My (Our??) future?

Having been working for the last month and a half, it's only natural for me to think about this very important question -- "where next".

Let me take stock of my own life. I've got a family consisting of my mum, dad, sis, bro, grandparents and aunt. I've also got a boyfriend of 4 years (which isn't very long, though many would beg to differ). I've got a relatively good career (though i still keep messing up in my job regardless of how hard i try). So what now?

It looks as if I've got everything that many would like to have. It doesn't mean that I'm satisfied.. Much.. There's still something missing.

Round Gary came yesterday. We planned to have a day to ourselves only (which is getting rarer as the months pass). We're played Halli Galli (which I lost EVERY SINGLE ROUND) and Game of Life (I lost one -- by about $300k, and won one -- by about $600k). and we talked about a whole lot of things and us.

Well, about the us part. It was pretty hilarious. I told him a story about a Korean show I watched some time ago. And we had a laugh about it. Then I told him that if we were to be living together, then he had to "obey" certain "prohibitions". He asked what they were. And they were:
  • cannot go overseas without me (unless it's for business) -- he said "ok"
  • must let me know who he's meeting (especially if it's the opposite sex) -- he said "ok" too

cannot think of anything else, I started putting in conditions for staying together.

  • Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, it's his duty to wash the plates -- he said "he's having 2nd thoughts"

Funny right? I can restrict his personal life but cannot get him to participate in household chores. Haha. Well it's all a joke still.

Think about it, we're still young, and we still value our freedom (more me than him I guess). But as a female, I guess I still have dreams of how the proposal and the wedding could be conducted.

Haha. I still want my proposal to be a romantic one (though it's not going to be possible with our dear Gary being so un-romantic.. I can always hope that he'll change because of that special day right??). I also want my wedding to be superb-ly classy and nice. But of course, it's still early days. And I still won't give him any answer if he asks now. HAHAHA... because of financial and logistical issues (go figure that out yourselves)

Heeheehee.. So HINT TO GARY: just spoil me just this once k????

my graduation pictures..




here are my pictures taken on my convocation (actually it's commencement) day and the day my friends and I went back to school to take. not really cam whoring la.. only took about a few pics (mine's around 60 or so la...).. hee.... enjoy bah.. unfortunately i dun have much choices in the song choice...i chose the one the i like best (of the whole lot la)....

commencement aint very much fun to be honest.... know why.. cos i fell asleep... can't believed the number of times i yawned throughout the 5 hours ceremony!! YES!!!!!!!! OMG!!! 5 hours!!!! lemme run you through the commencement ceremony.

first, we reported at 12.15pm in Suntec City; 1pm we entered into Hall 601 for the university wide ceremony. University wide ceremony took about 2hours with (lemme count) 4-5 speeches by guests and another 2 speeches by the Valedictorian (vaguely knew who she was) and then the Salutatorian (dunno who he is). The speeches are followed by the conferral of degrees by the deans.. my dean gave a very "WOW" speech.. well everyone went "wow" when she said it.. because she said she expecte to see us being future --> Senior Partners, CFOs, FCs, and whatever positions that garner the highest power in the finance world.. so people.. watch out for the SoA graduates.. we're graduating with LOADS of ambition.

At 3pm, we left Hall 601 to go to our respective room for our respective School's degree award ceremony. I fell asleep there too (after I took my degree scroll). hee.. but i had to sleep discreetly cos me in front row (my name starts with C you know.. so me in front).. hee. the whole thing ended at 5pm.. after that.. the photo taking sessions started. haha.

Then the week after we went back to school for photo taking sessions. and here are the results.. hee... I'VE GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!
