the vending machines :P cute little grad bear bear i bought last min for my bro :P me killing time b4 ceremony

ceremony quite long, ended ard 4plus and one uncle even fell asleep openly with his mouth wide opened. had to wait for a few pages of grads b4 my bro's turn to go on stage. tried to take pics of him accepting the cert but stupid cam blurred coz the distance was too far... noticed that there weren't as many lecturers from london as our yr and their gowns werent as "impressive" as our year (they used to look like wizards fr harry potter or lord of the rings that yr :P)

the ceremony

the reception after was chaotic!! think too many pple this yr and they had to set up the buffet both indoors at the main lobby and outdoors near the koi pond and the spiral stairs... selection limited and they ran out of fruits and cakes very fast. some uncles and aunties even attacked the fruit decorations (which have been there since the morning session, ewwww...) and some even took the flowers fr the displays!! mum says that the buffet spread was better at my grad and the crowds were urm, more "civilised" :P we stood ard eating while matt n wife were busy taking pics.. met my ex mgt lecturer nageb and he actually recognised me n remembered my name. even suan me abt that time when i skipped his lecture to go m'sia :P...

matt and nageb family :)

went ard to take more pics at the koi ponds and in front of the building. met karen's cousin who graduated in the same batch with his gf and karen's aunt too. by the time we were leaving, it was oredi 6plus... was quite "inspired" to take up studies once again so went to pick up application form for the grad diploma course which i was eyeing and realised the sat was the closing date so had to go back down to sim the next day with all my documents to submit. was sure whether i could afford the time to study yet (3 times a wk!! for a year) but decided to sign up first n decide later.

me and bro acting cute :P catch!!

my school :)
