SIM-UOL Convocation 2009

Finally, the day has come for me to go on stage. :) Woke up feeling excited, was in a jubilant mood :), I was not even feeling hungry during the tea reception...hahas. I will never forget this day, many thanks to my colleagues for the gifts and encouraging words, it was a pleasant surprise ! A day filled with happiness and joy and not forgetting lots of photo-taking which I am still seeing stars till now due to the effects of the flash :p

The feeling this time is different when I graduated from Poly, this graduation ceremony marks the milestone of my education journey, it would be a start and not an end to education. I look forward in going up on stage again and receive another education qualification :)

From the bottom of my heart, my heartfelt thanks to my family, friends and colleagues.

Cheers !

Photos would be up on my facebook soon...sorry for the delay as there are too many photos to be uploaded :)

Prelude

Stay tune...

Pulau Ubin

Had a great hike at Ubin except for those pesky mosquitoes which kept following me and biting me..lolz. Really enjoyed the hike as it was my first time at Ubin. Ubin is laid back and everything is so basic and simple.Its a great place to escape the buzz of urban life.

After Ubin, went to T3 to have our lunch and than after to TCC to relax and chill before heading home.....

A great way to end the week with a visit to Ubin :)

Photos are on my facebook. Please do view them.

Have a great week ahead. Cheers !

Walk @ The Southern Ridges

Went to the Southern Ridges for a walk today. Met up and went with Thomas and CYB ( as usual he make Thomas and me wait for him, both of us finish walking Giant and G2000 and he was still on here yet...tsk tsk. Was suppose to set of at 9.30am but in the end we set off at 10.35am.

Enjoyed the walk very much today. We went to Mt Faber Park, Henderson Wave, Forest Walk, Hort Park and lastly Kent Ridge Park. Thou I was a bit gaga and keep complaining how come we need to climb uphill, but I still very much enjoyed the walk and don't mind doing it again.

After the walk, we headed to a Prata Cafe for some prata and drinks to recharge our energy.
Sorry ah Thomas and CYB that you had to bear with my jokes and laughter haha.:-D

Photos are uploaded on my facebook.

Here is one place which all of you would find it very familiar.

Cheers !
