hello internet :)
15th december was the day of the graduation ceremony of my monash university foundation.
time sure flies by and it'll be christmas tomorrow. i was at fault too for procrastinating and not blogging this much sooner haha. i already mentioned all my thoughts i had after college on my pre-pre-post so i'll only speak about the details on my graduation on this one. i still remember how nervous i was on the first day of college, first day of orientation. seeing as i wasn't an initiator on making friends or conversations, i had a nervous breakdown. and the moment my brother forced me out of my comfort zone i saw that everyone already made cliques and thought that maybe i was too late to actually try my chances. but then i met zr.
i could see that everyone around me changed into someone better, someone more mature and responsible. but i think i stayed the same. i think that i may have distanced myself from others and eventually i have the perspective that i'm kinda a really bad friend because i don't do the things they do. i'm not someone to keeps in contact with someone regularly which is something i'm not really proud of but i don't want to force myself to do something that doesn't feel genuine. but i constantly hope that you remember that you are always in my heart even though it doesn't look like it, okay? (really proud to have friends like the squad, small worth and crescent moon to understand what i mean by this, i hope you guys know who you are hahaha.)
to my dear college friends, i'm suddenly feeling the mood to write letters to each of you haha. all of you had made an impact on me for sure but i'm not sure if i should convey the message out or keep it to myself to tell you personally. i'll think about it. okay enough chit chat. i should be talking about grad night but i got carried away again.

T'WAS THE NIGHT OF THE GRADUATION:
since i thought i screwed up on prom, i didn't want to ruin it for graduation night. this time, i actually got my dress not last minute (which is amazing for me)! i was STRUGGLING with my make-up sesh by myself in my room. i thought i had everything under control since i practiced hahaha. honestly, i was pretty satisfied of myself until i saw esther's eyeshadow looking so BOMB.
as soon as i entered the lobby at sunway hotel, i was informed that esther would be waiting for me at the front door but i saw nobody there. so i went and look around and found keekeen and mike (yeeyang my primary school mate actually lol) instead. out of 365 days of 2016, i have been wearing glasses for 364 days and on that one day i attempted on wearing contact lenses. they couldn't even recognize me which was
of course as soon as esther came out of the bathroom, she immediately wanted to take pics and selfies:

| your local bananas in your area. |
so we entered the ballroom and the ceiling was super gorgeous. omg and let me tell you about esther's hair (bless the person who helped her do it and made her look so good). kk couldn't take his hands off of her *ekhem*.
throughout the night, we were always thinking of yx since she was the one who suggested the whole thing and was eager to come but unfortunately she was ill so she couldn't make it. we even did snapchat tributes for her (about three of us who stick by her since semester one). we miss you so much yx *cri*. i sat next to esther and sherman, who both brought their significant others. which made me into not just a third-wheeler but a fifth-wheeler. fkin hell sherman is such an asshole who told me to bring someone so i wouldn't be alone HAHAHA (my typical bants and rants with sherman no biggie). i know he's actually trying to take care of me through the night just like how esther and keekeen did too. they keep bringing me food to my plate like omg thank you, god bless y'all.
i even got to catch up with some friends who weren't around on that night because they were out the states or on a vacation. got to have a small chat with dt through sherman who's currently in vietnam (lol loser jkjk). out of our gang with about fourteen people, only the ones who lived in KL could come. it's pretty saddening but i know how expensive the cost would be haha. still, would loved if you guys were here. lim zr, our high heels experience flopped haha. i hope i will be there when you get your first high heels so i can be your first ;).
the dinner was so typical chinese wedding dinner. we went upstage to receive the *cough* ugliest certificate ever *cough*. and just so you know it, the event ended earlier than expected. i was on the phone with my mom informing her to come earlier since it ended so quickly, freaking yeeyang came and screamed into the phone like omg if you weren't my friend, i swear i would've killed you gdi. but yeah good times. then picture time outside!
COLLEGE FRIENDS TRIBUTE:
to ashleigh and jamie, my orientation mates:
started from the bottom now we here, amazing how we stay friends for so long even if we study in different fields while there are others who get ignored by their orientation mates hahaha.
ash: i never regret the day i asked about your love for exo because it was on your bag XD. thank you for all the times in english class especially movie time when we ratchet on the characters on the movie and actually girl cuddle in the dark which was super memorable for me.
jamie: to the person who brought the orientation gang together, sorry for not promising that lunch out together in the end :(. i don't meet you as much as ash since we're not in the same classes but i'm forever grateful for you to approach us on that day.
to yeeyang, my primary school mate:
i knew you were still a smart ass till now hahaha. stay lovable in your own way and thank you for remembering me. it was not nice to steal my bag when i'm taking my pictures lol. and good choice on picking a grey suit to stand out in the crowd. as your friend, i'm proud of you. stay in touch.
