favourite things III
Combat skirmish is one of the activities thabecause in there, are really nice and fun loving pple who are always out to have fun whether during work or play. its always nice to feel welcomed into a team, although i only see them once a few months.
over this weekend, we had our first combat skirmish ops league. Nothing too big, but everything went smoothly enough, apart from the down pour we had before the finals. We even had the zorb ball around, so all of us had a go inside it. cool stuff. you can do it with straps or without. after everything we packed up all the muddy equipment and headed back to the hotel suite to wash up before jumping over to No. 3 crab house for dinner. super hao liaoz the whole dinner. the crab curry. *drools
by then all of us were pretty zombiefied. went back to the hotel for our xmas gift exchange and a debrief and feedback session and half of them decided to push onto Phuture still cos hafez was spinning there and he put us on the invitation list. was too shagged so the other half of us decided to just hole up in the hotel room, talking cock over drinks. Sheridan’s is this coffee flavoured liquor that taste just like those chocolates that have alcohol in them. its so on my to buy list the next time i fly.
when all of us finally woke up on sunday, it was already 10 and we had to rush to return some equipment to store. after some hard labour, had lunch at Ms Clarity Cafe and they dropped me home while some of them still had to go back to Josh’s to repair some guns.
it was a gd wkend. tired, bloated but satisfied. =]

To have our 4/4 casuarina prata outing. Its always good to see all the guys again, even though we always end up talking about nothing but useless cock, this useless cock always leaves me feeling good aftertat. =]
thanks guys for the peewee, and the girlies for the lovely Corrinne May cd and other stuff that I wanted. hahaha.. jingfang complained that i was using them to do my groceries, rather than a proper gift.
To have a drink at Brewerkz or Iguana’s with the radio peeps and irritating some poor soul who was doing night shift and thus couldnt join us, mms-ing him loads of photos of us toasting and pigging out on great food. Niahahaha. They better dun do this to me when I’m on night shift.

graduation in the “harry potter hall”
Finally, the day of graduation arrives, 3 mths after I started work. It all feels kind of strange really. there wasn’t a tinge of ecstasy, like how you see graduates throwing their caps into the air, with jubilant smiles and stupid photos of them picking up their hats after that cos no one can ever catch it on its way down. But it was still a nice feeling, having the butterflies in your stomach before walking up that stage, tking that handshake from the Chancellor, and then wobbling down the stage again with the certificate.
The pretty hall and quadrangle was a huge incentive, with the painted glass and huge pipe organ behind. Somebody once told me that the Great Hall that we see in Harry potter movies were modeled after our Great Hall. But i told i read somewhere that it was modeled after christchurch college in oxford. But it was close enough. heh. We even had live organ music during the ceremony. The feeling was quite surreal really. Too bad there weren’t floating candles in the ceiling or white owls flying around =]
I’m really glad that I went back for the ceremony, becos sydney was the place where I spent a year studying in, a place where new friendships were forged, a place which also made me understand that life isn’t all that its made out to be too. =]
