no familiar faces.
And this is Noel whom we call Mr Blur. Part of my curtin besties too!
Hello Godfrey! If not for him, I would have died talking to some irresponsible chap (another group member) who aint cooperative at all.
Everyone was so busy that day. The crowd was awesomely a big loadtruck and hence, i couldnt find most of my friends for a decent shoot that day.
But well, my best friend came all the way for my convocation. How touching and sweet is that!
She bought me sunflower too! awws, words can never express my love and happiness that day.
Thank you for being part of my joy bff. It meant alot (;
And to the man whom I love since 5years ago, thank you for coming and been there for me always to brace me up whenever I am so tired of the life that I am having.
Love you always~
Daddy dear and Mummy darling, Thank you for bringing me up all these years and being present on the big day of mine. I hope you all feel proud of me like how I have always been proud of having u all as my parents. Love you both loads <3
Believe it or not, this is the FIRST flower that le bf has given after 5years.
HAHAHA. Oh well, better than none right? Thanks for the lovely bunch that really brighten up my day.
Noel passed me a pack of Kitty candies! Awwss~ so sweet and cute!
I have alot to mention in this post actually.
For the closer ones who knows me better, I'm sure all of you are happy for me because I DID IT!
I did it at the worst point of my life trying to endure the hardship of what I call Painful Years.
It didnt only last for two years.
In fact, I have worked part time and study since my secondary school days.
While other kids could solely concentrate on their studies, I was juggling between work, studies and projects.
No, I'm not saying these to hold myself high, to say I am indifferent from others or to take any self-credits.
But I am just saying that I am really proud of myself and no words can express those inner happiness I felt on this very day.
Days where I have to face the music from work and studies,
Days where I felt extremely tired, stressed up and lethargic that I just wish to give up on everything.
It's finally OVER!
I remember how it is like going for part time jobs and keeping ur own dignity and pride to face nasty guests/customers. I remember how it is like to wanna take a full-time studies but ended up in part-time studies due to an unexpected full-time job opportunity.
And I thought , if I can do both work and studies since Secondary 2, I can finish this hurdle now too.
2 years were painstakingly slow.
Thinking back, I wondered how I juggled between full-time work that requires much commitments like frequent business trips, demanding job scopes, school that requires time for projects, discussions, extra lessons etc.
But today, I stand tall because I did it, with the endurance and perseverance and I did it, with the support of my family, friends and loved ones.
Thank you all who have always been part of my support and alas , part of my joy.
