Transitioning to Days with No Agenda

Hello

Finally, a moment in a quiet place (the library) where I can sit down and use the internet in peace. The only reason I haven't been able to do this is because the internet at home is history and there's been just way too many things happening around me. X__X

*deep breath* It's nice to just sit in the library, with barely a soul around, and use the internet to my heart's content. =) And with DVDs to watch tonight from the media library, I am all set for an agenda-less existence.

That is to say, until I er start packing. Which will occur. Soon. Of course. Ahem.

Graduation weekend was insane but it was pretty fun! I'm sad though, that GL and XW have graduated. ;_; But I'm sure I'll see them again. Yay.

But basically, life is good now that everything is quietening down. Time to post pictures!!! This is everything from April till Graduation... Haha... Obviously I need to catch up.=P

Daffodils up north!

Post-Exam-Arb-Stroll! Beautiful sun-dappled leaves~

Tulips in full bloom at medical campus!

Seaweed chicken version 2 that I made for our rehearsal picnic at the arb!! =) [Version 1 was in Spring of Freshman year =P]

Strawberry Champagne Chocolate Cupcake from Cake Nouveau in Kerrytown~ It was actually one of the nicest cupcakes I've eaten here!

At Argo Park!!! Pre-Sam surgery look =P
What were we doing at Argo Park...? Look below~

Enjoying the weather and...

Shooting photos of earrings! ^_^

And after we were done at Argo Park, off we went to Izakaya Sampei in Canton to indulge (once again) in 鴨鍋 (Kamonabe; duck hotpot)!! SO GOOD. I want to go there again...

This weekend was graduation weekend!!!

Blurry shot of us in line at the big house, waiting to get our seats for the commencement ceremony~

I think I'm really good at capturing the right moment when the subtitle captions appear on screen. HAHA.

Great background!!! This is after the whole commencement thing.=)

*many many negative infinity*
I'll miss being in Michigan with them: my first 2 friends in eastquad. ^_^

It's kind of a sad moment to realize that my first 2 friends in east quad everrr have graduated and now we're left in school but at the same time, I'm happy that they're now "Adults" and are going on to their next stages in life. ^_^

Bittersweet moments galore.

cheers

Graduation Eve

Hello

WARNING: IMAGE-HEAVY!

Today is the last official day in school since, technically, tomorrow we're just going to school for the baccalaureate service! ^_^ We were taking photos like crazy today and as proof, I have more than 100 photos from today alone and my camera battery is flat.O.o Terrible. Haha.=) But.. Allow me to share our joy and happiness with everyone.^_^

Also, please allow me to use collages since uploading all at once would be painful for both you and me.^^" [much thanks to Jiamin and her sister for telling me about picasa. Wee! ^_^]

The classmates:

^_^ The happy campers in our own NL2. ^_^

The friends:

*beams!* Our random shots around the school.=) Yay! [Notice that Jiamin+Vivion appear regularly. Now we know who loves the camera.xD]

The seat partners:

Yay! Sitting beside Joel entails a lot of prodding to wake him up. Haha.=D But he's a really nice person and although I hardly sat next to him in this last term, it's been a nice experience the past year.=) Beams.

The Post-It Corners:

*beams!* On 2 sides of the classrooms, we have fabulous post-it corners! ^_^ Aren't we totally creative? *beams!* I think the collage makes the images too small for you to actually read them though. Sad. I think some are rather cute.=D Yay!

The Land of Great Disparity [ie: Torture and Fun]:

LT6!!! Our ex-history LT!!! =D =D =D Many memories in this place since we also had our haunted house here.^_^ I always remember running like crazy up the stairs to dash into history lecture to avoid a glare and a scream from the Ngoei.xP Haha. But Fun-O-Rama! ^_^ It was such hard work trying to do up the whole place but in the end.^_^ Beams! Our efforts were definitely paid off.

[Most of] The Class:

Beams. We all went to Crystal Jade for dinner tonight.^_^ One of the rare class outings.=) Notice the King in the middle.^_^" Hehe.

It's been tiring.. fun.. and.. a whole range of emotions have passed through us these 2 years [maybe not us, but at least for me] and although I'm glad to be out of school, at the same time, it's a bit sad. All the great friends I've made in ACJC.. thinking about it, I really have to thank the school for bringing us together. ^_^ If none of us had chosen AC, we'd never have met or become friends. I love how life throws people together and makes something good come out of it sometimes.=)

After dinner, Vivion Jiamin and I went to Gelare to take advantage of the offer on Tuesday for their waffles. The plain waffles go at half-price for a measly sum of $3!!! Amazingly worth it.=D It's not the best waffle I've eaten in my life, but it was very acceptable.=D It was freshly made at least and not one of those disgusting heat-up types.=)

The waffle! I'm a waffle purist. I don't eat my waffles with anything but syrup [the whipped cream they gave me was horrendously bad.xP And I removed it. Quickly.]on it.=) Yay.

^_^ Our greed.

Gosh I'm really tired. Okay. Off to bed. Got to wake up bright and early for the Baccalaureate Service tomorrow.=) I'm looking forward to seeing how their videos will turn out after all the hard work my classmates have put into them.

Sing ACS forever more
Our ACS forever
God save our land and heaven bless
Our ACS forever
cheers
