Good day blog,
Just a piece of good news; I HAVE GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITY! YAYYYY! *THROWS CONFETTI* *CLAPS* *DRINK UP*
My parents and sister were unable to attend the convocation, well, because my brother was enlisting into NS. That is okay, i am gonna count my blessings. I have people, my boyfriend, my best guy friend Yihao, and my JC clique as well as Joan who are able to come down and share this joyous occasion with me! Wheee, also, not forgetting, to the people who have strived so hard together with me, shoulders to shoulders, thank you all for graduating together with me. Love you guys so much. So thankful for the friendships i have forged in SBS after i dropped out of BMS. I was an outcast, and i was so afraid, because i haven't got anyone i could turn to for help with school work. I'm glad i mustered up courage to talk to the people on the same table as me during Behavioural class. Because of that, I managed to make friends with the people who form probably the best part of my University education. Thank you all.
During the convocation ceremony, when the valedictorian said " Please rise, turn around, and clap for your parents."
Honestly, i was kind of sad, because amongst all of the beaming faces of parents looking at their children, i didn't have anyone there except Keith. But I clapped as hard as i could, because without these parents, i would never have met the people i have met in Uni. So thank you, all my friends' parents, for your endless support and love which gave your children wings to be where they are today.
Not forgetting my own parents as well. You guys couldn't be there, but thank you for everything that you guys did to put me right when i was wrong, and to egg me on when i was making probably one of the most burdensome decision of me life.
Also, i thought i saw Grandpa and Grandma's faces amongst everyone else. I know you guys have seen me graduate even though you two aren't here anymore. I can cry over this a million times over the fact that you guys couldn't attend, but i hope you all are proud of me. I love you both, you two are the biggest motivators, the ones who bring so much joy to me and everyone else at home.
The house is really quiet without you guys now, every corner of the house, every inch of your bed, the sofa you guys often sat on.. the list goes on.
I'll be really brave and muster up all courage to embark on the next stage of my life.
I can do it.
Once again, con(grad)ulations to all who have graduated, the class of 2014!
HUAT AH!
