i was surfing around youtube for gatekeeper anime videos. yes it was the first anime i liked. cant even remember when it was released though. and due to some copyright issue, it's been removed form the site. but i stumbled across this video while looking for badminton videos. cool huh! they do it so elegantly and smoothly!
tomorrow's commencement. so fast and my undergraduate life will be officially over celebrated by going up stage to recieve an empty scroll from the dean, only to recieve the real cert en route back to my seat from the stage. will probably be going through another ceremony next year when i complete my masters. haha and then another one when my sister graduates the following year. haha! terence managed to grab hold of an extra ticket from hanmao, who incidentally is the reserve valedictorian. haha! i really wonder if there every has been the case where the valedictorian has failed to show up. hmmm. watched a bit of the medicine commemcement ceremony yesterday. but largely spent the time laughing at how their deam pronounces, or rather, MISpronounces their names. haha! geraldine was as usual full of smiles and grinned all the walk when she walked on stage to the moment she was off teh camera. haha! mf looked normal except for the fact that his gown kept flapping open (gosh i hope mine doesnt). i missed weiquan because i was blankly staring at the screen waiting for people who i knew to walk on stage. i thought that when their names were read, i would instantly take notice and refocus on the screen. but the next name i noticed was agnes who is a huang, and so i missed mr or shld i say DR heng. dilin looked very cute, like a p6 going up to recieve some book prize. haha! had a very silly grin on his face! haha!
anyway will be going for a class outing today. jc class that is. zd is back from australia en route back home to beijing. havent seen most of these guys for the past year, but i'm glad we still meet up every year. hope dayna will be going (highly unlikely though) haha, then i can ask her about stuff pertaining to teaching in rj (although i feel more and more compelled to apply to hc now since i already know 2 people teaching there and 3 more who want to teach there! haha).
i went for my medical examination for the graduate programme on thrusday. i am oficially still 1.78 but now, i've lost 3 kg so i'm 64, urrrgh! luckily i'm still in the healthy bmi range, but i think i need to put on a bit more weight to avoid looking so skeletal. hope i havent been losing weight due to the stress of the past few weeks!
dont you just hate it whenever you see things in the newspaper like "a reputable boy's school in bishan" or "a top junior college in bishan". i just think it's so pretentious. i mean to me, the newspaper, especially the section that reports on issues other than the latest hollywood fad, should be a source of neutral information. well not totally neutral, but as neutral as it can get. to me, if the name of the school needs to be made know, then just make it known, loud and clear. if it cannot be made known, then there is no need to start hinting. such sentences carry with them a certain sense of sarcasm, which at times, depending on the rest of the article, seem to riddicule the mentioned school. it would be acceptable to me, for one to make such comments as a form of speech between friends or enemies in a non formal context, but to have it down in print and even more so in a newspaper just doesnt feel right. i guess writters (do i even have the authority to comment? haha!) sometimes need to be a little more conscious of matching their style fo writting with that of the medium used. or maybe, i'm just being irritated with the fact that it almost always seemingly refers to RI, RGS or RJ.
i think it's time for me to bathe and prepare to go visit my grandma again. buying her tang yuan again. hope she doesnt cry again today. sigh!
