Turned up for the ceremony in the end and got my bestest gal pal to accompany my ma. i owe her a BIG THANK YOU. It was reali reali nice of you to wake up so early, sit thru a borin ceremony and stay with my ma all morning.
The day started in the Nanyang Audi basement big toilet with lots of gers and some mums fussing over the mortarboard and gown. Lots of safety pins and granny hairpins were used to prevent wardrobe malfunction and falling headgear. Thankfully Dawn was all prepped and ready to help!
And so we all sat down in the audi and watched the profs strut onstage in even crazier outfits. Then the special prizes. Congrats to Andy who got the Gold medal Following that it was a bore. Name calling, handshake, multiply that by like 500 times. Eventually the last name was called and greeted with thunderous applause..last guy very poor thing hor.
Then all adjorn for lunch/pic taking with family n frenz
What followed in the afternoon was way more tiring than a normal work day though i think our artistic director is the most tired since he has to lug around his big cam, try to get everyone to stand properly like taking pri sku class pic, siam mortarboards during the board throwing pics and buy us drinks somemore. Many thanks to Siwei.
Hours under the hot sun wrapped like a dumpling in that crazy outfit did take its toll. My mei mei had commented the previous night when i tried on the outfit that i look like a dead bird. By the end of it, tink reali look n felt like one.
Thankfully, Ade and Andy arranged for a mini-bus. The air-con revived everybody and enabled us to cam-whore from Nanyang Heritage Centre to UOB Plaza to Esplanade and finally Fort Canning.
Hot, sweaty, unglam but unforgettable!
