SMU Commencement 2008
After all the fun and laughters from Grad Nite, it was time to don the official graduation gown and go through the ceremony.
The ceremony to mark the official end of my 16 years of education.
I was home late the previous night (due to Grad Nite,and thank god I didn't go St James Power House or Zouk with the rest of the crowd), I didn't get up until 10am. No worries though since we only have to arrive at 1pm. Haha
My parents were super cute because it seemed that they were excited for the graduation ceremony (the last one they attended was their own like donkey years ago..). My mum was fussing over which pearl necklace should she wear, and my dad fussing over which tie he should wear. My sis was super chilled about everything because she wasn't attending (haha).
My mum helping my dad with his tie:
Commencement 2008! Should have taken a solo pict here. Lol:
I went off to the dressing room to change into my gown while my parents go roam ard Suntec because it was too early. The dressing room:
Changed!:
Youfen and me

Met Michelle on my way to the main ballroom. For the uninitiated, Michelle is my JC Band mate =)) Her elder bro is graduating this year as well:
Ran into Jimmy on the way to the ballroom as well. He was my orientation mate and I took most of my Yr 1 core modules with Jimmy and were projects mates for Comms and Economics modules as well:
My seat number:
I find the Professors' gowns really cool:
After all the speeches and whatsnot, Econs students proceeded down to Level 2 Ballroom 3. Well of course, before the ceremony starts, it's all about photo taking:
Prof Winston Koh and me

My new friend for the day, Robin! He was sitting next to me (number 104) and we started to chat. Hahaha. It's amazing to think that we have been in the same fac for 4 years (with only 116 students in my batch of Econ) but never saw each other before. Lol. But destined to be friends on our last day as SMU students:
After awarding the degree, it was time for group shot!! Getting ready:
I bet you dunno where I am:

I can't possibly put everything up coz I will go crazy having to resize everything..Haha.
It was an extremely tiring day given I didn't sleep much and there was much preparation work as well. Although some say I just need to attend, there's actually more than it meets the eye. I was totally restless for the whole of Sunday (didn't help that I slept at 4am and woke up at 8am) and almost overslept for work today. I so need to rest a few days man.
For those who didn't make it, still many thanks for congratulating me on my graduation =)
Now let me go find a dream job =)) Haha

SMU Grad Nite 2008 - Couleurs
Time to update about Grad Nite!!
I have gotta be the most last min person on earth when it comes to the Grad Nite this year. I got my dress the day before, my shoes like 3 hours before the event, and my bag about 2 hours before it.
That's a punishment for not having enough girly stuff at home. Haha.
No black and white. So no surprise, I chose pink:
Just ignore the mess I made in my room all because of Couleurs.

And can I totally complain about dinner clutch, they are so small u cant stuff much:
And I underestimated how light the material was for the dress. Once the wind blow, I can do a Marilyn Monro. Like seriously.

Yicui came over to drive us to Fullerton Hotel. The sceneries along the way were beautiful.....:
We ran into a crazy traffic jam:
We managed to reach Fullerton like...1 hour later than the meeting time because we got lsot trying to find the way into Fullerton. I swear no one should ever rely on me..to get directions because I am of no help. I usually keep quiet when you ask me directions. Haha.
In the lift:
The whole event started later because majority of the people were late and everyone was just busy catching up and snapping photos away. The ballroom:
President of SMU, Howard Hunter giving a speech:
Our fist dish, some prawn salad thing. Small in portion but really nice:
We had a letters game. Each table has an envelope with 10 random alphabets inside. Supposed to trade with other tables the alphabets you want to make a 10-letter word. The fastest table wins 2 bottles of wine:
Sends everyone into a frenzy of trading alphabets. Which reminds me of a trading floor - where people shout for deals and prices they want. But we shout for the alphabets we want:
Haha.
After that we had the drinking game. Where the person who drinks the last drop wins. So you either drink everything in the first gulp or you have other better strategies. Zhihon was really good. He drank the whole jug:
And so he won 2 bottles of wine for his table too.
