had the graduation lunch on saturday and i only decided to post now. everything went relatively smoothly and it was thanks to the select few who were organising it. managed to squeeze into a table with 6 girls already sitting there because hanmao was busy chatting with his supervisor and subsequently decided to sit beside him (aka, he pang seh us).
girls seem to like to dress up. even for a mere lunch, they are more presentable than the guys. we (collectively the large majority of guys) simply wore what we usually wore to class (the more presentable attires meaning no berms and slippers. ha!!). i mean just look above and then look below. hmmm actually come to think of it, we dont look that shabbily dressed right? ha!
took a few photos, then decided that i wanted to spend my "rest day" out rather than at home. so followed hm, yq and guohui on the north east line heading to hougang. had a nice chat with guohui at hougang mall all the way tilll around 4 plus that day and then took 74 home. a pity tkm was already in oxford and alot of the algebra profs did not turn up, in fact i think if we remove the algebraists who held departmental or faculty staff appointments, there would have been none.
anyway, commencement's on 9th july at 9am. that's like a sunday morning. and i think i'm sitting at a corner seat. major bummer. meaning only one person beside me. oh well. i have to go ask the rest about their seat numbers.
my mum's going to get a maid to look after my grandma when she returns from the rehab centre. finally managed to convince her that that was the best option. and coordingly, i decided to contribut 100 bucks from my pathetic scholarship allowance per month to help pay for the maid. haha! well i dont really NEED that much per month do i? i'm sure i can work my finances around that, the iceland trip, and my laptop loan.
i tried dou jiang (or is it dou hua shui, i still cant tell the difference by taste) with chin chow. it is quite a nice mix actually. going to buy some for my grandma today and perhaps a bowl of ah baling. she's been eating well recently and it's really nice to see that she' back to her 'usual' relatively alert and relatively energetic state. so there a nice reward for her. must think of other possibilities. any suggestions? it must be soft and preferably not too dry. she refuses to wear her dentures so she chews with whatever remaining teeth she still has. any help is greatly appreciated (no no rewards except one dose of my genuine, double boiled, packed and sealed gratitude) haha!
ok i've got to get ready for badminton. must not lose... (concentration)... today! haha! ciao! wow amazing!!! another entry that is not an attempt at a prose debating some highly philosophical issue or sociologicaly disturbing trend in singapore (aka no more whining and smoking out!).
