Had a small gathering with Xinyi, Jiajie, Limei and Brauns on Friday evening. I was under the impression that we were supposed to discuss the impending Hongkong trip. turns out we spent most of the time talking about anything but that. Once again, its amazing how uncountable the number of stuff we can talk about. Anyway, in all likelihood, i guess there isn't going to be any coordinated trip after all, seeing everyone has some work commitment one way or the other. Its actually next to impossible for everyone to take time off together. Its hard enough finding time off to gather together to discuss details, and that only takes an evening. Oh well, I thought it might be fun; last time we went overseas together was about 3 or 4 years ago. I don't know about them but I thoroughly enjoyed that experience.
Anyway, i managed to obtain some of the convocation pics from various sources. Its not complete and i expect to be able to put up more pics from time to time so do check it out occasionally. ;) Friends who wish to put up their pictures alongside mine(and who also happens to read this entry) can send them to me via relentlesspursuit@gmail.com or through MSN Messenger, if i happen to be on your list.
Well, the pictures are all uploaded here.
By the way, its the Chinese Seventh Month now, as people in Singapore might know. one question that has incessantly been on my mind is "why are there TWO Seventh Months this year?" Apparently one of my friends knew the answer, and as though anticipating people will ask this, launch into a very, shall we say, indepth explanation regarding the mystifying workings of the Chinese calender. I was impressed, but still didn't really know what the hell she was talking about(sorry Xinyi). I guess I didn't realised you can get this technical regarding days and dates. I was reassured though that in spite of this, we only "commemorate" this occasion once. Thats quite a relief. Imagine if we had to go through Qingming twice?
