Chemistry Graduation Dinner 2011

The graduation dinner sort of gives a sense of finality to the whole end-of-student-life thingy. What's left is only the commencement ceremony. How fast time flies... I can still remember attending the whatsitcalled ceremony during year 1 at University Cultural Centre. So symbolic that we start at UCC and complete the circle by ending at UCC as well.

Anyway, as usual I was very last minute getting cosmetics in the afternoon. Didn't buy the curling iron in the end cos not sure how to use it anyway. Bought the hair cream (extreme right in the photo) from Watsons. There were so many creams and milks and sprays I didn't know what to choose. The one that I'd bought didn't work at all. My hair was as messy as usual :(

What I bought for the dinner

The food was not bad, I guess. The emcees were awfully lame though. The only jokes that were funny were those related to GE... The rest of the time they were just... inadequate. Awkward silences, getting the names of professors wrong and getting us to clap for the smallest things. The most memorable moments were the magic show (SUPER funny) and the performance by the professors. Prof Chan YT can play the keyboard (he claims he does not have formal training), can you believe it, and it was really charming. ;)
