we had a BBQ at the newly renovated sembawang park (which is called something else actually, but i forgot what), complete with cartered BBQ food!!! i.e. no marinating or buying of food needed wahahha... but we need to bbq the food ourselves of coz.

i love BBQs lar... nvr miss any of them, unless i had no choice...




the park is pretty nice! and coz it's heartlandish, we were the only ones there... so we sort of had the entire park to ourselves...




the food was soooooooo much!!!!! i totally love the grilled crabsticks and the chicken and the stingrays and the sambal sotongs...

the stingrays were the ultimate best lar! seriously... and it was so nice of my frens to get the baked potatoes for me, coz i requested for them... haha...

sometimes i think i mite be americanish at heart, when it comes to food. i cant live without potatoes or cheese!




as usual, i forgot to take photos, until towards the end of everything... so all i can present to u all, is this damn cui photo of the leftover food, complete with chao tar-ed sausages... haha...

and den we had cheap cheeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaappppppppppppp Ben&Jerrys for dessert! all thanks to our dearest cheng hui, who got each tub for about $5!




Lester came specially for the ben&jerrys haha... look at his delighted face... hee...

and some random photos coz i was too full to eat anything and i love going around snapping at ppl... haha...




we had vodka too!!!! that totally explains Terry's red red face... altho he kept insisting it's tanned and not red... -_-'''

the entire night was damn fun lar!!!! complete with nonsensical conversations, updates about each other's lives, jokes, riddles and good foooooodddd!




and of coz, the bestest boyfren who accompanied me there! (altho i noe he went mainly for the ben&jerrys wahhaha)...

now, we're just waiting for SIM to organise the stayover at his hse, and the zouk night out!!!!!! WHEEEEEeee!



went out with les the next day... aft he came to my hse to stayover aft the BBQ... speaking of the stayover, he showed me this damn stoopid website with tons of interesting stuff on it... and we spent the entire night laughing over that website... i think it's oddees.com... check with him =)

we woke up the next morning and went to the gym near my hse!

i've started to gym pretty often again... the last time i had so much time to do this is prob like in year 2?! and we're both pretty obsessed with getting healthy and fit now (not by dieting, but by exercising), so it feels quite good to have gyming companion =))

anyway, aft tat we went to the food fest at Taka!!!




this yr's foodfest is pretty small scale lar, compared to the past yr's at suntec convention hall... but food is still pretty goooooood!




it was a pretty cheap lunch for us coz we spent abt $10 in total and we ate tons of good food fr diff ctys... and they made us surprisingly bloated and full even tho the portions are pretty small...




his small face always makes my face looks so huge! arghhhhh!
and the reason why we look so sulky here is coz we were desperately tryin to take a photo in the midst of throngs of ppl pushing ard us -_-'''

went window shopping aft tat... and i found a potential "fashion statement"...




u'll be surprised that u ACTUALLY still can see aft u put on those shades... and i kinda like it lar! it looks quirky and kinda weird but in a nice way. damn funky! i wan the yellow ones!!!!!!! aahaa...




my convocation day started off on a pretty bad start coz of the bloody cab which made me and my parents wait for 16mins!!!!!!! i called for it okay. and it was supposed to reach in 3 mins.

we waited for 3 mins, and den i decide to be nice and wait awhile more coz i noe traffic conditions are unpredictable. so we waited for another 7mins. and STILL NO CAB! so i called the company again and they double checked for me, and told me that the driver CLAIMED that he's stuck at a jam in Yew Tee (we were at Choa Chu Kang at that time) and will reach in 3 mins.

actually that sounded kinda weird alr, coz Yew Tee NEVER had a jam before BUT nvm, i decided to be nice STILL and gave him the benefit of doubt and so we waited.
oh by the way, fr Yew Tee to Choa Chu Kang shd take abt 1 min to reach.

BUTTTTTT we waited for bloody another 7mins. and by then i was hopping pissed coz it's 9.10am and i'm supposed to reach LATEST at 940am. so i called the company ready to explode. and they claimed they cant contact the cab driver. and they said "we'll send you a replacement cab now". wah laoooooooooooooooooooooooo.

i'm usually not so anal over these kinda things. but when i've something impt to attend and i'm in a rush, SO i call a cab right?!?!!??! that's the purpose of calling for one and paying that extra $3! and u still made me wait for 16mins, making me later than i would have if i had taken public transport. AND still wan me to pay that booking fee of $3 in the end. pissed.

aiya. but in the end i still paid. coz the driver of the replacement cab was very nice and very friendly and very sincere, and the whole thing wasnt his fault AT ALL, and i have a soft spot for old ppl who looks very chi xiang. =)

so safely at UCC for commencement!!!! the whole thing took surprisingly quick, only 1 hr 15 mins i think. luckily junli and alvin and jinxian and jinrui were all sitting near me, so i had entertainment for the entire ceremony (which would otherwise be shit boring) haha...

i was actually kinda nervous a few secs before i had to go on stage. coz suddenly i tot "what if i trip and fall?"... but anyway everything went smoothly and i got my degree scroll! =)

camwhoring aft commencement...





the whole place was so chaotic and everyone looks the same to me, plus that stoopid mortar board (hat) was so cumbersome coz everytime u go too near to someone, both ur mortar boards will hit each other... -_-'''

anyway more photos with my class ppl!










anyway do you see that HUMONGOUS bouquet of flowers in my hands?!?!?!?!!?!?!? that's from dearest lester!!!!!!

you won't believe howwwwwwww freaking good it feels to come out from the commencement hall, all robed in ur grad gown and amidst the crowd, see your entire family standing there with your boyfriend, who's holding this huge bouquet of flowers in his hands and a gift in a bag, all smiling at you... =)

oh, i'll show you what the gift is later =)











okay lar, there're more photos with other frens... but all look roughly the same... so i dun wanna bore u all haha...











and photos with my pillar of strength throughout the past 3 years (coz we got tgt only when i was in yr 2 haha)... i can safely say, it wont be so easy coming to where i am now, standing on stage receiving the scroll for second lower honors if it wasnt for you.

for frens who knew, i've been in 3rd class for the past few sems, clamouring to get to second lower coz it's so near yet so far. and seriously, sometimes it's not easy, coz it's so much more tempting to juz give up and be satisfied with a 3rd class...

but u had more faith in me den i ever had in myself, and that kept me goin... so half the degree scroll is yours!!!! haha =)




he was the sweetest during the entire commencement ceremony, coz he followed me around with my camera, and became my personal photographer for the entire day, which is why i was able to be supaly efficient and take photos with all the ppl tat i wanted to take with within a span of 1.5hrs =)




next yr, we'll take the same photos, but this time, with the robe on you! =)

and amidst all the chaos and photo-taking, i FINALLY managed to take a solo photo in my grad gown.




and my fav photo of the day!




anyway! the reason why i was kinda rushing through the photo-taking (and i'm sorry, i didnt managed to take photos with some of u, and i didnt managed to say bye before i left) is coz i made a table reservation at PRIMA TOWERS REVOLVING RESTAURANT for my family at 1.30pm!!!

it was a treat from me for my family of 5, my aunt and lester... coz i got my first pay sometime ago, and i thought it's perfect timing to treat all of them after commencement, since everyone took leave fr work/sch to come down for my ceremony, so they deserve something in return! haha...




the restaurant really does revolve!!!!!! i mean, when we first got into the restaurant, you cant really feel it... but after we sat down and ate for near to an hr, suddenly u realise the scenery outside has changed!

we started off looking at a scenery of construction works and containers... and aft awhile we were looking at beautiful beautiful sentosa! haha... but the revolution is really really really very slow and slight...

and some of the dishes that i REMEMBERED to take photos of! haha...




wah lao! the food was freaking GOOOOOOOODDDDDDD okay!!!!!! go ask lester. he savoured every bite that he took haha... it was absolutely FANTASTIC lar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i took a set meal of 8-course... and this is the list of food we ate!!! (taken fr their website):


superb okaaaayyyyy!!!!

my fav was the shredded scallops, and the soup and the peking duck!!!!

everyone's fav is the peking duck! it's like the best thing there lar!
actually i took my family to this place coz i first saw a tv show introducin the peking duck there... and i have a huge craving for it! u noe those barbequed duck skin wrapped together with celery and sweet sauce?!!??!?!

yeah! i totally love those!

anyway! more photos!




who bought me a COACH pouch for graduation gift =))
i never knew graduating can get me so many gifts wahhaha...

and a family photo, all of us feeling damn full and bloated haha...




i spent S$300 on this lunch, treating all 6 of them.
but when you look at their faces and the food all placed in front of us, it's all worth it... =)
totally.

we walked around vivocity for awhile aft tat, den my aunt treated all of us to Ben&Jerrys! hahaha... seriously, i think i put on like 2 kg just during that 2 hrs itself...

my family then brought all my stuff home, and i went out with lester haha...






didnt do much in town... coz town's soooooo uber boring!!!!!!! and we didnt feel like watching movie, neither do we feel like shopping... so we just walked around for awhile, ate SOME MORE desserts (haha!) then went home to rest...

i think the whole entire day was pretty tiring lar, somehow. even though we didnt do anything strenous... haha...

anyway!!!! stuff fr the dearest boy!!!




isnt the "me-to-you" bear damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn freaking cute!!!!!!

it even comes with a mortar board and a degree scroll lar!!! wah lao. so cute.
and the bouquet of flowers is humongous, it's the largest i've ever received from him haha...

according to him, he went to the florist and told the florist he wans the largest bouquet ever possible for graduation... haha... coz he claims that taking photos with a large bouquet is much much nicer (which is true by the way)...

so throughout the entire photo-taking session aft commencement, everytime he sees someone else with a bouquet, he'll gleefully point out that his is larger... -_-'''
