Mediocre Me: August 2016

Photo dump (once again)

Pre-HK

One random morning's random decision to go Safra with the three little imps

And this, finally a chance to drink with the LYLC peeps and the damage was intense

Some of my favourite people who made staying overseas for half a year more bearable

Missed our train back and forfeited RM5 for a nice seafood dinnner but still, dream team never fails to impress. Great JB trip and hopefully many more to come!

Still made it to meet this gang despite coming back late from JB (and also sacrificed my family dinner). And the night was pretty much as blurry as this photo

This was taken before but just gonna slot it in. 4 years of blood, sweat and tears. Not gonna have this feel any more in my life...

And with that, it's time to go for the next three grad trip!

...

Post NZ:

This happened. And many more (unusually frequent) meeting to come with this gang these two months

This also happened. Still my favourite musical ever

(so far)

This also happened on 23rd July. And I like how some of us are just more picture-ready than others

Then there was this Saturday at old airport road for some flea market thingy in some artsy place that I can't remember

And walked over to Tian Kee to have my first meal here (that's not dessert). Not too shabby

Then received this Thank You flower that I don't really deserve but thanks so much for remembering me, Charmaine! All the best for your future endeavour, my preetz colleague~

And this was what we had during the farewell dinner at Mad for Garlic, super good! And a good networking session for me also haha

Then this happened the next day, where I faced adult workplace loneliness for the first time. Kena arrow, no choice

And then this random meet up with Yunfeng, Jiaxin and Bird-jie, once again with Jojo pangsehing

Yup, at Lepark. New hideout I guess... For research purposes hahaha

Somehow I got back here the next day at Chinatown

Wanted to check this fest out but the look on the polo tee guy queueing up represents everyone's feelings there. Are you kidding me?!

Then this happened with my handsum group of friends on the Saturday before we see each other for the next two weeks, all because Gab pon this round of ICT

And then it's back to this view at Pasir Ris

With a new nights out activity just 200m from camp!

Swaggidy

Then four years anniversary happened! Just another day when you're having the best day of your life everyday with the one you love. Actually, could have been better if I get to see her everyday haha

Then National Day happened and Pokemon gang really started playing Pokemon Go. No Mr Mime still though

Actually LOL there is (this guy used bot, ban him!)

Fast forward to the weekend after outfield and out-pro matters, this nice cafe happened with the nun before we caught a Jap show at the Projector, and meeting the NZ gang for Bingsu (what a waste of money)

Sorry gotta backtrack one day to this "farewell party" for Ms Neo at her place before her two years stint at Vietnam but her flight has now been postponed until dunno when. Also, discovered the Channel 8 drama side of our lives... Haha

Then this random supper happened when I almost didn't make it cos I was too lazy. And then I went. And met the other pair. And I regret I wasn't lazy enough to spare myself the agony of being the lightbulb amongst these two (weird) pairs. Ok actually I enjoyed it HAHA. This is how others feel around my and Ah Blur! Now I know lol

This happened shortly after, my last every group in NUS and look, my bro is holding my hands~ haha nohomo

This happened on the Saturday after a crazy 3-bottle Friday Zouk night. I was asking the guy beside if I reek of alcohol but ok, I guess Prof Chia can't smell it from this distance. Also, went out to la Kopi with the gang after this shot and came back to a dismissed hall. Lol. Missed the two other photo opps but oh wells

Then it's lunch time with this favourite gang in a vey drowsy state

Then it's Wednesday for this. It's good closure despite the strange feeling of unfamiliarity in a familiar place

Done with this (for the time being)

SNF with ah Piao after a long Saturday of welcome party, Swimming, and interview for a volunteer job. Also, Zouk happened again the night before, with Bird Jie having guest appearance. Not as fun as the week before but man, it's been awhile since we last had two consecutive crazy Friday nights! Haha

Then Train to Busan with this timid girl. Apparently it's gonna be our last ever horror haha! And no, was t National Day nor CNY, just a pair of shirt she bought from Thailand previously. Haha

And last but not least, the Recon 1 SMARTOs. Sweet and Tasty!

Also, dinner with Songen and Jingyi the next evening but no photos. Steamboat and $2 yogurt were damn shiok though!

PS: memories doesn't work very well now so it's kinda pics-or-it-didn't-happen now and so many other things happened but are not blogged. Oh wells

insert graduation song lyrics

Ok I got lazy even with the title. And I'm starting this cos I really need to clear my photos. And I'm bored shitting in the toilet, so here goes (PS: I'll upload NZ stuff after these)

So yea, this happened

One of my few friends to walk down this journey with me, though it's just her asking me questions most of the time. Lol! But really, wouldn't have made it this far without all her questions

And this girl who taught me humility when my ultra-huge ego hurt her with my retarded words. Wouldn't have lasted through my dark and lonely winter days in Sweden without her

This photo doesn't do our handsomeness justice but yea, we'll make do. Thanks for slogging through hell with me for the last two sem, and of course, to adopt this lonely friend of yours into your numerous groups, where I've met some really hardworking people. Definitely won't get the awesome results without your presence. From one of my first few friends in CHS, to my very last group mate cum slogging buddy in NUS, thanks bro

And this group of AMAZING people! I don't even know what karma I've accumulated to be randomly grouped with this bunch of retards but heck, we aren't only the dream team in Econs (actually one team beat us but mehhhh), we even own the escape room; some even say best in JB. Lol. FYI: My achievement dwarves compared to the rest here

This was even before SEA but cos a certain bro standing beside me didn't make it for this year's commencement so yea, this will do. One of the other bro who walked this academic journey with me from CHS to NUS (and still has one more year for him to go). This photo is representative of the adventures we have had together, this being one of the final ones. No matter on political science, philosophy, social issues or economics, our interests coincide; and he's always the first that comes to my mind whenever I wanna do something beyond textbooks (of course, many times, within textbooks also find him). And here also features a group of passionate friends (less one) I've made to show me that age doesn't matter (oh, Min Ong, you included). And the guy in pink? One of my most respected figure and really glad to have made this friend in my time in Uni (and yea, beyond).

Butt's getting numb so yea, happy graduation to myself!
