Convocation!

After 3 years... finally... my convocation! Pictures speak a thousand words.

I thank

  • my parents for providing me with the chance to complete my Uni education, for their unconditioned care and love.
  • my Teddy for giving me his fullest support, walking me through all down periods and being tolerant and understanding. Nobody deserve to graduate from "School of Love" more than him.
  • Gen for being my best study mate and girlfriend. I will never forget the days we laugh, share and revise at the bench area.
  • Shu E and Aaron for adding the love from friendship in my Uni life. We held onto each other during FYP.
  • and all who has been sending me their regards and words of encouragement.

Thank You! My graduation will not happen without you people.

Something So True

Let's forget all that i have blogged about my work and colleagues. I have been in the job for more than 2 months and is now in a better position to judge the good and bad.

  1. Some who appeared nice are indeed so.
  2. Some who appeared nice are devils.
  3. Some who appeared nasty are not so in fact.
  4. Some who appeard nasty are more nasty than they appeared.

Advantages that seniors* treasure for having a new hire in the team...

  1. New target to show off their knowledge, spending power... everything else they could.
  2. Lunch unofficially starts from 11.00am and last till 2.00pm.
  3. More and longer toilet breaks. Oh ya, more chit chat sessions.
  4. Can afford to be late and knock off earlier (even before official knock off time).
  5. Ability to pick desired dates to go on leave since new hire can cover.
  6. Luxury to choose between shifts.
  7. Opportunity to claim credits by claiming to assist and guide new hire.
  8. Good target to push blames and cover themselves. <-- BEST!!!

*Disclaimer: Not all seniors are alike...

I admire YOU for your back stabbing skills. *claps*

Belle was too lazy and sick to blog for the past week. Some quick updates here.
  • Teddy bought me Cordyceps Mycelium Liquor (dong1 chong2 xia4 cao3 kou3 fu2 ye4) to curb my cough. quite efficient.
  • Met clam for dinner at sakae. Had a nice catch up session. Great chat which i had definitely enjoyed. =)
  • Finally recovered after one full week.
  • Knocked off daily at 6pm sharp and headed home straight to catch "Jia You Jin Shun"... Next week's knock off time is 7pm... haiz, will miss the sun.
  • Lunched with Shu E... Finally after 2 months since i commenced work (timing mismatch). So nice of her to help me collect my transcript. Hope to lunch with her again soon.
  • BBQ Steamboat at Marina South on Friday night.
  • Sentosa on Saturday ("Songs of the Sea", ludge, pinic, nice dessert).
  • Passion Run (5km) at east coast on Sunday morning. Followed by Macdonald's breakfast.

Field of Dreams- A Tribute to the National Stadium

Firslty, an update on my condition... I lost my voice voice for 3 days. For once i thought i am going mute. It was only until yesterday when Teddy bought and brewed some herbs for me did i get better. I am finally speakin again. The herbal tea tasted quite good and it is definitely efficient in helping to regain voice. Next in line is to cure my cough. Teddy kept asking me (jokingly) "shi4 shui2 de3 gong1 lao2" but i refused to answer. You gotta see his "de2 yi4" look. haha. Well, deep down in my heart, all credits should go to him of course. muackz. Come to think about that, it is good to have an auntie boyfriend, one who is willing to visit the market, one who cooks and do the dishes and one who knows about traditional prescriptions... haha :X So Teddy, what is more efficient to tame my cough than Robitussin? haha.

Our initial plan yesterday was to spend a day in Sentosa. However, we found something more meaningful awaiting us. We went to sistic, bought the tickets and headed to National Stadium to bid farewell to the Grand Old Dame of Singapore Sports. The first match at 5pm featured football lengends- a match between Singapore and Malaysia's ex-national players. The second match (and the last match before the stadium is demolish) was between Singapore and Australia. Although Singapore lost (final score: 3-0), i think they played excitingly. Our team was grabbing all opportunities to attack. The fans' support was great. They were cheering throughout and managed to lead some successful Kallang waves. I said some because it got abit too frequent and the spectators became a little incooperative towards the end. haha... too engross in the match u see... It was my first time to be part of the waves... great experience i should say. It was also interesting to witness how the crowd cheered (with funny comments) and boo-ed (ya, for our own team *peng*) for the Singapore team. Of course, not forgetting to take some pics...

After which, we watched Transformers at Vivo. Yeah, another childhood favorite, just like Ninja Turtles. I remembered vaguely that I used to like the red one, jie jie the yellow one, gor gor the blue one... huiying leh? Belle's rating for the movie- 9.2/10. Graphics and storyline is great. The remaining 0.8... well, i thought the different robots are supposed to combine into into? deduct points for not doing so (who knows i remember wrongly)... haha.
