UNSW - Syd, AU

convocation ceremony

(probably my last ever... seeing as i don't have plans to do a PhD...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

it was raining so hard at noon that day, i was so afraid i wasn't going to get a chance to go round taking pictures with Yuan!! Thank God, for He cleared the skies and provide plenty of glorious sunlight later that afternoon :))) too windy for Yuan's liking though...

so, anyways...

Yuan & i, together with the ex-housies, Yanis & Wilson, went round Uni ard 3-ish... along the way, the rest of the peeps came by to take photos. some came later that night after the ceremony. a couple came after work! *sniff sniff* touched!

i have about 300 photos... can't possibly post 'em all!!

so... here are just some of my fav. peeps!

**with Yuan; not the best pic but it does overlook the whole Quad. which was pretty much 'home' for a good part of my year(s) at UNSW**

**with the ex-housies -- Ian & Malcolm (also affectionately known as 'the didi(s) i live with') -- at Quad Lawn**

** twos company, threes a crowd?? no way!!! Yanis & Wilson were just sharing with me some of their sweet lurrrrrrrve**

and how can i forget... my darling girl Yuan!! for taking that 10days leave from work to travel back to AU with me, "only because i'm your sister"... for braving the rains and winds with me during our trip... for being so, so patient that day while the friends and i went around busy taking pictures and standing round catching up with our lives while you got colder and colder from the chilly winds that was blowing... honestly i could go on and on... but to keep it short, THANK YOU. For being my girl. LOVE!
