Blogging in office seems so happy~~ because the uploading is very fast and efficient but my eyes is constantly scanning around now. -_- (not very relaxing...)
Anyway..............
Alright, back to some more "formal" stuffs I should say.
27th August 2009 marks a major milestone in my life. Why it is so important and significant to me is not just simply because it's my convocation and degree conferment day. It is special because it is the start of the next stage of my life- that is, I need to keep my goals and actions on par of one another. I am not only responsible for myself but also my family and my loved ones. Certain things need to be done well not only for myself, but also for the people concerned. Alot of factors involved. Just one mistake can leads to many more. Just like telling a lie can leads to many lies. You need to lie again to cover up your previous lie. You need to have good memory to be a liar. Haha.
Entering into the next stage of my life after this also means that I need to be more mature in handling certain issues, be it for work or personal. I need to be focus on what's more important for me in life. I need to take control of my emotions instead of letting my emotions take control over me.
Afterall, it is merely a paper certificate, it doesn't mean anything. It's during the course of the study that intellectual thinking is involved, for instance, having to think out of the box for challenging problems which requires more thinking, thoughts and creative solutions.
Of course, I can choose to take a slower pace in life, stay in my current job which I can knock off on the dot, slack, suft net, msn chat etc but this will not allow me to go far in life. Yes, simple is happiness, BUT to a certain extent. In Singapore, can we just live life this way and just do what we want? We can't. It's not because we like to compare and compete. There's simple too many competition out there. We need to be constantly upgraded in order to be kept well in this society. This is the reason why I am giving up my current job for a more challenging and a much more demanding one... which also means longer hours of work and more sacrifices need to be make.
Training is provided which I hope it will benefit me not only in terms of work but also for my personal growth. I need to give myself a chance, to try doing different things so that I know where my strength lies and work towards and improve it.
Some of us may not know what is our interest, even up to a certain age. I just realized something (hopefully it's still not too late). That is, we never try, we'll never know. Always take initiative and try new things. Who knows there are more opportunities out there. Opportunity only knocks once and they won't come and look for us. Same goes to happiness, we need to take the first step forward to search for our own happiness.
Always find a job where your passion lies, what we are interested in doing and not just because it pays us well. Always do things which make us happy. Always be humble and learn from others.
Below are some memorable pictures (formal and informal) of me and my friends taken on our convocation day: A shoot taken before going out...
Ta-dah~ I'm back to school! The finger above is my mum's -_-
She's still not very familiar with my camera.
That's me and my loving and supportive parents!
Her finger again... haha.. me looking so happy on my special day~
"Special day"--> machiam wedding like that.. lol
On the left is my good friend, Wilson. Thanks to him for being so helpful most of the time, took the initative to help us zap notes, solutions etc and on my right is Jiaming, a very nice guy too. I will definitely miss studying with all of U!
This is the most precious picture. Taken by mum while I was up there.
It's blur because this was taken from the screen as the stage was too far from where the guests were seated.
Yipee! After the formal ceremony, we were brought to the tea reception to gather with our family and friends. Saw alot of familiar faces and I realized that a number of celebrities are from SIM. Saw the child actor, Joshua from "I Not Stupid". He was there with his girlfriend who is also a graduand. He looks shuai!
This is me, Yusna, who is my classmate, Alan's gf. She is also a former student of Economics and Finance. TOP distinction student somemore! On the right is Lijun, my only closer female classmate (haha...). So happens that she's also my secondary schoolmate as well~~~
This is a formal shot taken by our classmate, Rezwan. I am really touched as he came all the way after work to celebrate this memorable day with us. He is one batch later than us and hence, he's in his final semester of study (Jiayou!!!). He is really a very helpful and sincere friend. I think his photography skills is quite pro too. =) Thanks Rez, will definitely miss LAST-MIN (hahaahhaha) studying and burning midnight oil together with you and the rest at King Albert Park MAC. =)))
And lastly, this! I love all of you all to bits! Congraulations to all my dearest friends!
We finally did it, TOGETHER!
All the best in our future endeavours!
