Farewells and such

As some of you may have already know, (in ascending volume as you say it) the internet conNECTION FINALLY CAME IN!

It took the company almost a freaking month to come and fix it I tell you, it's so frustrating and they only  decided to send someone after we started calling them every. single. day. litereally. Pfffft.

Today I just wanna put up a few pictures of meetups and gatherings before I left! I miss everyone badly :( 

This was at The Bee, Jaya One. Aaaah Jaya One, our third home during days in UM. Midvalley being the second haha. These are some of my most favourite people whom I have very fortunately met when I was studying at UM. We all come from different backgrounds, studied different courses but we share the same passion for art, and we talk about and laugh at the same crap!

A group shot with everyone! All pictures were taken using Adelle's iPhone and here I was trying not to laugh too hard because in our first shot we all stared into the Apple logo instead of the camera lens! LMAO. And then someone pointed out "WHO STARED AT THE APPLE!" and all of us were like "Er..... fuck hahahahahahaha!" And decided to retake.

Cat was supposed to be there but she couldn't make it in the end cos she had to work on her Masters thesis =( Cat if you're reading this I didn't forget you ok! 

During Chinese New Year my dad decided to hold his company dinner as always. I remember how last year he told me to invite any one of my friends cos one person couldn't make it at the very last minute but the dinner would still be charged since it was reserved so in the end Esther went haha. This time he told me to invite a few of my friends and I can do it together with his dinner as my farewell. 

And he told me to invite my 'good' friends and not 猪朋狗友 which directly translates to 'pig and dog friends' LOL. 

When I told Esther who else I invited -the guys particularly- she said "I don't feel that special anymore" Hahahah! Don't be silly Esther! Your status cannot be compared to them ok! ♡

Thank you so much everyone for coming! It meant a lot to me. Would you look at Wai Tuck and his wine bottle? *shakes head*

Oh. This one isn't exactly a farewell-ish type of picture but I'll include it anyway since we three look so cantik ♡♡♡

This year's Valentine's Day Maggie was back so we decided meet up and have a threesome! Ok probably not your typical threesome. We dined at Chilis in Empire Shopping Gallery right after I finished working. The night was short but fun as always ;)

Do you want some aiskrim potong jagung? This is straight up from the corn itself ahahahahhahah! 

And then here's a picture of one of my violin students. She wanted to take a picture with me in our last class (T_T) so I took one for myself too. And then she gave me this letter she wrote in fancy paper, nicely rolled up and tied with fancy strings. I read it after she left eventhough she told me to read it when I get home haha. I was bored cos the next student was absent and I was really curious. And then I couldn't stop crying for a while T_T 

She told me when she first started learning under me she was 'afraid' of me cos my hair was blonde and I look really strict hahahaha. 

And lastly, pictures taken in the airport.

I really really really miss home :'(

No really, a smile detector is my camera. There really is a function like that. And you gotta smile quite widely for it to detect before it automatically captures.

Thank you guys for coming all the way to send me off! :)))

Aaand my sister is not looking.

Ok that is all for the people. When my hair was still in its full glory. Now it has turned into this ordinary, rusty copper shade. And I still see pink foam in my shower. Red hair seriously isn't for everyone especially when it comes to maintenance. But I really like it! If I get to go back to Malaysia I might wanna do it again.. haha.

We've gotten almost everything we need in the apartment besides small storage systems. I tell you we went to Ikea like 5 times in 5 weeks, I'm beginning to get sick of it. I'm glad all the bigger things are here for example our bed (amitabha!), dining table (no more dining at the coffee table) and a bookshelf to temporarily store all our junks.

Ok time to shower, make some coffee and do some research on stuffs.

Prelude

As most of you have already known, I'm already here in Melbourne. I've quitted all my jobs, compressed my life and packed it into about 32kg, said goodbye to everyone, cried buckets of tears, sat in the plane for 8 hours and now, I'm here in a familiar new place with my other half.

I wanted to post pictures but everything in the apartment's all packed as we're preparing to move into another apartment, I can't find the cable to transfer pictures from my camera. Wk's at work right now and I don't want to bother him about this so this will be a picture-less post.

Yesterday on the way to the airport, my grandmother couldn't hold her tears and she was pouring for some time in the car. It seriously broke my heart to see her that way but there was nothing I could do to stop her from crying because she knows I'm leaving her.

At the airport, Esther, Wai Tuck and Sim Mei came to send me off. 

I've never mentioned this but when I first went to STAR (my secondary school), Sim Mei was actually the very first friend I made. I went into the class not knowing where I should sit. I saw here and there was an empty seat next to her so naturally I walked over and politely asked if I could sit there and she said yes. I've previously heard about her as we were both from the same primary school (Simpang Lima) but we were at different classes so we didn't know each other. But I heard she was really smart, so I guess before I decided to be seated next to her I did put that into consideration, that I'm sitting next to someone smart and that could be beneficial to my studies somehow hahaha!

Esther was in a different class, but somehow got transfered to the same class as Sim Mei and I during secondary school. Esther again, was from the same primary school as me but we were not in the same class. In fact, I remember seeing her even since kindergarten. She and Sim Mei were from the same class in primary so when she got transfered, Sim Mei introduced her to me. I told her how I remember seeing her in kindergarten and then we just clicked from there.

Technically, I've known these two girls for 11 years already. And counting.

As for Wai Tuck, I don't remember how we got to know each other but we met during Form 6. And he's been my 'kaki' in Klang along with Esther for 6 years now. He's also my rap partner in karaoke :D

When I had to go into the terminal, I said goodbye to everyone. I first told my grandma to take care of herself. When I hugged her I couldn't control myself anymore and I broke down. Seeing this, I guess everyone else broke down too. I then hugged everyone else, including my parents.

I'm sure most of you know I have quite a weird relationship with my parents. Sometimes I bitch about them, sometimes I say how much I love them. We don't communicate much unless we need to talk about serious stuffs. 

The last time I hug them was probably when I was really young. 5? 6 or 7 years old? I don't know. And now that I'm giving them a hug, it hit me that I'm hugging them because I'm leaving them already. And I cried even harder. My mom cried. I don't know if my dad did cos I was too emotional to see already. 

I'm sorry I forgot to give Cerdwin (my future sister in law) and Wai Tuck a hug. I dunno why I didn't, I'm sorry. I appreciate your presence so much yesterday. And thank you so much for the gift Cerdwin, you really didn't have to. But since you insisted, I told you what I prefered :P Thank you so much! :)

When I was at the waiting gate, I broke down again and while crying, Dr. Nasir (my lecturer in UM) called me and wished me the best. He, as usual, was about to say something lame but when he found out I was crying he went all serious lol. Nikki (one of my violin students) called to wish me too.

When I was in the plane I broke down every once in a while when I had nothing to do and I couldn't sleep. And I took out all the letters and thank you cards I've received and read them. From my students Nikki, Huishan and Zhishan, from Sunwave Music Centre, from Alfa, from Esther. Wth I cried even more especially when I see the word "Teacher Ee Von" but it kept my heart warm knowing how much people loved me and my presence mattered was appreciated all these while. Thank you all of you who gave me all these lovely remembrance, you know who you are!

I held a meetup with my best uni friends - Jian, Chee Wei, Adelle, Michelle and Cheng Choo. Cat was supposed to come but she was busy with her thesis so she couldn't make it. It was really nice meeting everyone once again. We talked about silly things, laughed at silly things like how we stupidly looked at the Apple logo instead of the lens at the back of Adelle's iPhone when the guy was helping us to take a picture using it. 

Jian was one of the first few friends I made when I went into UM. He was also my rumoured boyfriend haha! We were close enough for people to think we're actually a couple lol. Adelle was the first friend (apart from my roommates then) I made when I stayed in the hostel. Most of the people there conversed in Mandarin and I couldn't really fit in until I met her and we clicked instantly because we share pretty much the same opinion on everything! Cheng Choo and Chee Wei was from the dance department and I don't remember how we know each other but they too, got along with us super well. Michelle is Adelle sister and of course, was introduced to us through Adelle. She's friendly, nice and witty. 

All of them are my favourite people in uni and nobody can take that away.

Then of course there's Cat whom I again, can't remember how we got to know each other and gotten close but I'm thankful and grateful to have her as my friend all these while. We've been through the ups and downs together, played gigs (cheating wan ahahahah), karaoke at the most ridiculous time of the semester, my most favourite times with her are of course in UMSO. It's not the best orchestra but its the people there that made it all worthwhile. People like her, Alfa (my FAVOURITE gay friend haha), and Amy.

Thank you for the earrings Chung Kiap, Yik Chuan (I still prefer to call you this than Albert, sorry! I first know you with that name!), Esther, Sim Mei and Wai Tuck. I wear them everyday now :) Well partly is because I don't own real stuff (as in gold or silver etc) and my ears can only take those so yeah hahaah. The Spongebob plush sleeps with me everyday! Er... it's just a sponge so it can't do much ya know what i mean wtf.

Of course, I wanna thank my parents and my grandma for all the support. Emotionally and financially! Hahah. My mom showered me with luxury again T__T this time she gave me 2 gold bracelets and a designer wallet T________T 

Ok this post is going nowhere but I hope I didn't leave out anyone. I know it's not as though I won't see them anymore, but the fact is I don't know when I'll be seeing them again.

I'll be living a new chapter of my life here and I promise to be happy.

Thank you, my inspirations and motivations.

Here's to say a huge thanks to everyone who commented, and even personally sent me messages in Facebook about this post.

When I wrote that long, whiny and rambly post, I've never expected people to actually read through it and be interested in what I have to say cos I'm that kinda person who wouldn't really care about long and rambly blog posts unless it's written by someone I personally know, someone dear, or just close friends. What shocked me was one of the people who read and thought my situation mattered, was a lecturer in Uni who I have a lot of respect for. 

Mind you, there are a lot of lecturers in a university and there are ONLY a few whom I think deserve to be respected. And when I say I respect them it's not because they gave me an A ok? I respect them for their knowledge, enthusiasm, passion, dedication, transparency and most importantly, impartialness. And all these quality have to come TOGETHER to deserve my respect. I especially hate lecturers who're biased. And sometimes, old AND gay. I'm saying this because I've had enough of crappy experiences with old and gay lecturers.

Sorry I digressed. So that lecturer sent me a message in Facebook telling me he read my entry and that he understood and wrote lots of nice things to support me. Honestly, his message alone was enough to make my frustration flip 180.

Thank you all for you wise and lovely words of understanding, encouragement and support. You all have no idea how reading them just made my day. It inspired and motivated me to work even harder each day.

I'm still not sure if it's for the Master studies that I've been planning to do all these while, or is it just for myself. Either ways, I'm gambling now and I can only do my best. I would rather take a shabby boat which takes a longer journey to a destination that I want to reach, than taking a safer boat which goes to somewhere I don't want to be.

Ok time to practise. 

PS I've been reading Eat, Love, Pray for a while now. Oh fyi, I read very very slowly cos I only read at night, when I feel like it. I'm currently at 'Eat' and I have reached a part where I'm feeling inspired already and it's not even half of the book yet =) Hope it'll get better as it goes on.

Project 365, A Package & Plans

There'll be a breast cancer charity concert on this Saturday in UM. Rehearsals are everyday till late and by the time I get home I'm usually quite exhausted so the next day I'll be sleeping through the morning before leaving to uni for rehearsals. That explains the absence. I should be sleeping now but I decided to update a little.

My Project 365 has finally ended! It feels so weird when I looked at the picture I took exactly a year ago. Food from Wong Kok, I still remember clearly I was with Cat, and it was our final semester and we were very frequently eating together in SS2. Aah, nostalgia. I can't believe I have actually graduated for half a year and I'm jobless lol. I still teach but I don't have any full time job in hand. Which is a good (lots of time to practice) and bad (no money) thing apparently. Ok anyway, pictures next time.

Today I received a package from a friend I made in Youtube. I initially only expected a few things from her (some stuffs I bought from her and some stuffs she decided to give to me cos she has extra) but when I opened the packages up I was in awe cos she sent me so many things! Seriously, I can't believe there still are people as kind as her out there... T___T *touched. For you nosy people who are wondering, she sent me makeup products lah.

Last update, a pretty exciting one! =D It's ALMOST confirmed that I'll be going to Melbourne this December with Wk's family. I say almost cos the date's decided, everyone said ok, what's left is of course purchasing flight tickets. We're planning to visit Sydney again (for Wk and I) since his parents haven't been there. As for mid-year, I'll most probably go too but a shorter trip since I'll be going again in December. 

Actually now that I think about it again, getting rejected isn't as bad as I had initially put it. At least, I still am blessed with people who can sponsor me to go there LOL! And I figure I'll use this 1 year to think properly about my future - whether choosing to study Masters is even a necessity at all, or should I just stay here and keep learning and improve my skills and techniques. I'll be able to go anyhow, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

My 2X-th Birthday :)

I got back after 2 long, long days and checked my Hotmail and saw " _2 New Messages" and I told Wk,

" Wtf I got _2 new messages! My inbox is always cleared wan! "

And he said,

" Sure kena spammed lo "

-______-

" Stupid, its birthday wishes laaaaaaa "

Anyway, _2 is a number with the first figure not revealed (isn't it obvious...) cos I don't want to sound like I'm bragging so you can guess all you want but seriously, I've never gotten so many messages before! All these while, my phone will keep buzzing or ringing due to incoming messages but no, I've not gotten even _2 SMSes as well. This year my phone only buzzed a few times. I think there's only about 10 birthday SMSes? And I was thinking sadly to myself, the older I get, the more people forget about me. Until I see _2 New Messages! Crazy!

Thank you so much everyone! Whether or not you wished me in advance, on the day itself or belated. I appreciate every wish cos it's always better to be late than never! =) That's why, I replied to each and every one of the wishes cos I honestly, sincerely, truly appreciate it!

Someone asked what I've wished for this year. I almost forgot about wishes that's because I didn't get a cake this year. My parents were out for a formal dinner so we didn't get a cake and sing a birthday song and blow candles. Heck even if there is a cake it's not that we ever make wishes anyway. Btw, this is NOT a hint to anyone to get me a cake ok.

So, usually I don't make wishes unless I celebrate it with friends who get me a cake or something. But if I were to wish, I wish my application will get accepted by Uni of Melbourne.

So far, I've gotten 3 presents and they are all stuffs I've mentioned in my Ee Von's Guide to Getting Gifts for Ee Von (wtf how did I even came up with such a self-obsessed title)! It's so crazy! I'm contemplating whether or not to talk about them presents cos again, I don't want to sound like I'm bragging but I so want to tell the world how great my friends are!! Argh should I or should I not?

Anyway the best present this year has got to be...

MY AUDITION CD IS FINALLY DONE!!!

And a better news is I don't have to spend a diamond on it! I mean, it's not free of course but the amount is so much lesser than what I was expecting so that's a GOOD GOOD GOOD news ok! I am so freaking excited and happy and sleepy at the same time.

Seriously, it got so freaking hectic that I've been having 2 cups of coffee everyday.

And I can't even sleep now until I get all my application stuffs prepared! Will be heading to IDP tomorrow to get it done and over with! And then I'll hang around in some mall with Wk and waste time before I go back home and...

SLEEP AT LEAST 12 FREAKING HOURS I'M SERIOUS.

I've got good news and bad news!

Bad news:

I didn't win the other contest which I joined with my CNY inspired. I won't deny that I was disappointed cos I really did put in a lot of thought in creating that look but oh well, this is only the beginning :) But because of this contest, I've gotten some good news!

Some good news:

1. I won that Halloween contest, mentioned this in my previous post.

2. I just hit 100 subscribers! I seriously never expected to get more than even 20 hahahah.

3. My vanity blog was featured in Tongue in Chic! Ownself google. Actually I didn't really know what it was. I've read about it from places and Aileen mentioned about it once but all these while I thought it's like some kinda shop or something hahah! Nevertheless, happy :) All thanks to Gwen!

4. Ok this is actually not a news but more like something that made me happy. After knowing that I didn't win the contest, I got comments from all these kind people telling me they thought that my entry should have won it and all that great stuff. Which really really really made me very very very happy! In a way, I'd like to thank the girl who put up that contest cos without the contest, I wouldn't have entered and if I didn't enter, I wouldn't have gotten so many nice comments and feedbacks!

Ok that's all. I'm leaving for work now. Might go watch 2012 with my 2 buddies later. Bye.

Because I Think Replying To Your Comments Deserve One Whole Post =)

What a long title. But yeah.

I am so happy and I honestly feel so freakin' blessed to have readers/friends who are concerned about my insignificant and unnecessary worrying. I feel so happy to read all the long, long comments because it tells me one thing - you guys actually took the time to highlight it and read through that whole long crap and you guys cared! I feel so touched T____T I'm not saying this just to make me seem like I'm nice, seriously! Well, I AM nice anyway HAHAHA.

ShinD, awww actually it's not that I am snobbish or anything it's just that I'm not good at talking with new people so a lot of times, people don't actually find me friendly and some even think I look "angry" hence, unapproachable -_- but thank you for saying I was friendly to you =D

Ping, well you are damn right about everything but stepping out of my comfort zone... I still need a lot of time to master the art of it hehe. Anyway, I hope you're doing fine in the UK! I read your post about LDR. Like I've always said, have faith! You can do it too. =)

Maggie, wtf your comment cracked me up the most! But they're all so true! Yala yala I don't like you wtf. HAHAHA. Yeah, the only thing that I actually look forward there is of course Wk, and at least one of my besties, you, are there! =) Omg but NARS is sooooo overpriced at Australia T_T

Esther, dim gai you scold me bitch T___T LOL! Anyway, the thing is, IF I get accepted I most probably will continue staying there cos I most probably will try to get a job there... but yeah. To think it through I shouldn't be complaining since its not that the world's shutting off on me. Eh even if I have Wk and Maggie there I will definitely miss you one lar T____T

Fang Chin, wah short and sweet hahaah! I like! Actually it's not about me wanting or not anymore, but more like can I make it? T___T

Laughing, haahahahah with you it's all about gossiping! Thanks for the encouraging words! I will =)

I guess afterall, I shouldn't be complaining because really, there isn't any problem. Well, like I said, I only wanted to ramble a little. Thanks again for the great comments, everyone! =)

On a totally unrelated note, here're the pieces that I'll be preparing for the audition:

Vivaldi's Winter Concerto
Beethoven's Spring Sonata
Wieniawski's Romance
Stravinsky's Russian Maiden's Song

I hope it's up to standard... Luckily I have Wk there because he helped me to ask the International Admissions' Officer directly and cleared all the confusion I had. The deadline's on Christmas Eve, I'll be submitting my application early November. I've even called my accompanist (who's a really good one btw, and expensive too T___T) and I was so glad that she said ok cos I was told that she's busy all the time and I was a little worried if she cannot help me. And another great news is that I don't have to submit in a video format, just an audio will do. Which is a great relief cos then I don't have to worry about tripods, sound balancing and whatevers. Now, where can I find a good sound recorder...

Food in Melbourne

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you who shared with me your opinions on my previous post. Thank you sooooo so so so much for taking the time to voice out what you think! It seriously educated me a lot on how to be a better sister! I grew up to be the eldest so most of the time, I didn't have anyone to talk to since my younger siblings couldn't understand much and I didn't realise how I'm putting my past on my own sister by not bothering about her school life! I should have talked with her more about it. I seriously don't want her to go through the kind of shit like having no friends. Seriously, it's the worst feeling ever. And if she cannot even confide to anyone at home, that'll be so sad.

Alright! That aside, let me just continue with some pictures from Melbourne. By the way, I lazy resize la. Sometimes I wonder if you guys prefer the smaller pictures or the full sized one. Let me know if it does bother you.

Breakfast @ Globe Cafe

My chilli corn cakes with avocado, fetta, mint and Tasmanian smoked salmon - Tasted quite... exotic? Dunno if that's the right term. Wasn't bad but wasn't exactly yummy either. Very... strange combination.

Aileen's spinach and horseradish potato hash with poached eggs and hollandaise.


Wk's breakfast jaffle with fried egg, bacon and tomato.

@ Soda Rock Diner which is a really cool place. It's exactly like the diners you see on American TV shows. Like Back to the Future, or Cinderella Story (the one with Hillary Duff).

I think this was the Cheese Burger, which was really nice!

Look, they even have a jukebox on top of each table and mind you, they do work! I think it was about AUD1 for 3 songs. I picked Suga Suga (Archie's theme song), Glenn Miller Big Band's... something which I can't remember. I've been missing in action in uni's Big Band rehearsal that I can't even recall that piece's name. And also another song which I can't remember.

Look at the cheese freakin' oozing out! Mmm...

There's also a pinball machine which Wk played and lost in about 5 minutes HAHAHA. Ok maybe I did exaggerated but I remember he walked back and whined "Cheating one the machine!" HAHAHHA.

@ Maccas


Mighty Angus! How cool is that they even have a website!!! Ohmigoshhhh this was soooo good I'm craving for it right now! Sourdough bun, thick, tender and juicy beef patty, bacon, melted cheese, onion, mayo and zesty relish! *stomach drumming...

Lastly, @ White Tomato, Korean food.

We tried their Spicy Beef Hot Pot but it was toooooooooo oily. Seriously, the whole pot was filled with oil. Putting the oil aside, I actually quite like it. I thought it was quite nice.


Seafood pancake which was yummayyy!

Oh you know, I googled 'white tomato' and guess what popped out?




WTF

Seriously, there are such things as WHITE TOMATOES!??

Crazy. Anyway, from today I won't be updating often cos I'm preparing for my masters audition tape huhuhuhu T________T so, enjoy this video of a compilation of the pictures from my visit to the Tesselaar Tulip Festival! There are too many pictures and I'm just too lazy to upload it here so I figured the best way is to compile them. I do have individual pictures but if you're not my friend in Facebook, then too bad lah don't need to see. But they're not very interesting lah anyway.

bb

Ok bye!

PS I just noticed that all the pictures I put up are food, food and food! Was that all I did in Melbourne? Lol.

Thank You

Just now while Esther and I were in my car on the way to Aeon, we saw a man on his motorcycle. It caught our sights because he had a kid behind him. That kid was really tiny and was at the back, holding to the man. What's more horrifying was that the kid was not wearing a helmet. And to make things worse, it was raining.

And suddenly I felt so thankful that I'm born with all the luck I can get.

I'm lucky because at least, I have a car to drive around. I'm lucky to be born in this family, being showered with all the love and protection I can get. I'm lucky that I have the money to watch a movie with my friends.

As we passed by that motorcycle, we both were complaining to each other how irresponsible the father was.

Then again, I came home and thought, what if it's because the father had no choice? What if it's because the father couldn't afford another helmet for his kid? What if it's because the father didn't have time the to stop some where and wait for the rain to stop before he continues riding to wherever he was heading to?

Sometimes we tend to complain and judge about other people so much because we simply do not realise that there is more than what meets the eye.

Today I learnt that instead of wasting the time and effort to judge and talk about other people, I should really be grateful and be thankful that I am blessed with a loving family, friends and boyfriend who are always there to provide me shelter, love and protection.

I may not believe in the existence of God, but I believe in karma and I believe I may have been good in the past and that is why, I shall always be blessed with everything I need. I will never complain about my life anymore because I know, I am far more lucky if compared to that little kid who had to hold on to his dad on that motorcycle, under the rain. My life may not be perfect, but it's beautiful when I have so many beautiful people around me to show me about life. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder; beauty to me is there when there's happiness and joy.

And I am really, really thankful for that. I'm thankful for what I have right now, right at this moment.

Graduation - The Flowers

I've been awake since 6.30am and was randomly surfing the net while uploading pictures. I hate how I can't sleep much when something exciting's coming up. I'll be heading to the photo studio to take some graduation pictures with my family. And I don't understand why I feel so kan cheong with it also. Yesterday while chatting with Wk,

" Your life so nice hor? Don't need to do anything now. "
" ... where got! "
" Yala. You have nothing to worry about but how to wear your mortar board so that you'll look good in the pictures. "
" Wtf. Eat shit la you. "

He's got a point anyway. Wtf. -_-

Gahhhhh I can't decide how to wear my mortar board hat to look ok in the pictures! The last time I let all my fringe down I didn't look like a graduate at all lor! But if I put all my fringe up it looks quite ugly! I know that's how everyone wears it but I've seen people who wear it nicely! I shouldn't have trimmed my fringe laaaaa.

#162

Bought this from G2000 on the night before my convocation. I thought it's compulsary to wear a collared shirt (which I don't have, I just realised) but actually it's not. Didn't regret getting it anyway, since I don't have one.

#163


#164

A gift from Chooi Yin during convocation! So thoughtful and I didn't even get anyone anything! I feel like a useless friend now... T_T

#165

The lilies my friends got me.

Yesterday I realise that the flowers are slowly turning brown! T_T That's the bad thing about real flowers given as a gift. You can't really keep them except in pictures. So I decided to quickly take pictures of them.

The bouquet of white lilies Esther, Wai Tuck and Sim Mei got me. So pretteeeeee!

This was it on that day before they met me.

Half bloomed.

Now all nicely bloomed.




This was given by mom and dad.

On that day I was telling Cat that my parents surely will not buy me any flowers. Few days before convocation when I asked my parents to attend, my mom said, "Need to buy flowers ah? Go pinjam from people only lah" haha! Yes, my parents are like that. They don't bouther much about things. She even told me, "Huh? Must go the ceremony ah? Sure very boring one." LOL!

True enough! They did not get me flowers before going! This bouquet was bought at the very last minute from the many booths set up in uni after the ceremony. I know because when I met my mom and Esther and the rest, my dad was not there. And when he came back, he threw a bouquet of flowers to me saying "Nah" wtf. HAHAHA. I know it's not bought from florists also because it's not a very nice bouquet.

There's a rotten rose in it! My sister's finger's pointing at it.


Looks more like a valentine's gift than graduation haha.

It may not be a nice bouquet BUT! it's the thought that counts and so, I love it as much =)

Daisies given by my juniors. And no, it's that I'm really likeable in uni or anything, all my coursemates got one. Every senior who graduates will get one from the juniors.

And I thought they were sunflowers at first haha! I forgot sunflowers are much bigger than these.

Ok time to get ready for work.

Graduation 2009

I have exactly only 5 minutes to blog omg!

While we were bored listening to boring speeches and waiting for our turn to go up.
L-R: Amy, me, Cat and Chooi Yin.

With Cheng Choo.

And after the ceremony, everyone went out to take more pictures. Omg super damn a lot of people and super damn hot ok! I was sweating inside out! Not literally la. My body usually don't sweat much but my head usually sweat the most. I told Esther, "the part where it's covered with hair only will sweat a lot" and she laughed hysterically. I don't understand, very funny meh? HAHA.

Haha check out Cheng Choo behind us!

With coursemates and juniors.

And then... surprise!!! No lah not really wtf. Hahaha. I was calling my dad and asked where they were and then he told me he lost mom. I was like wtf. My mom doesn't have a handphone how on earth am I going to find her in the huge crowd. Then he told me she's with Esther and I went "Huh? Esther's here?" Haha. After a while, we all met each other.

They couldn't find me at first so they called Cat! And Cat was with them when I saw them.

We were saying we should turn the scrolls around so that can see the "University Malaya" words.

Wai Tuck with his respectful camera which took quite a number of shots here.

I think I was calling my dad.
