Just reached home after watching Final Destination in 3D at Lido. I must say the 3D effects at Lido feels better than the time i watch a 3D show at The Cathay. While the the 3D effects felt better this time round, im feeling very disappointed with the show. Having like the premise as well as the details of the first Final Destination, this installment of Final Destination while still following the original premise, lacks the finesse of the first series and instead loads up on the grotesques factor, and in my opinion drops the watchability of the show.

Before the show, my friend and i had a rather interesting conversation about who will get married first. Surprisingly, my friend is of the opinion that i will probably find someone soon and settle down a year later like that. Actually, the idealist me actually kind of like this idea, thought or whatever you want to call it. However the realist in me thinks that this is probably not possible simply because this is not a place where "till death do us part" will feed the stomach and i feel i should be realistic about this also. Haha... well... as far as personal life goes, i think i will just take it one step at a time and see how it goes. If it comes, it comes otherwise... life goes on.

Got a scare this morning when i heard my mum saying that my brother has landed in hospital after his run. I was still lying in bed when i heard my mum say something about heat exhaustion then followed by something about torn ligament. I was like thinking what the f*** are the organizers doing...!! It is traumatizing enough for a parent to hear that the son is in hospital... not knowing what happen and having to leave the parents hanging is just a screw up of mega proportion. Thankfully my brother just suffered some heat exhaustion... a couple of days rest and he should be up and running.

What a unproductive day (from my point of view) today. Went for a photo-shoot in the evening to take a family portrait and a personal graduation photo. First thing when we reach the studio was the lady boss asking me when im gonna get married (so that they can help take my wedding photos because they are actually a bridal company). I understand that they make more money from the wedding packages blah blah blah... but mentioning that in front of my mum means planting some ideas, thoughts and what not in her mind (not too sure about my dad though) , which will translate into some form of nagging for me... (not too good, not too good). Then came the actual photo-shoot. The 'tilt head left', 'tilt head right', 'turn head left', 'turn head right' thing was personally pretty irritating. This got me thinking... if shooting for 3 photos has got me all riled up... i shrudder to think what i would need to do to endure a wedding shoot.

Finally, the day of my convocation has arrived. This has been a day which my parents have been looking forward to for a very long time... this day where i get to wear the "square hat". I guess to them its like seeing the fruit of their labour and im glad i managed to what they had hoped for me to do. So here are some memories from my convocation...













Now the moment we have all been waiting for...

Pace of activity at my work place has now start to pick up for me. After a week of more theoretical training, im now starting to do more production task... today being the first time i did a full production task. For the first time im feeling the gravity of my work. It is quite a demanding position but at the same time a position where i can gain a substantial amount of knowledge. Took up a hobby project also today... pretty interesting project i must say... also a good something to help me take my mind off work and perhaps relax a bit.

Went to collect my graduation gown and mortar hat this afternoon. Time past real quickly... four years ago this time i was just preparing to start my university life... and its over now. Saw an old friend there too. Nice to see some familiar faces from my old days. Anyway thats all for today, i will continue from here in a couple of weeks time with updates from my convocation...

Just ended my first week at work. Im now starting to appreciate why people say that studying is the best time of my life. I've not even started on my job proper (im still in the training phase) and already i come home feeling spent. Gosh... can't imagine when i start doing actual work (or maybe i just need some getting use to). But the people there so far seems quite nice and they do look after new people like me. They are also willing to teach you things... at least for now... so i say it is a good start... hopes it stays this way.
