convocation

The BUCM gown which is surprisingly nice :)


And so we've finally come to the end of 5 years. Don't know whether to feel happy or sad. But am somehow feeling emo now. There's no big deal in graduation, cos it's just a formality, or rather the mark of another milestone in life, and it only serves to remind us that we're no longer students, but graduates (I somehow still prefer the term "undergrad") who have no choice but to step out into the working world and face tougher decisions about politics, rice bowls and the future rather than eat snakes behind the piles of books and make fun of teachers. Nevertheless, it marks the end of 5 tough, tear-filled, fun-filled, memorable and beautiful years of our youth. Most people probably only don the gown once in their lifetime so I guess it's still an event worth the expensive flowers and bears. Regret not taking enough photos, not having enough time and not being able to meet boss and the labmates. We were probably having our second convocation while all the fun was going on outside. Well I hope we have a great and memorable photoshoot outdoors whenever we finally find the time to have it. Had to face reality and go back to school for intership today, and continue worrying about the exams and the future. Sigh. I think we're all gonna have wrinkles and worry-lines and an overdose of cortisol (the stress hormone - I had to google it cos I forgot the name -.-) in the days to come. May we all get our license and secure jobs. And may the stupid imchim board not implement the skills-upgrading policy that involves the computation of points and the robbery of more money from our already-empty pockets.


I feel old yet again :(



I need a good photographer. Can't stand blur and badly-composed pics. SIANNN.
