Life has been busy but rewarding...
Going to different clients' places,
Constantly meeting new faces, new challanges,
Working with different seniors,
Learning, learning and still learning...

I still have several entries that have yet to be posted!
I will find the time to do so soon...

Convocation 2007 (24th July)

Took a half day leave from work on that day to attend my convocation.
It was absolutely nice to see all my friends again. Everyone of them.
Must really thanks josiah's mum for helping me with the convo robe.
Finally, i got the chance to wear the robe, to put on the cap and to officially declare that i've graduated with an honours degree!


Gwen who used to be my colleague in IRAS, and is still my colleague now in Deloitte.


Zhen jun, my dear friend since sec sch.


Bump into Guo Xiang, my jc classmate, in the audi. Really surprised to see him there.
Your turn will come pretty soon!


Shao wei, my 205 projectmate.

And now pictures of my tutorial mates since Year1........
They've really played a major part in my uni life, and i've learnt so much from them.

Alicia!



Amelia!



It was sooo difficult to have group photos on that day. Everyone was busy taking photos with everyone. The handphones were all ringing non-stop, and the most spoken phrase would probably be "where are you?". Lolx
We are missing Joseph in this group photo because he couldn't attend the convocation. His company has sent him to new york for training. Don't worry joe, you're definitely not forgotten!


SHIRAZ, my orientation group, the funkiest, the craziest and the best in my heart!

Left to right: Jieying, Betsy, me, Cheryl, Wanjun, Josiah (aka boss)



Left to right: Ziyang, Wenshun and David.
Ernest was at Germany then for his interviews. So he couldn't make it for the convo as well.


We are really close like family. haha..



We did what every graduates like to do. Yes, throwing caps =)

Graduation trip 2007

Part II (Kunming)
The flight from Bangkok to Kunming took around 4 hrs as the plane stopped over at Chiang Mai for awhile. Ernest told me that we were in Cambodia and naive me actually believed him. Lolx.
The weather at Kunming was absolutely perfect! Not too cold, not too hot.


Departure at the new thailand airport terminal.


Our gate was all the way towards the end of the walkway.



We had a very friendly driver who drove us from the airport to our accommodation - The Hump



The location of our accommodation is superb. It's exactly in the city centre and has the coolest roof garden, which overlook the town!



I felt really excited when I arrived at Kunming. Couldn't wait to explore the town because it just seems so busy and lively.



This is one of the two 1,100 year-old pagodas situated in southern part of downtown Kunming.


In the vicinity of the pagodas is an area known as Old Kunming. We got to see many ancient style buildings and scupltures.



Wenshun giving Ernest a kick and sinyee at the back enjoying the show.. Haha..



David and Wanjun day-dreaming away...



Jinma Biji Archway. This place is the symbol of Kunming.



The archway at night..



The guys were wonderful during the trip! Always looking at maps and travel guide to check out the nicest place to see, shop and eat. A BIG BIG BIG thank you to them for making the grid trip so awesome! =)



Yummy dumplings for dinner...



City of Kunming at night...



KTV at midnight. Only S$8 for 6 hrs! Unfortunately, we were too tired to sing for 6 hrs, only managed to sing for around 4hrs. I lost my voice that night. And it was only towards the end of the trip that i started to get back my voice.



I think it was around 4am when this picture was taken. We were on our way back to our accommodation and it was very cold! Saw a guy selling "yang2 rou4 chuan4" and we decided to buy some from him..



We had quite a good rest the previous night, and didn't wake up until 11am in the morning. Breakfast was on the guesthouse - bread, jam, pear and coffee/tea. We didn't bother to change up and went straight for the breakfast.



Our room. All of us in one room. During the trip, we spent on average around S$4 each for our accommodation per night. Cheap cheap cheap right!! And the rooms were all not too bad.



The guys slept downstairs and the ladies upstairs.



The bathroom has no rooftop!! Hence, no one can go upstairs when someone was bathing. Lolx



Green Lake (Cuihu) Park



Shopping near our accommodation.. A lot of cheap cheap stuff...



Good place to buy souveniers.


Lunch time! We went to eat the very very very famous "guo4 qiao2 mee2 xian4". A must try food in Kunming. You have to pour the ingredients into the bowl of soup yourself.
Super huge portion and super cheap, only 7 yuan = less than S$2!!






After lunch, we took bus 73 to Dianchi Lake. There weren't many seats on the bus and the journey took around 40mins.



There wasn't much to see at Dianchi, but it turned out to be very fun because we played and cracked jokes non-stop.



Ernest ar, you're too heavy for the swing, should come down and let wanjun play with it..




Hang on guys! David was trying his best to take out his camera as fast as possible..



See who can run the fastest. Ernest probably stand a better chance because he has longer face and can use it to his advantage to cross the finishing line first. Lolx



This is not easy! You have to be really good at balancing..



Back at Kunming city. We tried the hot dogs and it was super super hot!! I teared after eating it, and it further worsened my throat causing me to lost my voice completely. Wanjun got a red and swollen lips after eating because she asked the person to add extra chilly powder for her..



We took a night bus from Kunming to Lijiang. The journey took around 10hrs and the ride was truely an eye-opening for me! There were no seats and what replaced them were double-decked beds.
It was very cramp. You can't move yourself much on the bed and for tall people like David, I don't think there was much leg space for him.
And that's not all, you must also bear with the smelly feet and the cigarette smoke. I felt like my life was shortened by half after inhaling all those secondhand smoke.



There were small TVs on the bus for us to watch movies. The movies shown during the journey were very lame and they became the topic for our next day..
