Success doesnt come to you.. you have to go for it!!!: Commencement 2008

Woo hoo~~... I have offically graduated from NUS!!! (like finally.. phew!!) haha.. was kinda busy today.. reached sch at around 9.. got everything ready by 930.. yiyi bought me a nice cute nus lion bear bear... (thanks yiyi!!) hehe.. snap a few shots with the big nus bear den we had to move in to the auditorium liao.. got to be seated by 940.. den the 2 pple sitting to my left and right.. asked me this:" u are gwendolin rite??" i was like ya.. i m.. how do noe?? den they said:" oh coz u always sit in between of us during exams when u took the same econs module as us... haha.. so qiao.. haha..

During the ceremony... sang our national anthem.. followed by a speech by a first class hons graduand (her speech was interesting.. she mentioned tt... when pple around u gives u their support.. one can den go on to pursue one's dreams.. coz she was saying she thinks she is a bad mum.. coz it has been long since she tuck her kid to bed.. and din realise her kid grew tt tall liao.. she was lucky to haf a supportive husband and a sensible son.. w/o their support.. she wont haf her achivements today)... den e event began.. by having the graduates (class of 2008) to go on stage.. to haf a hand shake wif the pro-chancellor.. and get our degree scrolls..

Clapping and clapping and clapping... haha.. finally it was my turn.. oh gosh.. i m very nervous.. i haf been thinking of this scenerio for the past few weeks.. wat if i fell? wat if my hat dropped when i am halfway thru? wat if my gown's hook dropped off... haha.. alot of wat if.. thousands of eyes staring at me.. it will be damn embarassing if any of tt happen.. haha... ok back to the stage.. it seemed small.. but when my name was called.. the road to the pro-chancellor seemed very very long... i walked and walked.. wif my super high heels.. (enduring the pain).. nv ending road... i dun seem to reach the other end.. i dunno wat got into me.. dunno why am i so nervous.. haha.. but i really was!!! finally i reached.. shake hands wif him and walked down to collect my actual degree scroll... haha.. and everything went smoothly.. luckily all my "wat if" din happen.. wahaha..

B4 the end of the ceremony.. there was a loud bang and many balloons of diff colors flew down... beautiful!!! haha.. had a light refreshment.. den began my photographing again.. haha.. UCC was super duper packed... and it was hard to gather a group of friends for phototaking oso.. coz i got diff group of friends... sometimes i really wonder wat will happen if i were to stay in hall during my sch days.. coz naturally.. u will noe a bigger group of friends (tt noe each other in one way or another).. haha... but den again.. they might be juz hi bye friends.. in uni.. i muz admit tt its hard to make friends... esp true friends... i m glad i found a few really good and true friends.. recalling back.. when i was accepted by ntu... i did apply for a hostel room... to be shared by Emily... we manage to get a room... budden in the end.. i decided to go for NUS instead of NTU.. Emily decided not to stay in the hostel oso... But when i come to nus.. i din pply for the hostel.. reason being... staying in hostel means after lessons.. i will still be in sch compound.. dun like this kinda feeling.. haha.. although my travelling hrs are long... 4hrs a day (to and fro)... but i am glad to be able catch 95 to the interchange... as this means i am leaving the sch compound... back to my lovely home (home sweet home).. haha... at least i can leave the "horrible stressful" sch everyday.. haha.. and if i were to stay in the hall and go back home once a week.. i will definitely miss my parents and my beloved sis.. haha.. she is a good listener ok.. hehe.. we dun haf any secrets de wor.. ok wait.. why am i saying all this?? haha... Shall post the photos i took today.. kaicheng gor is waiting liao.. haha...
