I was invited to attend the ITE Graduation Ceremony 2009 for Certificate of Merit Holders at University Cultural Centre, NUS. I came along with Ms Amy, Mr Lim and Mr Gan. Mr Gan drove his own car to there. I came in with Mr Lim, while Ms Amy went to park her car. Initially both of us are unsure of where our seating is. So we sat at the VIP gallery. It was quite weird because I seem to be the youngest together with other staffs who are quite old. Guest of Honour was Mr S Iswaran, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry, and Ministry of Education. It started with a choir singing the national anthem and the school song. It was quite funny to hear the male and female vocal singing in different segment of the song. However that was what it is suppose to be.

During the award presentation, Mr Gan, Mr Lim and me were guessing how long will the presentation end. There were 4 stacks of the award booklet and a table of award plaques, for around 600 top students. There was one time where the MCees had said out the wrong award, and the student immediately look back. Then everyone laughed, the expression of the student was rather funny. Some of them wore their army uniforms to get the award. I think the person with the most applaude was the old man who took the Full-time Nitec Certificate. It just shows that learning is never-ending. I saw Pearlyn, but didn't saw Siyu on stage. Then during that time Mr Gan was the only one who distinguishly applauded for those in Higher Nitec in Information Technology. He was so cute during that day. The way he walks in between others during the seating was also funny. Mr Lim and I just secretly laughed. ;D

After the ceremony was high tea, Mr Lim left since he was having cough. So I was there eating instead. The food provided from the catering was excellent, over 12 rows of catering tables. There was the vegetarian section, and reserved section for the VIP. I kept walking around to see if there are other types of food for me to eat. Most of the people manage to clear the meat, but not the vegetables and rice. The cakes were cleared out as well, except the Chendol. It seems too milky for me. My neighbour make it better than it. Sharks Fin soup for the reserved, but I didn't try it. I tried the Roasted Leg of Lamb with Mint Sauce, and the Turkey Breast meat. I like the Roasted Leg of Lamb, the roasting of the lamb meat was strong. ;D

Likewise this was the first time I saw the NUS Museum opened. The previous time I went to UCC, it was closed. It has the arts from Lee Kong Chian and other chinese paintings. Moreover the admission is free! ;D Posted by Purity And Simplicity at 13:20
