so convo ball came and went.


haha the amount of enthusiasm i had for it was so incredibly minimal and the only reason i was looking forward to 25th july was because of the really long weekend that i am enjoying right now (finally! i am not all moody on a sunday night! HELL YEAH!) i bought my dress in 10 mins (and kinda regretted it because it's really not the most flattering dress bloody hell), bought 4 inch heels on friday night in 5 mins and everything else like 2 hours before the actual event. that's how much i was bothered about it.

i mean, i heart nbs and all my marketing people, but unfortunately only a few of my friends were there, and that became blatantly clear when i kept taking pictures with the same old people over and over again during the event. in the end i just couldn't be arsed to even walk around and mingle.


anywho it's over and i'm irritated with myself with the amount of money i blew on this thing. i am now stuck with a dress, shoes and accessories i probably would not be wearing in the next 5 years.

on a bright note however, i've discovered that i LOVE manicures (omg OPI rocks!), i should and i will go buy fake eyelashes (oh the miracle that is fake eyelashes. no amount of dark eyeshadow you pile on can rival the wonderous effect that fake eyelashes give.) and i am now considering perming my hair. HAHA.


man jingying's hilarious. i signed in to msn and she immediately msged me in like 2 seconds with this: "i wanna see your eye candyyy!!!!!!"

alright alright. the pictures are here. im not saying anything. you all can guess which one it is. it may be obvious. it may be not. i don't know. hahahaha.




i met peisee early afternoon for the last minute shopping of accessories and for hair+makeup

our hair+makeup artist. i personally think she's awesome. if you think we look good then you can consider giving her a call. hahaha.

you can't see my hair, but it's basically a low ponytail with curls and on hindsight i really should have just requested for curls and nothing else. but she was so enthusiastic about doing something more complicated i felt bad to make her redo the whole thing. DAMN. IT.

something like this.

HOW? PERM/DONT PERM? appreciate opinions.

i love my eye makeup!!!

sorry about the hugeass eye pictures though.

we were done way too early so went had dessert @ shokudo raffles city. and we hung around the lobby of swissotel bitching about what other people were wearing. HAHA.

this was completely unintentional but turned out nice anyway!

the reception area. we were served soft drinks. i was completely annoyed by the lack of alcohol.

there was a tarot card reading! i can't take it too seriously but dude's pretty accurate. HE SAID I HAVE UNREALISTIC (okay, he actually said very high. but i'll interpret it the way i feel) EXPECTATIONS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS AND AM AGGRESSIVE. hahaha. alright. kudos for pinpointing facts but i'd actually like to know more about the future yes?


stephanie!

sarah!

linxi!

xinwei + weiwei!

xinwei + michael!

vic!

(haha. i am trying not to give commentary to pictures so it's not obvious as to which one is actually my eye candy)

marketing! :)


inside the ballroom


and then i don't have much praises for the entire event. the food was terrible for the amount we paid. the band was *facepalm* (SO MUCH second-hand embarrassment) the emcee was grating and obnoxious to say the least (although he did became really funny towards the end, not gonna lie)

more pictures

kelvin!

guoxiang!

jieying and mic!

cheeyu!

jinyuan!

shiling!

all of us marketing peeps! :)

convocation itself is in another.. 7 hours.
i wish i cared more about it, because right now i don't give a damn. maybe i've been working far too long to feel that this actually signifies an end to my studying life. (also, i haven't been actually studying for loooooong time. my last paper was in november last year)


ah well. i am looking forward to seeing the marketing people again though! and going back to nbs one last time.



(hahahha. i just looked through the pictures once more and i realised that erm. three out of my four eye candies over the years in nbs are actually in them. HAHAHA.)

it was simply a lovely week! it was the first week where i was so occupied with work i didn't have time to feel sleepy although i went to work everyday feeling like crap. but yet i wasn't so overwhelmed that i couldnt do Europe research on the side. haha! and all that paris research put me in a really good mood because i'm finally going to one of the cities i've been wanting to go to since i was little! everything looks and sounds so gorgeous!

and google maps is seriously awesome.



a view of the street outside our paris hotel. i can get a full 360 degrees view of every single thing surrounding the hotel in crystal clear details. and if you map a route between two points, you can follow the arrows and you'll be able to get a view of what it's like as though you're walking between those two points! COOLNESS TO THE MAX!

the LV flagship store at champs elysees. gorgeous!

friday night i met up with the marketing girls and had a fab dinner with them, gossiping and bitchin! :) if you told me two years ago that we'd be meeting up after graduation, i wouldn't have believed you. so it's great that we're making the effort to do so! :) looking forward to our next monthly date!

xinwei ordered the bo luo bao and had the most hilarious reaction towards it. i promised i would put captions into the pictures we took of her reaction, so here it is. the general idea is there. haha

after dinner we walked around camwhoring

this is an entry for two very important people in my NBS life.



my two dearest FYP mates!

they're celebrating their birthdays just a day apart, though 10000km away from each other (i don't know lah. how far is switzerland from singapore?)

i can't help but feel so grateful that i've got to known the two of them, one of the main reasons being, i had two wonderful FYP group mates, if not (like how i often tell peisee) i could very well have ended doing with Miss 怎么办! horrors! but also because, these two lovely people are the few gems of friends i've found at nbs.

celebrating her 24th (and she still doesn't look a year over 21 HAHAHA) birthday first on the 22nd of April is bejeweled-pro yuezhen

looking at all her photos we can all conclude that yuezhen is a very silly person who likes to do funny things. hahaha. and indeed she's one person who can say or do the most hilarious things that completely take you by surprise (i cannot remember specific examples but there were a few times when her sudden comments just made me go WTF? and burst out laughing. but i think we'll always remember the memorable Stapler incident where she couldnt stop hiccuping. HAHAHA. man, i wasn't even there but just xinwei narrating the story was enough :P)

i first knew her when we were in the same OB and marketing classes back in year one sem one(which she claims she doesn't remember) and well, we weren't in the same groups so we didn't get to talk at all (and also, some people looked so dao. hahaha)after that, we didn't have anymore classes together until year two where we ended up in marketing together. the rest, as they say, is history. the clique that we formed there and then became the permanent group of friends that stuck together for the next two years, and the two of us had every single class together! even more than the rest. haha :)

always cheerful, helpful and full of crap, that's miss tai. thanks for always entertaining my 发花痴 moments, letting me play with your PSP on the way home, accompanying us for early mac breakfasts and gossipy lunches. hope your birthday would bring you lots of good luck! may you get to open your own shop and land a SHUAI GE (tsk. so superficial! hahah) with a six pack (like our korean hottie hor? hahahaha)

(okay i know i'm repeating whatever i told mei xin to write in your card. HAHA. sorry my creativity got limit lah)



next up, the Constant Wanderer shu xian!

half the time this woman is not even in singapore! i reckon by now she's been to practically the entire europe!

like yuezhen, i've known her right from the very start of school where we had the same OB and marketing classes. and because me, her and daniel (hahah omg i suddenly remember dear daniel!) were the only ones who didn't have econs class after marketing tutorial, we often took the same bus out of school after which i would head for my weekly shopping ritual at orchard while they went to the JP arcade. HAHAHA oh those were good times! and then with some luck, we ended in the same FM and IT class in the next semester (but she changed out of the IT class eventually. gosh i'm having all these flashbacks!) and even in the same FM group!

WHAHAHA.

and of course by some strange fate we realised that we're connected in more ways than just through nbs.

and then there's the CO link! haha!

yes lah, i really got 缘 with you lah, 恶心的! :)

shuxian is just one of those people that, i don't know, i can never remember what we talk about, but could just go on talking for ages. over the sems some friends came and went, but she's still here, even though for the past year we only had one class together! (okay lah kinda bobian, since we had to do fyp. hahah) but i'm glad because she's fun, nice, siao, and just one of the most awesome people i know!

thanks my lovelies. you guys have made two years in marketing just about the most memorable time in nbs. LOVE YOU BOTH!! :)
