A moment of pride and glory...=P

24th July 2006 bore testament to 4 years of my hard work, mixed with tears and sweat...It proved that I have not been working so hard for nothing, and that it was all worthwhile... =)

I started off the day by going to work, until about 11.00 in the morning. Daddy came to pick me up, we went for breakfast, before heading off for school (NTU) for the convocation.

That's my dear daddy and mummy, while waiting for entrance into the auditorium... You see me in the background, trying to put on the mortar board. Everyone else were struggling to put on the gown and the hood. For me, it's all thanks to my dear mama who helped me painstakingly sew the hood permanently onto the gown, thereby making my life an easy one... =)


That's Cherine and I, while she was helping Liyang fasten the hood onto his gown...
*guys*...tsk tsk.

"Eh, even though you are the star, don't forget us!! We are the stars behind the stars!! "

There's me!! One of the proudest moment in my life..(Although I do hope I will be able to have more chances like this in the future...)

Mama said something which actually quite made sense... she said "the higher you study, (i.e.: the masters or even the PhD), the uglier the hat gets..."...hmm.

There's the people who sits in the back while witnessing you get the cert. They are the ones with the "ugly" headgear. Though I wouldn't mind wearing it.. haha

Here's Prof Su Guaning, the director of NTU. Kelvin nicely summarised his purpose for being there. He said "Throughout the whole ceremony, he only said two things. 'I hereby pronounce the NTU Convocation 2006 open', and 'I hereby pronounce the NTU Convocation 2006 closed'. Haha. ". I think it nicely summarizes what his purpose of being there was. =P

There's my turn!! Click on the "play" button to watch the video...




That's me after the ceremony..

My proud parents and me...
Da and I. Though I wonder why he looks so unhappy...

After the graduation, it was a big mess outside the auditorium. Basically, you took photos with whoever was there that you could see, and who knew you.. haha.

We left the place soon after, becuase it was getting very warm, and also because I was hungry.. It was a loloooooonnnnnnng walk back to where we parked,..
We went to Parkway Parade for dinner...STEAMBOAT!! Yummy!!
