It's amazing how for 3 years of your life you work hard to only get a paper certification at the end of the day. I find it fulfilling. That little piece of paper is the evidence that shows how I have lead my life in poly. The shits we go through with the tons of projects that does not stop pouring in. The enjoyments and parties we had with each submission and passing semester. The months of long holidays which end up with most of us working to sustain our ever high maintenance life.
This is but the life of a poly student. And mine is the life of a Hospitality and Tourism Management student. Yesterday I fully graduated from my course. The ceremony itself as all other ceremonies started out with the boring speeches. However, the enthusiasm of the graduands cheering for each and everyone of their course mates were making up for the boredom.
CMM, HTB, HTM and RMT. These were the four courses that were the first to graduate from the 2005 batch, since of course we were graduands of the first session of the first day.
It was a battle of the courses when the awards were given out. Being one of the best courses in Business schools and with a total of 255 graduands, HTM was of course the loudest of them all.
Yesterday was probably the last time that I will get to meet most of my course mates. Everyone will be heading in their own different paths right now.
As for me, I will be missing the times that I stay up late getting the projects done on time. Not sleeping for more than 50 hours. Walking around school like a zombie. Binging on the oh-so-cheap school food. Ogling at all the eye-candies. Gagging at the sight of the eyesores. Going for Wakeboard dry training sessions in sch and trainings at Kallang. Going for coregroup meetings with the DramaTec peeps. Skipping classes to catch a movie at the school library. Or have fish and chips with Moon. Or just for the sake of skipping.
To all my friends who graduated, my heartest congratulations!!! To those of you still in the course of study, your turn will come soon. In the meantime, enjoy school life as much as you can. There is never the same experience when you leave.
PS:
Moon - You have been with me since the time when we first step into school. I love the times when we have our "moments" that others don't seem to understand. And I am missing the times when we hang out with each other. Our friendship is one that is rooted deep in our hearts and will stay no matter what we face in the future. I love you Moon!!!
Jyuneen - It's amazing how we can click with each other on the spot without knowing each other before. You are my source of rationale when my mind fails me. You are always there for a listening ear. Even with our hectic schedules now, I know that we will keep each other in mind. I heart you my Sayang!
Abg - Eventhough we are not blood related, I have always treated you as my ABG. We share the same passions in Dance and you brought it to the next level. How I wish I could find time to do what you do best. Dance on my ABG!
Sri - We only got close when we started our stint in STB. Now we are like inseparable. We are rebellious at times. But most of the time, we are ever so gorgeous in and out of work. They say we look like twins. Even my mum agrees. You are my mother hen when I tend to get wasted which I always do whenever I am with you. We share almost the same past eventhough our paths never crossed back then. We have so much in common yet I have only truly known you since 8 months back. We have come so far in these past months. I know for a fact that we will forge our friendship deeper. I love you Sri!
Leon - You were the first person I spoke to in Psychology class. We started off slow then but we managed to get close now. Its amazing how I can click with you so well. I remember the time when I lost my handphone. You were such a Darl, not forgetting a gentleman, to accompany me to the various places in school as well as to get the new SIM card and handphone. You are another person with whom I can get wasted cause I know you will always keep me safe. Do keep in touch. I don't want to lose you. Love you Hon!
To the rest of my friends - I may not have mentioned you in this post. But you are part of me and you made my life in Poly so much more interesting. These includes all those in my classes, my Wakeboard kakis, my Drama peeps and those I made friends with at random.
