My graduation day - 30 Nov 2015

When I was younger, I did not manage to complete my tertiary education due to poor grades and lack of funds to study abroad. It was only after I have to nurture my own kids that I thought of attempting to further my education. Well, I failed in a couple of modules and retook my exams and passed. After a seemingly long journey, my graduation day, 30th November 2015 finally arrived.

I have my mother to thank for these shots of me on stage. It was just a simple ceremony..

I was very glad to have so many Guests-of-honour attending this ceremony with me. They are none other than my family members! :)

My sister & brother-in-law..

My parents, my wife and my three kids..

It was a very hot day and we were wise to stay indoors to do our photo-taking.

Of course, there was also some professional photographers to help us capture these special memories on this very special day.

I had to take the opportunity to show off my very special, limited edition SG50 Commando Logo watch as a lot of friends posted their watches on Facebook that day..

Other Guest-of-honour include an old friend of mine Dr Poh Lee Guan, who happened to be a guest of the school. I haven't seen him for quite a while and it was a great opportunity to catch up.

I had wanted to go to the UK for my graduation in June this year, but was not able to due to the arrival of my son. In a blink of an eye, he is already almost six months old. In the preparation for this day, I recalled something very important while having lunch with my family on this day..

30th November is the birthday of our eldest daughter..which occurs exactly one year from the date me & my wife got married!

30th November is also our wedding anniversary date!!

I would like to take this opportunity to specially thank my wife for taking care of the kids and home all these years. Of course, I would also like to thank the many important people around me; My parents, my siblings, the rest of my extended family and friends for being with me along this journey! Thank you!

30th November is a very special day(I signed up to become a member of the university's alumni on this day too)!..I better save it in my calendar. :p

Happy 48th Birthday Singapore!

I would like to wish all my fellow Singaporeans a very Happy National Day! 祝新加坡， 生日快乐，国泰民安 !

Looking forward- National Day Parade 2013

I haven't updated my blog for many months. 

In a few day's time, it will be Singapore's 48th Birthday and I can barely contain my excitement this year! 

For more than the past decade, my attempts at balloting for NDP tickets was quite hopeless and I even gave up attempting to ballot in recent years. Attending NDP 2013 would be the last thing on my mind because the first two weeks of August was earmarked as my exam period for the degree course I am currently reading. My last exam date for this semester actually falls on 8th August, the Hari Raya holiday.

Maybe I would have joined the other half of the population to go on a trip over the long holiday if not for my exams..

Last night, when I was offered the NDP tickets for 9th August from an MP, I jumped for it(and for joy)!

Although I will be bringing my 2 kids together with my wife, probably on public transport and walk long distances under the sun and squeeze with many other fellow citizens(I assume)..I am so looking forward to it!

I tried looking for more information such as what time to turn up and where exactly are the entrances on the official NDP Website, but cannot seem to find the information I am looking for..Looks like I'll have to ask my friends or family who have attended recent previews..

BTW..I will not sell these tickets..my friends..don't even try.. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! CHEERS!
