Graduation Day .. 毕业了!

27th March 2009 - the day i placed a full stop on my education life. Actually this full stop was placed as early as 18th July last year, and comparing both i was way much happier on that day of my FYP presentation instead. But the school only has 1 graduation ceremony per year, and this means you can wait up till a maximum of 9 months after you completed your studies to attend your graduation ceremony.

Nevertheless this day was certainly a milestone to remember for me. Counting back i have attended a total of 16.5 years of education to get to this point. From PAP to primary to secondary to polytechnic to university .. all certainly left some form of memories for me to recall the days that have passed. Time to share some of the photos:

The closing of a chapter!




The best group one could ever ask for




The men of the family - Dad and Brother


Eldest sister


Second sister


A couple of friends dropped by after lessons - Thanks!


FYP group


The guests of honours


IDA Top Student Award winner who happens to be my polytechnic classmate (P.S. who also told me that the award is only a medal, no money like everyone thought!)


And lastly, well done to all of us!

后记:
I'm happy to say that with this, officially i have reached all the goals i set for myself to accomplish back when i was 16, when i set for myself to reach all of the goals in 10 years time, and i did it with a year to spare. But i can't explain why i wasn't 100% happy. I guess some of it has to do with currently there is nothing much i can look forward to, something i don't like. I'm the type of person who finds motivation in the things i do, and right now there isn't much for me to drive forward. I guess it is time to bring forward the next batch of goals~

And also is my mother's recent hospitalisation, which also explains why she was not present at this ceremony. Worried for her, as this time it seems more serious. She have also lost quite a bit of weight compared to the past. Is it god's practice to let people suffer a setback when everything seems smooth sailing? Because if it is, i am challenging god's will. I am challenging the saying that people when at the peak, will fall down heavily when encountering a setback.

一些值得推荐的专辑

这些都是最近我觉得还不错的专辑, 虽然有点旧了, 可是绝对值得推荐你去听一听:

梁静茹的水准终於回来了! 她在我心目中从 "最会去看的女歌手的演唱会" 前三名, 变成让我觉得专辑越来越差 (丝路, 崇拜). 一直到我听到这一张, 才让我再找回喜欢听她的歌的原因. 她的歌听了很舒服, 很适合在晚上听.

推荐的歌: 没有如果, 别再为他流泪, 情歌


黄靖伦在新加坡的 "绝对Superstar" 毫无任何起眼的表现, 一跑到台湾的 "星光大道" 却变成人气王, 而且成绩也不错, 一出局便立刻出专辑的他, 嗓音应该算偏高, 可是最重要的是, 他让我在 KTV 有更多适合我唱的 key 的歌~!

推荐的歌: 走音, 缺席, 月光


新的可爱教主, 自从杨丞琳变 "半熟" 之后, 就轮到卓文萱了. 一直以来就觉得她的歌很不错, 说到外表人美又可爱, 对我来说是 100% 完美, 可是不知道歌就是少了一点什么. 不过这张专辑有很多可以让她表现出可爱的一面的歌, 然后深情的歌也很赞. 一直在 MTV 台看到她的歌, 可是却一点也不会腻.

推荐的歌: 爱的城堡, 独家快乐, 一句话, 超级喜欢

小破财

破财的几天, main reason is due to ... I accidentally scratched the right side of my car =.= Normal drivers have a higher chance of scratching the left side compared to the right due to the obvious -> we are sitting on the right. We can see and judge better when driving on narrow roads or finding that "just-enough" space between cars. And yet i choose to defy the odds and do the opposite. It happened between both sides of the walls. Or more specifically, driving down a one car-size down slope at the multi storey carpark. Actually i went too fast also, partly my own fault, and its purely scratching against the wall, no dents, but the impact was great enough to shake you around and ya, let the workshop earn money. Although i haven't sent it there yet. thought i should "accumulate" (touch wood, hopefully not, of course) more "incidents" before giving a makeover all over. 我的钱 ...

Recently the topics discussing with colleagues are about the slumping economy. AGAIN, more $ fly away. Although luckily i am not really affected by it for now. I checked for fun the prices for new condos that are coming up, cos there are a few, and i kinda expected it to be lower given the situations now. But no, 还是这么贵! Pretty depressed by it. But currently i am still rather blur on the whole house purchasing thing, maybe when i have stepped one leg into the property business, I can have a better idea. There must be a way out. 我的钱 ... 请你只认识 "加" 和 "乘" 吧 ...

On a lighter note, finally received my graduation ceremony letter. 27 March is the day, although i was surprised it is held at 10am. 也太早一点了吧.
