LYJ21: Ngee Ann Polytechnic Graduation 2009 @ Convention Centre

1st thing first

GRADUATE LIAO LO!!!
*launch fireworks*

Singaporeans favourite

Anyways graduation day started off with this horrible rain

Rained all the giant animals like hippo and elephants down to earth

You can imagine how heavy the rain was...

But to tell you the truth

Graduation came and went in a blink of an eye

And it barely sunk in and now I'm already sitting in front

of my desk and blogging the entire event down 1 day later

Hitched a ride from Adrian at our favourite place along YCK road

Pity it was raining and we didnt meet at our 榕树下

Hahahaha!

Faith came along with us too!

So we reported to LT68E at 12 like tat
Read some instructions
Tie our tie and don the graduation robe
Got our pre-coded scan cards and went upstairs

Award winners awaiting at the basement of the convention centre

The 3 Gold Medallist from BLT, CBE, and HLM respectively

After a short opening speech by the Director
And a video done by students from the 3 courses
It was time for the graduates to move off to go collect our diploma!

Graduates of CBE queueing up

And they proceeded 1 by 1 to shake hands with the Director before collecting the diploma holder

So after which
The prize winners came forth to receive the prizes
And here's welcoming the #1 top student from CBE
The cream of the crop
Shell Gold Medallist
Ms Stephanie Surya

This is shot on the huge projector screen overhead btw

And this is her personally

All the Gold Medallist stood there
While the announcer read out all their wonderful achievements
& all the contributions to the school and their score etc etc
And I think Steph got around 39++ As and distinctions
Totally slaughter the rest of us
And I remember the HLM top grad got 51 As and distinctions
Thats like.....OMG can?
Too much modules to study in the first place
=.=

And yes this is me of course!!! Woohoo~

Yes I'm the senofi-aventis Silver Medallist for CBE
Ok I'm proud of myself on this day
Can I be proud of myself????
Hahaha!

And that is the SPT Manager(?) from EMAPPL
And what does tat mean?
Ah. He's from the other branch of my attachment company!
Big big big big big shot!

He handed over the diploma, certs, and the silver medal and
it nearly slipped out of my hand
Kinda clusmy to hold the way they placed it
Too much things to hold and still look at the professional cam and take picture
But hope the $20 bucks for the photo will look great!

And the girl in ponytail....
Her skirt was....off the charts????
Hahaha new phrase I learnt recently
There was a cut at the direct thigh portion please?
Chinese have a saying “迎狼入室”
It translates to "welcoming the wolf into the sheep's pen"
OMG I think you know what I mean
=p

Okokok. Focus
Focus

Steph proceeding to give a speech

I read the speech beforehand and it was kinda different from
what she was saying...
Erm....but yea...the speech was kinda impacting
I like the Director's one more
But Steph delivered the speech with poise, confidence,
Suave and yet just...captivating at that point in time
If you are listening in any case at all

Ok everyone remembers the part on the doors
I was like imagining the doors and the hallway while she was saying it
And yes the front part about thanking our class 3A01...
Yes we gone through 3 years together and made it

And guess what?
Melissa gave the "YEAAAAAA" in a way like....
Ermm....
Paris Hilton and her gang of friends in their high school graduation?
(Did she graduate???)
But it was like...ermmm...
Thinking back you would just laugh about it lah!
So totally Melissa written all over it

Here's my proud parents
=)

I realised this was taken beside the Golden Grad for 2009 signboard
Eh. So totally wrong can?

My dad

And my mom who doesnt seem co-operative with the camera =/

And this is my good friend of 8 years
Mr Jonathan Pang Mun Kiong(?)
Or 2nd Liet Pang

Mun Kiong right?
Hahaha! He sat beside me in Sec 1 and he had gray hair already
No kidding!

And he survived Sunday duty at camp
So yea, very grateful to him
=D

And this is Ms Bernice Ng Gek Lee

Confirm is Gek Lee
LOL!
Yea I know she doesnt like it!
Haha!

Anyways thanks for being a good friend for 7 years
Not counting Sec 1 of course
My NPCC squadmate, my pen-pal, and the garang girl
who always hang out with the wrong company of guys like us
who always (of course) hang out at the basketball court
And my apologies to your Titantic at this point in time
Hope everything turns out well lah
Don't be like the actual Titantic later need to jump ship ok?
=p

It means a lot for my friends to be there
So once again, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the
both of them for taking time out, dress up nicely, and came down
to the Western part of Singapore to support me physically and morally
And thanks to those who I have asked but you never got the chance
to come down and support me as well
Hey the fact I asked you means you stand high in priority in my heart ok?
=D

CBE Gold & Silver Medallist

Steph would be going NUS
Which means....I should be going NTU ba!
Haha. The VP of Ngee Ann told me NTU is good for us
Especially students from polytechnics
Ah ha! Yes I recognised the VP now!
=p

Anyways all the best to Steph
I know she would do well definitely
Next time maybe need her help in the industry already
=)

So now for the mad rush of photos of friends!

This is Joshua Liew!
He is my Magnum Force friend
And he would rather take a zi-lian photo of us than ask ppl
to use his camera to take for us!
Ah!

Anyways Josh initially had a hard time in CBE
But everything turned out well in the end
And all the best to you for your future endeavours in SOT

Will not forget the times of mad laughter you often bring to us
And of course how impossible to wake you up during lecture
And when you wake up I fell to sleep
And you would stay awake while I got caught by the doze bug
How it is a miracle that I think 80% of my 3rd year was spent
sitting next to you during lecture
And we can talk cock about anything

Yea! You the man!
Give me a Magnum Smile!!!!!
*clap both hands together and nods head*

This is Jonathan from HLM

Knew him since Year 1 from S&W
Been a good friend who was frequently seen at the plant area
Always asked him how the plants were growing though
Hahaha!

Kes & Me

Got to know Kes through Wei Ren in the India trip
And glad he brought me along to play bball with the other sem guys
Knew the other sem guys and we still play bball now
Ah. Power of bball
And his job currently is excellent
Combine what we have learnt through these years
And he says PED can be done in 5 days after what he is doing now
Cool!!!!

Me & Jia Jun

He made the intro video at the start of the graduation ceremony
And I know him for like....13 or 14 years already?
Hahaha. So long that we passed our decade of friendship already
So anything you still need to know about him?
=)

Me & Joanna

Fellow COM award winner too
Heard plenty of interesting stories about her
Yes becuz of our MK
=)

Adrian, Jon & Tim

Well, I think everyone would rmb Tim as the guy with the BMW
And the Series 7 and the Honda Civic as well
He drinks Jim Bean with coke in the morning while we were in Taiwan
=/

But he is a guy that I think, when under dire circumstances
Works very very hard to get the job done
So yea man, good job there

This is 阿宅
Ok no. This is Jie Ying
But her hair was like 阿宅 aka Rainie Yang's hairdo

And these are the 3 lovely ladies in my class
Shang Geok, Jie Ying & Melissa

Life would definitely be much boring without their presence

For Shang Geok
Can still rmb when me, you and Adrian took the train back
After CPTC from Jurong East back to Ang Mo Kio
And you would show us the special trick of yours
And seriously, I'm so-so-so-so-so impressed!!!
Plus Adrian took down the timing of your special trick
And I cant help but laugh everytime I think about that incident
Not forgetting the ultimate handshake to the freshie from Year 1
after he had entered the wrong LT nonchalantly and still sat down
That is the most OWNING memory for the freshie I believe
He would be forever scarred emotionally
LOL!
Yea. You have been a great friend who I can talk to everytime we
bump into each other when taking 74 bus to/fro school
Thanks for being such a bubbly personality in class!

For Jie Ying
My 大姐
Attended my 1st 21st bday celebration at your party at Swissotel
Cool to the max
Even the Government put out fireworks especially for you
Shiok!
Sorry I lack the caliber to join your acting team
Hahaha. But I can be the feisty loanshark if you ever need me
I think you influenced everyone to do the "errr...errr...errr" effect
Kinda stuck onto us from then till now and forever

For Melissa
美女!
Hahaha. Attended NDP and the 1st ever F1 in Spore together with her
We are part of Singapore's history yeah!
She's like the resident crazy girl
Very loud and hyper personality which brighten everyone up
Never fails to let ppl know of her feelings by shooting a few #@!$%^
Straightforward
Still seems very complicated to me from Year 1 till now
Hahaha! But all the best in everything for the future
From your Yan Dao wor
=p

This is Sam and my FYP groupmates Yasmin & Adrian

Did I say my FYP group produce the top student for that module?
Yes Yasmin is the top grad for the FYP
And which means its from my group!
Ahahahaha!
Her Chinese improved after 6 months
OMG best!
And she told us in Chinese the flowers not given to her by bf
Hahaha! Damn funny

But she is one kind soul, is very witty and humorous
From my point of view, I will sum it up in one sentence
She is one great girl!
Glad I knew her
=)

These are my classmates from 3A01

Some of them couldnt be found
Some went home
Some...eh...I don't know where were they
And of course some didnt came for the graduation ceremony lah

But but but...
Check out the picture
Everyone was smiling so happily at the camera
Shall develop this photo and frame it up!
=D

And my dear friends in class

We were the remaining survivors who went out after graduation
And Jie Ying as well
Plus Soon Teck who joined us after that
Kinda sad with so little ppl
But oh well, others had programs on

Last photo of the day - The Brotherhood

So now to thank my lecturers....

This is Dr Tan Hong Kiat

He told us to add him on MSN to ask him any qns
Then after that sem, said everyone bombed him during
the critical exams period about EVERYTHING on the module
He is a very friendly guy
Looks sleepy when giving lectures
HAHA!
Kept telling us that ppl ask him to open his eyes when taking pics
LOL!
Had a good chat with him at the VIP lounge
And thanks for everything
=)

This is Mr Mirko Stoll

I think he's my favourite lecturer in CBE
It's just the way he carries out his lessons
Not actually just book stuff but also on worldwide issues
And the local issues as well
What's more critical than the books and academic stuff
And the Youtube videos as well!

I like his comments on any issues at all
Witty, interesting and sets your mind in motion
Very very good!
*thumbs up*
And heard he stalks students' blog!!!
Hahahaha!
OMG!
But I know where he stays! Close to my house
So I can stalk him also
LOL!

This is Ms Min Swe Swe

She teaches Thermodynamics in Year 1
Sadly, its like one module which I rmb I got an AD
Like 3 years I only rmb getting AD for Thermodynamics
But its also Thermodynamics which had the presentation thingy right?
The forever famous phrase with the 3D diagram

"Your safety...is our VERY FIRST priority!"

LOL! Come on let's apply to be Safety Officers in the industry now
After the presentation confirm got recruited in one loh!
Muahahaha!
But lets not mention about the ugly side of that issue now
Oops

This is Dr Geng Anli

She won the Best Teaching Award in 2007 if I rmb correctly
Her module Reaction Engineering was one of the toughest
I will always rmb going to the lecture
Then coming out of the LT and feeling like after eating a buffet
Too filled and unable to go on anymore
But I always understand the content through her tutorial
Which shows that the tutorial is very very effective!
And she is very good to us as well
Always giving us a smile and spending time to teach us well
=)

This is Mr Charles Ong
Or soon-to-be Dr Ong

He is my IAP Liaison Officer and taught us TPHM
Manchester United fan
So we connect well!
Hahahaha! Plus point for watching soccer ya?
Anyways I like his tutorial more than his lectures
Same style as Mr Stoll
No wonder they always have coffee together in the morning at SIM
Good friends teach the same way
Students benefit plentiful

And this is Dr Vivien Lim

Always seems to be in a rush
But she has a lot of stuff to do if I'm not wrong
But she's like a very cute young girl lah
Ask every single one of us to participate in her tutorial for marks
Then still using transparency
And telling us she still can fit into her JC uniform
I think I would tear my secondary school uniform out if I wear it
LOL!

And her Anchem...
Anyone told you it was the TOUGHEST module for CBE?
I was like flunk or barely passed all her common test
And not that I never study
But its just the module lah

And she accompanied us EVERY SINGLE DAY to CPTC
Roll out the red carpet please
That's dedication at the highest level
(Anyone seen Mr Wong????)
Will be meeting her this Friday again at SAFRA
=)

So after graduation we went to return the robe
And went to Makan place to eat
OMG we went to eat?!
Hahaha. Yea we didnt eat much at the reception ok?
After that we proceed to town

Hello, this is GST

Adrian: "Gor gor, gor gor, where's the toilet?"
YJ: "Freshie OI!"
*points to the nearest toilet beside the vending machine at LT 78*

Hahahahaha! Sorry F-R-E-S-H-I-E!
Any "fresher" you have to squeeze it yourself!
Muahahaha!
Sorry we are bad seniors who clapped at freshie
They entered the wrong LT and they would receive a rousing welcome
Dr Tan got prompt us before ok???!
LOL!
I'm sorry if any students were scarred emotionally during their course of
study in Ngee Ann at LSCT
I believe Shang Geok's handshake "friend" is the worst
=DDD

And we rewarded ourselves with a feast at Manhattan
Eat till we were nearly late for Star Trek
Cuz we couldn't manage to squeeze ourselves out of the seats
And drag our bums to THE CATHAY
And who's saying about training for Army?
Getting ready in the form of eating???
=p

The latest chick magnet
Nissan 370Z
Nicknamed: "The Fair Lady"

Just check out her ass and you would know why
Nice lady with nice butt
Great nick for the car itself
And the 370Z has converted the rear lights to lightning-shaped
Apparently explained as matching the Nissan racing logo
GTR anyone?

Went to Princep Street for a drink after the awesome Star Trek
Alps Cafe was the place we go to
Was quite cuiz compared to the last time I saw it online
Nothing like what the online had described it to be
I dont really like the theme
Cuz it didnt really reflect it out in the atmosphere itself inside

Whose mouth does that belong to?

Mr Sexyback Justin Timberlake

Light beer and Green Monster of mine

The Green Monster drink I had tasted very...alcoholic
Has the aftertaste of alcohol lingering in your mouth
Reminds me of the time in Australia whereby I down
6 glasses of liqueur in 1 go at the honey farm
Feels damn hot at the chest
Like the Superman sign gonna be carved out
H-A-H-A!
Ok it was quite hot seriously!

Anyways we sang KTV and watched MTV
Talked abit and went home soon
Didnt want to stay back late as we all got programs the next day
Went home and finally take a look at my diploma!
