Yesterday night was a beautiful night - the first ever USP graduation dinner. And to think i almost missed it… hmm

We had a standard 8 or 10 course dinner (I don’t remember because I didn’t eat much), but I was running around too much meeting people I havn’t met in years! It’s been too long Among the people I was really glad to meet, in order of merit from best to worse (yeah, right :P):

• Felicia Chan, who was in my USP orientation group 4 years back - thanks for being such a great friend
• Jocelyn Chiu, who bitched to me non-stop about a particular guy she had to endure SEP with - optimism grounded in reality is key!
• Hong Yi, my fellow muggertoad in SoC, keep in touch!
• Simin, who worked with me in the NUSSU Bizcom Bash 2003 - can you buy me some chocolates with the $100 NTUC voucher you won?
• Jian Lun, who danced with me in the USP Rag Dance 2003 - you look as dashing as ever! ROM soon ok? Simin will say yes…
• Rina, who is always so fierce to me.. haha.. just kidding.
• Gracia, who played USP inter-faculty softball with me - glad to meet you again and go change the world with those youths!
• Aaron Ho, who ran past, grabbed a photo with me and didn’t even stop to talk (i forgive you :))
• Xinmei, who I met at my first USP module (Remember? Discourse is very hard… haha)
• Prof Albert Teo! Continue to do what you are doing for USP. I’m deeply respectful for the things you do - fabulous is an understatement!
• Eugene Ng, who stayed with me in level B2 of PGP in year 1… haha, those were the days aint it?
• Benjamin, who was with me at UBC in Vancouver as well as in level B2

The evening was indeed interesting… We had star performances by many of the staff… Peter Pang did a cantonese solo, Albert Teo did a Beethoven something (don’t trust me to remember those names) in A/B/C/D/E/F/G Sharp/Minor/Major. heh. We had an awesome skit by the MCs and some seriously excellent singing there…

Lijing and I had the most awesome post-event catching up too - we talked about a lot of things, mainly revolving around job hunting and stuff that happened in the past 2 years. Hey look, you have an award winning smile there in the photo below… use it in the job interviews, lah.
