Ngee Ann Graduate Dinner @ Pioneer Spring Restaurant

After realising that I didnt attend the D&D for LSCT
(which was such a waste actually)
I gladly snap up the offer of attending the NP Graduate D&D
once I received the letter from the school
=)

How cool that the school sends you letter to attend a D&D?
Absolutely!

So last Friday evening
Me, Adrian, Steph, Desmond and Li Jiong met at Harbourfront MRT
It was yet again raining all the gigantic animals
But this time I prepared early and didnt have a bad hair day
like the other day during graduation itself
Phew!

Anyways you could see those dress nicely at the MRT station
were other graduates going for the D&D
Quite obvious right?

So we walked quite a distance to the bus-stop
And Steph's hair was becoming sticky due to her perspiration
Haiz
Girls do need to take cab for such events I guess
I mean they dress so pretty
Then make-up, high heels and etc
Should never ever perspire sia
But she chose to go along with us to take bus
Haha
*Thumbs up*


















Diamond Room wor!


















Anyways there was a small little crowd gathering at the 1st level

We then proceeded to go register oursevles at the counter


















See! Dr Lim very active in getting her students (US!) to register
Fast kung-fu hands there


















And check this out for the door gift
Kingston 2GB thumbdrive

Very practical and useful
Reminds me of that time when I discuss Royston's future wedding with him
Whereby he will hand out price lists on the latest promotion
And also give out free HDD for every table
Hahahaha!


















So we proceed to figure out where was our table...























Lucky Table #26


















And the menu for the day
























8-course dinner set
(sadly no roast pork....I'm devastated ='/)

Anyways pigs are my 2nd favourite animals
Right behind panda
=p



















And the only thing that caught my eye in the menu
Sure brings back the memory of the one brought back for
Hong Kong by my bro when he had his holidays there

Oh ya. So after finding our table and settling down
We went out to the reception around
To mingle with the crowd
Or kuay sio with other ppl
=(

There's a magician outside too!























Sure knows how to light up the place

























Anyways while he was swallowing the longish balloon
I asked Yasmin who was beside me
"What will happen if the balloon suddenly burst?"

Yasmin: "AIYO!!"
YJ: "Hahaha! Then all the intestines also come out!"
Both of us burst out laughing


Then I turned around and heard Joanna asking the same qns too
Wahahaha!

Other than the Pink Panther magician,
there's a professional photographer there too
So we decided to take some group photos together
with the studio background provided there nonetheless



















Provides immediate developing of the photos
Quality to be cautioned
=/
Meaning not so professional as the camera it seems

Anyways someone came out to ushered us in at around 730pm
And the dinner kick-off with a dance item by NPDS
Which is our Dance Sports club which features latin and samba dancing


















The junior formation team performed the Jive


















The senior formation team performed the samba

Anyways I think they are really damn good
Like seriously zai to the max!
And I reached a common consensus with Hian Chong
who was sitting beside me
The senior formation team girls had abs
Like OMG 6 pecs definition
While the girls in the junior team
Well, lets say me and them, we are quite close
Hahaha!

HELLO NOT CUIZ OK?!
=p

And the dinner started with the traditional cold-dish
Of course not forgetting the techno themed entrance
Adrian never fails to remind me of the good old days
when I was a waiter doing these kinds of banquet style dinner too
The laser light always serve as an indication to not tripping over yourself
=/


















When the dish was laid down on the table
Being dressed nicely, everyone was courteous and didnt go in for the kill
So the 1st statement that popped out of me and Adrian's mouth
while this time Yiqian had readied her chopsticks

"Eh. Gold medallist go first leh!!!"
LOL! High five there for my bro man!

Ok lah. Standard eating procedures
Nothing much to showcase
So here's some pictures taken during the D&D


















Adrian, Desmond & Li Jiong


















Steph, Me and Adrian


















And my favourite group pic
Our FYP group of Adrian, Yasmin & Me!


















Adrian still calls Yasmin "Ah Pui"
Just brings back the memories whereby we would still be
in school in the late evening discussing about the project and
then he will go "Eh Ah Pui, wanna go eat not?"
Oh ya, I'm included in the Ah Pui too
Hahaha!


















Adrian & Yasmin candid shot beside the swimming pool


















3A01 friends & classmates


















Me & Dr Vivien Lim


















Ah
The Golden & Silver Medallist photo
Next time when open the mee pok stall can hang there
Hahaha. Just kidding lah
Mee pok not my type
Tzi char better!
O.o

Anyways I think Steph look great that day!
=)























Me & Joanna

The funny joke of the day
(Plenty of jokes that day at our table since
we all know each other and our table is only our course ppl)

Joanna: "I become fatter already. Gain 6kg leh!"
*gestures a 6 number sign*
Steph: "Ya. I think you look fatter already"
Me / Adrian / Joanna: Stunned look
Joanna: "HUH! Really ar?"
Steph: "Ya serious. I think you look fatter now"
Me / Adrian / Joanna: Burst out laughing

All 3 of us heard Steph comment that Joanna looks fatter
But she actually meant better
OMG
Thought she so direct
But from Year 1 till now, didnt notice Joanna like got gain so much weight
She mentioned it all goes to the face
That's why Steph say Joanna's face looks rounder and better

Ya. Agree. I think Joanna looks good too!
=)























Me & Yasmin

She's very funny once again
Called her and she said she was still at Tiong Bahru
At 620pm
She says dont worry wouldnt be late
And really she didnt came late
Amazing!


















Me & Yiqian

She's the best from our table
During the lucky draw part
Will mention it later


















Me & Zuli

Told me that she was bonded to NUH already
Aiyo why never go for university 1st?
Quite weird when I discussed with Han Kee
(Han Kee was only 2 tables away from me )
But anyways congrats for doing well in her studies too

Luckily I remembered her name like 10 mins before I met her
I was like.....ermmmm......filtering possible names
But I thought cannot be what.....
All uniform groups ppl are very familiar with each other
So shameful on my part
Haiz
Somemore she's the loudest in the school
Followed closely by Li Yue, Ling Wei they all
*scratches head*


















Me & Pei Ling

The way we knew each other was like....9 years ago?
I think around Primary 6
Haha. Or Secondary 1
But quite a long time ago
And she's been calling me "神仙" ever since
And yup, the parting on the left thats why take
photo must stand on the left hand side
I got it now!
And she looked great tat day too
I always thought she looks good from XMS days already
=)

And after the ladies...


















Me and Han Kee

YES! Another golden graduate
Can add to the collection on the tzi char stall

Anyways if you realised
The previous 3 pictures are graduates from XMS
I got a senior who graduated from NUS already
Also from our alma mater XMS
She mentioned that all XMS ppl who went to poly
would smelly smelly (cao cao) at least get GPA 3 and above
How true

Judging from the turnout at the D&D
And Han Kee being the Golden Grad
And me having the Silver Medal
Hmm. Not bad lah we all
Do ourselves justice and we are proud of ourselves
=D


















Me & Adrian

This is my good friend Adrian
Special shoutout to him
(Ah ha! You tagged for the graduation post already I rmb!)

He lives at Sunrise Drive
And I cycle about 5km to his house regularly
I wait at the favourite 榕树下 for him to fetch me in his car
We do plenty of things to together
We are in the same FYP group
We got this weird bus 74 group =.=
We even went to India, Taiwan, and Australia together
Beat that!

And he's a big joker
Shares all the funny things around everytime
Throw in the sound effects for good measures too!
=p

Success story if you check out his background
He's a person that tells you that
PSLE and O'Levels score doesnt really matters
(Actually sadly O'Levels does)
But anyways I know we will still keep in contact
Cuz both of us share many similar traits and working methods
Phone calling is definitely one thing which both of us feel
that it triumphs over the lousy method of sending sms
=)



















Me & Li Jiong

I dont get the 131 and 145 bus thingy
But we didnt care in the end
Hahaha


















Me & Desmond

Desmond and Li Jiong are good friends
And 3 of us sometimes play bball together
And I think he's very good seriously
Talented and clever

Life's unfair?
Hahaha. Suck on it again


















Me & Hian Chong

He's a very funny character once you gets to know him well
Colourful comments
Sure doesnt look the face with his words
But he's a nice guy
Am I like the only A01 guy that knows him well or...?
Hahaha. But A03 ppl would know him well too
=)



















Me & Thomas

Knew him only till recently
But he's a quiet and courteous guy
Maybe would bump into him in the near future
Who knows?
=)























Me & Zhe Rui

Did I say he's like the longest surviving friend I have?
How many ppl have friends that you knew over a decade
and still keep in close contact till now?
Ok we all have
But I'm glad he's like one of those few friends that we can
still chit chat non-stop everytime we meet
Furthermore, he's most likely to be my bunkmate / roommate
in the near future in Army / University








































Lucky Number 8286
Haha. Our table number is 26
The Director of LSCT Mrs Tang sat on my chair before the dinner
And I stopped eating my lotus leave rice to await for the lucky draw
But everyone on my table was eating
Cuz I was hoping I would win something
And Adrian mentioned it would be unglam to have rice in your mouth
when taking the photograph with the VIPs
But he proceeded to eat and gave up then
Hahaha!

Sadly, the first round of lucky draw came and went
$20 bucks voucher
Yiqian, Desmon, Li Jiong all mentioned about giving to the others
So the 2nd round came and went too
$50 and $60 dollars voucher
Damn

Then after the beatbox, singing, video and performance
The last round of lucky draw came
Everyone finished the 杨枝甘露 and await Mr Chia to draw

4th prize's number was drawn and no 1 came out to get it
So everyone shouted for it to be void
Hahaha. At this point of time, Yiqian shouted $#!*&@^
Cuz the tables around us all had winners
But after she shouted out
The surrounding 5 tables all turned and looked at us
I was like OMG!!!
LOL!
Need to hold up the menu to cover our face
Hahahahaha!

But the emcee was damn interesting
I like the emcee a lot
Harry somemore
Ahahahaha!

He menioned...."8.....2.....8....."
So our table just immediately exploded in ecstasy already
Cuz our table all had 828(?) numbers
Wahahaha!
We waited so long for a lucky break la!
And once he mentioned "8286!"

HUAT AH!

IT'S ME LEH!!!!

OMG
Delirious already
Couldnt stop smiling once I go up the stage to collect the prize
Took a picture with the Principal too!
Came down and Pei Ling gave me a 加油 gesture
Hahaha. What else can I ask for?
Sweet right?
=DDD

I'm sorry to Hian Chong and Desmond who was holding
8287 and 8285 respectively
Who says our number below at the bowl wouldnt get picked?
And sorry to Adrian who never won a lucky draw before
Ahahaha. I'm smiling to myself as I typed down this part
LOL!
=p



































Catipal Land Voucher
Hahaha!
Was thinking about buying PS3
But then after consulting the higher-ups
Figured it was not worth it right now
Shall carry on playing their PS3 instead
LOL!

Time to get the Adizero?
=p

Wah lao. Don't know lah
Shall go window shopping 1st
Then do the smash-and-grab tactic
Get the correct kakis to buy the stuff
Woohoo~

And on a side note
For the performance part
We had this Winner and Champion section
Whereby throughout the night ppl from each side compete
Then see who win

But at that point of time
The NUMBER ONE #1 student from Ngee Ann, Nadia
Came out and introduced herself
The emcee asked which side she was from and she said Champion
And our table all said, even if she introduced herself as "Champion"
no one can say anything else
*Throw in the index finger as a icing on the cake*
We would all stand up and raise our hands and bow down to her lah!
LOL!
Aura-ristic leh!

Then's the other part on the 8 ladies doing catwalk
This is the part whereby I learnt the hottest girl in NP
came from....*drumrolls*.....

The Engineering Side!!!

Tada!
The Ohm's Law girl
When the emcee asked her what is Ohm's Law, she confidently
answered "V=IR" and gave a "YES!" gesture
Salute man! All the guys from the engine side stood up
Cheers to the girl man
Smart, confident and pretty at the same time

And of course, not forgetting the emcess's favourite 甜甜
OMG
A girl whose name is so sweet
Plus wearing a PINK cheongsam
Totally off the charts!!!
When asked to do the catwalk, she says "Chinese style!"
AH! The whole crowd explodes again!
Engine side!!!

And the last girl in black
Did the tiger roar
OMG!
That is too fierce already!
Pussycat dolls leh
Buay tahan!
Engine side again!!!

But we also got our LSCT girl Maxine
Joanna and Adrian banked on her to win
Yes I get the O sign now
Cuz she wore a bareback all the way to the hips
Damn daring
But she spoil the market like what the emcee says
Or raised the standard in a more polite term
If she came out last I would buy her to win too!

Luckily we got a guy called Ang Song Kiat(?) who
cheered us on to lead us in cheering for our contestants
Damn interesting fight lah!
We all raised our RED napkins and waved in the air
All like diehard soccer fans at the Old Trafford stadium
Shiok man the atmosphere!















































All in all
I think that it's a very fitting farewell to end off my poly days
Love it very much!
=)
