Chapter 38--Class of 2008

Went to the life science graduates commencement ceremony on Friday evening to witness the “passing out parade”of some of my fellow course mates and I must say that it has been a night of mixed emotions for me. Although I am happy that some of my friends have successfully graduated and are about to or have already embarked in the next phrase of their life which is seeking a full time job, I cannot help but feel sad at the same time also that my 4th year will be so much more lonely and boring without them around. Even though I have already been mentally prepared for it when I chose to pursue honours, yet that night I still so much wanted to hold on to them…

Anyway, here are tributes to a few of my friends who have accompany me through rain and shine for the past 3 memorable year and are now embarking on another chapter of their lives…

Jiewen: One of my soul mate since primary school days which made our friendships close to 18 years, it would certainly seems strange not having you around in school to accompany me for lunch, breaks, lectures or lab sessions. Cannot believe that more than 8 years of being classmates and 15 years of being schoolmates have now finally really comes to an end. Wonder what life has in store for us for the next 18 years more of friendships. Will we even become colleagues in future?

Siling: If I have not took lsm2202, if I have not work at the same bench as you, I would not have met such a nice and wonderful person. Will remember the times when we crack and stress our brains to rush through the cardio essay and presentation J

Shaokai: Another dear friend of mine since secondary school days. Never fail to provide entertainment around during lab sessions. Now, lab sessions will be so much more boring without your funny comments and jokes.L

Yong Ann: Although we are of different course, we still manage to meet up for lunch when possible. A good friend of mine whom I can bitch about life and NUS with. Will certainly remember the funny and enjoyable times spent in the kayaking course.

Besides the above mentioned, I would also like to thank those friends that have contributed in one way or another that makes my tertiary life so much more colourful for the past 3 years. Hong yi for being such a good lab partner during my first year making that bitchy TA in LSM1103 slightly more tolerable as well as Manga and Song kun for being such great project mates in my human physiology and effective communication course respectively.

Lastly, to all my dear friends who have graduated, I wish you all the best of luck in finding your dream jobs…


I miss you guys n gals…


regards,
Yongster

Still many more good years ahead...
