Valedicts 2007 : the Goblet of Fraternitas


Valedicts is over and without much drama. (that's a good thing!)
I had a good night, even if it was extremely long for everyone else. (haha, but we only get to leave once right?)
Anyway, it's supposedly the last formal dinner ever. No more gowns? Well, maybe at graduation. We had an awesome awesome walk in song, and everything just seemed pretty good. Our guest speaker was extremely entertaining (although a bit cheonghei - which is why i understood!) and the musical acts were good too. Steph Seah excellent song choice - Save Tonight and the acapella group! (which is great because I was in it) All the awards were pretty funny - Best Login Name to Dildo, The DuU Award to Sheanee Poh, The Hhhmmm... Award to Andrew Oppenheim.. Well done Alternitas guys!
Just a few photos cos it's such a pain uploading. they're all on facebook tho!

Come on, do it with me now. DuUuUu
Dottie! She feels like she shrunk
Hello guests!
Bec and Nicki = loves
Maybe not so sober dancing group
Outside Intersection!

The exciting news? I got Fraternitas! All that slaving for IH finally paid off! And it feels good - not just getting the award, but the fact that people did cheer for me, and i felt that i was acknowledged. It's just special when people come up to you and say you deserved that.
Yay.. contented.

Puggs was good fun too. Although didn't drink as much as I thought i would, i did dance a lot! (and lose my camera case - booo). A lot of funny boozy conversations (or more like ramblings) i.e.: Sheanee Poh and the guest speaker (who went to Puggs with us and Peter Cole!) I shall reenact.
(On the way to Puggs)
Sheanee: Aiya.. didn't get to talk to the lawyer guy.
(Upon arrival at Puggs)
Jeannie: Oh, Hi Steve! (the lawyer guy) I have someone who wants to meet you.
(drag Sheanee)
Sheanee: What am i supposed to say (to me) Oh Hello!
Steve: Hello!
Sheanee: I'm a law student
Steve: Good for you.
Sheanee: So, will you give me a job?

At this point, me feeling "WAHLAU.. Sheanee!" decide to sneak off and leave them and grab my drink. But apparently Joe and her spoke to him the whole night so there! Never doubt the pub for networking opps.

At the end of the night, there was the customary waiting in front of Intersection for people and their pizzas. Coming back in the foyer, we had the sight of Pete Nevett with torn pants and a strip of it tied on his head. Haha. Don't ask me - he didn't know either.


Grace was tipsy and funny, she wanted to stay up to watch the sunrise. In the end all us oldies trooped off home though. (too much excitement for 1 day)

Special Kudos to Rajinda who was the first to fulfil his aspiration! [to make it up the stage and collect the goblet without falling]
Even bigger Kudos to Randy for FAILING his aspiration first! [to make it to Puggs that night] Hahaha.. he fell asleep in his room and let's just say there's something to do with trail and something to do with vomit. (Eeewww...)

Anyway, nothing to plan for IH anymore! Mummy's arriving on Monday to pamper me and I have a hell of a lot of work ahead. But instead i ran Ekiden (fastest ever! 45 mins for 5 km - and not last! - and felt pretty good. Thanks Uncle Chan, Adrian and Chin Yu [ok, and the cyclists - especially Raymond!] for bearing with me!), cleaned up my apartment (mummy coming la) thoroughly - and i mean scrubbed stove, wiped floor and shelves and vacuumed kind of thoroughly- and spent the day uploading and tagging photos.
Aiyak! Nvm... preparing for the work only. Phew.. All that done now. Better study hard tonight!

p.s: And Yes, i DID have a really bad headache when I woke up the next morning for 10 am meeting.
