Graduation @ 8:54 AM

I’ve left this blog un-updated for too long, so while I am in the *mood* (plus too much time to slack at work, with my supervisor n colleagues busy with some modeling stuff which is too cheem for me to be involved in, and have no time to give me new tasks to do).

I’m really glad that I chose to attend convocation in the end, it’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. To be honest, when I packed my stuffs and left in a hurry right after exams, I harbored the thoughts of leaving London for good. Even when I told others that I would most probably be coming back, I know that there is also a high chance of not fulfilling that promise. Afterall coming back meant that I had to forgo my income for almost 2 weeks (opps the very practical me), plus I had to settle for expensive yet in-direct flight, and the thought of having to entertain my parents while I’m there to upkeep the *perfect daughter* image. Furthermore, my dad was tied down with work, he had to postpone certain important meetings just to make time for my convo, which at that time I think it was not necessary at all.

BUT, I’m really glad I finally made the right decision to return to London once more. To me, it’s not so much of attending the ceremony and being called onstage ( which my dad insist that no amount of money could buy that moment) or taking pictures with my gown ( could be easily done in studios, but minus all the friends la), it’s about spending the last few days with friends that I won’t be meeting again in the near future. I didn’t realize that was what I would be missing when I was still pondering on whether to come back or not. Then and there, it suddenly hit me that I was so close to not being there at all, enjoying the company of my friends ( whom I’ve grown to be closer to especially in my last year). I may appear non-chalant and cold at times, and am not too good with words. Certain jokeful or suaning words are used to cover up what I really feel. I’m not used to feeling emotional, I like to keep everything light-hearted. So, don’t get too offended hor! I tried to escape from my parents at every single opportunity to spend more time with my friends
1) drinking (had to come up with gazillion reasons incl *even Watson n jiawei are going*) and had to wake up damn early just to show that I was not intoxicated. Ha I was really tempted to actually go for one more shot just to keep me happy for longer period oppps.
2) decided to just go along with *big ben photo taking session* upon knowing that I can return to school later that day to visit those graduating the next day.
3) told my parents that I would be helping zy move even though my flight is the next day just so that I can chill out somemore.
4) Finally had to drag myself out of bed and pretend to be fully rested even though I’ve only managed to cover 3 hours of sleep.!

Etc etc

Few months ago, when people ask me whether I will miss London, I will just say “No”. Then, I just wanted to finish my studies and embark on a new journey in US. Now, when someone ask me the same question, I will say, “ I won’t miss the place itself, but I will miss everyone there!” I’ve made really really good friends in London (and I hope according to Mr Oei’s horizontal vertical theory, they are my vertical friends! Haha) The only regret was I didn’t make an effort to get to know everyone better, especially in the first 2 years, when I’m still more passive. Ok lar, I’m still passive now, but much better right?

But you know what, I’ve been thinking about this ever since I reached heathrow airport last Sunday when I kept on sms-ing my friends ( to which some didn’t reply hmph!!) With every incoming sms, I’m actually one step further away from the sender. It’s just not the same as when I left SG three years ago to further my studies, because I know no matter where I go, I will ultimately return to SG to work and live and that I will come back every vacation. But for those working in London, unless I choose to work in London after I graduate ( which is highly unlikely at this moment since my dad greatly oppose to it) , it might be sometime before we get to meet again.

I shall stop now since I’m getting incoherent (as always) and I shan’t openly slack too much in the office. So bye for now!
For those still in London, pray hard that the immigration is nice to poor Cynthia, so that she can successfully get a visa from US and pop by for a quick visit!

Pictures will come later, in FB since I am too lazy to upload individual Heh!
