Yday, Thursday, was my graduation ceremony.. After studying in ITE for a total of 3 years, doin both the NITEC and HIGHER NITEC program, i have finally come to and end of my course of study in Business Admin.

I can finally put a close to a wonderful and beautiful chapter of my life.. During my NITEC years, i did have some fun with my friends.. Could still remember i was wif this group of Indian girls and one of them was Nythia.. hehe we had our "Kuta Kutia" Club... hehe

Lots of stuff happened while i was in NITEC.. Like there was once i fought with a girl and well haha thinking back, it was quite funny.. Later after graduating, i was stuck at the cross roads not knowing wat would happen to me.. It was either NS or Higher NITEC (if i made the cut)

By God's grace, i made it into Higher NITEC and well i was indeed bless.. Had my fav airport job, my course i loved, my high maintainenced life (i bought wat i wanted) and of course a world of my own.. Life was indeed good..

There were of course days that i disliked however, those were just to bring me back to my human self.. Guess having too many ups isnt tat good so have to have a balance?? Anyway i guess my more happier days was while i was in my Higher NITEC..

Every moment was truely indeed an enriching experience and well opportunities came one after another.. From work, a friend frm SQ, recommended me into helping out in IOC wif SQ.. then later, thru my Events Management module, i did Global Entropolis. These were some of my memorable experiences..

Though all this have come to an end and i have to put a close to this chapter in life, it will remain in my heart forever.. The bitter sweet moments are what made me the person i am today :)

Yday wen i went for my graduation ceremony, i was extremely disappointed cos no one from my class attended the ceremony and i very much wanted to see them but well firstly it goes to show the class spirit and well i guess eventually my assuption was rite that no matter how many times in life we say that we will be friends forever, this friendship will NEVER be forever cos its 100% impossible.
Being friends means accepting ones flaw and faults more then acceptin the good side and tats me..

In anycase, i was placed wif Licia's class and well we had a good time ourselves too.. We were finally glad tat we were able to make it into the local poly.. The ceremony was a very quick affair... Was glad it was a fast one.. hehe..

3 of us later well grabbed a little something to eat and then headed to take our certs.. We were given this holder which i tot we had to return and it looked like this year, ITE had a higher budget for such stuff.. U'll know y in e pic below

The reason to y i said ITE has a higher budget set aside for such stuff tis yr cos wen i graduated in NITEC, i had a paper folder..

Most of the guys who were they yday, were making friends with others cos they would be goin to Tekong today and well looking at it, i dunno if i should feel happy or sad.. Initially wen i got accepted into poly i tot of rejecting the offer and head to NS first however if i did so, i would lose the momentum to study and i didnt wan tat to happen to me..

Therefore i took time to well weight the pros and cons and well i think now it is evident to all on my choice.. ;)

For sometime, i was in depression and well yday wen i was at e graduation ceremony, talking to Liwei and Licia, it sorta opened my eyes to many things and well lets jus say im fine now jus tat e hurt is recovering??

Licia and Liwei had PBL for a project and volunteered to help them.. hehe so happy can flaunt wat i learnt in RP to those who arent sure wat PBL is.. heheh..

After the ceremony, Liwei and i left and well we were sharing abt us (Licia, Liwei and I) getting wat we wante but yet now tat we have wat we want, we arent well appreciating or tressuring wat we have.. well to an extend we are capable of getting wat we wan but after getting it, we question ourselves asking "Is this really wat we want" and well looking at those who wan to be where we are, i guess we would be thankful but yet we are contemplating and to an extend there are things are contradicts the things we do..

Maybe Liwei and i shld switch our dips with each other.. She take my current events and i take her Hospitality.. hehe wat say u liwei?? Cos if i do Hospitality, i have a better chance to join SQ and she loves Events.. but we are doin our current course which is a flare in us kinda like a sideline..

As for licia, guess she too share e same sentiments as us..

Anyway, after tat, headed home to change and left home again to meet a friend for movies.. watched "The Omen" and well ok lah so so.. After which we headed to tis coffee shop for dinner.. Hmm the place had like pple to usher u to seat and even take ur order however, the quality of the food wasnt so gd..

So the augmented product was gd but the actualy product was erm not up to standard.. Did i say it rite?? Hmm anyways.. yea.. my friend headed home while i headed to another friend's place.. Walked to his place from City Hall.. his place was near Liang Court and yea.. hehe bought a beer and was drinking it while i was walking.. Was amsterdam.. not bad ba..

Not tat i drink all e time but yday was one of the days i drank.. Rare occassions.. hehe.. Had Haagen Daz ice creams one of my all time fav and watched tv.. kinda dozed off along e way and my friend called a cab for me..

I wasnt tipsy but well jus tired and slpy ba cos it was like wat.. 1 plus?? and soon e cab came so yea she accompanied me dwn to the cabby and yea.. Reached home kinda tot of blogging but well i decided not to...

Jus woke up at like 1145.. so been online since..

Hmm last night while i was at my friend's place, Nigella's was on Discovery Travel and well the way she prepared this italian ice cream gelato its called.. yummy and lookin at e way she cooks, jus the simple ingradient like sugar, its simple and yet when used, it can jus make the outcome of the food so lovely and beatiful..

Just like in life, jus a simple intangible substance like air or Oxygen, its e essense of life.. Without this simple things tat we take for granted, it would be nothing but a lifeless meat sack... Therefore i guess tis again is another simplicity of life..

Simplicity of life depends on ones definition of it..
