Staff Appreciation Day

Receive a pleasant suprise today.Apparently the CF was having an event and all the staff received a highlighter.I guess i'm more of a marketing staff then a researcher or research assistant,which ever they chose to label us by.For some reason or another,my supervisor Kak Wati decided to take a sniff at it.Hers smelled like strawberry since it was pink.So i decided to sniff mine too.It smelled like cough mixture.Hmmm.Well all the other staff started to take a whiff at theirs too,the purple one really smelled like grapes.Oh well,it's a nice gesture no matter what it smells like.Thanks imu cf.

Convocation Day

24th May '08 Phase 1 officially over

Convocation as we know it signifies a solemn affair.Everything has to be done following a certain ritual or more to say tradition,since when?I have no idea.Everyone came dress in their best white/black formal attire or at least most of us did,some were more creative,flashing myriad of colours with traditional clothing .Even those who go all out to defy the normal IMU dresscode came in the most formal attire he/she had.All for the sake of waiting patiently for their turn to walk up the stage (and with good luck,not trip), taking a few bows and receiving that meaningful scroll that signifies the end of the journey thus far.Obviously not forgetting to flash a few smiles while the photographers snapped away.After the whole ceremony,we did even more snapping with our own personal cameras.Well actually, we already started way earlier.What were we to do?Since we only took all of 5 minutes to put our robes on which was obviously lacking of the hood and mortarboard.When we're only halfway there,they only give you half the accessories.

In the robbing room

I sense some hidden agenda...We even took time to do this

Neverthelesss, i wouldn't say i knew how a normal convo felt like but i don't think this was it.Yes it was an experience to be the one on the stage,an opportunity to share the occasions with friends and family but it didn't give me that sense of achievement or satisfaction i suppose that should come with it.It didn't help that not many of my batch mates attended either.I guess the only people whom i know really felt proud was my parents that day.Dad even postponed attending a meeting with his big big boss to be there to pass me my flowers.Aww..sob sob.So touched,can cry ade.It meant more to them then it ever would to me.From my point of view,sadness was the first to set in,i know from this day forward that i might not or will not see a portions of my friends whom i'm so used to having around.There goes another chapter of my life closing up.I currently feel like an Akon song...Lonely.

Roach Attack

I'm on my way back to pg.Still in the bus althought my ticket says 8.30pm and i'm theoratically suppose to arrive 2hours ago.Have the Wesak Day crowd to blame for that.Worst part is i can't sleep cos i accidentally stumbled on or more like a cockroach stumbled onto my arm.I'm not one to be squemish about the flying insects but after the first encounter, i saw probably a family of roaches partying on my right and another on my left.Now it makes me wonder if there is a nest of them just below me?

Mission Accomplished

After slacking off the whole of Saturday,i decided to go move about.Since Midval would be an awfully bad choice due to crowd and the fact that i've been there earlier this week,it might have been best to go explore new places.

First thing that came into mind was that Summer Luggage Fair in Sogo.So i googled the location and headed for the area.One notice of caution,don't believe everything you see in the internet.According to the map i googled,Sogo was o.2km from the Bandaraya Lrt and i'm suppose to walk along some road.When i walked out of the stop,the mall was actually connected to the station.No need to walk along some road.

When i entered,immediately saw some sales goin on...oops nope..it's just Padini sales with the big 70% off.So people who wants to grab some stuff go quick,i think till 20th May.Ventured the mall till i found a sign that directed me to the 5Floor.When i reached i scanned around.Tak ada orang pun?I asked the cashier where was the fair.She pointed to an area in front of me.Needless to say super disappointment.There weren't many luggages to choose from.

Found another luggage corner...and i feel in love with this Elle Messenger Bag.I so want this.

But instead i got a Red Sisley bag which i love even more...Can die of happiness now.

However what really made my day was a view of the artificial waterfall at the food court.Somehow it was really great to have a nice lunch looking at such greenery.Even if its fake.
