The one thing I did well for the past 22 years of my life have ended - studying. Next, I will have to compete on another field and I hope my friends and I will continue to do well! I will always look back fondly to these times...
The commencement ceremony took place on 10th July.
Here's yours truly in a graduation gown. I wore a blue blouse (which has accompanied me to most interviews as well) with a skirt as I didn't want to look like I am naked under my gown. Tradeoff was feeling hot every second I wasn't in an air conditioned room.
White for business!
Me and my parents. Words cannot express how thankful and grateful I am to my parents, who were with me for every step of my life. They not only supported me financially (16 years of allowance + school fees + sponsoring a portion for my all my overseas trips), they were always there to give me advice/help whenever I felt confused/down. It was getting to harder for them to earn money, especially in recent years and hopefully I can help out soon, when I start on my work.
The next person I wanna thank is L! I've known him since Y1S2 and he was always there for me to listen to my complaints and always found a way to make me happy. I will always remember those times when he'd surprise me with food at the MRT station after I've had a late meeting and was exhausted. And also how he would wait for me to end school at MRB and then we would head out for dinner together!
My grandma & I! She looked so happy! Cus I am the first person in the Ng family to get a degree. I used to stay at her house when I was in primary school. Some nasty things happened and we couldn't stay at her house when I went to secondary school. Despite that, my grandma and I are still very close as I would visit her house every Sunday (most Sundays anyway). I love the home-cooked food she makes! She would always make it a point to cook at least a fish dish cus she knows I like it. I like talking to my grandma as well as she always see things very simply and listening to her opinion always made me feel that I am actually very fortunate despite my problems.
My sister and I. She took leave off her internship to attend my commencement ceremony. I would be sure to return the favour two years later! Despite some occasional arguments we have, I am glad to have a sister who always know how to save money for me and talk with me late into the night! We are so comfortable with each other cus we have seen each other's worst behavior.
My korean friends!! What an enjoyable 5 months we had together... How I wish I could go back to those times. Cus I was carefree and we had such good/funny moments together. Those memories, I will hold it close to my heart.
Finally, AG Z! In biz, we kinda had classes called Alumni Group. We had the same lessons in Y1 and I really missed having lessons with them later in my uni years. Cus they are all so friendly (and not-the-super-competitive-type)! I have also made some good friends here as well.
Finally I would like to thank Oli, Debra, Max and Glenn for coming to the commencement! I really hope we will continue to stay as close cus I always have so much fun whenever we meet!
And that, is my commencement.
Cheers to our next phase of life!
