great. i had my entire blog entry planned out in the morning.. and now i've completely forgotten every single thing. how convenient. that's why i don't blog anymore..

actually? the desire to blog has pretty much dissipated. [brilliant deduction edna. as if no one realised that yet] honestly? after spending 12 hours facing 2 huge-assed screens at work.. coming home and blogging isn't exactly what i call relaxation y'know.

and yes. i do work 12 hours. sighs. i spend more time at office than i do sleeping. rawr. okay okay. i'm making things sound more serious than they really are.. let's start from the beginning. hmmm. come this tuesday.. i'd have been working for 3 months? [woohoo! milestone!] but the OT-ing only started about 2 weeks back..

then again. its probably gonna continue for the next 4 months. seeing that my "teacher" is going on maternity leave. [boohoo] so i guess that's goodbye to my social life [wait. what social life!?] goodbye to squeezing in irritatingly crowded mrts during the rush hour home. [thank goodness] goodbye to my sanity.

sian.

sometimes i get to a point of working that i wonder what all this is for. working you know? i'm not like angel.. filling the minds of our country's brilliant future with chemistry. all i'm doing is wasting a whole big bunch of paper. sometimes i feel like i'm 6 years old again.. playing "office" with my cousin claire.

shuffling paper.. opening and closing files.. scribbling stuff on paper. rushing to other places to get files so i can open and close them. banging away on the keyboard. cursing and swearing when i type something wrong. cursing and swearing when the printer runs out of paper.

except that i didn't curse and swear when i was 6.. or did i?

don't gimme crap about how i'm contributing to the economy. i wanna be out there! [tanning preferably] doing something worthwhile! [okay. i just realised tanning is exactly worthwhile] doing something i love! [tanning is definitely something i love]

sighs. then again. i'm not some millionaire's daughter.. so scratch that. don't worry. you'l see me back at my desk on monday. i'm not about to quit or anything.

but yes. lemme continue complaining about work before i move on to some pictures. haha. i have to face 2 huge-assed screens every single fucking day. sighs. i swear. i work till i tear. [as in cry] cuz my eyes hurt too damn much. sighs. [note to self: buy presentable spex] damn my vanity.

okay. end of ramblings about work. but i realised something. blogging is something like talking to yourself ainnit? then why am i adding in all those lil square brackets!? its like, i'm talking to myself on top of talking to myself. weird.

so i had my convocation a week ago on the 29th. it would've been nice dressing up in fancy harry-potter gowns and meeting up with all your classmates. BUT I HAD TO BE LATE. rawr. i got a shock when the usually late krystyn msg'd me at 8.30am "girl. are you here yet?" i was all like, "what the fuck are you talking about!? why would i be in school so freaking early!?"and then i found out that i had to be in school at 9.10am. great.

but i graduated. took my picture with some chao ang moh. receive a piece of paper which costs $27,000. and yes. here are the pictures..

note. i look horrid cuz 1) i seem to have lost all patience to spend hours in front of the computer [my eyes remb?] tweaking pictures. 2) i was late remb? i couldn't blow dry my hair properly.. my make up was half fucked. sighs. woe is me.



that's me that's me! first in the queue.. waiting to go up. praying that i wouldn't trip and fall in front of everyone. haha.



me with the lao ang moh. hahaha. evidently my dad was sitting really far away from the stage.



love and i. with the graduation stitch he got from me. now.. i wonder where he got that idea from?



oh i look like crap!! stop looking at me! but yea. that's krystyn. the ta pai late girl. who happened to be early for the convo which i was late for. -_-

i actually thought my hair was very brown.. but after looking at this pix. no what. quite normal. same color as hers what. hahah.



benson, cl and i.. man. i miss school. but then again.. cl just joined me at my work place. hahaha



together with andy yeo.



papa, mummy and i with my $27,000 piece of paper



love and i once more.. but this picture is blurry! emi jie's cam is too high tech for pa. haha



lastly.. family pix taken at gloria photo studio.. i must say they are fantastic! they have every conceivable gown.. both local and foreign university.. [free advertising. haha] pity dom kor didn't manage to find out what his master's degree gown looked like. sighs.

aidan, mummy, zachary, pa, brendan

don't you think zachary looks like a splitting image of my dad? the photo above was one of the 22 the studio gave me to choose from. but happily i returned the one that i wanted to be framed to the studio. haha. so you'l just have to make do with the second best. =D

well yups. i guess that's it for now. till the next time then! [god knows when that'l be] toodles!
