Sis Graduation Commencement 2010



At  some point in our life, we usually find ourselves ending one chapter to embark on the next and for my sis, that faithful day marks the end of her university life.

Feelings on that day could be felt as being thoroughly mixed, with happiness (of finally graduating and retiring those thick reference books, lecture notes and putting an end to the haste and pace of trying to finish projects and assignments) and sadness (of the thought of bidding farewell to the vibrant, carefree and fun atmosphere of uni life and the opportunity of making genuine friends along the way) and the sorrows (of not being able to meet up with your uni friends as often as you liked anymore and missing the days of mugging together to just hanging around for something and nothing at all)

But alas as cliché as it sounds, nothing is forever and all good things must come to an end so let's take a look at the much-cherished beautiful moments of my sis' graduation (as captured by yours truly) before she embarks on her next journey to life!

Oh yeah, must add that I might probably be the best sister on earth! Was my sister's official photographer the entire day starting from 7am in the morning (free somemore!) running around with her to snap photos for her and her friends (even forgone making a second trip to the buffet reception!) Plus especially since I stood outside all the while, throughout the entire graduation ceremony, since there were only enough tickets for my parents (who were comfortably seated inside)!

Okay okay 'nuff said, photos!

 A pic of sis while waiting for dad's car to come!

 Not exactly one the most flattering photo of me and 
I know I look like Joker from Batman with my brightest red lipstick but I still love it! 

 My handsome daddykin! 

Hall packed with graduates!

Camwhored in the toilet since dad and mom have entered the hall
(especially since it's free seating)

Oops! Accidentally cut off the bouquet from the photo!

...Finally! Perfecto! 

Received a call from my boss of the day soon after and went out to meet her at Door 3 to help her snap photos with her friends! 

Eyes closed! Fail shot!

Sis with the sunflower I bought her!




Me and Sis! 

I accidentally took another; wasn't sure if the first one was captured!
Oh and Sis's friends say we look alike, do we? Really?

I like this photo cause I think my sis looks pretty in here!
Oops! I meant exceptionally pretty! 

 Posing with my card and flower!

Sis with Kaiwan (whom I known since our Kellockians' days)

With the funny guy! 


Graduates gathering to enter the hall!

Only one of the many many plasma screens outside the hall!

Found it weird that the MC/host was sitting amongst the graduates!
Reminded me of the book, "Where's Wally?"

 Kaiwan-jie jie!

...Being teased by her fellow graduates!

And the moment I have been standing outside for! Quickly grabbed my camera, focused and snapped! 

 Sis shaking hands with the dean of business school! 

Answering the dean's questions!

Posing for a photo!

Glancing over at her fellow grads!

After snapping the shot above, went to the cafe downstairs to finally have a seat after what seemed like eternity! 

Oh yeah and the sunflower was left in my care since flowers were not allowed into the hall! Probably afraid that you will start throwing at the dean (when he gives his boring speech?)

Ordered some flavored spritzer water at the cafe and attempted to take some artistic shots!





 Gross but I was bored okay?!




Sis rang to tell me that the ceremony has ended so I headed back inside!

Held the sunflower and snapped a shot! 

My dad looked thinner with this shirt and tie!

 Why so serious, daddy??

Sis with dad and mom! 
That probably was the proudest and happiest moment for my parents!

Me with sis! 







I must say that this guy has awesome balancing skills!

Sis with Janie

One of my best shots of my sis! 

Contrasted this image as it was simply too dark!

*Smacks head* Blur image! 
Aargh! I accidentally shook my hand while taking this photo! 



 Sis, Janie and Kaiwan!

Throwing their hats in the air!

 ...And it blocked my sister's face as it landed!

Preparing to try and throw again!

...Gave up and took actual photos instead!

I think I made my sis look like female Harry Potter;
especially with this  "flying" hat! 

Showing off her degree cert!

Some hat-throwing trend going on here!

Sis with Fabian

Credited myself for taking right under the NUS logo!


Lucky guy with two babes in tow! Lol!



 Check out the cute teddy bear graduate!



The four-leggy beauties!

Another teddy bear graduate spotted!


Sis's friend wasn't looking here so snapped another photo! 

Sis shut her eyes...again again!

Love this shot! I think it's very artsy! 

Family portrait <3
If it was the olden times, I think I look like my sister's personal maid with my hand gesture! 

 Daddy and Mommy!

 Me and Sis!







I think my sis really loves the graduation lion! Lol!



I love that girl's maxi dress!



Insisted that Sis take a photo with this backdrop! 











P.S. See you guys next post on some highlights of my sis's graduation dinner!
