graduation!

wow, graduation...!!! posting up the pics, i suddenly realised what a big day this was actually, hehe as i always do (kinda slow lah). can't help but reflect on the three years that went by! and i think they might have been the three most defining years of my life! not only did i have a fantastic education in all senses of the word, i also got to learn more about God and deepen my relationship with Him by experiencing His amazing love, faithfulness, grace, mercy, peace and power every time. each time there seemed to be no way, He was there to make a way... just like how He'd send different people to help, encourage and cheer me up. there were so many ups and downs, knocks and trials, satisfying times and not to mention hilariously memorable times... and who can forget the last semester which was the hardest we ever worked... all of which i'm glad for because they made my life so interesting and meaningful! praise God!

so graduation day today, as i've just realised haha, was the culmination of these three very, very special and memorable years. wow. =)

we happened to park at my school, so i thought we might as well take some pics!
side note: this is the first year NP grads wore gowns. but it was still a chore thinking of what to wear for me! haiyoh sarah! =P

i really cannot say thank you enough to my family for just being who they are. MY FAMILY! a family who loves God together... laughs A LOT together... and helps one another. i guess they had no choice but to allow themselves to be roped in on many of my projects so i really must say thanks guys!!!

entering the convention centre.
the buffet spread after the ceremony was really quite a SPREAD!

haha i watched so many graduates do it before me but when my turn came i went into blur mode. i know i said "thank you" really softly and then i knew i had to turn around but when i finally located the photographer's face, i went "oh!" as in "oh there you are!" so it wasn't a smile but an "oh!" face.

really good friends - jenny and lirong
special note: hey lirong (my 相依为命 partner), thank you so much for these three years! =) and jenny, it was really great being classmates and project mates with you during our last semester! =)

with the rest of the gang and one funny lecturer whose emails i'll always keep.
sam, fel, lydia, terence, wanjun, etc... really wished you guys were there too!

all the wonderful, wonderful lecturers who taught so well.
to borrow a line from someone... they did not fish for us, but taught us how to fish!

and this is what we are now, haha.
