I bid thee farewell

Dear all, here is my last blog before i set off for the foreign land of South Africa... alittle scary if ya ask me, but then again, so is Little India..... kidding!!!!!! hahahah.... pls pray for our safety as we venture into the unknown....
 
Just had convocation yesterday too... alot of comments. first they give us this small-ass room to change in. It can hardly fit fifty people and they expect 400+ of us to squeeze inside to robe up. It should be called a knee-to-elbow-to-face room rather than a robing room, as such was the situation. After we manged to suqeeze our feet past our face into the robe, they made us wait around for dunno how long before the professors and deans started to make their way in. Now, watz the deal with the pace at which they walk down the stiairs?? I understand that there' nice elevator music and all to accompnay their entrance but then again, to be walking at a rate of 2cm/ hr is ridiulous. The ceremony hadn't started and i was already falling asleep... not good.
 
So thruout the ceremony, i was reading my book until it came to my name. So i got up and made my way across the auditorium and lined up. Was telling myself not to cock this up........but then again........ that wouldn't be me rite??? Soooo, as the story goes, i made my way across the stage all confidently to receive my "empty NTU cert thingie". stuck out hand to shake the Dean's one and jacked him in the nuts..........
 
 
Nahhhh.. i'm jus kidding... hahaha.. wat happened was that i shook his hand, then raised my other hand to hold the cert thingie. But alas, i made a parallax error and did not grasp the thingie properly... soooooo, my 12 dollar photo of me has me holding thin air while my beautiful smile pretends there's nothing wrong... great... i cant wait for them to send me the photo in 6 weeks time.... bah...
 
Notice everyone is particularly frenly during the after-convocation party. No request for a photo is turned down... Photos here and there, and everywhere else. My eyes had those patches where u cant see anything beocz of the flashes after a while. Better still, we dressed up our compatriots who were late for their ceremony...
 
I know itz kinda cheesy but i haf to thank me mom and dad for putting me thru uni man... and thanx for coming down to the ceremony Jamie!! She came down all the way even tho she was tired from the trip back from Bangkok.... hee.... really appreciated dear...
 
all rite.. thatz all for me now... i'll try and think of some stuff to blog when i get back from SA... haha... u can check out the convo fotos at the usual photo website...heh.... take care ya'll!!
