The Sister's Convocation

The middle sister had her convocation earlier today in NTU.

The first Degree Holder in my family. Needless to say, my mother was highly excited over it and have been planning 1) What to wear. 2) How to wear her hair. 3) To give or not to give flowers to the graudate. 4) What flowers ever since she knew the date, day and time. Every weekend when I see her, this topic is on her lips. =/

Anyway, the session is early early at 10am in NTU. But the sister wishes us to reach at 8.30am, so that she will have time to doll, get ready and basically prepare for it la.

Thank God for Tri Tri lor, she also early early waited downstairs my place then drove to me to fetch my mom and sister and then sent us all to NTU. Helps that her office there too la. So instead of reaching at 8.30am, we reached at 8am.

SUPER DUPER EARLY lor.

I know graduations are super long, so we all went for breakfast before attending the convocation. The sister's friends began streaming into the canteen then after that, the girls were in a frenzy when they were in the ladies!!!

Adjusting that gown, the motar board and that golden strip... whatever it's called. We stayed in the ladies for at least 30 mins for them to get ready! I was a part time MUA (make up artist) for that time too lei. Helped them to doll and adjust adjust...And by the time they were all done, they looked like they've just walked out from Hogwarts as in Harry Potter lor!

Anyway, fast foward to after the boring speeches and individual graduate up on stage....

Presenting the sister...The hugeass bouquet came from the mother. I told her graduation flower is Sunflower lo. She say the florist say a bouquet of sunflowers not nice. So end up with I don't know what flowers in that graduation bouquet la.

I told the sister.... the mother better make sure I get an equally bigass bouquet when I graduate. Else, I'll be chanting "unfair. UNFAIR." right into her ears!

Part of the family la la team.... Short of my youngest sis and dad. Coz the sister only has 2 tickets for the ceremony. So only mom and me attended.

Her friends say we look alike wor. Got meh?!

Anyway... after so many years of slogging.... Finally 毕业咯!!!

The sister again after all her hard work in NTU! Well Done Sista!

P.s She complained that people get the graduation bear but I got her this figurine instead... my retort... so common lor that bear! This more special ma. whahahahahahaha....

Next up will be my turn to graduate from SIM! CAN'T WAIT!

Song

If you've been watching the 10pm drama, you'll be familiar with this song....

石欣卉 - 我知道我变漂亮了

Lyric:
过去的批评嘲讽 (Let it go, let it go)
过去的轻蔑冷落 (Let it go, let it go)
有些人口不饶人却忘了瞧瞧自己 又有什么资格

时刻都善良待人 (let’s move on, let’s move on)
时刻都做好本分 (let’s move on, let’s move on)
有些人心思浅薄绝不是宽容 自暴自弃的理由

也许 确实也受过言语打击
也许 从来也没什么好际遇
千万别将勇气深锁在阴影里
我们又不会妨碍这世界继续美丽 咦耶~ 呼呜~ 呜~

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我被注意了)
曾难过 曾失落 微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流 耶咦耶~

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我也豁达了)
不自卑 不埋怨 就算还差一点点
用 内涵弥补一切缺陷内在的美
迷住每个人的眼 哦喔~

时刻都善良待人 (let’s move on, let’s move on)
时刻都做好本分 (let’s move on, let’s move on)
有些人心思浅薄
绝不是宽容 自暴自弃的理由

也许 想说的话总埋在心底
也许 想要的爱可望而不可及
竭尽全力争取 幸福会看到你
大声说 你的真心全世界最动听 呜呵~ 呜哦呜呵~

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我被注意了)
曾难过 曾失落 微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流 耶咦耶~

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我也豁达了)
不自卑 不埋怨 就算还差一点点
用 内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼 喔哦~

一个两个不懂 丑小鸭变天鹅啊
需要时间比较多
走过了伤痛才看得更通透
不到最后不会懂命运安排了什么
呜呵~呜喔哦~ 呜呵… 呵~~ 呵呃~

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我被注意了) (我变漂亮了)
曾难过 曾失落 微笑一下就过 (微笑就过)
外在的美貌容易戳破内在的美好细水长流 耶咦耶~

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我也豁达了)
不自卑 不埋怨 就算还差一点点
用 内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼 呜呼呜~

用 内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼

I like this song. Not everyone is blessed with good looks. But to transform, time & effort is needed. Not to mention the amount of courage!

Just because someone is not blessed with good looks, we can ostracize them?

2 more days to school

Lessons are going to be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for me this sem and with a blink of my peepers, school's STARTING!!! =(

I'm not sure to feel sad or happy or excited. Probably a mixture of everything. Sad that my holidays are over so fast, I could do with longer holidays. Yet, on the other hand, happy that it's starting. The faster I get it over, the faster I can get that damn piece of paper. Excitment, well, it's always exciting to have new modules, new tutors and lessons.

But amidst all these, I can't help but feel cheated too!

I have a module a 5 credit module, and typically, a 5 credit module will run for 6 weeks with and during these 6 sessions with the tutor and assignments before sitting for the exam at the end of the semester. But this module I'm taking, only has 3 sessions with the tutor, assignments and the exam at the end of the semester!

Just what am I supposed to learn within 9 hours, 8 minus away the breaks???

And it's still the same course fees of $750 for this module!!! PLUS till now, SUNDAY, I've not been able to find the course calendar, the lecture notes when the class commence on this coming Tuesday.

Not that I am a studious student, I just try to be prepared when I go for my classes but there's nothing lor!

Of course, with only 3 sessions, it also means I don't have to go to SIM so often, so that'll save me on my trips and time to go there. But no sessions, no materials, not even a schedule to tell us what we're supposed to be covering for the various sessions for this entire module, just how am I going to study for it?

Feel so cheated! =(

Too broke.

Cindy's sis has a friend working in US COACH... and I'm tempted to get the latest New Legacy Stripe Tote. Pretty ain't it?!

Got staff discount lei! Almost 25% off I heard. But....I'm just too broke to even afford it with the 25% staff discount now.

*sob*sob*

Dinner with the Lunch Time Kaki in Ma Maison on 25 June 08 in The Central. Between the 2 of us, we shared an appetizer and each of us had a main.
Our first time there and we like the food. We both have plans to bring our significant other for a meal one day soon.

Edited on 9 Jul to add: Since the lunchtime kaki has already blogged about it, now it's time to give her credits. Dinner was on her. She had a promotion and she bought me dinner to celebrate it! Hee.... She gets promotion, I also stand to gain lei! Well Done Kaki!!! Keep it up. Looking for your next level promo soon hor! =)

After satisfying dinner, we walked around and got some snacks and cutie clips. Which by now, all the snacks are already in Hubby's and my stomach. Saving the clips for my new semester. I just like having cute and new stationeries. Makes my lessons seems more interesting.

High Tea with the Girlies at Mezza 9, Grand Hyatt Hotel. First time meeting Genevieve & Jenny. Had fun with all of them and I guess, the last girlie outing for Momsy Cindy before she pops. *Pray she has a safe and smooth delivery!*

Food's not bad but the portion like so small lor. Must eat very daintily too. Else will ruin our image! =D

These skins caught my eyes!! They are soo cute! I can't decide if I should get them because though they are cute, but they are also too girly and cutsey for me lei. =/

But at this moment in time, I've decided to ditch all of those above... I've managed to convince Hubby to get 1 skin for me... and hee.... He got me this!!! MARIO skin!!!

Comes in 4 pieces lei! Top, the 2 screens and even the bottom! Wah... Now I can see Mario whichever way I flip my DS! COOL!!!!

My all time favorite character! Got Toad and Princess in it! So pretty and cute! Can't wait for it to arrive. It seems there is a 3-5 days wait for dispatch. And then another 5-10 days wait for shipping lei. So long!!! =(

Oh yes... Thank you Darling! =D

My current addiction... Mario Party DS game on NDS. I've already cleared the game using Toad. =) Now, playing using another character, each character will unlock different prizes. Want to collect all of it! hahahahahah.

I know my post is completely rojak but I don't have the mood and discipline to sit down and write it all out. Just wanna post but with little words.
