While waiting...

Last Friday waiting for Mr Yong at the bus stop near his workplace.. hmmmm i think I waited for half an hour. Then my stomach is calling me heehee luckily I have a small box of snacks which my mgr bought for us in Shanghai. Very nice but abit salty, inside there are abt 11sticks..

Abt waiting for another 10min, he had came. Then we headed to Parkway to buy my swimming suit and goggles. Really never swim for many years and now realised there are many different kinds of 2 pcs swimming suit. In my mind, I thought 2pcs are those bikinis kind Hahaha I very old fashioned hor. But I chose a 2 pcs that looked like aerobics one LOL! But not cheap... cost abt S$80+ and the goggles is S$30+.

Then we headed for makan. I picked the Sakae Teppanyaki. But I still think the bugis outlet is nicer!!

Photo Taking Time

After the ceremony, Mr Yong went to take his prof camera from his car and we started taking photos!! He mentioned that the photos not taken much.. But I told him I find the photos quite a numbers liao. But only the four of us photo (group photo) only 2 pcs...

Finally!!!

Heehee ... the convocation is on last last Sunday, 13-Jul. Until now then I posted, too busy these past 2 weeks. No time to post.

Seating time for graduates and guests commences one hour prior to the official start time of each ceremony. To ensure that the ceremony will start on time, all graduates must be seated inside the UCC Auditorium at 9.40am

So we supposed to leave the house after breakfast. Due to I overslept and we left the house around 8:35am. Then we reached the UCC Hall's car park at 9am and we are so blur.. Keep forgetting to take this and that as we left our bags in the car. No intention to bring up so many things. When we reached the UCC Hall, we heard the announcement that the Robing room will be closed in 20min time and got to rush over quickly and it was crowded inside hence got to wait for a while before we can go into and change. After changing, my mum and sister have entered the auditorium and can't take photos with them first. So I took with Mr Yong with his and my hp camera.

After 9:40am, we went in to be seated and abt 10am sharp, the ceremony started with the national Anthem. Heehee... can't remember waited for how long then it was our faculty turn. Then we have our Attendance Card ready and proceed towards presentation on stage. The Attendance Card handed to the marshal on duty just before I proceed on stage. It contain a barcode which is swiped and my details will appear on-screen for reading out by the ceremony officical, just as I walked up the stage to be presented to the Presiding Officer. After that, I picked up my degree scroll and transcript en route back to my seat.

I still can remember that when the last graduate on stage, everyone clapped loudly and with joy! Heehee so funny.. I think the last graduate must be shock!

The ceremony is ended with the national anthem and the next few min the balloons dropped from the ceiling.

After leaving the auditorium, it's Photo Taking Time!! LOL!

At the entrance, the ushers will check your Attendance Card and show you to the seat. The seat number is indicated on the Attendance Card.

The Graduate Attendance Card is required for the Ceremony Official to read out your name (and prizes, if any) when you are presented on stage. Thus, please hold the Attendance Card in your hand or put it inside the pocket of your academic dress. If you have forgotton to bring the Attendance Card, please report to the ushers at the entrance of the Auditorium for a replacement.

When the ceremony begins, please stand up to welcome the academic procession. Please continue to stand when the National Anthem is played. You may sit down after the Presiding Officer has declared the ceremony open.

When it is time for your graduating cohort to be presented on stage, the ushers will lead you up the stage.

As the names of the graduates will be read out in the sequence that the Attendance Cards are scanned, please do not change position with your fellow graduates after you have given the Attendance Card to the student helpers.

There are two red lines on the stage. You should wait at the 2nd line and move to the 1st line when the graduate standing in the 1st line has walked out to the centre of the stage. When your name is called, walk to the Presiding Officer at the centre of the stage. Shake hands with the Presiding Officer and receive the degree scroll from him. Muslim graduates who do not want to shake hands should hold a copy of the Commencement Book in their hand.

Towards the end of the ceremony, the valedictorian will deliver a speech. The National Anthem will be played and the academic procession sitting on the stage will first leave the Hall. Please follow the instructions of the ushers to leave after the academic procession. The original degree scroll will be given at the ceremony. Please take care of the degree scroll as it is irreplaceable.

Mini Project A Status #2

Yesterday has combined most of the parts up... left abt 10% not completed for this doll cos I feel that his bow tie is quite small so decide to crotchet it slightly bigger. I have decided his name! Let's called him, Michael. Heehee... but this mini project is not consider 1OO% complete as he has a friend that is processing wor... Hahahaha!

I feel Michael very cute... looked very short. =P Did you notice one of the legs not placed properly? Heehee... after sewing the opening of that "leg" and realised that it should not be like this but no choice liao cos unable to un-sew it and lazy to crotchet it as that "leg" is in black color due to my house lighting is not bright enough so I do not want to stress my eyes... So just joined it with his body..

No picture to post for his friend cos I haven't sew the eyes and mouth of his friend. Wanted to do it together with Michael but after I completed Michael, it is already quite late hmmm the time was around 10:30pm. Tonight also unable to do because I am doing for mini project B. Hahaha many mini projects are running at the same time. LOL!

Father's Day!

Must be wondering what we, daughters, get for him. Heehee... the gift is Sony PlayStation 3 !

Chosen two games for him that are Dark Sector and Metal Gear Solid 4.

Hope you like the Gift! Happy Father's Day!

Mini Projects Status

Recently no updates for all the mini projects... as my fingers are very painful and can't really continue with them. Yesterday felt that my fingers have slightly recovered and tried to do mini project B and spent one whole afternoon doing one small part due my fingers are having blisters, peeling skins etc so the processing is slow...In the end, I stopped the work at around 6pm.

Last Saturday

Has met up with Yong to get something for Father's Day Gift. We decided to eat Sashimi in Parkway before going town as afraid the shop did not have the stock. After taking our early lunch, it's around 11+am still consider quite early and waiting for them to reply my email regarding abt the stock status... We went to Giant for shopping my grocery. But after buying, there is no reply hence we decided to go ahead to town.

When we reached there, it was our turn as not much people. Maybe few min or so later, quite a lot of people was queueing up in the shop. Heehee the gift is cum his birthday gift as well which we usually will combine the present. As his birthday fall early next month so we usually will get expensive gift for him.

The time is 1:45pm after getting Father's Day Gift, the next stop is to go to sinseh for me and him...hmmm washed his car so that he can pick me up later. I reached abt 2:10pm it's already long queue for the Sinseh Yu and I knew have to wait for at least 45min as the beds are fully occupied and there are only three of them.. Too tired of waiting hence dozed off at the clinic heehee...

About 3pm, yong called me and asked whether I am done but I told me not my turn yet... So he went to my home first and bathed my little girl, Kesia. Heehee... I escaped this time Hahahah no need to bathe her by myself.

Can't really remember the timing abt 3:45pm then it's my turn *Sad*. Wait sooooooooo long.... Sigh then I left the place at 4:30pm. My half of the Saturday is spent like this... Luckily no more classes heehee otherwise will feel wasted for my Sat. Took bus back with Anne then she headed to NTUC Supermarket as for me, went back home. Kesia is so happy when I reached home as if I have not seen her for many days... LOL! So 热情! Making me feel that she is SO sweet!

About 5pm, went to buy the Ocean Curry Fish Head and headed back to his home for dinner. LOL!

Mini Project Status #5

Supposed to put the eyes first before finished the body. But as a beginner does not know abt it and completed the whole body then realised the eyes are not added on. Then I used the round pliers to poke the area that the eyes needed to put and for the wooden chopstick to expand the area. Spent whole Sunday doing it. Hahahaha. Finally this mini project is completed!

I have found an owner for it and the owner is Ms Supervisor!

Ms Supervisor, pls don't mind the workmanship hor. =P

Mini Project A Status #1

There are many mini projects running concurrently... In order not to confuse the updates hence decide to add the alphabet to represent each mini project.

Mini Project A:

Think most of you can guess what is this. Yup, you are right! It is a human. Able to tell it is a boy or girl?


Heehee... I like this doll very much cos I find that my skill for crotchet is improving. =P Although I mention that the skill is improving but hor this doll has abit defective.. defective in here is not referring to the real meaning of this word. I saying this because the doll is not 100% perfect of my requirements. Due to time constraint, I got to move on to the next step otherwise I will redo, redo, redo and redo until it meets my standard. LOL!

Let me think what name should I address this doll. Will able to address his/her name in my next update.

New needles

Last Tuesday went to Spotlight to buy super long needles for my mini projects. Stayed there for almost one hour as there are so many choices in a pack... In the end, I bought 4 in a pack, the shortest one measured abt 79mm. Very long hor!

When I went back home, I still thinking whether I make the wrong choice getting that pack. Very indecisive hor... Until yesterday, I tried the 89mm long needle. Excellent! Suitable for my mini project. Duno how to describe the usefulness for that length. Really Good!

Mini Project Status #4

The needle broke due to my roughness. Hence 80% is completed. Yong said its arm looked very muscle and fat! Hahahaha so funny. I think I use hook size 2 that why looked big.


Now I thinking who to give... heehee... if the person who received it, pls don't mind the poor workmanship. Cos I am beginner wor... LOL!

I am so rough...

Heehee... yesterday was happily combining the parts together and looking forward for the completed pcs... Suddenly the needle broke! I am so sad.. cause it is very difficult to find the long needle... Luckily I used a slightly shorter needle to complete the part that I was doing. But in the end unable to complete 100%.

Cartoon

Have been watching the Life Art recently.. Like the main actress Zi Wah drawing the cartoon characters. So Cute! Heehee... Drawn 2 characters out.

Mini Project Status #3

The parts I done that I felt not good in overall... hence unable to join them together... I have completed half of it. I personally feel that it is not nice. Therefore I now doing another set. On hand there are two sets which I intend to redo them.

The picture shown one small defective. Did you notice? =P

My Foot

Yesterday went to tui na again... this time I sprained another part of my foot. OMG! So many problems recently my foot... Sigh.. Sinseh recommended me to take the medicine.. But I don't want. She said will be better for me then I told her if 2 weeks later still haven't recovered then I will try to take the medicine LOL!

She recommended not to wear sandals but with less than 0.5inch heels. But I told her it is very hard to find... recently whenever I walked past those shoes/heels shops I will drop in and take a look... But none caught my eyes... =(

MTM Facial

Yesterday went to mtm for their facial. Tried out their Aloe Collagen A and Pure Oxgyen Injection & Mask. My skin looks more radiance and refreshing. The dead skins, blackheads, whiteheads, oil pores are removed. But not 100% for blackheads as some are inside the skin. Hence got to make another trip down in another 2 weeks later.

The beautician looked professional and din really hard sell their services & products. During the facial, we just chit-chatting other stuffs. She is a very nice lady! Younger than me, her age i think is 20+. Heehee... making me feel that I am so old now =P

Really enjoyed the facial especially when her hands massaged my face, neck and shoulders are so comfortable. Heehee... =D
