The big V Day

What I did on the big V day!

My V Day was chocka-blok full to the max! With appointment after appointment!

First things first, I woke up at the glorious time of 5:45AM! Can you believe it! There was no other time that we could possibly meet except for 6:30AM - but taking into consideration the fact that I have to shower and drive to the rendevous, I had to get up at 5:45AM! And note: I only got told this the night before. No human is up at that inconceivable time of dark! So anyway, I got up that early to meet these G33ks!


We were up that early to shoot a video for Freshies. It was actually quite fun despite not having breakfast and going straight into filming... at 7AM. Except for Chris who decided to have Maccas without us! rarh!

Our first stop was the petrol station because we needed to get red bubble gum which was supposed to be part of the script. Raphael, our videographer was shooting all the way and we decided to impromptu shoot at the petrol station to see the reaction of the lady working. But she said that we weren't allowed to film. Respect. So we didn't... we bought our gum and left - but I think she was a little amused. She wished us luck on the way out.

So we were supposed to go to Lesmurdie to shoot - but decided it was too far, so in the end we went to the bushlands of Waterford! haha...

Sorry no further pictures from hereonin, because I left my camera in the bag, in the car - and was pronounced the headphone girl thereafter. So we did a few impromptu skits in the bush being Australians! Jess is so funny! The final product of the video will be shown during Freshies week - I'm pretty excited. My hand makes a cameo appearance! hoho~

We met some people on our journey in filming - had a chat with the locals in the Waterford area. All very chummy bushland people.

Once we finished filming, went back and dropped all the gear off and me and Jess went to Maccas to finally have breakfast around 10am! So hungry by that time. Went home at 10:30am... was wanting to check my eyes with mum - because my eye sight has gone pretty bad recently - due to over exposure of looking at the computer screen at work and home. Anyway, my optometrist is booked out for the next month! Whattt!! So I made an appointment in March - I wanna get new specs and sunnies! =)

Then straight after that, went out to Carousel again to settle some stuff with mother. Was so freaking tired shopping and running errands.

Came home, and tried to sleep for about 2 hours. But my mind was a whizz and constantly thinking about ZFF and then camp... and then ZFF... and then camp, mind whirring, heart palpitating - cannot sleep! Amidst all that, Diana called me in the first hour of my "sleep"... and then Luthanial called me in my second hour of "sleep"... until I couldn't take it anymore. All these thoughts in my head, things I have to remember, memos ETC ETC ETC - I just got up, went to check my mail and do some things.

Then showered, because my cousin was going to bring her cousin and her Aunt to come visit - from her side of the family. We never met them before. The aunty is quite nice la... but I didn't get much time to talk to them... because... I had to leave and go for graduation!

For those who might remember, V day holds a special place in my heart because it was 1 year ago that I graduated! 1 year ago - oh how time flies, and I could get so emo right now (but I won't), oh how time flies...and I would be back on the graduation grounds on the same day 1 year later - for Usha, Joanne and Zheng Yi's graduation! *heart*

(My favourite picture of Sha - *tee hee*)

I was assigned official photographer *tee hee* and I just finished editing the photos and burning the photos onto disc for her. They are awesome pictures if I may say so myself - because the people in the photos look GREAT!!! haha and it was blooming hot ok - even for a drizzly overcast day! We were all sweating - and even the waiters looked like they had a waterfall running down the back of their necks.

Anyway, we took some pretty nice pictures. Was hoping that Miss Tay would make her special secret appearance at her graduation - but *gasp* no...she didn't come. Besides, the secret's out *WINK*



Okay - like... Joanne's family is SO cute! Her mum holds the video cam everywhere... just constantly filming. She's so cute - and you can tell the dad is so proud of his daughter, he keeps wanting to take pics! I helped them take pics as well, they are such an adorable family - and most adorable-est is the youngest sister! SHE'S SO CUTE!!!! XD

Sat in the graduation with Cheah Yen, May and Usha's mum - it was pretty long and there were some suprise people I didn't expect to be graduating like Tim Chang from my previous church, Cherie Seah from ISC last time and Someone Sfreddo (who looks exactly like my primary school class mates sister! - but I can't remember her name)!!! Suprise Suprise!

At the end of the night, we met at the top of the walk way - there was so many people, but somehow, everyone managed to find everyone. I think Chin Seng was the flashing light house from afar. Everyone could spot him from a distance! Anyway, congratulations to the 3 graduates!!! You deserve it after all your hard work - you pharmacists!



Didn't get home till about 11pm+ and was freaking tired... I just dropped on the bed. zzz.

On a side note: digi suckzors.... you all should get a DSLR! Taking so many photos for people during graduation with their little digi camera's - nup, nothing beats the click and sound of the DSLR.
