Mystery guest of the day!!
I went to wait for her at the apartment lobby... fearing that she won't know where the apartment is, I went out to the streets to wait for her.....
等一个很久未见的朋友，你可知道会是怎样的心情吗？
Suddenly she appears in front of me! and says....
You are still the same! You are still as short!! =_=
打从心底的开心，我还能见到她。我还以为，两年前这么一别，一定没得在相见了……

Attending this convocation, I am very glad I had a chance to, thanks to ET...
It brought back something that was deep in slumber within me..
Firstly, it was the architecture of this University at this particular location... reminds me of very medieval "Harry potter - Hogwarts"...
And the next, which struck a chord within me..
Never had I felt that the education I had (in sgp) was substantial. Yes, they gave me a degree (but of cos, 老娘paid for it). But education is never just a piece of paper. Its the knowledge your bring with you, the acute mind that was shaped, the EQ you learned, its a whole process of growing up, and maturing into an adult. As much as I want to 拍拍胸膛大声说，" 老娘是个 Engineer", 我无法理直气壮的这么做。Studying Engineering for 4 years in University, what I can remember after I graduated was not "kierchoff current law", nor "simi thermodynamic diagram", nor "otto cycle". I have always thought I am a half baked engineering student who half the time didn't know what was going on in class. However, with God's grace I managed to pass my subjects, almost all the time.

Sometimes I regret that in my whole wide life of 24.9 yrs on earth, I have never given my utmost best in the area of academia. Yes I will mug... but that is like 3 days before the papers and I will start reading my notes from chapter 1?

To prove that I can actually study. To prove that if I worked hard I could have gone to better schools..
也许，这是要弥补我从前遗失的至尊心， 与自卑感。为得让自己非常确定自己的能力，我必须在给自己一次机会， 在读多一次，这一次，放手一搏。
Nice Photos ! Great Entry...
