Weekend Basketball

Recently, thanks to my buddies, we have regular Sunday session to play sports at NTU Sports & Recreation Centre, once in a while to destress ourselves from our working or business agendas. Also got chance to meet back NTU juniors, to have a game and breakfast together.

Yes, I brought my new 550D during the recent Sunday game. The weather was initially quite cloudy as the rain was just stopped in early morning, but became better then.

The game begins...

with the child becomes referee? err...mei mei, that's car key, not whistle...

Are you guys ready?

See Youu warming up at one side, haha...

我投！

空中飞人! Unstoppable!

Quoted from Cher Teck conversation on Sam's superb performance on the court: "他飞身一跃，转身上篮，球最后都会拥抱篮网，入网的声音无法抵挡啊！"

男人帮！

Classic!

This week basketball game will be off as we'll be going for one-day tour around Batam!!!

*Pray Hard for Japan* Japan, you will get well soon! Get well & get well & get well...

My Convocation!

I shall start my convocation post with appreciation to my family and friends for their continuous support throughout my four year journey in NTU.

Together, we are not alone.

The end of the undergraduate life can be felt since early this year, where I joined NTU Malaysian Alumni Night at NTU One-North campus, mingled around with alumnis and friends...so fast become part of the alumni already.

This is the first time alumni gathering among Malaysians was organized and it was quite successful.

Photos sourced from NTU Alumni Photo Gallery.

Bringing back the memories of the alumnis as students of Nantah. Can you find out where I am?

Then the week after the event...MSA Senior Appreciation Tea Time Gathering at NTU Canteen 5!

Emcees of the day: Ariel and Teng Seng.

Friends gathering around...yum cha and chit chat. Even though exams were coming near, organizing committees were still able to find out time to organize this meaningful event. Well done guys!

A special-made graduation T-shirt with signitures and wishes from friends. Thanks a lot from you guys! Make me miss NTU lagi much! lol...

Then after FYP, after examinations, after going for HK graduation trip...

...my parents came to Singapore to witness my convocation. Yippee!

...but before that, we went around Singapore and NTU first...

On the other hand, I also went to the Auditorium the day before the ceremonies *spy* to see how the ceremony will look like...

Bear bear for sale..."wawa, I don't want to be sold off!"

The opening ceremony by the President of Singapore, S.R.Nathan with the appearance of the NTU Mace.

Helping out in the iGave Graduation Giving program and witness the plaque laying ceremony at the Quad, symbolizing the graduation of Class 2009 and continue the tradition of giving back to the University endowment to benefit future generations of students of the university.

On 28th July 2009, I am graduated! My graduation ceremony was scheduled in the morning together with other Electrical and Electronic Engineering students. As the population of EEE students are large (should be the largest among NTU schools), the ceremony for EEE undergraduates is divided into 2 sessions: surname A-M in morning, N-Z in the afternoon. So, mine in morning!

Me and my certification of course completion as Bachelor of Engineering.

Received plenty of wishes and congratulations from friends and families, be it face to face, Facebook, MSN, blog, phone, SMS, etc. :) Thanks!

Not forgeting non-stop photo takings with friends and families...

after the ceremony...

and also visited friends' convocations!

Too much photos already, that's why I collage together. Complete photo uploads are available in my Facebook, let you see gao gao till stomuch also full...

Days after the formal convocation ceremony, NTU Alumni Office has specially organized an event to welcome new batch of Alumni of Class of 2009 yesterday night! Where?

Zouk Singapore!

Opening ceremony by Dr. Su, President of NTU.

Who say not-so-young people can't dance?

VIPs on stage with Modern Jazz group - before action...

See, when music ON, irrespective of age, everyone were enjoying...

Met friends, be it same batch or graduated...let's party together all night!

Believe it or not, this is my first time experience clubing. Feels great to enjoy the move, music and friends all around...just that the music volume a lil...high. lol...

So, here's the end of my once-in-a-lifetime experience of being a undergraduate graduating from a university. Tomorrow onwards, I will start another new chapter of my life - WORK!

K, gonna leave for dinner...nice day!

Get Set for a New Life Journey

Arr, it has been around 2 weeks since the last post, because have been busy recently on part time jobs and interviews as well as...a bit lazy.

Time flies, it's the period where graduating students are waiting for: Convocation! This marks the end of study life for most of the students (some may choose to study for postgraduate courses) and the beginning life of working life. Some would think that "Ah, no more exams!!!", but do aware that more challanges are waiting for you in future o: careers, family, etc. For me, I will miss my school life a lot: busy with ECAs and projects, soak myself in the sea of TVB series, etc.

Friendships forever...taken during NTUMSA Senior Appreciation Gathering 2009.

Went around for meals and outings...

Will be having my convocation next Tuesday 9am, celebrating together with my parents and friends! Thanks for your support throughout my education journey!

-------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand, after months of searching, I have finally found my job! Guess what, it's Apple!

"an apple a day keeps the doctor away!" Work as an eater to eat apples everyday?

No la, it's Steve Job's Apple!

This is a 2-month contract job as Online Store Customer Service Representative, helping customers on pre- or post-sales through phone calls. Sounds easy, but could be challenging as different customers could have different demands and requests. Hope to perform well in this job and if given opportunity, hope can seek for long term employment with Apple! :) Also happy to know that some of my friends also got this offer! And more and more are getting jobs! Congratulations! *hand claps*

And by the way, I will continue my story-tellings (or long-winded stories?) on my Hong Kong trip, got Ocean Park, the Peak, Stanley, etc, soon. Sorry for keep you guys waiting! Here are some sneak previews on my coming posts!

Continue to explore the city area of Hong Kong island...

Ocean Park, summer fiesta there...

Solo backpack to the Giant Buddha / Po Lin Monastery at Mui Wo...

What's so nice about this building?

K, gonna sleep, as my parents will be reaching Singapore in a couple of hours later.

Take care!
