Spending a Day with Frens
Spent this nice Friday with Sarah and Hanyong. The idea was mooted yesterday, after we went to collect our grad gown tog. Hmm...after putting on that gown, I really had the sensation that we r really graduating now. Felt kind of surreal and a bit sentimental as I adjusted the mortar board on my head and the person taught me how to lace on that ribbon onto the gown. Sarah said that I looked like a scholar haha. That was really e 1st time someone told me that. And I was thinking that, truly, we r very fortunate to graduate from this place I've come to love a lot. I have experienced true friendships, loved and be loved, learnt analytical skills and most of all, blossomed as a lady (some of my frens out there may disagree with this last point. but! hmph! hahahaah). For all my dissatisfaction with the admin and my disappointment abt not having been able to go on SEP, I think that overall my time in NUS had been one that I'll cherish.
Anyway we met at City Hall and we proceeded to Suntec City for lunch. After walking around, we decided on this restaurant which I can't rem the name liao, but served lotsa promotional dishes. We spent quite some time trying to decipher e menu becos the layout was a bit messy hahaha. The food was so-so and the place was rather noisy, esp when e lunchtime crowd started streaming in. But we still managed to have fun talking to one another.
Left soon and went over to Millenia Walk, where we decided to stay at Burger King to just snack (yes! again) and chat some more. Millenia Walk brought back some memories for me, but e past shall remain e past. Think my laughter echoed throughout BK, but some of the things we said were really tickling lah. It was such a cool time, achieving nothing but enjoying one another's company, e 2 of us unemployed blokes and one relaxing gal abt to enter e teaching profession. Once, this Indian little boy wearing cute Tigger navy blue double shirt ran ahead of his mom to the door. As he waited for his mom, he swung around to face us and covered his face. His mom laughed and she told him to say bye to us. He came over and I shook his hand before he walked out. Think he was too far away from Sarah so he couldn't shake her hand, but she joked that I have young and old admirers hah!
As we walked back, Sarah and I window shopped along e way. No nice black court shoes to wear for our convo. And we need e white shirt too. Nice Hanyong patiently waited for us. I tell u, this guy will make a great husband hahaahah. Not that we took a long time lar. But woah e GSS really helped make City Hall area a very congested place.
To Weijin who officially started work today: jia you!
To e rest of e guys, in NIE or otherwise: Keep the spirits up!
