Spread your wings and Fly! @ 9:45 AM

A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success.

One and a half year is most certainly considered short compared to primary or secondary school life of 5 to 6 years. Nevertheless, time wouldn't be able to erase the precious memories we share all the days we spent together.

One good thing about studying A-levels right here in Miri is most of us A-levelians can make it to the graduation ceremony(or we can meet up often in these 3 months haha). Our graduation was naturally held at the Grand Ballroom, Eastwood Valley in the afternoon.

White was the trend for the day. Connie was an exception. ^^

Making use of the spare time before ceremony starts.

The event began with the group photo taking session. First row were us A-Levelians, 2nd - VIPs, 3rd & 4th - Accounting(blue hood) + Mechanical Eng.(golden hood).

After 5 speeches from part of the VIPs, they started to present us our certificates, or rather, an empty cylinder with a little note inside that instructed us to collect our certs outside after the ceremony.

I was the first of the 296 graduates to receive my 'cert', managing a very stiff smile while the photographers clicked away (=

I wonder what Dr. George Chan would do with the two toolboxes.

Our maths teacher, Ms.Winnie with her peace sign. XD

The entire ceremony finally ended after almost 3 hours or so. Our class people were swift enough to jump on the stage and dominate it so that we can camwhore up there.

Formal.

*transform into Dementors*

Our Head of A-level/Chem lecturer, Dr Lee.

Being random.

Sis and I. Tell your mum she did quite a nice job taking our pic =D

Connie and I during the long wait. The annoying hood kept falling at the sides.

With Sarikei boy Dian Ying.

Monkey and I. With Pollux appearing out of nowhere.

Sis, winy and I. No hands, one hand, two hands.

Don't mess with them.lol.

The big gang.

Buffet style dinner was provided at the Musical Corridor, which was unbearably torrid. I regret not eating more though, thinking of how much I paid x.x At least the mutton was quite nice, if not for some tough, unchewable pieces of them.

Ms Winnie and Ms May(Bio lecturer) with us. Most people had already left by then. Yeah, we're slow-pokes - slow at taking pics, slow at eating.

The photo marathon was yet to end after filling our tummies.

''Oh my gosh oh my gosh!!''

Bubi the fish-killer in dark blue shirt and Richard the comp.lab guy in blue shirt.

Promoting the cakes...50% off after 7p.m.!

Did we stayed for that long? Yes actually but we didn't go for the cakes. They don't allure me that much anyway...*hint of sour grapes* Back to topic, Mr. Anson came up with a chalet room key, saying it's vacant. You can guess what comes next.

Sitting comfortably in the cool chalet.

Some way to celebrate our graduation - watching Titanic.

We headed over to Desserts for desserts after Titanic. Such a nice shot of the chocolate drink ehh? Obviously not by me and my phone camera. Was David's piece of work.

We look like a bunch of office workers who just finished our jobs for the day.

To all my A-level friends and peers, may your dreams take you to the highest of your hopes and to the window of oppurtunities your future holds for you. All the best!

KL trip - Part 4 @ 9:48 AM

6th July

Before I forget, credits are given to Jin's camera for most of the photos found in my KL posts.

Our breakfast place at Pavillion. We were the 1st customers!

Olympics logo? Wonder why the ice lemon tea have so much bubbles.

Spaghetti bolognaise with sandwiches.

It's beef right, LL?? So long ago that I can't remember. But I know the meat was very tender.

My banana pancake with honey and butter, not ice-cream.

nnf enjoying their food.

We made use of monorail, Putra Line and taxis to reach 1Utama and spent half of the day at the old wing itself. I was feeling utterly tired and sleepy in the first few hours, just sitting and letting my mind go blank.

We dined in at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng introduced by Winy for lunch. The restaurant has a nice ambience overall and the food is great.

Winy's dish - egg with something. yummy yummy.

Jin's pork chop. Everything was just finger-licking good.

The sign says ''World's Best Egg Tart''. But I would prefer the egg tarts we got from the old coffee shop where we had our first breakfast.

This happens whenever there's a big mirror around.

I started on my own once more. This classy modern furniture shop caught my attention so I walked in for a look. As much as how beautiful the furniture are, they are extremely costly. I then wandered into a Christian shop named ''Glad Sounds'' where I bought a lovely keychain with the word 'pray' and an instrumental disc(RM23 only!!).

Another thing worth mentioning, Transformers must like me a lot - after the numerous recommendations and suggestions of it by people around me, which I have all turned down 'cause I'm not into it, the final bait I received came at the christian shop. A guy came up to offer a free ticket for Transformers at the 1U GSC that night, saying that a friend can't make it and ticket shall go to waste. The nnf bombed me later at midnight for rejecting it.
T.T

We stopped by at Starhill on our way back for a peek at the awesome architectural design in it. Gracious grand piano waiting quietly on the stage for someone to play it.

No time for me to do some explorations, sniff.

The little pegs I bought for the nnf, one for each. Obviously the monkey peg is for mau XD We had cup noodles for dinner that night in our condo. Suyi, jin, winy and I purposedly went down to the convenience store to buy them. Someone turned into a scaredy cat when I started blabbing about ghost stories in the lift, for our lift opened at the empty ground floor instead of where we wanted to stop. We waited for quite some time there didn't we?

Uno cards and winy together was nightmare for suyi, jin and I that night. The game never seemed to end but winy insisted that we finish it. That took forever and I was grumbling nonstop. When we were done, winy called for a 2nd round. We dashed back into our bedrooms before she had a chance to complete her sentence.

7th July

The last day!! Blogging is no easy work..

NNF family portrait. In the presence of guilinggao and MAS orange juice.

Suyi accompanied me to Lot 10 to buy a winter cloak. It must be the fastest purchase I made for we were running out of time. Then we half ran to The Loaf at Pavillion where I bought some bread and buns.

In the meantime, mau and jin rushed to Low Yat to get mau's Omnia. LL and winy walked to The Loaf and came back to get our luggage downstairs into the van. Must have been hard work, my heartfelt thanks to you two!! ^^

On the way to KLIA.

Perfect citizens who listen to the Ministry of Health and put on masks.

Grabbing lunch at Burger King. I look kinda funny there.

Burger King rocks!! Our double mushroom something burger.

The art of eating with mask on.

Heading to the Departure Hall.

And yay, we are back! BACK!!!
