Graduation!

Today (k, yesterday, to be precise) was their graduation ceremony... Daphne, Vivian, Shuxian & Barry. And DG & Jasca too. Daph's was the earlier slot... 11am. So I reached sch near 10 so that she can take photos in her gown. Attended the ceremony, took some more photos, and waited to meet the IT peeps.

Damien bought Daphne flowers. And a teddy! Haha! Then I was thinking whether it'd be weird if I gave Shuxian flowers. Think think think... then I thought, whatever la. Everyone's gonna get something, she's my good friend, what can stop me from giving her something? But then the flowers at UQ Centre so weird... K, not weird la. Gerberas, yellow lilies, roses, honey suckle... I don't think there's much more variety. And these will be held by everyone! So boring... She likes bright happy colors (ain't that right?)... like the sunflower! I remembered seeing some growing somewhere before. No, not the giant sunflowers at the glasshouses. Those are long shrivelled. I couldn't place a finger to it just then... My mind was a blank. And time was running out! Stupid brain of mine... *pffft* But it came to me eventually. Anyways, I was thinking if I should wait for Barry to drive me there or run there... decided on the latter, left my equipment with Sue, ran all the way to where the sunflowers grow. No, I shan't reveal the place coz I know you girls read my blog sometimes... Haha! Just know that it's not exactly near to sch... Anyhoo, I rapped on the owner's door to ask if I could get a few sunflowers. The old man was abit deaf & quite slow... But thank you anyway! He was really kind! Took a garden shears along to cut the pretty lil things. He said sometimes ppl just pluck 'em, and that's not very nice. But I picked a smaller one & a larger one to complement each other... and he cut them for me, gave me a wet towel, & cling wrap. Yay! Yes, I know it's not exactly a beautiful buncha flowers... but at least it's unique ok! And the sincerity is there too! But more importantly, no one else has it. Haha!

As I was walking on the road to wait for Jared to come pick me up, my spider-sense went off! And soon after that, I see a white Magna driving down Sir Fred... squinted: 989 IMY. SHIT! That's Barry! I wonder if any of them saw the 2 sunflowers in my hand. Of course, I tried to hide it as best I can... Haha! It'd be no more surprise if Shuxian saw it.

Anyways, it appears they didn't see it. So I left it in Jared's car, wait till all of them go in already, I ran to his car again, then ran back to UQ Centre... I was dripping sweat down my chin can! Haha! But yeah, it's for a good cause. =)

After everything, we all went round UQ to take some more photos. Take take take until 6, maybe? Then we headed to return to gowns le.

Yup! That's my day! The gowns were so cool can... look like lawyer... haha! I like, totally can't imagine myself in that...

*shrugs* O wells... we'll see how that goes...

Ok ok... I'm tired. Think I'll sleep le. G'night!

Oh ya, we ate gyoza at DL's too! Hahaha!

He misses her so much... aching... *sigh* Sometimes he wonders how he could bear it for so long... Sometimes he feels like he's gonna burst! Absence makes the heart fonder? I dunno... but absence definitely makes the heart ache so much more...

Love me if you dare... 00:16
